BIOHACKING

Eat better. Exercise better. Think better.
Live better & longer.

The term “biohacking” has become very popular and well-known in recent years. And even if you’re not familiar with the term “biohacking”, there’s a good chance you’ve come across some version of it on the internet.

Perhaps you know Dave Asprey, the godfather of biohacking, who popularized putting butter in your coffee, or Wim Hof, the Iceman, who endures freezing Arctic temperatures with breathing exercises. You may also be familiar with fitness trainer Ben Greenfield, who carries out four-day fasting cures to promote autophagy and mitochondrial health.

We put together the latest research and scientific findings to help you improve your health in everyday life – and live your longest and best life!

Biohacking Guide

Biohacking

What’s behind it all?

Biohacking is commonly referred to as “do-it-yourself” biology. It is about adapting your lifestyle in such a way that it is optimally beneficial for your health. There are countless books and podcasts on the subject. Getting involved with biohacking could be a very good investment of time for your life! Because biohacking has many good tips for a healthy life.

Let’s take sleep as an example – the importance of sleep is scientifically proven. It helps the body to recover and repair itself and replenish important hormones. Quality sleep is associated with a robust immune system and a healthy ageing process. In contrast, poor sleep can lead to various health problems, including a weakened immune system, shorter life expectancy and an increased risk of obesity, type II diabetes and cardiovascular disease. Therefore, optimized sleep should be one of your main goals as a biohacker, alongside a top diet.

Some Biohacking Tips

Clean eating & avoiding nutrient deficiencies

Food is not like medicine, food is medicine, and it is our most important tool to create the vibrant health we deserve.

To turn food and nutrition into medicine, we need to free ourselves from the domination of the food industry, which is doing everything it can to make you like what is bad for you.

The answer to this can only be clean eating – unprocessed food of the best organic or Demeter quality.

Exercise is a basic need of our body.

You should definitely take this into account when biohacking. Especially as sitting is now regarded as the new smoking! Too little exercise is bad for your health. In contrast, exercise and optimal training help you to stay healthier and fitter for longer!

This is because well-trained muscles play a regulating role in several fundamental processes in the body, e.g. in regulating hormone levels and stabilizing blood sugar. It is a primary site of fat burning and plays a role in the metabolism of all macronutrients. This has far-reaching effects on body composition and our basic energy levels.

A key property of muscles is the support they provide to the body – they create stability and allow us to move fluidly in space.

A lesser known property of muscles is that they have an anti-inflammatory effect. Healthy muscles constantly form and release anti-inflammatory compounds that benefit the whole body and keep our immune system functioning.

Because of these properties, muscle is also known as the organ of longevity. Building and maintaining muscle is an often overlooked important starting point for preventing chronic disease and maintaining the ability to perform everyday tasks as we age.

If you want to be more efficient, happier and more productive, you should focus on improving your sleep. Good sleep is a cornerstone of high performance. High quality, restful sleep brings a number of benefits, including:

  • Improves brain function
  • Supports muscle recovery
  • Promotes longevity
  • Balances hormones
  • Protects your heart
  • Fights fat

Here are just a few biohacks to improve your sleep quality:

  • Avoid blue light – emitted in large amounts by electronic devices such as smartphones and computers – before bed. There are several popular ways to reduce your exposure to blue light at night. These include: Wear glasses that block blue light or stop looking at your cell phone, computer or TV, and turn off all bright lights 2 hours before bedtime.
  • Avoid coffee after 3pm – 4pm.
    Pay attention to your sleep hygiene and always try to go to bed and get up at the same time. Consistently keeping to your sleep and wake-up times can improve the quality of your sleep in the long term.
    Let us support you with suitable supplements.
  • Don’t drink alcohol!
    A few drinks at night can have a negative impact on your sleep and hormones. Alcohol is known to cause or exacerbate symptoms of sleep apnea, snoring and disturbed sleep patterns, as well as altering nighttime melatonin production, which plays a key role in the body’s circadian rhythm.
  • Don’t eat too late in the evening
    Eating late in the evening can affect both sleep quality and the natural release of HGH and melatonin.
  • and many more…

Inspired by the possibilities opened up by the groundbreaking research findings in longevity and ageing research, we have set out to be a company whose mission is to help people live their lives to the full for as long as possible.

With innovative and highly individualized treatment concepts, we want to change your relationship to health and aging. We want to inspire you with a new understanding of medicine in which we think less about illness and more about health and a fulfilling life.

>> More about Longevity

The positive effects of mild stress (or hormonal effects) on ageing and longevity have been studied for several years. Mild stress appears to slightly increase longevity, delay behavioral aging and increase resilience to certain stresses.

At the Swiss Center for Health & Longevity, we offer you state-of-the-art technologies and equipment based on this principle, such as the cold chamber/cryotherapy, simulated altitude training IHHT, or hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Our Detox Dome also helps your body to enter hormesis using far infrared radiation – to become stronger, more resilient and more stress-resistant.

For a longer, healthier, better life!

Researchers have recently found remarkable evidence that “calmer” brains are associated with longer life expectancy.

In the study published in Nature, Zullo et al. (2019) and his colleagues conducted a series of experiments with human and animal subjects that showed a direct link between brain arousal and longevity.

Proof that meditation can lead to a longer life has also been provided in other studies. For example, a 2010 study by Tonya Jacobs compared participants in a three-month meditation retreat with a control group. She found that the meditation group had on average 30 percent more telomerase activity than the control group.

Telomerase is an enzyme that protects chromosomes and is linked to the speed of the ageing process. As chromosomes age, the process of cell reproduction reduces the length of telomeres. When these eventually disappear, the cells stop reproducing and death occurs. Although this study has not proven that meditation leads to a longer life, it does suggest that meditation has a protective effect on the ageing process.

So if you still think that meditation is the same as sitting around doing nothing, you’re wrong! With meditation you can work on your longevity!

Some of the most popular biohacks come from longevity researchers. Because biohacking focuses on optimal health throughout the lifespan, many of the associated interventions stem from discoveries made in the field of aging and longevity.

The field of longevity research has exploded in the last 10 to 15 years. This is reflected in the fact that scientists are constantly finding new ways to improve our longevity through various measures such as diet, exercise, lifestyle and supplements.

One example is the well-known gerentologist Valter Longo. Through his research into longevity, the scientist has found that fasting can have a positive effect on lifespan by reducing metabolic markers (e.g. body weight, glucose, inflammation) and potentially protecting DNA from oxidative damage – a key factor in the ageing process.

Since then, intermittent fasting and extended fasting have become a hallmark of biohacking interventions.
