Naive biohacking: why is it dangerous to take vitamins “just in case ” and is it true that hacking the body is the way to nowhere (and not to eternal life)
To live longer (for herself and her family), to avoid cancer and heart disease, biohacking enthusiast (now in the past!) and lifestyle podcaster Teresa Skrobanek conducted an experiment and plunged into the world of a thousand and one supplements for longevity.
Whose infectious example was she inspired by?
What was the danger of taking her medicine for diabetes and vitamin B capsules (it is recommended for everyone to calm down!)?
After what biohacking did Teresa really feel better?
Let ’ s share her story.
Master1305
Biohacking experiment
At the end of 2022, Teresa Skrobanek, a responsible mother and grandmother, decided to try to include “longevity ” supplements in her diet.
The general goal is to live as long as possible (for yourself and your family) and avoid breast cancer and heart disease, the risk of which is higher in women over fifty (and Teresa was 57 at the time).
Anti-age drugs were prescribed by a doctor, but, apparently, the specialist was free to relate to the ratio of anamnesis and goals of taking drugs.
In April 2023, Teresa discovered that the capsules in her medicine cabinet were metformin, which is usually prescribed to patients with type II diabetes.
Although the woman did not suffer from this disease, the doctor prescribed the drug due to the fact that the results of the studies were encouraging (but not guaranteed!) - it helps to fight aging
Teresa has also tried over-the-counter drugs, such as nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) supplements, which supposedly, but not proven, speed up metabolism and reduce signs of growing up.
According to the experimentalist, she followed the example of the brightest biohacker – IT billionaire Brian Johnson, who takes about two dozen supplements a day, uses at least 7 skin creams and annually spends $2 million on unusual procedures to restore youth (for example, bowel photos, blood transfusions, weekly acid peels and laser therapy).
20 supplements a day and no rejuvenation
The more and longer Teresa took the drugs, the more she doubted.
Feeling worse, and Skrobanek plunged headlong into the study of dietary supplements - the results were contradictory.
For example, studies have shown that the widely advertised low-age supplements of nicotinamide riboside (a form of vitamin B3) increase the risk of brain cancer.
And the unpleasant consequences of the use of metformin (remember, Teresa took the medicine for diabetes, not being a diabetic!) were headaches, drowsiness and anxiety.
“I started to have a headache.
I felt very tired, although the pills were supposed to give me strength, ” Skrobanek told The New York Post, with whom she shared her entire story.
How do I know that taking these substances will not harm my kidneys or liver and will not cause cancer in 5-10 years? ”

Errors made by Teresa, which can not be made by biohackers novice
At TikTok, where the hashtag # BioHacking has garnered more than half a billion views, proponents of the biohacking movement boast of swallowing 70 to 150 different rejuvenating dietary supplements every day.
For example, to slow down the aging process, businessman Joe Cohen takes rapamycin, an FDA-approved drug that a 2014 study found could help increase life expectancy.
However, Cohen told The Post that he does not recommend a strict regime to his followers: mindlessly copying from and to the anti-age program of trendsetters is dangerous!
Instead, an experienced biohacker (Joe says he ’ s been studying this phenomenon for 20 years!) encourages newcomers to take blood tests first to determine the body ’ s biological needs and deficiencies, carefully examine the benefits and side effects of any supplements, and take only what seems right.
Cohen clarifies: “By understanding your physiology, you can take certain medications that will boost your energy, mood, and chances of avoiding age-related illnesses.
Preserving health is much more important than simply prolonging existence. ”
According to the businessman, his goal is to live as long and healthy a life as possible (and not necessarily up to 150 years)!
Roman Samborskyi
If not biohacking, then what (spoiler: food)
New York City Nutrition nutritionist Diana Rodriguez agrees with Cohen.
But to start your way to longevity offers still not with tablets, but with a healthy diet: “It is recommended to use food as the first method of preventing dangerous diseases.
Fruits, vegetables, low-fat proteins, nuts and legumes, in which "tons" of vitamins and minerals, can be very useful. "
Increasing nutrient intake through organic whole foods is something Teresa Scrobanek started doing in June 2023, when she gave up the supplement diet once and for all.
And she never felt better:
“If a long life meant that I got it with terrible side effects due to taking supplements, then I would prefer a shorter, but better life, which is based on proper nutrition and training, ” concluded Teresa.
The editors remind that drugs, vitamins, dietary supplements and food products have contraindications.
A specialist consultation is required.

Developing Game-Based Tech To Detect And Intervene Against Stress And Anxiety

By

A high-tech startup that uses game-based interventions to help users identify stress- and anxiety-related events in real time and receive a personalized intervention has been awarded a federal grant to partially develop its technology through research at Purdue University’s College of Engineering.

LifeSpan CEO Jeffrey A. Cary said the company has received a one-year, Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) grant of $255,409 from the National Science Foundation. It will fund research led by Wenzhuo Wu, the Ravi and Eleanor Talwar Rising Star Associate Professor of Industrial Engineering in the School of Industrial Engineering. Other research will be conducted at George Mason University and the Virginia Serious Game Institute.

“The proceeds will prove or disprove the hypothesis that an interactive, game-based mental health intervention that uses autonomic biofeedback training will be an effective mental health and substance abuse intervention,” Cary said. “We also will prove the effectiveness and adoptability of Wu’s heart rate variability-based, or HRV, wearable device.”

Wu said LifeSpan’s intervention technology improves upon traditional methods to identify those in need of mental health services and to deliver those services.

“Current methods for identifying and diagnosing mental disorders are often based on unreliable, retrospective self-reporting that is dependent on high levels of client motivation and insight. Some apps assess stress and sleep issues subjectively, without relying on physiological measurements,” Wu said.

“Further, common modes of clinic- or lab-based mental health assessment and treatment delivery are severely limited in scope and only serve a fraction of those in need. Electrocardiography and photoplethysmography, also known as ECG and PPG, are constrained by cost and energy consumption.”

Wu said video game-like technology has recently been developed to increase users’ interest and engagement in biofeedback and to facilitate the learning of deep breathing techniques, relaxation and emotional self-regulation. Although there is not yet ample empirical evidence demonstrating the efficacy of these new programs, he said it stands to reason that such technology may be useful, partly because children and adolescents are often avid video game users.

“School-age children in the United States spend an average of seven hours a week playing video games; high school and college students average about nine,” Wu said. “Given their prevalence in youth culture, video game-based programs may be enjoyable and motivating media for treatments intended for children and adolescents.

“Video game technology already has successfully been used to aid in the treatment of several childhood illnesses such as asthma, cancer, diabetes and even post-traumatic stress disorder.”

LifeSpan’s technology also will use Wu’s wearable triboelectric device, which harvests operational power from human motion. The device can detect even the slightest degree of skin movement caused by the human pulse. It captures the cardiovascular information encoded in the pulse signals for high-fidelity monitoring.

“By using a combination of actively and passively collected in situ data, our technology platform will allow end users to understand links between emotions, stressors and social interaction, and enable them to make lasting positive improvements to mental and physical health,” Wu said.

LifeSpan’s initial target audience is higher-education students, with a focus on students in transition – high school to the first year of college, undergraduate to graduate school, and graduate school to the workforce – and those in marginalized and underserved communities. Cary said the company’s technology benefits many groups, including students and their parents.

“Students benefit by having a resource available that is not subject to long wait times at their schools’ counseling and psychological services (CAPS) centers,” Cary said. “Parents benefit by seeing their kids graduate; 60 percent of students with mental health issues end up dropping out of school, according to the results of a National Alliance on Mental Health survey.

“Society benefits by developing a future workforce with a higher level of emotional intelligence and emotional self-regulation. CAPS centers benefit by having a supplemental resource that is evidence-based and always available. Health care systems benefit by reducing the number of mental health-related emergency room visits and health care costs by providers.”

Cary said the results of the Phase I research will be an end-to-end proof of concept, three published papers in peer-reviewed journals and a presentation at a major conference in May 2023.

“These results will allow LifeSpan to attract venture capital and strategic industry partnerships, and we will apply for follow-on Phase II and Phase III funding for Wu’s research,” he said.

Cary said prior to the ending timeline of the Phase I grant, LifeSpan must secure outside seed funding to move forward with Phase II activities and pilots with select potential customers.

“In addition, we will engage with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to begin the process of classifying our commercial platform as a prescriptive digital therapeutic, or PDT,” he said.

LifeSpan has an option agreement with the Purdue Research Foundation Office of Technology Commercialization to commercialize Wu’s intellectual property.

The oldest person in the world died at the age of 118.
Why do some people live longer and can you extend your life expectancy?
Factors including genetics, environment, exercise and diet can all contribute to how long we live.

Key points:
• The oldest person in the world is a nun in France.
Her nursing home said she had died at the age of 118.
• She is said to enjoy chocolate and a glass of red wine every day.
• Experts say longevity depends on a combination of genetics, lifestyle and environment.
Sister Andrée, the oldest woman in the world, died Tuesday at the age of 118 years and 340 days in a nursing home.
According to Guinness World Records, although she was infected with the new coronavirus in 2021, she has no symptoms and enjoys chocolate and a glass of red wine every day.
So, is there a simple secret?
Why do some people live longer?
Professor Nicolas Cherbuin, of the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health in Canberra, said the likelihood of living to old age depends on a number of factors.
"About 25% is genetically determined, which means that about 75% is caused by other factors, known as environmental factors, some of which are controlled by society, such as living environment, and more of which are human factors," he said.
"We know that lifestyle has a significant impact on improving health or accelerating ageing, and while we have not identified it, it is clearly linked to dietary habits, physical activity and metabolic factors," he said.
"Other factors are related to mental health, how happy, stressed or depressed we feel, and more external factors such as viral infections, air pollution and similar exposures."
Privileges and socio-economic factors
Professor Cherbuin said it was also important to consider the impact of social and cultural factors on health and ageing, and that affluent people in developed countries may have access to more resources and education to enable them to live a healthy lifestyle.
"Many things are determined by social and economic factors, and we can focus on certain things, such as physical activity or eating good food, which is a personal level and they can choose to do these things," he said.
According to Our World in Data, Chad has the world's lowest life expectancy.

“The reality is that many people have little or no choice, they don ’ t have the resources or the education.
They either don ’ t know how to make choices, or even if they know how to make those choices, they still can ’ t get them.
So this is really a key factor, "he said.
Food and nutrition scientist Emma Beckett said limited funding could also be among other environmental factors affecting health and longevity.
"When people are poor, they have poor eating habits, but they have less access to health care, more manual work and lower housing standards.
"This will require extensive and systematic change," he said.
How can we extend life expectancy?
In recent years, the quest for health and youth has spread online, with a variety of supplements, programs, and even scientists claiming to have cracked the code to extend life.
Many promise to reverse the aging process, extend lifespan and alter key biological features (measurable physical features, such as blood pressure).
Dr. Beckett said many of these approaches are just marketing strategies and suggested focusing on more sustainable approaches, such as eating a healthy balanced diet with lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
“Superfood and bioprinting are marketing creations, not scientific concepts, ” she says.
They are designed to make you pay more and they create problems because they distract people from a cheaper, more sustainable lifestyle. ”
She added that a balanced diet can reduce the chance of developing a variety of diseases such as diabetes or cancer, which can lead to early death.
"We cannot reverse our biological clock and there is no fountain of youth, but a healthy diet can help us live longer by reducing the risk of many different diseases, such as cancer, high blood pressure or type 2 diabetes, which can lead to other complications and early death," she said.
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, Monaco has the highest life expectancy in the world.
Source: SBS
Professor Cherbuin said that a healthy social environment is good for our body and mind.
"There is strong evidence that exercise and good eating habits are important for physical and mental health, and their impact is very large," he said.
A third equally important but often overlooked factor is social. Without a healthy social environment, we cannot live a normal life. ”
Are we too concerned about life?
Experts say that in addition to looking younger and living longer, the pursuit of longevity should include overall health rather than reaching a certain number.
"More important than the life cycle is the healthy lifespan, which means how long you can live healthily, not just how long you can live," Beckett said.
“Having a healthy and balanced diet is not only about preventing or reducing our risk of disease, but also about our body ’ s ability to cope with challenges. ”
Professor Cherbuin agrees.
"If we don't have a good life, there is no point in extending life, and most people now focus on extending life rather than staying healthy while we are alive," he said.
"People usually talk only about biology, that is, living longer in a healthy body, but from a mental or mental health perspective, we don't understand what it means to live longer because people don't live that long."

These Habits Are Draining Your Energy Levels

Below we discuss some common habits that are poorly affecting your health.

Poor sleep quality can worsen your energy levels and poorly affect overall health

Energy levels refer to the amount of physical and mental vigour and vitality a person possesses at any given time. They are determined by various factors, including lifestyle, diet, exercise, sleep, and overall health.

Our daily habits can significantly influence our energy levels. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and stress management can enhance energy levels. These habits promote the efficient functioning of the body, improve circulation, increase oxygen supply, and boost overall metabolism.

Conversely, certain habits can lower energy levels. Certain habits can contribute to diminished energy levels. Additionally, poor hydration, excessive screen time, lack of sunlight exposure, and sedentary behaviour can also result in decreased energy levels. Read on as we discuss some common habits that are poorly affecting your health.

10 Habits are negatively affecting your energy levels:

1. Poor sleep habits

Staying up late and not getting enough sleep can significantly lower our energy levels. Create a consistent sleep schedule and ensure you get 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night.

2. Skipping meals

Skipping meals, especially breakfast, can lead to a drop in blood sugar levels and cause fatigue. Make it a priority to have balanced meals throughout the day to maintain steady energy levels.

3. Sedentary lifestyle

Sitting for prolonged periods can make us feel tired and lethargic. Incorporate regular physical activity and take breaks from sitting at work to boost energy levels.

4. Excessive caffeine consumption

While caffeine can provide a temporary energy boost, relying on it excessively can lead to dependency and cause energy crashes. Limit your caffeine intake and instead opt for natural energy boosters like water, herbal tea, and fresh fruits.

5. Dehydration

Not drinking enough water can lead to dehydration, which can cause fatigue and lack of energy. Stay properly hydrated by drinking water throughout the day.

6. Lack of sunlight

Insufficient exposure to natural light can disrupt our circadian rhythm and negatively impact energy levels. Get outside for a walk or open windows to let natural light in to regulate your sleep-wake cycle.

7. High sugar diets

Consuming foods high in added sugars can cause a spike in blood sugar levels, leading to energy crashes. Opt for a balanced diet with whole foods and limit sugar intake to stabilise energy levels.

8. Stressful lifestyle

Chronic stress can drain our energy and negatively affect overall health. Incorporate stress management techniques like meditation, deep breathing exercises, or engaging in hobbies to reduce stress levels.

9. Lack of social interaction

Isolation and lack of social connection can contribute to low energy levels. Make an effort to spend time with loved ones, participate in social activities, or join a club or group to maintain a positive social life.

10. Poor time management

Overloading our schedules and not prioritising self-care can lead to constant exhaustion. Practice effective time management techniques, set realistic goals, and allocate time for relaxation and self-care activities to maintain high energy levels.

By adopting healthier habits and eliminating or reducing detrimental ones, individuals can often elevate their energy levels and improve their overall well-being. It is important to note that individual responses may vary, and underlying medical conditions can also impact energy levels. Consulting a healthcare professional is recommended for personalised advice.

It’s called “biohacking” and comes from Silicon Valley.

A relatively new word that comes from the union of “biology” and “hacker” and indicates the attempt to positively influence the functioning of the organism, by hacking, ie trying to “force”, one’s genetic heritage. A strategy to live better and longer launched years ago by Californian top managers and which then spread throughout the world. How to upgrade the “operating system” of the human body? No manipulation, here we are talking about “reprogramming” and new lifestyles. “Our genetic heritage has enormous unexpressed potential that can be activated,” he explains Fabio Piccinidoctor and psychoanalyst, researcher of Food Sciences of theMarche Polytechnic University, author of the book “Biohacking Techniques: how to optimize metabolism to increase health and longevity”. “Biohacking aims to activate epigenetic modifications by awakening dormant genes to enhance the body’s resources.” While genetics studies the structure of DNA, epigenetics the way genes express themselves, i.e. how much they are turned on or off. “We’re talking about a set of strategies that aim to strengthen the body from a physical and mental point of view, first of all through nutrition, sleep quality, physical activity, cognitive stimulation”. One of the pillars of biohacking and the intermittent fasting, Piccini adds, which plans to concentrate the diet in a precise time span of the day (to be followed always under medical supervision). «But it is equally important to take care of sleep, we know very well that sleep debt accelerates aging and that 30-40 percent of people sleep too little. Just as it is essential to check thehydration. Physical training must also be intermittent, with recovery periods in place to allow the muscle layers to rebuild. And then, you have to keep learning something at any age, another pillar of biohacking: studying music or a new language, for example, to counteract cognitive degeneration”.

THE QUALITY OF LIFE

Sandra Milo is one of the supporters of this well-being and longevity strategy. «I’m lucky, at 90 I’m in full health and I still have a great desire to enjoy life. I don’t know if it’s a matter of genetics, nor do I think there is a “magic formula” of longevity, but I have certainly always been careful to lead a healthy life. There is nothing more beautiful than reaching old age with a smile and in full autonomy », says the actress who baptized the first Biohacking Suite in Rome. “Our mission is not so much to lengthen life but to improve its quality by lowering the rate of morbidity,” explains Dr. Claudio Urbani, specialist in regenerative medicine, neuroscience and stress therapy, head of the longevity center Umb. «Biohacking aims to modify dormant functional responses from non-use, from muscular or cardiovascular function to flexibility. It is about regaining possession of the body and the mind-body axis, starting with stress management». Diagnosing your own state of “aging” involves a series of tests. «The measurement of oxidative stress which measures the quantity of free radicals and indicates any inflammatory states, plethysmography to evaluate the functionality of the microcirculation of the legs, impedancemetry to study body composition, fat and lean mass, nutritional status and hydration level. And only after the check is a tailor-made program created for each person. Among the suggested therapies, there is also that of the cold which stimulates the metabolism and reduces inflammation ».

Biohacking is being explored for its potential to improve human health and overcome physical limits, which is in line with the brother's extreme lifestyle changes.

Biohacking involves using various strategies such as nutrition, sleep quality, physical activity, and cognitive stimulation to activate epigenetic modifications and enhance the body's resources, with the goal of improving human health and overcoming physical limits.

Biohacking is a strategy aimed at improving human health and overcoming physical limits by modifying dormant functional responses and regaining possession of the body and mind-body axis, with the goal of improving the quality of life and lowering the rate of morbidity.

Biohacking aims to optimize health and promote longevity through lifestyle tweaks and everyday habits, with potential benefits including improving human health and overcoming physical limits.

Take a quick search for “biohacker” on TikTok (a tag with over 137 million views), and you’ll discover a slew of men discussing their muscle gains, testosterone levels, and cold plunge routines. You’ll see some women on the page, but the space is undoubtedly dominated by male energy. And think of the outspoken biohackers you may listen to on podcasts—chances are most of them are men, too.

This gendered approach to biohacking, while pervasive, is simply misguided. But now, women are asserting their authority in health optimization, and we expect their emphasis to soar in the year ahead.

Why biohacking isn’t just for “bros”

“Women are the original biohackers,” declares family physician, Molly Maloof, M.D. “Our hormones change throughout our lives, and this requires us to adapt accordingly.” Our biology means that women often need to constantly edit their health routines and experiment with lifestyle habits as time goes on. Isn’t that the very definition of biohacking?

Let's back up: Here at mindbodygreen, we think of “biohacking” as the practice of making lifestyle tweaks to optimize health and promote longevity. Not shortcuts—contrary to popular belief—but low-lift, everyday habits that complement and enhance an existing well-being routine. Think: optimizing your exercise regimen using tools and techniques (the “biohacks”) to enhance muscle growth. It’s essentially all about advancing health with “do it yourself” biology—a topic that can pique anyone’s interest, regardless of gender.

“[Women] have a most complex physiological lifecycle that requires us to track and manage fertility, pregnancy, breastfeeding, sexuality, perimenopause, and menopause. So we should be looking at biohacking as a path to even greater health and owning the opportunity to improve our lives,” says Maloof.

Yet many women feel intimidated to enter the biohacking scene as it exists today, turned off by the male-dominated energy in the room.

Women are the original biohackers

Molly Maloof, M.D

“Biohacking has always grabbed my attention, and I want to learn, but it sometimes makes me really stressed out, because I go into this state of perfectionism where I have to do all the things,” says doctor of pharmacy and wellness practitioner Mona Vand, PharmD. “The few biohackers that I followed were all males… it just doesn't really resonate with my energy.”

This male energy is not only frustrating but can potentially harm women’s health in the long run. After all, building muscle, prioritizing protein, and keeping an eye on various health metrics are crucial for longevity—in some cases, these proactive measures can save lives. When women don’t get involved, it can totally impact their well-being.

“Physical strength is nonnegotiable,” says functional medicine doctor Gabrielle Lyon, D.O. “I've been a physician since 2006, and I've never heard someone say, ‘I regret being physically strong.’” And the muscle-building space impacts more than just physiological changes, she says. “You optimize fertility, you make healthier babies, you help the epigenetics of your child,” Lyon adds. “You age better, your skin is better, you're less likely to fall and break a hip… There's nothing that doesn't get better the stronger you are.”

So let’s be clear: Dismantling the biohacking boy’s club is not just about helping women feel included; there are real health implications at stake here.

Why the biohacker space actually really needs a dose of feminine energy

I’d be remiss not to mention how biohacking culture can easily become synonymous with hustle culture (some experts don’t even like to use the term, as it implies you can achieve optimal health with quick fixes). But as more women enter the biohacking space, we expect it to become more intuitive and less about hitting every single benchmark. From there, we predict women will focus more on sustainable changes long-term instead of a gazillion quick hacks.

“I used to think it was a flex to do a million things at the same time and habit stack,” Vand recounts. “I now carve out time for doing things that have no efficiency to them, that are strictly for joy or rest and relaxation, versus benefiting my longevity or health. It can be a little bit obsessive when you get into this thought pattern, and I just don't resonate with it.”

This doesn’t mean biohacking will become “softer” as it embraces feminine energy. But there’s an opportunity here for women to introduce some much-needed flexibility into a space that has long felt needlessly rigid.

How the biohacker game is changing — and where it’s headed next

Thanks to a growing awareness that healthcare protocols should not be gendered, more women are now starting to pay attention to markers of performance like lean muscle, hormetic stressors, VO2 max, HRV, zone 2 training, etc. “Cold plunging, saunas, and harder, more physical activities are not just for the boys anymore,” adds Lyon—and we expect an even bigger shift to come in 2024.

“I think it’s super exciting to see biohacking become more mainstream and more women joining the conversation,” adds Maloof. She praises apps like Wild.AI, for women who aim to make lifestyle adjustments based on their menstrual cycle, and Zero, for women who want to dabble in time-restricted eating, both of which have helped to herald the shift.

Other existing health optimization companies are now inviting women into the conversation by introducing specific features informed by their unique physiology. WHOOP, for example, is currently working on upgrades to their popular health-tracking band: “We did a study recently where we learned a lot about how a woman's body changes during pregnancy and how her heart rate variability (HRV) will evolve. It'll decrease, and then about seven weeks before she gives birth, it will increase sharply,” explains Will Ahmed, WHOOP founder and CEO, on the mindbodygreen podcast

If a woman didn’t know that this was supposed to happen, she might look at this stark increase with a critical (or anxious) eye. “We've been able to take population-level data on pregnant women and now have a feature in the app, where a woman can see how her body is evolving alongside what other pregnant women are experiencing,” he adds.

Similarly, creatine supplements—from the ingredients to the packaging—are no longer marketed toward dudes looking to bulk up, and we are certainly here for it. After all, muscle mass is a predictor of longevity and healthspan, so supplements that promote it can help all of us “hack” our health in a big way.

And as Lyon notes, women have lower endogenous creatine stores compared to men (meaning, they have less available). And the amino acid has been associated with significantly increased muscle mass1 in both men and women, without increasing the risk of adverse outcomes2, like weight gain. “Most of the women in my practice will go on creatine, and they find anecdotally that it really improves both anaerobic and aerobic exercise performance,” Lyon shares.

Not to mention the supplement’s brain health perks: Taking creatine has been shown to benefit both working memory and processing speed3 as well as cognitive longevity4. “It is above and beyond simply sport performance,” adds Lyon, who has certainly seen an uptick in women curious about creatine.

As women feel intimidated (or even restricted) by biohacking spaces, some experts have taken it upon themselves to create new ones that center the feminine. For example, neuropsychophysiologist Kayla Osterhoff, MPH, offers a Women's Biohacking Mini Course, consisting of lifestyle routines and tips aligned with female physiology.

Osterhoff also recently presented at the 2023 Dragonfly Live Conference—among other female biohackers—to discuss the latest advancements in women's well-being and the “health revolution” that’s sweeping the mainstream. This conference aims to gather the “who's-who” in the health space to discuss cutting-edge strategies and innovations that optimize well-being—by having women biohackers at the forefront of the conversation, we can expect them to hit the main stage in a broader sense.

Or take the brand new Evie Ring, the first medical-grade health wearable designed for women, created by medical device company Movano Health. The technology ties hormonal information to a woman’s sleep, activity, and heart health data (among other metrics).

For instance, “If we notice a more restless night of sleep in the luteal phase, we'll point it out and also give some strategies for how somebody may attack their day, despite having not gotten as good of a night of sleep,” says Stacy Salvi, vice president of product and strategy at Movano Health. Similarly, “We know that there are cardiovascular implications when your estrogen drops, so they would want to keep a better look on the function of their heart,” she adds. “This would be something that they would be able to do from our app.”

Even the design itself was made with women in mind: The ring features an open band meant to accommodate how women’s fingers change in size throughout the day, so it can stay comfortable.

To avoid needless stress, Evie also limits the amount of goals you can set on the app. “You can only set three at a time, because we do not want to overwhelm [users] with a bunch of different things,” says Salvi. “I mean, I'm an overachiever. I probably would set every single goal and then fail at them.” And heaven knows we don’t need yet another way for busy, overwhelmed women to feel like they’re failing in a society with unsurmountable standards.

Forecasting the future

A woman walks up to the weight rack in 2024. She sees the usual suspects—bros pounding protein shakes and grunting through their bicep curls—but now she also sees a fair amount of women on the scene. They’ve got creatine supplements! Fitness trackers! Kettlebells! (And no, they aren’t pink.)

Granted, we still have a ways to go before women feel totally embraced by the biohacking space (we’d first have to close the centuries-long gender gap in science and medicine), but it’s clear that the arena is becoming way less of a boy’s club. “And the world is ready, my friend,” says Lyon. “The world is absolutely ready for this.”

'It saved my life,' ADHD, trauma, OCD patients turn to neurofeedback therapy

Posted at 8:18 AM, Apr 05, 2024
and last updated 2024-04-05 08:18:12-04

CUYAHOGA FALLS, Ohio — Cracking the code to wellness is now costing Americans $1.8 trillion annually.

For the average American, that breaks down to more than $5,300 per year.

Those numbers come from the Global Wellness Summit's 2024 trends report.

The report also shows that the global wellness economy, which generated $5.6 trillion in 2022, will continue to surge and reach $8.5 trillion within the next three years.

A driver of those staggering stats is ‘biohacking,’ which is the term for do-it-yourself biology.

It has generated 951 million views on TikTok and over on Google, there's been a 900% increase in searches for ‘biohacking.’

"The way that i like to describe it is using what we know about biology to help us become better versions of ourselves," said Britney Cirillo with Alternative Therapeutics.

‘Biohacking’ can be anything from using a smartwatch to track our heart rate to jumping in an ice bath and neuro-feedback therapy.

The idea behind neuro-feedback therapy is that we can essentially re-train our brain to tackle mental health issues like depression, anxiety, trauma, and OCD, which Emily Dean suffered from for about a decade.

"Was pretty afraid to even leave my house alone. At my worst, I was unable to care for my physical health," said Dean.

Dean ultimately needed to check into the hospital as her mental health declined.

After being discharged, she discovered neurofeedback therapy.

"It completely changed my life," said Dean.

Dean said the sessions at Alternative Therapeutics in Cuyahoga Falls provided relief that medications and traditional therapies could not.

"We're not your average counseling practice," said Cirillo.

Cirillo uses neurofeedback therapy to balance electrical activity in a patient's brain, regulating delta, theta, alpha, and beta levels.

"If any of those brainwaves are being overproduced or underproduced, that will correlate with symptoms that the client is experiencing," said Cirillo.

The goal is to essentially retrain the brain using operant conditioning, a learning process in which voluntary behaviors are rewarded.

"We tell the brain to do a certain thing when it does that certain thing, they're rewarded instantly by that video game that they're playing," Cirillo.

I was so interested in how it works that Cirillo gave me a taste of a typical session.

My goal was to keep the flames of a fire burning bright and the sound of the crackling strong while playing a game on a tablet.

Cirillo was checking to make sure my brain was in an ideal zone.

I only sat there with the tablet for a short time, but a typical therapy session lasts about 20 minutes.

"And so, with more and more practice, the brain starts to recognize what it's supposed to do and it reinforces that pathway, strengthens it to the point that that's their new normal," said Cirillo.

Despite gaining popularity during this ‘biohacking craze,’ neurofeedback therapy is still considered experimental.

"I think it's an interesting phenomenon," said Dr. Robert Lufkin with the USC School of Medicine.

Lufkin said regulating the brain could give people better outcomes when it comes to their mental health.

"I think in my opinion, this can have beneficial effects on an individual," said Lufkin.

Lufkin said regardless of what form of ‘biohacking’ people choose, it's shifting the balance of the doctor-patient relationship.

"It's certainly exploding in recent years, and I think it reflects the fact that all of us as, as patients are taking control of our own health," said Lufkin.

Dean is beyond grateful she gained control.

"Neurofeedback therapy and Alternative Therapeutics saved my life," said Dean.

After completing 20 sessions five years ago, Dean has been able to maintain her progress with a few booster sessions, along with some tools to help her navigate the world.

A world that, for years, Dean navigated with crippling fear.

"Before neurofeedback I was afraid to go to the grocery store alone. Last year, I went to California alone. That is something that I never thought would be possible for me," said Dean.

With insurance companies still considering neurofeedback therapy experimental it is not covered.

However, Cirillo said many of her clients have success when they submit for out of network reimbursement.

On average, people will need about 20 sessions to get the end results they're looking for.

Neurofeedback therapy is a biohacking method used to improve mental health by regulating the brain, and although it's still considered experimental, it may have beneficial effects on individuals.

Neurofeedback therapy is a biohacking method used to improve mental health, as evidenced by Dean's personal experience of overcoming crippling fear and achieving significant progress after completing 20 sessions.

A key focus of biohacking is to improve the quality of life by lowering the morbidity rate, as stated by Dr. Claudio Urbani.

Promoting good health and holistic protection for overall well-being

Good health is essential for living a fulfilling and satisfying life. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is “a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

Prioritizing health and well-being has far-reaching positive effects that extend beyond individual lives. In fact, Investing in health not only benefits individuals but also has significant economic benefits. In a report, McKinsey & Company mentioned that improving global health could boost global gross domestic product (GDP) by $12 trillion by 2040.

Retchel Go, an international alternative medicine practitioner and director of Cocolife, said that maintaining good health and preventing diseases requires a holistic approach.

“Regular exercise strengthens the body, improves cardiovascular health, and enhances mood. Balanced nutrition, like quality water, fruits, vegetables, carbohydrates, protein, sugar, etc., supplemented with functional food supplements, provides essential nutrients for bodily functions and supports overall well-being,” Mr. Go said. “Sufficient sleep allows for proper rest and rejuvenation, vital for cognitive function and immune health. Effective stress management techniques, such as mindfulness or relaxation exercises, mitigate the harmful effects of chronic stress on physical and mental health.”

Mr. Go also emphasized the importance of avoiding harmful habits like smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, as these practices protect against various diseases, ensuring longevity and vitality.

One of the foundational elements that the Cocolife director highlights is health awareness. He advocates for widespread information drives and interactive discussions focused on health and well-being.

“By empowering individuals with knowledge and resources, we can create a culture of proactive health management and significantly reduce the burden of preventable diseases,” Mr. Go said.

In addition, regular health screenings and check-ups said that these evaluations are important to identify potential health issues before they become serious, allowing for timely interventions.

He added, “As I often emphasize, individuals are the doctors of themselves, entrusted with the freedom to prioritize their well-being. Through regular screenings and preventive health care, individuals can make informed decisions about their lifestyle and health, promoting longevity and vitality.”

Likewise, medical insurance plays a crucial role in disease prevention and wellness promotion, according to Edward Robin Gonzales, chief agency officer at Cocolife.

“Through various medical insurance products in the market, people are made aware of the benefits it can provide,” Mr. Gonzales explained.

Furthermore, health insurance plans often include provisions for preventive care services. These services may range from routine health screenings to vaccinations and wellness programs.

“Products are designed to protect a person’s health and prevent the root causes of illnesses,” the Cocolife executive asserted.

One of the significant challenges people face in accessing healthcare is the escalating cost of medical services, including doctor’s fees, hospitalizations, and medications. Moreover, according to Mr. Gonzales, misconceptions about health insurance often deter individuals from exploring preventive care options. Many believe that insurance plans are rigid and expensive, covering only a limited set of conditions.

Cocolife recognizes this barrier and addresses it by continuously developing affordable medical insurance products. Specifically, the Cocolife ARUGA plan challenges these misconceptions by offering customizable options that fit various budgets.

Cocolife ARUGA plan is a life and health insurance plan that is specifically designed to safeguard individuals and families from the uncertainties of health challenges. The plan offers more comprehensive health coverage compared to traditional insurance plans. It goes beyond the usual lists of specific illnesses by providing results-oriented coverage for a wide range of health conditions. This means individuals can have peace of mind knowing they are protected against various health issues, offering comprehensive coverage that goes beyond what is expected.

“For only P147 a day, ARUGA can provide a medical insurance benefit of up to P1,000,000 for major health issues like confinement in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), advanced cognitive impairment, permanent need for a wheelchair, permanent loss of use of two limbs, sight, hearing, and speech. It also provides up to P200,000 coverage upon diagnosis of early-stage critical illness,” he explained.

In addition, the insurance plan is the guaranteed cash benefit, which is equivalent to 100% of the plan’s face amount in the event of life impact, major loss, or specific illness conditions.

In the event of the policyholder’s passing, Cocolife ARUGA gives a death benefit that provides life insurance protection equal to the plan’s face amount, ensuring the financial security of beneficiaries during unforeseen circumstances, thus lessening the burden on loved ones during difficult times.

The ARUGA plan also offers a ‘return of premium’ where the policyholder will receive 100% of the total basic premiums paid if they outlive the policy, as long as no major health condition benefit has been paid.

Mr. Gonzales stressed the importance of consulting with a financial advisor to tailor insurance products based on specific needs and affordability. By enlisting the expertise of financial advisors, individuals can gain clarity on product features and understand how they stand to benefit from them.

“I would strongly suggest individuals consult a financial advisor to provide clients sound decisions on what products to buy based on needs and affordability. They can guide clients through the product features and how clients will benefit from it,” said Mr. Gonzales.

Cocolife, the biggest Filipino-owned stock life insurance company and the first ISO-certified Filipino insurance company, has a rich history of providing comprehensive insurance products and services to the people.

“With our enhanced product development efforts, we [have been aiming] to launch more products and services that are responsive to the changing landscape and consumer needs,” said Cocolife President and CEO Atty. Jose Martin A. Loon.

Senior geriatrics specialist in Russia talks about a drug that "resists aging"

Follow us via
The chief geriatrics specialist in Russia revealed the most prominent ways to influence the aging process and drugs and vital technologies to help cope with it, confirming the existence of several natural ways to prolong life.
The expert in Russian geriatrics, Olga Takashovaya, during an interview with the platform "Russia Scientific" that physical activity is one of the most important inventions to prolong life and healthy, as it contributes a protein called myostatin, which prevents the proliferation of muscle cells and contributes to the non-death of human muscles, which will keep the person young and active for a longer time, pointing out that age-related muscular tissue atrophy occurs more slowly if exercise...
The expert explained that the second way to affect age and face aging is through nutrition, where it is known that centenarians never overeat, and there are special diets and foods that slow down the aging process.
In particular, there are ways to stimulate autophagy and purge cells, such as intermittent fasting.
She added that often, what we eat not only provides energy, but also clogs the body, as the body cannot cope with the amount of products that must be processed and removed.

Study Identifies Products That Prevent Brain Aging
The third method is cognitive activity, whenever a person is educated for the rest of his life.
That is why there are so many scientists who have lived for so long and people often wonder: "Why are there so many centenarians in the Academy of Sciences?", the truth is that they constantly analyze new information, give lectures and write articles, they are always intellectually active and maintain speed of decision making, attention and memory.
“Brain aging is perhaps the main topic in the issue of aging in general, because the brain is the conductor of all organs and organs.
In addition, today there are various drugs, for example for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, which have an additional preventive effect, that is, they affect one of the 14 known mechanisms of aging. "
The expert pointed out that the list of tools to protect against aging includes possible molecules that can affect the aging process, about 300 elements.
But so far there is no single drug whose instructions state that it "signals a slowing of the aging process," adding that such research is already underway in different directions, including the stage of clinical trials.
But there are no specific drugs to slow the aging process yet.
