Independent reporter Holly Baxter profiles women who adopt advanced biohacking tools—from PEMF and intranasal red-light devices to personalised nutrition and monitoring—to optimise bone strength, sleep, and metabolic health and prepare for menopause.

Key points

  • Women integrate PEMF mats at home for inflammation reduction and cellular recovery, inspired by veterinary uses.
  • Advanced biohacking tech like NanoVi oxygen delivery, intranasal photobiomodulation, and LYMA lasers support brain, skin, and hair protocols.
  • Biomarker tracking via Oura rings and bioelectrical impedance scales guides personalized nutrition, exercise, and hormone-cycle-based therapies.

Q&A

  • What is PEMF therapy?
  • How does intranasal photobiomodulation work?
  • What metrics does an Oura ring track?

The new biohackers: Inside the quiet rebellion of women upgrading their bodies

The Longevity Doctor clinic, led by anti-ageing specialist Dr Philip Borg, conducts over 150 biomarker assays, a Trudiagnostic Biological Age test, DEXA scans and VO₂ max evaluation. Integrating metabolic monitoring, body composition and fitness profiling, the clinic formulates personalized preventive and training protocols to optimize healthspan and mitigate age-related risks.

Key points

  • Over 150 blood biomarkers and a Trudiagnostic Biological Age assay quantify cellular ageing relative to chronological age.
  • Continuous glucose monitoring and VO₂ max testing evaluate metabolic and cardiovascular fitness for personalized health profiling.
  • Full-body DEXA scans and ultrasound screenings assess organ health and bone density, guiding targeted resistance training to improve muscle mass and longevity.

Why it matters: Data-driven longevity assessments create a paradigm shift toward preventive, personalized health interventions that slow biological ageing and reduce disease burden.

Q&A

  • What is biological age?
  • How does the Trudiagnostic Biological Age test work?
  • Why is muscle mass important for longevity?
  • What role does continuous glucose monitoring play?
  • How often should one repeat a longevity assessment?

I went to a ‘longevity doctor’ to find out how to biohack my health and live forever

Wellness entrepreneur Kayla Barnes collaborates with clinicians to implement a comprehensive biohacking regimen, employing technologies such as PEMF mats, Oura ring biometrics, red/blue light therapy, and hyperbaric oxygen. By customizing nutrition, exercise, and recovery protocols to menstrual cycles, this approach seeks to fortify bone density, optimize metabolic health, and slow age-related decline in women seeking personalized longevity solutions.

Key points

  • Daily biohacking integrates PEMF therapy, red/blue light, and hyperbaric oxygen for systemic health benefits.
  • Biometric tracking with Oura ring and bioelectrical impedance guides personalized nutrition, sleep, and exercise adjustments.
  • Hormonal-cycle alignment informs sauna, cold therapy, and oxygen protocols to optimize bone density and metabolic function.
  • Advanced modalities—NanoVi oxygen delivery, intranasal photobiomodulation, LYMA Laser—target cellular repair and cognitive support.
  • Continuous monitoring of telomere length and metabolic markers underpins protocol efficacy and long-term healthspan goals.

Q&A

  • What is pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy?
  • How does red and blue light therapy work?
  • What benefits does hyperbaric oxygen deliver?
  • How does the Oura ring guide longevity practices?
