Biohackers believe in experience-based learning. Or in plainer terms… we like to touch stuff. If you don’t attempt it, how do you know it works?
If you have a coffee near you, choose it up and chug it.
Your Challenge: To read this article FAST.
Jim Kwik, accelerated learning specialist and convention keynote, requested the audience to understand FAST learning.
- Forget: Forget your preconceptions.
- Active: Read actively and participate in the demos.
- State: Feel the pleasure and curiosity to learn. Sit up, lean forward.
- Teach: Read as even though you should educate this to others.
Jim teaches these techniques in his accelerated mastering classes. Your project is to observe them while studying this article.
Do you take delivery of the challenge? If so, take a second to manage your state.
Alright, let’s dive in.
When Biohackers Gather
“This is like Disneyland for adults!”
With the three big flow-state inducing swings, the hyperbaric chambers, the neurofeedback booths, the ARX Fit exercising machines, the nutrient injection stations, the vibration plates, the oxygen bar, the Bulletproof Coffee bar, and the other 30+ technological know-how exhibitors, the 2014 Bulletproof Biohacking Conference sincerely felt like a health-focused entertainment park of the future.
Conference speakers covered flow-state specialist Steven Kotler, mobility professional Kelly Starrett, memory specialist Jim Kwik, nutrition expert JJ Virgin, Genius expert Dr. Daniel Amen, and extra than 35 different health and overall performance leaders.
With three consecutive 12-hour days of non-stop information, I’d have needed Jim Kwik’s brain to soak up and recall everything.
Here’s my strive at mapping all the topics discussed:biohacking
To simplify, I filtered it down to 7 actionable biohacks that you can start doing immediately:
Movement, nutrition, rewilding, awareness, music, flow, and gratitude.
But first…
What the heck is “Biohacking”?
Biohacking is a crazy-sounding title for some thing now not crazy at all—the wish to be the absolute nice model of ourselves.
The foremost component that separates a biohacker from the relaxation of the self-improvement world is a systems-thinking strategy to our own biology.
You recognize how espresso feels like a shot of energy to your brain?
Pre-coffee you is sleepy….zzzzzz…
Post-coffee you is WIDE AWAKE!!
The solely distinction is the coffee in your stomach.
The lesson is this: What you put into your body has an ENORMOUS affect on how you feel.
We all recognize this. What we consume and drink is one way we alter our state.
Music is another. If you put on smoooooooooooth jazzzzzzzz, you’ll sense different than if you blast T-T-T-TECHNO.
The things we put in our belly and ears are inputs into our biology.
As humans, we are complicated systems. What goes into us affects what comes out of us, and I’m now not just talking about our poop. Our behaviors, our health, and our overall performance in all areas of lifestyles are outputs.
If we choose better outputs—to have more energy and focus, to be free of disease, to have a higher memory, to operate optimally in enterprise and athletics—then let’s tweak the matters we put into our body and mind to stack the deck in our favor.
Biohackers use the equipment of the Quantified Self to measure these inputs and outputs, and to experimentally test the effect of different tweaks.
As I noted earlier, biohacking is about getting your palms dirty and studying from experience.
Do that with me now.
