What is Biohacking?

What exactly is biohacking, and how can you separate science from sales hype? In this engaging panel discussion, bioEDGE Coach founder Sandy Martin brings together two distinctly different yet successful longevity practitioners to explore the real foundations of health optimization. Jean Fallacara from Lifespanning and Dave Pascoe, a dedicated longevity enthusiast, share their personal journeys and contrasting approaches to biohacking.

The conversation dives deep into practical strategies, from Jean's brain-first optimization philosophy and minimal supplement approach to Dave's comprehensive 140+ supplement protocol that helped reverse his biological age from 68 to under 50. You'll discover why both experts agree that biohacking "starts with no"—eliminating processed foods and environmental toxins before adding interventions. The panel explores supplement cycling strategies, the role of telomere testing in tracking progress, and why individual responses vary so dramatically.

Beyond protocols and products, this discussion addresses the democratization of longevity science and moving beyond the "cultish" aspects of biohacking. The panelists share honest insights about their mistakes, what actually worked, and the fundamental basics that anyone can implement: quality sleep, nutrient-dense nutrition, regular movement, and perhaps most importantly, cultivating happiness as the foundation for all health optimization efforts.

Whether you're just starting your health optimization journey or looking to refine your approach, this panel offers practical, evidence-based guidance from practitioners who've tested these strategies on themselves. You'll leave with actionable insights on building a sustainable biohacking practice that fits your lifestyle, budget, and goals—proving that effective longevity strategies don't require breaking the bank or following someone else's exact protocol.
