A revolution in the understanding of ageing

 

Imagine being 85 and running a marathon with ease, remembering all important dates and events, and your biological age is 30 years less than your passport age. Fantastic? No, this is the reality that opens before us biohacking - the science of systemic management of health and longevity. As correctly noted in the material of the telegram channel "Dietary supplements in the practice of the doctor. Nutriciology", this direction of preventive medicine is becoming increasingly popular not only among bloggers, but also among serious followers of a healthy lifestyle.

 

Why 125 years?

 

Scientists at the Buck Institute for Research on Aging (Buck Institute for Research on Aging) have proven that the human body has the biological potential to live up to 120-125 years. The key factor is not just life expectancy, but its quality - the period of active longevity, when a person retains mental clarity, physical fitness and vitality.


Fundamental principles of modern biohacking

 

1. A personalised approach to health Biohacking starts with a deep understanding of your own body:

- Genetic testing to identify predispositions

- Regular monitoring of more than 50 biomarkers

- Gut microbiome analysis

- Assessment of hormonal status

 

2 Optimisation of basic processes

 

Sleep as the foundation of longevity

- Synchronising with circadian rhythms

- Creating ideal conditions for deep sleep

- Monitoring sleep phases with modern gadgets

- Techniques for falling asleep quickly and getting quality rest.

 

Nutrition of the future

- Interval fasting with chronotype

- Personalised nutrient selection

- Glycemic index control

- Microbiome optimisation

 

3. Physical activity of a new generation

 

A modern approach to training includes:

- High-intensity interval training (HIIT)

- Strength training to maintain muscle mass

- Practices to develop flexibility and mobility

- Recovery techniques

 

Best practices in biohacking

Wim Hof is a Dutch extreme sportsman.2 Known as the "Iceman" for his ability to endure extremely low temperatures and control the body's immune and nervous systems.1 The path to worldwide fame began at the age of 17 when, during a winter walk, Hof felt "drawn to the thin layer of ice on the water" and decided to take a dip in an ice channel. This experience was the beginning of his fascination with the cold and led to the development of a wellness method that later became known as the Wim Hof Method (WHM).2 Hof has since set more than 20 world records, including running a half-marathon in the Arctic Circle in shorts, climbing Kilimanjaro in his underwear, and standing in ice for nearly two hours

The Wim Hof Method: the power of cold and breathing

The method includes three components:

1. Special breathing techniques

2. Gradual adaptation to the cold

3. Development of willpower and mental stability

 

Studies show that regular practice of the Vima Hofa Method:

- Boosts immunity by 50-70%

- Reduces inflammation in the body

- Improves sleep quality

- Increases resistance to stress

 

Protocol of Pavel Durov



The founder of Telegram has developed his own biohacking system:

1. Daily cold treatments

2. Five-day fasting every 3-4 months

3. Abstaining from sugar and alcohol

4. Intense workouts on an empty stomach Pavel Durov uses an interesting method to strengthen his spirit - bathing in ice water.

"If you have ever had to swim in a lake with a thin layer of ice on its surface for a few minutes, you will no longer procrastinate starting work on a boring but important project," advises Durov. He often travels to Norwegian fjords for 5-day fasting and swimming in the water of a Norwegian fjord with ice.



The role of modern dietary supplements in biohacking: a scientific approach

 

Dietary supplements are becoming an integral part of biohacking protocols, but it's important to realise that they are not magic pills, but tools to fine-tune the body. Let's look at the key groups of supplements and their role in optimising health.

 

1. Функциональные грибы – природные адаптогены

 




Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum)

Principles of the use of dietary supplements in biohacking

 

1. Personalisation

- Consideration of genetic characteristics

- Analysis of current health status

- Adjustment of dosages to individual needs


2. Cyclicity

- Intake periods and breaks

- Rotation of supplements

- Seasonal adaptation of protocols

 

3. Monitoring

- Регулярные анализы крови

- Отслеживание субъективных показателей

- Корректировка схем приема

 

4. Безопасность

- Verification of product quality

- Recording of interactions between additives

- Consultation with specialists

 

Drawing up a personalised protocol of dietary supplements

Basic level

1. Multivitamins and minerals

2. Omega-3 3

. Vitamin D3+K2

4. Magnesium

 

Advanced level

1. adaptogenic mushrooms

2. Citrulline

3. L-carnitine

4. Coenzyme Q10

 

Expert level

1. Specialised peptides

2. NAD+ precursors

3. Senolytics.

Senolytics "cleanse" the body of aging cells by activating physiological apoptosis and removing toxic cells without harming healthy cells. The group of senolytics is small and so far includes several drugs and biologically active substances.

Combination of dasatinib and quercetinа

Dasatinib destroys senescent fat cells and quercetin destroys senescent vascular cells. The combination of these drugs shows a more powerful senolytic effect. The combination is not registered and is under study.

Fizetin

Vegetable polyphenol from the group of flavonoids, found in strawberries, apples, persimmons, onions, cucumbers. Fisetin has shown anti-cancer activity in cell and animal studies. Since October 2018, clinical trials have been conducted in the United States to evaluate the effectiveness of fisetin in humans.


In any case, we do not recommend using these and other xenolytics independently due to the lack of knowledge of these groups of drugs.


4. 4. Although some biohackers administer metformin or Ozimepec at the expert level, we strongly discourage this. These drugs are intended exclusively for patients with diabetes mellitus and all approvals (FDA) are formalised only for use in diabetic patients under the supervision of a physician and with a prescription. Ozympek is not recommended by the FDA for use in weight loss regimens.


The diversity of biohacking methods: beyond cold exposure

Personal preferences and psychological comfort In this aspect, it is important to have a positive attitude when starting a biohacking programme. You should not experience negativity and or emotional stress. Therefore, you should clearly answer the question: -What do I want to do biohacking for?


As noted in the article of the Telegram channel "Dietary supplements in the practice of a Doctor. Nutriciology", modern technologies play an important role in biohacking. The advent of smart health monitoring devices, genetic tests, and specialized applications makes this approach more accessible to a wider audience.

Biohacking is not just a fad, but a science-based approach to managing your health and longevity. By applying even the basic principles of biohacking, you can significantly improve your quality of life and lay the foundation for active longevity.


Remember: your body is the most advanced biological system, and if you learn how to manage it correctly, you will discover new horizons of opportunities and quality of life.
