Biohacking: Easing Your Journey Towards Your Health Goals
Almost everyone has life goals, whether it is becoming a CEO, a profit centre head, a highly successful professional, a teacher, an influencer, an entrepreneur, a social worker, a political leader, a professional artist or just become someone who can retire rich and respected. But not many people have such specific health goals regarding their life.
Why Health Goals Determine Success
Your health goals or your lack of it, will largely decide whether you will be able to achieve your life goals or not. Somebody who develops a serious manifestation of type 2 diabetes in their early 40s is going to find their professional life somewhat challenging from then on. Or somebody who develops hypertension in their 30s or 40s will have to slow down a bit inevitably.
Lifestyle diseases which kill are the leading cause of premature deaths worldwide, and not accidents or natural calamities. Only those who proactively take charge of their health by setting specific health goals stand a reasonable chance of leading a long and successful life of high productivity.
Health Lessons From Billionaires
It is not a coincidence that most of the world’s top ranking billionaires are absolute health freaks. Whether it is those in their 90s like Warren Buffett, or those in their 80s like Amancio Ortega, in their 70s like Bernard Arnault, in their 60s like Bill Gates, in their 50s like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk & Larry Page, in their 40s like Sergey Brin or in their 30s like Mark Zuckerberg, all are highly health conscious when it comes to diets and fitness levels.
But, today, due to the advancement and proliferation of health-tech like biohacking, you need not be a millionaire to take charge of your health. While you can start right away by setting yourself health goals like a healthy weight to attain or maintain, a certain level of daily physical activity, or an optimal duration of sleep per night, real biohacking goes much beyond, and will provide you with comprehensive lifestyle modifications spanning diet, exercise, sleep, nutrition, supplements, meditation, breath work, yoga etc. that are personalized for your genetic and metabolic uniqueness.
Not so long back, such biohacking systems were privileges enjoyed only by the super-rich, but today even a person with an average income can go for such geno-metabolic lifestyle management programs like EPLIMO, which employs a saliva based genetic test, a detailed metabolic assessment, and an AI driven app that delivers the comprehensive modifications like personalised diet, personalised fitness, personalised meditation, personalised yoga etc.
CEO Class Performance for Everyone
The real wonder of such biohacking systems is that the results are epigenetic in nature, or in other words, these personalised lifestyle modifications can even keep a person’s genetic risks for developing specific killer diseases at bay. A bonus with such systems is that they also help you with achieving sustainable peak performance - both mentally and physically - as these lifestyle changes are suggested as per your specific body codes.
Choosing genomic lifestyle management for yourself and your family can thus be considered as the most effective health goal that yields the best results among all the currently available biohacks. Other health goals you can aim for include optimising your diet for a most healthy gut microbiome composition as it greatly aids your physical and mental health. It is also helpful to invest in quantified self-tools like smart watches, fitness trackers, specialised wearables, health apps etc.
There are now biohacking communities too, like Limoverse, that will help you stay motivated for undertaking lifestyle modifications by rewarding you financially with crypto tokens for the steps you have walked, jogged or run, or for the calories you have burnt, or for the specific health goals you have achieved.
Biohacking to Boom Through the Decade
Multiple market research firms have come out with detailed reports on the growth prospects of the biohacking industry. One of the most comprehensive among them is by the noted US based research firm Fact.MR which says the sector is expected to grow at 23.7% CAGR for the next ten years to reach a size of US$242 billion by 2033.
The report rightly calls biohacking as a DIY wellness movement that aims at human enhancement, by boosting capabilities, fitness, and wellness by deliberate interventions. The main drivers for the expected high growth in biohacking over the next ten years are the rising prevalence of chronic diseases, increasing knowledge about biohacking, and high usage of smart gadgets across the world.
