How can you find out how well your brain is working ?? 👉🏼Setting a baseline is helpful to start tracking your brain health. . Good news: No need to pay for expensive tests. . ✅There’s a FREE platform by Quantified Mind that used scientifically validated psychometrics to develop a comprehensive cognitive assessment tool that simply requires you and your computer. That’s it ! 🙆🏻‍♀️This isn’t an ad and I’m not affiliated with them in any way – just literally wanted to share a great free tool with y’all ! . Their tests are patterned on scientifically validated and widely trusted assessments that measure: ✅Reaction time ✅Executive function ✅Verbal learning ✅Working and short term memory ✅Visual perception and cognition skills ✅Motor skills . 💥Soooo time to test your brain health and start optimizing: www.quantified-mind.com . #upgradeyourself . . . . . #biohack #biohacker #optimizeyourhealth #optimizeyourlife #canadianbiohacker #wellnessblogger #torontobiohacker #toronto #fitness #motivation #biohacking

Ben will speak about his #biohacking journey and dive deep into neuro hacking🧠, cognitive enhancement💆🏻‍♂️, and upgrading consciousness🧘🏻‍♀️, using exercise💪🏼as a vehicle. . 🎤The talk will be followed by a panel Q&A where Ben and Oksana will talk about their favourite biohacks and wellness tips. . 🙋🏻‍♀️Come out. Learn. Ask questions. . 👉🏼Grab your tickets - link in bio! . #upgradeyourself . . . . . #biohack #biohacker #optimizeyourhealth #optimizeyourlife #canadianbiohacker #wellnessblogger #torontobiohacker #toronto #fitness #motivation #biohacking
  • I find “biohacking” is a turn-off for those who are unfamiliar with it. . It sounds a little weird, right ? I hear ya. . Like, what are you “hacking”? Are you inserting chips into your body? Are you trying to become a robot? . But then they listen to what it is and they get it - sign me up! . How can you say no to wanting to optimize how you feel every day!? How can you say no to wanting to increase energy, improve cognitive speed and capacity, boost immune system, reduce inflammation, improve gut health, & slow down aging?? . Biohacking is all about modifying your internal and external environments to optimize your biology. . Yes, our genes play a role in setting the blueprint, but environment and lifestyle greatly affect our final health outcomes. And you have the power to take control. . #upgradeyourself . . . . . #biohack #biohacker #optimizeyourlife #canadianbiohacker #wellnessblogger #torontobiohacker #toronto #fitness #motivation #biohacking
  • Still can’t believe I did this ! . 🥶Took my first ICE BATH yesterday and it was exhilarating 🤩! . 🚿I’ve done cold showers leading up to this but this was next level🙌🏻 . HOW DID I DO IT? . 🛁No, I didn’t simply jump into ice filled water. We went through several rounds of #wimhofmethod breathing sequences that heighten the oxygen levels in the body and make you more resilient. . 👃The breathing method works to boost energy, reduce stress levels, and improve the immune response. . This is CONSCIOUS CONTROL of the immune system. . Wild, right !? . ❄️It also primes your body for cold exposure. 💦Cold water therapy then works to reduce inflammation, further fortify the immune system, balance hormone levels, improve sleep quality, and produce feel-good endorphins in the brain. . Challenge yourself. You’d be surprised how much your body is capable of. . #upgradeyourself . . . . . #biohack #biohacker #optimizeyourhealth #optimizeyourlife #canadianbiohacker #wellnessblogger #torontobiohacker #toronto #fitness #motivation #biohacking
  • Get out of your comfort zone !❄️ . We've all become so comfortable. . As we age, our homeostatic capacity goes down. . 👉🏼That's our body's ability to self-stabilize and re-calibrate in response to external stressors. Whatever happened to being EXCITED to roll around in the snow as a kid !? . 💥Hot and ❄️cold exposure is a way to improve this response AND MORE👇🏼 . ✅Turns out extreme exposure to COLD is actually good for our health, improving metabolism, reducing inflammation, burning off brown fat, improving learning memory, and focus, and improving longevity. ALL THE GOOD STUFF ! . 🇨🇦So yes, in Canada, we’re LUCKY to have cold outdoor weather for most of the year to take polar dips and roll around in snow ! . But even for those in warm weather locations, ice baths offer a cheap alternative to $70+ cryotherapy sessions. . 🛁No need to spend tons of money - just get some ice and a bathtub/blow-up pool ! . #upgradeyourself . . . . . #biohack #biohacker #optimizeyourlife #canadianbiohacker #wellnessblogger #torontobiohacker #toronto #fitness #motivation #biohacking #biohackingsecrets #wimhofmethod #cryotherapy
  • All smiles after the ice water dip!❄️ . 🙌🏻BIG thanks to Steve @breathinginnature for leading an awesome Wim Hof method workshop today ! . ❄️There were about 40 people in attendance and EVERYONE took a dip in the ice bath at the end of it. Some people even went two or three times ! Brave ! . 💪🏼That’s what I call success ! . For those interested in trying wim hof method breathing or even dive in and work yourself up to an ice water dip, @breathinginnature is running DAILY wim hof method breathing classes at @mindsetbraingym and regular ice bath workshops. . #upgradeyourself . . . . . #biohack #biohacker #optimizeyourlife #canadianbiohacker #wellnessblogger #torontobiohacker #toronto #fitness #biohacking #biohackingsecrets #wimhofmethod #cryotherapy
  • The clinic of the future👩🏻‍⚕️👨🏽‍⚕️ . This is the coolest news I’ve seen this week😎 . 🎉Introducing Lab100, a hybrid clinic and research facility developed by Cactus for New York’s Mount Sinai Hospital, redesigning the way health is measured and delivered. . 🙌🏻A step toward predictive computer-modelling on human health. . ✅Patients are guided through a series of stations - incorporating VR, touch screens, live video, and body/gesture tracking - to measure, report and contextualize different biomarkers like cognition, blood chemistry and body composition. . Can’t wait to see how this concept works and check it out for myself. . 🙋🏻‍♀️Here’s to more quantified health initiatives and preventative healthcare. . 📸: @cactus.is . #upgradeyourself . . . . . #biohack #biohacker #optimizeyourhealth #optimizeyourlife #canadianbiohacker #wellnessblogger #torontobiohacker #toronto #newyork #biohacking #biohackingsecrets #healthisyourwealth
  • @upgradelabs 6th annual biohacking conference🤩 . 📸Photo with @_dashofhealth & @soulful_publicist 💛 . @_dashofhealth - this girl is an absolute gem of a human and taking on the huge task of organizing the @healthoptimisationsummit with @timbiohackeruk coming up this September 14-15. If you’re into optimizing your health and performance, you should 100% reach✅. . 🧠Aside from that, she’s has healed her brain after 6 concussions❗️and thriving 👉🏼check out her interview on @growthisland.io podcast (post linked in my story) if you or a loved one has suffered a concussion or brain injury. . @soulful_publicist - a ray of sunshine and joy✨keep glowing - until next time !

  • How long are your telomeres? . 👨🏽‍⚕️This week I met with Dr. Mansoor Mohammed, a renowned clinical geneticist trained at UCLA, to review my genomic test report. Having majored in genetics at U of T, it was cool for me to put my genetics knowledge to use and have an informed discussion. . 🧬One of the things I learned is my methylation profile. Turns out it is GREAT. Thanks mom and dad! . Methylation is involved in a number of vital biochemical pathways: ✔️DNA/RNA synthesis and repair ✔️Protein metabolism ✔️Neurotransmitter synthesis ✔️Hormone synthesis ✔️Cell division ✔️Detoxification and anti-inflammation process . My genotypes were OPTIMAL across all of the genes below, implicated in methylation: ✅MTHFR gene ✅MTR gene ✅SHMT1 and MTRR genes . The MTR gene is also associated with longer TELOMERES when functioning optimally. . So why do I care about TELOMERES !? . Telomeres are like plastic tips on shoelaces when it comes to your DNA. They keep it from unraveling and losing genetic information. . Each time a cell divides, telomeres get shorter. . This telomeres shortening process is associated with aging, cancer, and higher risk of death. . I’m so THRILLED to know that my genes are setting me up for success when it comes to longevity. Just gotta take care of that environmental effects bit. But WOOP I’m so happy ! . I’ll be sharing more learnings from my genomics report readout - as I said there were A LOT but was excited to share this tidbit right away :) . #upgradeyourself . . . . . #biohack #biohacker #antiaging #optimizeyourlife #canadianbiohacker #wellnessblogger #toronto #biohacking #biohackingsecrets #healthisyourwealth
