Recently I went to a wellness summit in Boulder, Colorado where I learned a bit about biohacking. You may be like myself and have heard of the word and understood what it means, or this may be the first time you have even heard of the term. Let me first share what my understanding of biohacking is; the practice of employing methods drawn from fields like biology, genetics, neuroscience, and nutrition to enhance your mental and physical performance.
But how do we go about incorporating biohacking into our lives? First off, nutrition is a method to enhance performance that I currently work on with clients as a health coach and nutritionist. Some examples of this are intermittent fasting and time restricted eating. When our bodies are in a state of fast, the body has time to regenerate cells, detox what does not serve us, and improve the body’s mitochondrial function. Infrared light therapy is another modality that I have been familiar with prior to attending this wellness week. Infrared light therapy promotes cellular repair and is used often to improve recovery time from an injury. It also may reduce inflammation, acute and chronic, improve the appearance of skin as well. I personally use an infrared light therapy machine at my gym 3x per week.
I have been discovering that there are many types of “biohacking” out there, and I learned about quite a few of them at the Dragonfly Wellness Week in Boulder. Leela Quantum Tech is a company that manufactures products that help to balance your energy, enhance performance, and neutralize harmful EMF’s. I bought a necklace for my husband and I, and we wear them every day and have both felt an overall state of calm and peace when we wear them, it’s incredible! Up next, I attended a panel on the benefits of crystals. I was excited to attend this seminar as I have not had much experience with crystals prior to this event. Well, after all is said and done, I purchased this incredible blanket from Crystal Blanket, you also can on their website. This blanket also protects you from harmful EMF’s like Leela, it also supports the body’s metabolic energy balance and amplifies the body natural healing abilities. Honestly, when I wrap this blanket around myself it feels like an instant hug to my para sympathetic nervous system. Lastly, I met a wonderful woman, Alexandra Cochrane the founder of Scandilabs, who introduced me to the Wellness Week in Boulder. She was a brilliant source of information, vibrant and had great energy! Scandilabs’ liposomal immune formula provides a simple yet highly effective means of strengthening the immune system and preventing illness. The immune formula has essential vitamins and antioxidants that are absorbed efficiently to optimize overall well being. This product is in liquid form and has elderberry formulated in it giving it a tasty flavor.
I hope I have inspired you to look into the world of biohacking and see about some modalities that may interest you and support you on your health journey! Please comment below about any modalities you are currently employing and enjoy. Happy Healing!
