Bio-hacking for body and mind.

Top 5 Biohacking Tips
Biohacking is all about optimizing our bodies and minds to achieve peak performance. By making intentional changes to our lifestyle, we can enhance our physical health, mental clarity, and overall well-being. Here are five top biohacking tips to help you get started on your journey to self-improvement:
1. Prioritize Quality Sleep: Adequate, restful sleep is crucial for optimal performance. Establish a consistent sleep schedule and create a conducive sleep environment by keeping your bedroom dark, cool, and free of distractions. Consider using blue light-blocking glasses before bed to improve sleep quality, and explore relaxation techniques such as meditation or taking a warm bath before sleep.
2. Nourish Your Body with Proper Nutrition: Fueling your body with the right nutrients is essential for biohacking success. Focus on consuming whole, unprocessed foods that include a variety of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Consider incorporating intermittent fasting or time-restricted eating to optimize digestion and energy levels.
3. Move Your Body Regularly: Engaging in regular physical activity is key for maintaining good health. Find an exercise routine that suits your lifestyle and goals, whether it's weightlifting, yoga, running, or a combination of various activities. Try to vary your workouts to target different muscle groups and prevent plateaus.
4. Practice Mindfulness and Stress Management: Chronic stress can have detrimental effects on both our physical and mental well-being. Incorporate stress-management techniques into your daily routine, such as meditation, deep breathing exercises, or journaling. Regular mindfulness practices can help improve focus, reduce anxiety, and enhance overall cognitive function.
5. Track and Analyze Your Metrics: Keep track of various health metrics to gain insights into your progress. This could include monitoring your sleep patterns, heart rate variability, blood pressure, or even tracking your daily activities using wearable devices. Analyzing these data points can help you identify patterns and make informed decisions about adjustments to your biohacking routines.
Remember, biohacking is a personal journey, and what works for one person may not work for another. Experimentation is key to finding the biohacking techniques that resonate with you. By implementing these top tips and listening to your body's signals, you can unlock your true potential and optimize your overall well-being.


GloNua BioHacking Tips:

What we eat and how we move, directly affects mood, function, body and all of the complex bio-chemical processes that go into make us who we are. Being aware of this is imperative in gaining the insight you require to take the initial steps towards a better you. As the founder of GloNua I feel it’s important to share some of these pillars and key aspects in a simple format to help you understand.

Diet
My regime is based on what I like to call M.E.A.L. (Meat, Eggs, Added oils, Leaves). I advise eating grass fed meats and non-farmed fish. Steaks are great, but there’s so many options when it comes to good quality meat. After a workout or pre bed sometimes I’ll have a protein shake. I don’t eat that many carbohydrates, but they are cycled in and out as they do contain fibre, and at times on Keto, science has found that we can get the benefits utilising such cyclical patterns. Everybody is slightly different, from gender, to age and daily routines, so see what works for you. I do occasionally enjoy a sweet treat after my main meal (I am human). Replace the highly processed industrial mono-cropped agriculture: refined grains, sugar and seed oils with our ancestral diet rich in animal meat, fish, fat and organs (
Collagen/gelatine rich) foods.



Try to avoid a much as possible:
Sugar, Seed oils, High Fructose Corn Syrup, Trans fats, Refined carbs. These are all present in so many processed foods or packaged foods, just
check the labels.


Intermittent Fasting
Practice Intermittent Fasting. I have implemented it in my life in various forms for years and it has delivered many benefits including better energy, better mood and better cognitive function (
also covered in our blog page in depth).

GloNua believe the keto approch to eating is by far a very successful and a maintainable weight management strategy. Historically, the ketogenic diet was used as a treatment for specific conditions such as pediatric epilepsy, more recently attention has been given to its application in the treatment of cancer, type-2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s Disease, and more. Today, weight loss, often seen as a side effect of ketogenic therapies, is being explored as a single entity, and it is no secret that many people have experienced amazing success with the diet. That is also why we consider it a valid approach for body condition, brain health and weight loss. GloNua aim to aid you on your journey toward better health. Many scientific research studies now explore this in depth pointing toward the rationale for how the ketogenic diet can be used to create a more favourable metabolic state, less ree radicals, reduced inflammation and required calorie deficit needed for meaningful weight loss.

For individuals needing to lose weight for the sake of their health and wellbeing, finding a strategy that works for you can be extremely liberating. Not only is weight loss accompanied with a decreased risk of several major chronic diseases, but it can increase your quality of life. There is no doubt that there is an emotional component to one’s weight loss journey, and we strongly believe the information in our Blog can set you on the path to better health.
