Health, Fitness, Performance

Here’s How I See and Practice Biohacking in My Life.

As a sensible biohacker, I experiment with caution.

Biohacking has a connotation and is misunderstood.

My perspectives on biohacking are different than typical approaches. I only focus on lifestyle approaches. I learn from sensible biohacking communities comprising scientists and educated people. I enjoy experimenting sensibly.

Here is an article explaining how I see biohacking.

Biohacking may sound like madness to some, but I have my reasons for using the method. I approach biohacking naturally and sensibly, not with medication or emerging tools.

I conduct all experiments after reviewing the breakthroughs via literature reviews such as PubMed. I first understand the mechanism, learn about its implications, and search for testimonials from biohacking communities.

This triangulation worked well for my progress for over a decade. Once I am satisfied with my findings, I conduct the tests in small steps, with one trial at a time. I closely monitor and record the progress.

The purpose of this story is to provide easy access to my articles on my health and fitness transformation for sustained happiness and performance.

These articles are hosted on Euphoria, which is my personal collection on Medium.

Out of hundreds of experiments, in this story, I selected a few stories reflecting my experiences in detail. The combination of these ten bio-hacks made a substantial positive impact on my health, happiness, and performance.

To make it easy for my readers, I provided a brief explanation of story types with an access link. The main focus of this story is physical health.

Autophagy is one of the sensible biohacking approaches for me. It is based on scientific facts inspiring me to experiment.

I plan to share another collection of my mental health bio-hacks.

Physical Health Transformation

1 — Diet and Nutrition

We are what we eat and how we eat.

Diet and nutrition play critical roles in maintaining our health and improving our performance.

In these stories, I share my experience with intermittent fasting implemented as one meal a day. I experienced many noticeable benefits from this lifestyle.

This regime helped me reduce my body fat, and improve my lean muscle mass, mental sharpness, and blood markers, e.g., stable glucose, reduced inflammation, and an optimal level of insulin, cortisol, testosterone, and growth hormone.

2 — Improving Sleep Quality

Sleep is critical for health and happiness.

I learned the importance of sleep when I was very young and adopted the conventional wisdom of going to bed early and rising early.

My aim has always been to get at least eight hours of sleep. However, I still suffered.

In this article, I share my experience on how I improved my sleeping problems caused by my active mind, work stress, metabolic activities, and environmental factors.

3— Fitness Enhancement

Fitness is a topic close to my heart.

I believe that a strong mind requires a healthy body. One way of improving health is regular and smart exercises.

The purpose of this story is to share my experience with a practical fitness regime in my transformation program.

I introduce three joyful activities to make us happier, stronger, and healthier.

After reading this article, you may cancel your gym membership, sleep extra few hours in the morning or work on a business plan, and become a lifetime exercise lover.

4 — Stress Management

Stress management is a critical factor in improving health.

Focus on stress management provided many benefits to me, but the key point was improving my immunity using natural approaches.

In this story, I share my experience improving my immunity, muscle health, and stress reduction.

Discovering the use of Epsom salts to use in my baths made a positive difference in my physical sensations.

Epsom salts helped relax my muscles, especially after a workout or a stressful situation.

5 — Body Fat and Lean Muscle

Cold exposure is a regime that I use to improve my health conditions.

In this story, I share my experience in improving my energy, strengthening my immune system, and keeping healthy body fat.

By using this simple lifestyle hack, I gained energetic alertness, improved mood, increased courage, improved immunity, reduced risk of depression, improved sleep, enhanced tolerance, fast recovery, reduced pain, reduced body fat, and even increased lean muscle.

All benefits were by a natural hack based on a challenging habit.

6 — Disease Prevention and Longevity

Similar to cold, heat exposure can also be used to improve health conditions.

In this story, I share my experience with a dry sauna supported by science.

It is a fact that the heat in a dry sauna induces quickly noticeable physiological effects in our bodies. More specifically, the heat can increase skin and core body temperature quickly. This quick increase in body temperature can also increase heart rate and skin blood flow and cause perspiration rapidly.

This simple yet powerful physical phenomenon can have tremendous health benefits.

Research on longevity gene expression inspired me to start this bio-hack. It has been an excellent addition to my transformation program.

7 — Mitochondrial (cellular) Health

Energy is essential for productivity and satisfying life.

In this article, I highlight the importance of mitochondrial health for leaders.

The reasons for this awareness and actions for leaders are the energy we need to thrive and perform, rise above mediocrity and perform sustainably.

When our mitochondria are damaged or malfunctioning, our overall energy levels and daily performance drop dramatically. We start feeling sluggish, tired, and lazy. Low energy can be noticeable mentally, emotionally, and physically.

I point out and highlight 20 key considerations to improve our mitochondrial health aiming to increase our energy.

8 — Epigenetics Awareness

Genetics has been an important interest for me.

I am passionate about this topic because I learned that our lives are not necessarily prone to genetic predisposition.

When I discovered epigenetics, my outlook on life situations transformed into a more optimistic and joyful state.

We are not slaves of our genes anymore.

Trying DNA tests, I applied my knowledge of epigenetics to improve my health conditions and take the necessary measures to sustain my good health.

9 — Autopathy — Self Healing

One of my trending articles on physical health is related to a science topic. I am pleased that this article is indexed by search engines and used by many readers who want to learn more about this topic.

Through my studies, I learned that there were practical and simple ways to get rid of loose skin; however, these simple solutions were not necessarily easy.

The solutions required lifestyle changes, persistence, and commitment.

In this article, I explain how autopathy could help us eliminate loose skin after substantial weight loss.

The article guides initiating autopathy with natural lifestyle choices.

Loose skin is only one use case. There are many other health benefits of autophagy beyond the scope of this article.

10 — Dealing with Toxins

Charcoal is a miraculous ingredient in my diet and a powerful tool in my biohacking toolbox.

This miraculous element improved my digestion, increased my energy, made my skin clearer, made my teeth shinier, and activated my health.

I explain what it is, why I needed it, and how I used it.

I came across this element when I was reviewing PubMed for the implications of heavy metals on the brain. I bumped into fascinating articles about its use for digestion discomfort in a serendipitous way.

Since then, I have used this element as a lifesaver.

Conclusions

In this story, I shared ten types of natural biohacks for my health and fitness transformation. Each piece of natural bio-hack provided proven benefits.

However, the most important outcome was a combination of all, which made a tremendous impact on my health, happiness, and performance.

I am interested to know about biohacks successfully used by my readers. Thank you for reading my perspectives.

I wish you a healthy, joyful, and satisfying life.
