How to Make Carbs Work for You – With One Easy Biohack

Carbs have always been a bit tricky for me. Through testing, I discovered that my body doesn’t digest carbohydrates very well. I experienced bloating, cravings and energy crashes every time I ate starchy food. That’s one reason I thrived on a ketogenic diet for several years. No blood sugar swings, no hunger pangs, just balanced energy. But when I started to reintroduce carbs into my diet, I knew I had to be smart about it. That’s when I discovered resistant starch and the simple, powerful trick of freezing starchy foods before eating them. What Is Resistant Starch? Resistant starch is a type of carbohydrate that resists digestion in the small intestine. Instead of being broken down into sugar like regular starch, it passes into the colon where it...

nad+ longevity

NAD+: The Cellular Power Molecule Everyone’s Talking About

It seems like everywhere I turn in the longevity space, people are talking about NAD+. And this is for good reason. NAD+ is not just a buzzword. It plays a central role in our cellular health and maintaining its levels might be one of the keys to aging well and living longer. What Is NAD+? NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a coenzyme found in every cell of the body. You can think of it as cellular currency. Your cells depend on it for energy production, DNA repair and to support sirtuins (the proteins that regulate aging and inflammation). As we age, especially after 30, our NAD+ levels naturally decline. This decline is linked to many signs of aging like fatigue, metabolic dysfunction, inflammation and cognitive decline. This is...

Hydrogen Water and Longevity – What’s the Hype About?

As a biohacker, you're always stumbling across new technologies, health gadgets, and health innovations. Lately, something new has caught my attention in this field. And that is hydrogen water. While I’m still just a few days into trying it myself, the potential benefits are definitely worth a closer look. So what is hydrogen water, and why are so many in the wellness world talking about it? What is Hydrogen Water? Hydrogen water is simply regular water that contains extra hydrogen molecules. These are the tiniest and lightest molecules in the universe. The added molecules are believed to act as powerful antioxidants which helps to reduce oxidative stress in the body. Oxidative stress is a big player in aging and age-related diseases, so anything that helps reduce it...

Ketones

Understanding Ketones: The Body’s Alternative Fuel Source

For a long time, I thought feeling tired after meals, struggling with sugar cravings, and dealing with bloating was just my normal. That was before I discovered the ketogenic diet and the incredible role ketones can play in how we fuel our bodies. I followed a ketogenic diet for several years and it worked really well for me. I didn’t feel hungry between meals, I didn’t get the usual blood sugar swings, and my energy levels felt very stable. It wasn’t until I started exercising more intensively that I felt the need to bring back some carbohydrates to support my workouts better. Like everything in health, there’s no one-size-fits-all but understanding ketones has been a game-changer for me. What Are Ketones? Ketones are small molecules produced by the...

The 12 Hallmarks of Aging – What They Are & Why They Matter

Aging is a complex biological process that affects every cell in our body. For decades, scientists have been attempting to understand what causes aging and how we might slow it down.

Creatine Monhydrate Benefits

Why Creatine is a Biohacker’s Best Kept Secret

For the longest time, I thought creatine was just for bodybuilders. Like something you'd find in the gym bags of guys looking to bulk up. I never considered it relevant to me.

Why Balancing Omega-3 and Omega-6 Is Crucial for Your Health

Most people know that fats are essential for overall health, but did you know that the balance between Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids plays an essential role in inflammation, heart health and even brain function? A study published in the International Journal of Cancer found that higher levels of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are associated with a reduced risk of 14 different cancers, including colon, stomach, and lung cancers. It's time that we become aware of this and start to balancing our Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids. Unfortunately, modern diets filled with ultra-processed foods have dramatically shifted the good ratio between these fatty acids and this is affecting our well-being in a negative way.

When it comes to aging well, people usually pay much attention to the internal factors that are within our control: diet, how much exercise we get and how much sleep we have.
