Last year my husband (although we don’t have the legal status, it is the best way to describe the nature of our relationship) came across Bulletproof Coffee. And thus in contact with, Dave Asprey (founder of Bulletproof and author of the bestseller ‘The Bulletproof Diet’) and his many biohacks. Immediately we both were fascinated by his approach and especially the joy he expressed in his podcasts doing some of the weirdest hacks. Biohacking was a complete new phenomena to us.

So, what it is biohacking?

Biohacking is about changing both your external and internal environment so you have more (full) control of your biology. Allowing you to upgrade your body, mind, and life. Or by quoting Dave:

The art of using technology to change the environment both inside and outside of your body to take control and make it do what you want.

Just some examples of biohacks, to get a better understanding:

• Cold therapy (the Wim Hof Method for example, as mentioned in an earlier blog, or cryotherapie)
• Drink coffee with butter (Bulletproof coffee) as morning routine
• Taking supplements (like ketoprime or MCT-oil to increase brainpower)

The curious, geeky and playful child in me had awakened and wanted to be part of the fun. After my 10-days-100%-sugar-free challenge and 30-days-no-cheese-at-all challenge I was ready for the next step :-)!
