At its core, biohacking is about hacking your biology in order to feel your best, look your best, and slow down ageing… writes <\/em>Naturopathic Nutritionist <\/strong><\/em>Erica<\/em><\/strong><\/a>. It\u2019s about fine-tuning your wellness routine to improve both physical and mental health. This can be done by optimising health through targeted nutrition, movement, and functional supplements such as mushrooms and adaptogens. Biohacking is a pleasure on the French Riviera where we have sunshine, beautiful nature and local markets.<\/p>\n

The original idea of \u201cbiohacking\u201d was actually very simple. It looked like exposing your face and body to natural sunlight to optimise vitamin D absorption, grounding your feet, walking in nature and breathing fresh air, swimming in cold water sources (a healthy stress that encourages hormesis – the body’s ability to grow stronger through challenge – and boosts BDNF, a protein that supports brain health), waking up with natural light to support healthy cortisol levels, and dimming lights in the evening to allow melatonin production.<\/p>\n

For me, biohacking\u00a0isn\u2019t about any extreme protocols. It\u2019s about simple, intentional daily choices I make that make me feel my best.<\/p>\n

Eat organic and local, avoid refined sugars and drink water<\/h3>\n
