Biohacking explained by a nutritionist

Biohacking is a term used to describe small changes aimed at improving health and performance. It often involves making small changes to diet, sleep, exercise, or supplements and tracking the results.

Originally linked to DIY biology done outside of labs, biohacking now includes everyday habits people use to feel better and function at their best [1]. From a nutritionist’s point of view, it’s about using food and lifestyle choices in a more personalised, informed way.

Key Takeaways

Here are the five biggest takeaways from this page about biohacking:

  • Biohacking should be a flexible, personalised approach to health. Rather than a one-size-fits-all solution, you should make small, manageable changes based on your lifestyle and preferences.

  • Whether it’s optimising sleep, diet, or mental well-being, biohacking strategies are designed to be accessible and effective for anyone looking to improve their quality of life.

  • The focus of biohacking is on enhancing overall well-being. Strategies like physical activity, proper nutrition and stress management work together to improve both short-term and long-term health.

  • Biohacking isn’t about seeking quick fixes but rather adopting sustainable, long-term habits.

  • A core principle of biohacking is the use of data to help inform decisions. Tracking sleep patterns, physical activity and nutritional intake can build a better understanding of your body’s needs.
