Biohacking and Wellness in Bodrum: Le Méridien Bodrum Beach Resort Programs and Biohacker's Store

Biohacking is a systematic approach to improving quality of life and preserving health. Its goal is to optimize various life processes in order to maximize the body's performance and prolong life. The word biohacking can be translated as "hacking your biological structure," but it doesn't mean anything negative. On the contrary, biohackers aim to improve their health and quality of life without harming the body. According to numerous studies, the proven lifespan of a human being should be 120 years. This is exactly what biohackers strive for. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to optimize various life processes. It is important to normalize sleep and nutrition, give up bad habits, increase physical activity and slow down aging. This will help to preserve youth for a long time. It would seem that this is the usual advice from a healthy lifestyle. However, biohacking is a fundamentally different approach to self-improvement. It is based on scientific evidence and aims to improve the quality of life by preventing problems or optimizing various aspects of life. An example of this approach is Chris Dancy, the ideologue behind Quantified Self. He measures all his social activities throughout the day and uses this data to improve his life. Biohacking is not a one-size-fits-all approach and does not have the official support of many physicians. However, it can be helpful for those who are willing and able to participate. Biohacking requires a conscious decision and ongoing participation. In the initial stage, it is important to proceed gradually and not to cause stress due to a change in the usual rhythm of life. Otherwise, this will be the cause of failure in the future. For example, you can visualize that eating after 8:00 pm is an old thing or a broken tool that needs to be thrown away. Repeating mentally this process several times a day for a week, you will be able to notice how the habit of eating before bedtime gradually goes away. In parallel, we recommend using breathing techniques to relieve stress (video on our YouTube channel) . The second step - the right rhythm of sleep, so that circadian rhythms work properly. This will help the body at the right time to produce hormones of activity (cortisol) and rest (melatonin), including the natural biorhythms and setting the pace of the whole body. It is also important to remove the "blue light" from the smartphone screen in the evening after 18:00 and try to go to bed before 22:00. This will help avoid problems with lack of quality rest. Biohacking utilizes different methods and approaches such as building healthy habits, medical techniques and technologies, spiritual practices, working with the mind and subconscious mind. However, everything should be done under the supervision of a doctor to avoid possible health problems. In the modern world, people often face the problem of lack of quality rest. Many of us do not know how to rest properly to truly relax. This is where biohacking can help us - it allows us to master the skill of proper rest. Dinner should not be rich in carbohydrates, but should have a shift towards protein saturation. Then you will not be familiar with the feeling of hunger in the evening and you will forget about trips to the refrigerator. One more thing - feeling hungry is similar to feeling thirsty, so just drink a glass of room temperature water slowly, in small sips. Biohacking has a lot in common with evidence-based medicine: all prescriptions should be discussed with a doctor who knows your test results. It is also important to use only scientifically proven methods and those that are confirmed in the clinic. For example, you read on the Internet 8 signs of vitamin D deficiency in the body, went to the pharmacy, bought a vitamin D supplement and started taking it. But the possible cause of the decline of this vitamin was not its deficiency, but a problem with its absorption by the digestive system. or maybe there was no vitamin D deficiency at all!? This is a situation where you need a doctor. It is in these cases that biohacking has a lot in common with evidence-based medicine: all prescriptions should be discussed with a doctor who knows your test results. Biohacking uses supplements, but it should be done under the supervision of a doctor. Uncontrolled intake of even seemingly harmless supplements can lead to drug-induced hepatitis or poisoning. The Biohacking program in Bodrum will help you get all the skills you need to use them in your life. However, we are against extreme biohacking and only recommend scientifically proven methods.
