• Biohacking can be a powerful tool for improving health and wellness, especially for those with chronic illnesses or undiagnosed conditions.
• Personalised health is crucial, as everyone's biology and needs are unique. Understanding your own body and experimenting with different biohacks can lead to better outcomes.
• The state of health and wellness in Australia (and globally) is concerning, with rising rates of obesity, chronic diseases, and mental health issues. More needs to be done to educate and support people in achieving optimal health.
• Access to healthcare and affordable, nutritious food is a major issue, with big food companies often prioritising profits over public health.
• Simple biohacks like hydration, fasting, sauna, cold showers, and supplements like NMN and magnesium can have a significant impact on overall health and well-being.
• Women's health and hormones play a crucial role in biohacking, and there is a need for more research and education in this area.
• Biohacking should not be extreme or obsessive, but rather a balanced approach to optimising health and longevity.
• The future of medicine lies in personalised medicine and precision health, where treatments and interventions are tailored to individual needs and genetics. Quality supplements are important, and it's crucial to do blood work to understand one's deficiencies before taking supplements.
• Some biohacks may have potential risks, so it's important to research and consult with professionals before trying them.
• Nutrition plays a significant role in overall health, and it's important to focus on eating real, quality food.
