Hi friends! How are you? I hope you had an amazing weekend! Ours was a busy one but it was a lot of fun. P crushed her basketball game, we tried a new Tucson restaurant, and started decorating for Halloween.

For today’s post, I wanted to share more details about a product I’ve been loving for the past few weeks: the HigherDOSE red light cap! I love all things HigherDOSE, so needless to say I was pumped when they sent this to me to add to my collection.

HigherDOSE Red Light Hat Review

Red light therapy has grown exponentially as a wellness trend and is going to continue to surge in popularity. I think friends are seeing how easy it is to implement red light therapy into a daily health routine, and there are so many potential benefits. I’m a huge fan of my red light face mask and red light neck enhancer, and the new HigherDOSE red light hat is a convenient biohacking tool that my busy friends out there can use to support their hair growth and scalp health.

It’s so easy for me to wear this hat around because it looks like a regular ol’ baseball cap! The power is hidden underneath.  In this post, I’m going to share a full HigherDOSE red light hat review and how you can use this at-home red light therapy in your own routine.

What Is the HigherDOSE Red Light Hat?

The HigherDOSE Red Light Hat uses 650nm red light and is designed to increase blood circulation to the scalp, which can potentially help with hair loss, optimized hair follicle function, and increased growth. It’s designed to be worn for 10 minutes, which makes it super easy to use on a regular basis. Plus, it looks cute!

Benefits of Using Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy can be used for many potential benefits, and it really depends on your goals.

Some of the things red light can do:

– Improve skin health and texture (reduced wrinkles, improved skin texture, , decreased fine lines, and acne)

Hi friends! I hope that you’re having a wonderful week! Liv and I are getting our nails done (P is at camp) and we’ll all be swimming and hanging out today.

For today’s post, I wanted to share some of my favorite new products I tried at the Biohacking conference, plus some things you can do at home.

Gadgets I tried at the Biohacking Conference

The Tech Wonderland at the Biohacking Conference was literally a WONDERLAND. It was packed with so many amazing things, like saunas, red light, PEMF, IV infusions, coffee, food, supplements, cold plunges – basically anything you could ever want for your at-home health routine.

I was there with my friend Giselle, and we had a blast trying and doing all the things.

Here are some of my favorite things we tried:

BallancerPRO

The BallancerPRO is a state-of-the-art lymphatic drainage massage system designed to improve circulation, reduce swelling, and enhance overall body contouring. Utilizing advanced compression technology, it works by gently applying pressure to different parts of the body, promoting lymphatic flow and the removal of toxins. Regular use of BallancerPRO can lead to improved skin tone, reduced cellulite, and a boost in overall energy levels.

Cera

Cera is a high-tech wellness device focused on enhancing brain function and mental clarity. CERA is the first FDA-listed device to support the Gut-Brain Axis with photobiomodulation. It can stimulate brain activity, improve focus, and can support cognitive health. Users often experience benefits such as reduced stress, better sleep quality, and enhanced mental performance after consistent use of the Cera devices, which you can use for gut and brain wellness.

Pure Wave

Pure Wave is a VEMI (Vibroaccoustic eletromagnetic infrared) biosynchronizer bed designed to promote relaxation, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being. By emitting electromagnetic waves that interact with the body’s cells, the Pure Wave bed helps to improve cellular health, boost mood, and support recovery.

This post is about what I learned at the Biohacking Conference, hosted by Dave Asprey, in Dallas, TX. I’m grateful that a media pass was provided to attend this amazing experience. You can read my first review about the Biohacking Conference here.

(and yes, this includes things you can do at home!)

Hi friends! How is the weekend going? We’re in full dance recital mode over here. Don’t forget to head over to this week’s giveaway!

Today, I wanted to share a recap of some of the top things I learned from the Biohacking Conference. As you can imagine, I learned a LOT, and felt like my brain was buzzing for days afterwards. I’ve finally had a chance to let everything simmer, and time to sort through the 19 pages of notes. Of course, I can’t share EVERYTHING here on the blog – you need to go in person!! – but here are some of my favorite points from some of the talks I attended while I was there. (I could post so much more but like I said, you really have to go in person!)

What I learned at Dave Asprey’s Biohacking Conference

The End of Mental Illness with Dr. Daniel Amen

I’ve been a huge fan of Dr. Amen for years and years, so I was thrilled for the opportunity to learn from him in person. During his talk, he shared that psychiatry is the only medical industry that doesn’t actually look at the organ itself before prescribing medication. If you have heart issues, they take an image. If you have kidney pain, they take an image. With your brain, they take an educated guess, and prescribe medication without actually looking at your brain.

At his clinic, they perform SPECT scans that enable providers to look at the surface of the brain, blood flow, and brain activitity. It’s pretty fascinating – they have a new clinic in Scottsdale! – and it was incredible to see images of brains that were healed after trauma, drug use, OCD, etc. through lifestyle, supplements, and medication, if it was actually needed.

The main message of his talk was that you can heal your brain, and you’re not stuck with the brain you currently have.

Factors that HURT your brain:

– Altered blood flow, through things like high blood pressure, caffeine, sedentary lives, low choresterol, nicotine, caffeine

– Head trauma

– Retirement/aging – no longer having a purpose, or suffering from lonliness

– Toxicity – alcohol, mold, heavy metals, THC, drugs, products

– What he refers to as “diabesity”: high blood sugar, pre-diabetes, diabetes, being overweight or obese

– Inflammation- from proces

This post is a full review of my experience at the Biohacking Conference, hosted by Dave Asprey, in Dallas, TX. I’m grateful that a media VIP pass was provided to attend this amazing experience. 

Hi friends! How are you? I hope that you’re having a wonderful morning so far! I’m back in Tucson after an inspiring and transformational trip to Texas last week to attend the Biohacking Conference.

To be totally honest, I’ve been feeling pretty blah about fitness and health conferences lately. There hasn’t been anything that’s caught my eye, and usually conferences are a chance to learn more about what’s happening in our industry, and light a fire of inspiration. Conferences can be expensive in terms of travel, attendance, childcare, hotel, etc., and I haven’t seen anything that looked particularly worth it lately.

Then, I was ad targeted for the Biohacking Conference, hosted by Dave Asprey, and I immediately knew that I wanted to go. The lineup of speakers included so many of my favorites, and I’m a huge fan of Dave.

Needless to say, I was so thrilled when they offered a media pass to attend. While my attendance was provided, please note that this post isn’t sponsored and all opinions are my own.

Also, I have SO MUCH to say, so I’m going to be splitting this into three separate posts and a podcast episode!

1) My review of the actual conference and if I think attendance is worth it (this post)

2) A list of takeaways and the things I learned from the various sessions (blog post coming later this week and podcast will air next week)

3) My favorite gadgets from the conference, including biohacking strategies you can do at home for low cost, or for free (coming early next week)

 Sharing 10 of my favorite biohacking products and how they could potentially take your health routine to the next level.

Hi friends! How’s the week going? I hope you’re having a great day! This morning, the kids and I are getting together with some friends and enjoying some pool time. It’s a thousand degrees here, so it’s officially reverse hibernation season: we hide in the AC or chill in the pool.

For today’s post, I wanted to chat a bit about biohacking and share some of my favorite biohacking products! You may be wondering what biohacking is, or may have heard that health buzzword floating around quite a bit.

What is biohacking?

Biohacking products have gained popularity in recent years as people strive to optimize their health and well-being. These products are designed to enhance various aspects of human performance, including physical, cognitive, and emotional well-being. By utilizing cutting-edge technology and scientific advancements, biohacking products aim to empower individuals to take control of their health and live their best lives.

One area where biohacking products excel is in tracking and monitoring various health metrics. From wearable devices that measure heart rate, sleep quality, and activity levels to smart scales that provide body composition analysis, these tools allow individuals to gain valuable insights into their overall health and make informed decisions. By understanding the data, individuals can make necessary adjustments to their lifestyle, such as improving sleep habits, optimizing nutrition, or adjusting their exercise routines.

Biohacking products also include supplements and nootropics that target specific health goals. These products are formulated to provide essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that may be lacking in our modern diets. From adaptogenic herbs that support stress management to cognitive enhancers that improve focus and mental clarity, these supplements aim to optimize various bodily functions and promote overall well-being.Another aspect of biohacking products involves technologies that support recovery and relaxation. For instance, devices like infrared saunas, red light therapy panels, and cryotherapy chambers are designed to enhance recovery, reduce inflammation, and promote tissue repair. These modalities can be particularly beneficial for athletes, individuals managing chronic pain, or those seeking overall rejuvenation.

Biohacking products also encompass wearable devices and apps that facilitate mindfulness practices, stress reduction, and sleep optimization. From meditation headbands that track brainwave activity to sleep-tracking devices that provide insights into sleep quality, these tools help individuals manage their stress levels, improve focus, and enhance sleep hygiene.

While biohacking products offer exciting possibilities for optimizing health, it’s important to approach them with an open mind and a balanced perspective. It’s crucial to remember that biohacking should complement, not replace, a healthy lifestyle built on a foundation of proper nutrition, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management.

Before incorporating any biohacking product into your routine, it’s advisable to do thorough research, consult with healthcare professionals, and consider your unique needs and goals. Additionally, it’s essential to listen to your body and prioritize self-care, as individual responses to biohacking interventions may vary. This post is not medical advice and is for information purposes only. 

Here are some of my favorite products that I use on a regular basis and I feel like they take my health routine to the next level. It’s also worth mentioning here that you do not have to spend a lot of money to be healthy! Some of the products below are an inv
