The Results are in, your health success formula is…
Are you ready for a new way of thinking about health? The body is an ecosystem. Every cell has its own unique function and purpose. When one part of this system breaks down, it can affect every other part of the system. The key to optimal health is balance and harmony between all parts of your body’s ecosystem – from your gut to your immune system, from your brain to your heart.
Biohacking is the process, principles and practices that allow humans to achieve a healthy body and mind and live their best life by optimising their health. This is not a quick fix, but something that’s done consistently every day to deliver incredible results for human health.
Unfortunately, many of us are biohacking in reverse and it’s making us sick. Resulting in increases in chronic health conditions like diabetes, heart diseases and cancer (according to the WHO between 30 % and 50% of cancer cases are preventable). In fact, one in three middle-aged Brits suffers from at least two chronic health conditions, including diabetes, high blood pressure and recurrent back problems. Many of these conditions develop as a result of inflammation.
Conventional medicine has few to no tools to prevent disease, instead, its focus is to treat disease after it has occurred. However, making changes to your diet, lifestyle and your environment can help you optimise your health and prevent disease.
What it means
The primary focus for biohacking is diet, lifestyle and the environment. These factors heavily influence how well the body is able to function.
Why it’s important
Making the right changes to diet, environment and lifestyle will help optimise human health helping to prevent disease.
Powerful Insight
Staying healthy and keeping well is real prevention. It’s not about waiting for the disease to happen and then treating it, even if it is early. Rather it’s about how to make lifestyle choices that promote health and resilience so humans don’t get sick.
