The concept of biohacking has been around for a while now, and the term can encompass everything from tracking your sleep to getting a blood transfusion from a younger person in an effort to fight aging. Yes. Really. The idea is to find ways in which we can harness the fullest potential of our bodies so that we may perform at our best in whatever we do. The term biohacking can be a deterrent to some, as the more extreme methods are often the ones that come to mind when discussing its merits.
Our guests today are Lauren Berlingeri and Katie Kaps, co-founders of HigherDose. Their goal is to make biohacking more approachable and remove some of the stigmas that comes with it by designing products like the infra-red sauna blanket that can easily be used in a home and by educating their community on the benefits of routine self-care and wellness.
Listen in as we cover everything from why biohacking has never appealed to a broad spectrum of women, why it was hard for them to be taken seriously the first time they raised money, and why they decided to offer themselves up as test subjects for the most extreme bio-hacks on the market.
