Short Story: How I Started to do biohacking?
Before I kick start with defining Biohacking, let me tell you that I had been toying with the concept of “BioHacking” for a while. But, in 2018, after a deep and engrossing discussion with a friend, I began exploring the term in detail. I was professionally consulting him on PR, communication, reputation, digital & many other things. One day he asked me to join for travel to Jamshedpur for work. While I spent some time during his movie shoot in Jamshedpur, I also document a lot our brainstorming discussions. We had numerous discussions surrounding various theories from biology, engineering, and scientific principles (like Bakers transformation, Vortex math, Alpa Camasca). Interestingly, I started testing a lot of things including diet, schedule & Music therapies. Boy.. this triggered the spark.
As I absorbed more knowledge and read on the various theories surrounding biohacking & meditation, I was determined to experiment with those life-changing principles for self-improvement. I documented many discussions & I also did a few experiments like exploring Ayurveda, to finish one book a day on Blinkist/mentor box & many more.
Well, when I first heard the term biohacking, I was intrigued by the concept and began reading up on it. I realized that biohacking, although it is a blend of hit and trial experiments around my lifestyle, it involved plenty of tweaks to suit my body. Over a period of time, it impacted how I exercised, what I consumed, the manner I slept, my daily movement, and even the music I listened to.
Soon, my days were filled with constructive movements and activities that were otherwise spent doing nothing or mundane events without much relevance.
Incidentally, at around the same time, I started consulting one of the world’s largest wearable technology brand Huami Amazfit and tasked to launch it in India. I have to plan for the comprehensive marketing and communication strategy around it. In doing so, I began to test and review all the wearable products. I started running more, mapping sleeping data, testing out bugs & started behaving like fitness consumer to under their mindset.
