Biohacking your body

1. Biohacking your body: Nutrition, Supplements and Diet Nutrition is a big part of overall health and the core part of biohacking for longevity. Once you start your biohacking journey, you go into the whole new world with paleo, keto, the low-carb diet, the list is endless. How to choose the right one and not harm your body? Renee Belz, Co-Founder of Biohacker Babes, together with five world-class biohackers experts, came up together to talk deeply about nutrition, supplements, and diet at Panel Discussion at the BiohackingCongress. The first question was - “Where do you need to start to pick the right diet?”. Dietary diversity is one piece of advice. You have a goal in mind and should pursue it. Analyze your feelings to determine whether the diet makes you feel good or exhausts you. The variation creates diversity in the microbiome. The variation creates the stress, and the stress creates the result. In addition, you should pay attention to your hormones. How do you figure out that the diet doesn’t work for you? Ben Azadi, Founder of Keto Camp, advised looking at the lab biomarkers such as inflammatory markers to get a full lipid panel and insulin resistance. CGM is a great tool to use as well. It matters how you feel; be aware of non-scale victories, heart rate, and sleep quality. Many good biohacking technologies on the market can track your health and help you develop a relationship with your body. Once you have a complete understanding of your body, you know its ups and downs, you can develop intuition with it, and then you can use those labs to verify it and biohack your body. “I think all women should run a hormone test every single year. I run mine in July every year to make sure that my lifestyle is working for my hormones. I love CGMs, and the other significant market is loving the body you're living in. Do you have great energy all day long? Do you sleep well? Do you like putting your clothes on? If the answer is “yes,” you're probably on the right track.” Dr. Mindy Pelz, a Bestselling author, nutrition, and functional medicine expert focused on biohacking for women's health, said. You could also radically change the state of health with three simple labs that are under $100. Shawn Wells, Nutritional biochemist and Expert on Health Optimization, shared the list of tests you could do twice a year. First of all, you should look at mitochondrial health and your metabolic health with just hemoglobin, A1C oxidized LDL, and CRP. Additionally, you should be looking at inflammation glycation and oxidation because most people are in perpetual states of insufficient cellular energy. It's called brain energy gap and just looking at these things to see how your mitochondria are doing, are you making enough energy, and what's the repercussion of glycation oxidation and inflammation. The Keto diet is getting more and more popular. A keto diet's anti-inflammatory and anti- oxidative effects may help maintain muscular health, reducing exercise-induced muscle damage.

2. What is the typical timeline to transition into keto-adaptation? “There's an epigenetic level at play. Someone who has been an endurance athlete all their life perhaps can get fat-adapted or keto-adapted very quickly. That being said, there's also a big difference between being keto-adapted and being fat-adapted. Being fat-adapted is beta- oxidation. That's like any one of you could be fat-adapted if you started running enough. It's going to happen anyway. “Keto adaptation is where we're getting adapted to the ketone side of things. It’s more efficient at histone deacetylase inhibition. When you start a ketogenic diet, it may approximately take six weeks to transition into keto-adaptation. It is because you have certain levels of half-lives of mitochondrial biogenesis that you have to go through in about six weeks. “I think there's a big delta between people just depending on their past experiences and how they train, eat, their hydration, and more,” Thomas DeLauer, Nutrition, and Business Performance Coach, said. The big takeaway. Within the six weeks’ time period, your body starts to get comfortable, and that's when we want to change it up. One of the most controversial and hot questions discussed at the Panel Discussion was about alcohol and biohacking for health. How those two can co-exist. Can you have alcohol on keto? “People want to put things in the category of “no” and “yes.” When it's not that way, people get very confused. We hear a lot that caffeine is bad. However, many scientific studies show that caffeine is a perfect stressor. It's impressive even for your adrenals, then you go overboard, and then it wipes your adrenals. "Alcohol is the same. The core thing to remember is balance. Everyone has their own balance of alcohol. You need to know how your body responds to this kind of stress. The same as exercise, no difference," Dr. Daniel Pompa, Co-Founder & CEO of Content and Protocol Development, said. The BiohackingCongress team appreciates all of the panelists of the absolutely remarkable and enlightening Panel Discussion at our biohacking conference.
