WHAT IS BIOHACKING?

Biohacking is the art and science of optimising your body and mind through intentional lifestyle changes. It’s about working with your biology using nutrition, technology and habit shifts to enhance performance, longevity and overall well-being.

At its core, biohacking is about taking control of your health. It’s the belief that small, strategic interventions can create meaningful change, whether thats improving energy, resilience or cognitive function.

“WHY IS BIOHACKING BECOMING SO POPULAR?”

Biohacking is booming because people are taking more a proactive approach to health, moving away from reactive healthcare and towards self-optimisation. With advances in science, technology and personalised wellness, individuals now have access to tools and data that allow them to track, tweak and enhance their biology like never before.

FOR SOMEONE WHO’S NEW TO BIOHACKING, WHATS THE BEST WAY TO START?

If you’re new to biohacking, start with simple, high-impact habits that optimise your body and mind. Biohacking isn’t about extreme interventions, it’s about small, intentional changes that create measurable improvements over time.

Optimise your sleep

Good sleep is the foundation of health. Start by:

  • Keeping a consistent bedtime (even on weekends)

  • Limiting blue light exposure before bed

  • Creating a cool, dark, and quiet sleep environment

  • Using magnesium, glycine, or red light therapy for deeper rest

Master your morning routine

The way you start your day sets the tone for energy, focus, and resilience. Try:

  • Morning sunlight exposure to regulate your circadian rhythm

  • A high-protein, low-sugar breakfast for stable energy

  • Cold showers or cold plunges to boost dopamine and metabolism

Track and tweak your nutrition

Food is fuel. Instead of following trends, experiment with what works for your body:

  • Prioritise protein, healthy fats, and whole foods

  • Try time-restricted eating (TRE) or intermittent fasting

  • Reduce processed foods and inflammatory ingredients

Move with purpose

Exercise isn’t just for fitness, it’s a longevity tool:

  • Lift weights for strength and metabolic health

  • Add zone 2 cardio for endurance and fat burning

  • Incorporate mobility work to stay pain-free

Manage stress and enhance recovery

Chronic stress kills performance. Biohack your nervous system with:

  • Breath-work (e.g. box breathing or the physiological sigh)

  • Meditation or mindfulness to lower cortisol

  • Red light therapy, sauna, and cold therapy for deep recovery

Track your progress

Use data to personalise your approach:

  • Wearables like the Ultra Human/Oura Ring or WHOOP to track sleep and recovery

  • A CGM (Continuous Glucose Monitor) to monitor blood sugar

  • HRV (Heart Rate Variability) tracking for stress management

START SMALL, STAY CONSISTENT

Biohacking isn’t about doing everything at once. Pick one or two habits, measure their impact, and build from there. Over time, these small tweaks lead to big transformations.
