Biohacking and Longevity:
Unlocking the Secrets to Lifelong Vitality

Our experts share their top tips for a longer, healthier life.


“Biohacking” is a word we hear more and more in wellbeing circles. But what does it mean, exactly? Biohacking refers to optimising the body’s performance through scientific, nutritional and technological interventions, with the goal of living a longer, healthier life. It can include a wide range of interventions – from intermittent fasting to cryotherapy to ultra-advanced techniques like gene editing.


Longevity science is gaining traction as people explore ways to delay ageing and maintain optimal health in later life stages. In fact, humans have been intrigued by these questions for millennia. Systems of knowledge like Ayurveda, Yoga and Traditional Chinese Medicine offer a wealth of wisdom to improve vitality and slow down ageing – many of these age-old practices are now considered “biohacking”.

 

Support longevity with six key biohacking strategies, shared by our experts to enhance physical, mental and cellular wellbeing.

Optimise Nutrition and Gut Health

  • Time-Restricted Eating. Align eating windows with your circadian rhythm to boost metabolic health.
  • Caloric Restriction. Consume fewer calories while maintaining nutritional balance.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Diet. Emphasise whole foods, healthy fats (like Omega-3s), and antioxidants.
  • Fibre & Fermentation. Consume prebiotics (fibre) and probiotics (fermented foods) for a balanced microbiome.
  • Harm Reduction. Avoid processed foods, alcohol and artificial sweeteners since these can harm gut health.

  • Thai Massage. This therapeutic massage not only improves range and freedom of movement but also releases muscular tension and energy blockages. 

Incorporate Cold and Heat Therapies

  • Cold Therapy. Ice baths, cold showers and cryotherapy boost resilience and reduce inflammation.
  • Heat Therapy. Sauna use improves cardiovascular health, detoxification and longevity.
  • Hormesis (Controlled Stress). Exposing your body to small stressors (like extreme temperature) activates cellular repair mechanisms.

  • Cryotherapy. A single session boosts the body’s natural immune response, removing toxins, decreasing cortisol levels and burning up to 800 calories.
  • Ice Baths. The initial stress triggers physiological responses such as improved circulation, reduced inflammation and enhanced recovery. Repeated exposure can increase your body’s resilience and adaptive capacity.
  • Aufguss Sauna Ritual (heat exposure with aromatherapy). An increase in core temperature challenges your cardiovascular system. The body adapts by becoming more efficient at dealing with heat stress over time.
  • Aufguss Sauna Ritual with Ice Bath. The contrast between extreme heat and cold improves circulation, eases inflammation and pain, enhances mental clarity and relieves stress by releasing endorphins.
