S10 EP10: Biohacking Part 1: What IS Biohacking?


Listen Later

Remember all those movies where the kid manages to hack into the mainframe of some forbidden organization? Maybe we didn't exactly understand how typing in all those ones and zeroes did the job but it was exciting right? Well, imagine YOU are the kid and the mainframe is your body! Taking control of your own health and wellness through biohacking is a real thing, and not just a movie plot. People want to take a more active role in their health these days. They want to know what they can do to function at peak performance and maybe even live longer. And experts in biology, genetics, neuroscience, fitness and nutrition, to name a few fields, are answering with ways to enhance our minds and bodies, and in many cases, change our trajectories. 

There are a lot of big claims out there and so many ways to biohack ourselves. To tackle this robust hot topic, today we are talking about what biohacking IS and the potential impacts it could have on your health, fitness and longevity. We want you to know how you can use it in your own life without feeling overwhelmed with the amount of information out there. We want you to make your own informed decisions on what is snake oil and what is a game changer for YOU. Leave today's episode speaking the language and perhaps you will decide to be the captain of your own ship.
