Be as good as you can be for as long as you can do it
Biohacking is not a new concept. Throughout time, humans have experimented with ways to improve and optimize their mental and physical abilities. Likewise, athletes have always sought novel methods to attain peak performance to give them an edge over their competition. However, in more recent years, optimizing human performance has grown into a lifestyle for individuals yearning to maximize their potential and live limitlessly.
Dave Asprey is the father of biohacking and Bullet Proof Coffee. At an early age, he was experiencing many poor health conditions. His unhealthy state prompted him to search for novel remedies, which eventually led him to conclude that humans could strategically and scientifically hack their biology to become healthier in every way and even drastically add years to their lives.
Biohacking is like an art and science of self-experimentation to biologically upgrade to the best version of oneself. Many of us utilize biohacks every day. For example, you might drink coffee or jump into a cold shower in the morning to stimulate your brain and body. This is an example of a low-tech biohack. On the flip side, the vastly growing high-tech biohacking industry is continually experimenting with biology and technology to find new and better methods to tap into human potential.
In Albuquerque, a few places might offer one or two biohacking options. Optimum Human Performance Center is an all-inclusive wellness center and co-working space where scientifically-driven lifestyle interventions, or hacks, are available to help members' maximize wellness objectives. Owner Matthew Finkelstein's vision was to create a space for those individuals who genuinely want to invest in and activate their best selves. Optimum's members aren't just athletes. The center attracts high performers like CEOs and even celebrities.
We asked Optimum's in-house experts to help us understand some of their top technologies and the possible benefits of utilizing these technologies.
