Australians have turned to ‘biohacking’ after millionaire Bryan Johnson shared his impeccable results in terms of anti-aging, fitness and general health.
Although Johnson, 46, famously has a $2 million-a-year anti-aging regimen, similar results can be achieved by making a few small changes.
What is ‘biohacking’?
Biohacking is also sometimes known as human augmentation, human enhancement, or do-it-yourself biology. Its goal is to improve overall physical health and optimize performance outside the realm of traditional medicine.
The underlying philosophy is a refusal to accept the physical limitations and defects of the body while attempting to use the latest knowledge of exercise, physiology and nutrition to optimize health.
Australians have turned to ‘biohacking’ after millionaire Bryan Johnson shared his impeccable results in terms of anti-aging, fitness and general health.
Fitness experts in Set for set shared ten ways you can ‘biohack’ your way to a longer, healthier life.
1) Immerse yourself in ice water
The scientists recommended that people immerse themselves in cold water (between 10°C and 15°C) for 11 minutes each week.
Australians have become enthusiastic about cold therapy and ice baths; Dutch motivational speaker Wim Hof revealed the infinite benefits of this practice.
Wim Hof’s nickname, “Ice Man,” is certainly appropriate, as the 63-year-old holds 21 Guinness World Records for “superhuman” acts in extreme cold.
He previously told FEMAIL that being exposed to the cold can help with depression, anxiety, energy levels and can even prevent diseases such as cancer.
‘What you will see is that your heart rate drops during the day, reducing your stress levels. You feel more energetic. Improved blood flow provides better nutrition to cells. You find that you don’t get sick anymore,’ Wim said.

2) Optimize your sleep schedule
It is recommended to sleep seven to nine hours each night and maintain a good circadian rhythm.
You should try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends.
A reliable routine and time outdoors in daylight in the morning help regulate your body’s internal clock.
Getting enough sleep stimulates muscle growth and repair, helps keep the brain alert, improves blood sugar levels, and prolongs life expectancy.
3) Enjoy regular saunas
Saunas have several benefits for cardiovascular health because the high temperature helps the body cool by increasing heart rate and blood flow, which lowers blood pressure.
The experts at Set for Set recommend three 30-minute sauna sessions per week at 80°C-90°C.

4) Drink water with a teaspoon of Himalayan salt.
Himalayan salt is rich in minerals and contains a large amount of electrolytes, which help transport nutrients to cells.
While your body produces electrolytes naturally and absorbs them from food, the boost that a teaspoon of salt in a liter of water provides will improve your metabolism and give you a burst of energy.
It also helps detoxify your body by supporting kidney and liver functions.
5) Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) for Men
Some doctors recommend that men take TRT medications if their testosterone levels begin to decline in their 40s.
The experts at Set for Set revealed that a healthy level of testosterone improves energy levels, increases bone density, muscle mass, insulin sensitivity, and generally improves mood.
A professional can monitor testosterone levels, with the typical range being 300 to 1000 ng/dL.
Always speak to your personal primary care physician before making any medical decisions.
6) Try intermittent fasting
Intermittent fasting allows you to restore your bodily functions by decreasing insulin in the blood, increasing human growth hormone, and promoting cell repair.
This helps you burn fat and gain muscle faster, which is scientifically proven to benefit your heart.
If you’re trying intermittent fasting for the first time, try 14:10 or 12:12 ratios because they’re the least restrictive: You can fast for 14 hours and eat for ten, or fast for 12 hours and eat for 12.
Coffee can prevent heart failure by making the heart pump blood faster
7) Turn your morning coffee into a biohack
A Harvard Health study found that low to moderate doses of caffeine (50-300 mg) can increase alertness, energy, and the ability to concentrate.
Coffee can also prevent heart failure by making the heart pump blood faster.
It is important to regulate your caffeine intake, because higher doses can have negative effects such as anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, and increased heart rate.
Experts say that it is healthy to drink a maximum of 2.5 cups of coffee a day as long as it does not exceed 300 mg of caffeine.
8) Get blood tests every year.
Regularly monitoring your body can detect illness or disease early, increasing your chances of treatment and recovery.
Blood tests indicate levels of glucose, calcium, cholesterol, and electrolytes, which may indicate signs of heart disease, diabetes, and organ failure.
Doctors recommend having a complete blood test every year.

9) Learn to breathe correctly
‘Breathing’ is the practice of training your body to control your breathing and use it to calm yourself when you are stressed.
Rapid, shallow breathing during times of anger or stress can put additional strain on the body.
You should inhale for four seconds and exhale for six seconds to practice, repeating the exercise for ten minutes twice a day.
10) Invest in red light therapy (RLT) sessions
Red light therapy can optimize your skin’s health after just a few weeks. Stimulates muscle recovery, helps inflammation and supports the nervous system.
Thousands of people have also reported a reduction in acne scars, burns, wrinkles and UV damage.
