10 ‘Biohacks’ To Help You Live Longer

Tech millionaire Bryan Johnson continues to back his $2M anti-aging lifestyle, known as 'Project Blueprint.', an attempt at reversing the aging process. 

He has made headlines over his controversial and unrelenting attempt to live forever and is referred to as a ‘Biohacker’. 

Fitness experts at SET FOR SET, predict that ‘Do-it-yourself biology’, also commonly referred to as ‘Biohacking’, will be one of the hottest trends for 2024. 

For those inspired by ‘Project Blueprint’, the experts at SET FOR SET have shared five ways you can ‘biohack’ to help contribute to a longer, healthier life.  

1) Ice cold plunge 

It is recommended to complete 11 minutes of cold-water exposure per week, which can be broken into three minutes per session.  

2) Optimise your sleep 

If you are getting around seven to nine hours of sleep a night, you will encourage muscle growth and repair, help keep your brain alert, improve your blood sugar levels, and even enhance your lifespan. 

3) Regular saunas 

Saunas, small rooms heated with hot air or steam, have cardiovascular health benefits. 

4) Breathwork 

With breathwork practice, the body can be trained to automatically control breathing and utilise it as a calming tool during times of stress. 

5) Red Light Therapy (RLT) 

Red light therapy (RLT) is a popular method used to optimize overall skin health. RLT also helps to boost muscle recovery, reduce pain and inflammation, support nervous system health, and generally increase energy levels. 

Always consult a health professional before trying any new form of diet or therapy.
