What is biohacking

Biohacking is a term coined by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Dave Asprey. He wanted to live a better way of life and wanted to do it in a new and innovative way. From this desire, he created Bulletproof Coffee and the Bulletproof Diet.

Asprey describes Biohacking as the action of “changing the environment outside of you and inside of you so you have full control of your biology, to allow you to upgrade your body, mind, and your life” and even going as far as describing it as “the art and science of becoming superhuman”.

Biohackers are acutely aware of everything they consume – be it food and drink, music, or surroundings. By focusing on these things, biohackers can achieve an increased level of wellbeing and functioning in life. Biohackers see HBOT as a way of “upgrading” their body and mind. It may sound far-fetched, but here is a list of the ways in which increased oxygenation can potentially boost your physical and mental functioning:

  • Mental clarity
  • Increased energy and focus
  • Wellness and freedom from disease
  • Better memory for optimal performance in business and athletics
  • A longer, healthier life

Dace Asprey himself recommends Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as a top ‘biohack’ as the increased levels of oxygen compared to what you obtain in your natural environment has a huge range of benefits to your wellbeing.

How HBOT can help?

HBOT is a straightforward, non-invasive and painless procedure whereby patients enter a private, single person, purpose-built chamber called a hyperbaric chamber. Inside, patients inhale pure oxygen at up to 2 times the normal atmospheric pressure. The heightened pressure conditions increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, which allows the body to absorb 10-15 times more oxygen than normal.
