Throughout the weekly schedule, it is important to listen to your body and consciously notice any changes. Biohacking requires patience and adjustment to achieve the best results. If there are health concerns, always consult a medical professional before using any new techniques or supplements.
Biohacking can influence the cells and help to promote health and longevity. For example, some practices support cellular energy production, reduce oxidative stress or optimize overall cell communication.
However, it is important to note that biohacking offers no guarantees and can have different effects on individuals. It should always be used with caution and, if necessary, in consultation with a specialist.
