Bio Hacking
EMS is a powerful tool for bio hacking providing a full body workout in just one 20-minute session per week.
Biohacking is a form of personal improvement in which people attempt to change aspects of their biology to improve their health, performance, or well-being. It is not a scientific term nor an undertaking, rather, a currently popular term for broad, non-specific activities. People interested may focus on eating a healthy diet, taking supplements, exercise and meditation to extend their natural biological life
Bio hacking is the practice of using science, technology, and self-experimentation to optimize your own body and mind for better health, performance and longevity. It involves making small, targeted changes to your biology through methods like intermittent fasting, cold exposure, supplements, mindfulness, diet or exercise all with the goal of improving overall function, energy, and well-being.
People may want to hack their biology for various reasons, such as:
- Fix what they perceive as flaws
- Increase their perceived control over their health and wellness
- Try and extend their lives by reducing biological age
EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) Training is considered a powerful biohacking tool for optimizing fitness due to its time efficiency, deep muscle activation, enhanced recovery, and ability to deliver significant results in short sessions. Fitting perfectly with biohacking's goal of maximizing health and performance with minimal time investment, it uses electrical impulses to trigger intense muscle contractions, boosting strength, toning, metabolism, and even cognitive function, all while protecting joints.
Technology-based biohacking, such as smartwatches and body composition scanners, provides people with a wealth of data about their bodies, allowing them to attempt to alter their exercise performance through data analysis.
Our InBody full body composition scans are an excellent tool for biohacking because they provide precise, data-driven insights needed to measure the effectiveness of various health and wellness interventions. These scans offer a detailed, objective view of what is happening inside your body, allowing for highly targeted and personalized health optimization.
Red light therapy is considered an excellent tool for biohacking, largely due to its non-invasive nature and its ability to support natural biological processes at the cellular level. Biohacking aims to optimize health and performance, and red-light therapy (also known as photo biomodulation) is frequently integrated into wellness routines for a variety of benefits.
Benefits of EMS Training for Biohacking
- Time Efficient – Effective full-body workouts in just 20 minutes.
- Stimulates Cellular Renewal – At a cellular level, EMS stimulates extracellular matrix (ECM) regeneration, which helps improve tissue elasticity and recovery speed.
- Build Muscle Mass/Strength – EMS sends electrical impulses to muscles causing them to contract which can build muscle mass and significantly improve muscle strength.
- Reduce Body Fat – EMS can help reduce body fat by building lean muscle mass, boosting metabolism and increasing calorie burn.
- Enhance Body Composition – By simultaneously building muscle and burning fat, EMS improves overall body composition, making you look more toned.
- Enhance Muscle Activation – EMS triggers a massive number of involuntary muscle contractions, around 85 per second, including deep muscle tissue that is difficult to target with conventional exercise.
- High Muscle Recruitment – EMS recruits up to 90% of muscle fibres compared to about 60% for conventional workouts.
- Reduce Biological Age – EMS can significantly counteract several key physical markers associated with biological aging.
- Improve Functional Capacity – By strengthening muscles, especially in individuals who struggle to perform conventional resistance training, EMS improves mobility, balance, and overall physical function, which reduces the risk of falls.
- Boost Mood & Energy – EMS training can boost mood and energy, with benefits stemming from the same physiological responses as traditional exercise but amplified by the efficiency of EMS sessions.
- Low Impact & Joint Friendly – EMS is low impact and gentle on joints because it uses electrical impulses to contract muscles, allowing for effective strength training and rehabilitation without heavy loads or high-impact movements typical of traditional workouts.
- Improve Posture, Balance & Stability – EMS training significantly improves posture, balance and stability by intensely activating deep core muscles, back stabilisers and glutes which are crucial for spinal alignment and body control.
- Improve Core Strength – By strengthening postural muscles, EMS enhances core strength reduces lower back pain, and promotes better joint stability, leading to a better balance for daily activities.
- Corrects Imbalances – EMS addresses muscle weakness and imbalances that cause slouching and poor spinal alignment improving biomechanical fitness.
- Supports Bone Health – The mechanical tension created on bones during muscle contraction through EMS helps stimulate bone remodelling and strengthening.
- Enhanced Physical Function & Mobility – By increasing muscle strength and balance, EMS training improves functional capacity, making everyday activities easier.
- Relieve Non-Specific Back Pain – EMS is effective for reducing non-specific back pain by strengthening deep stabilizing muscles, improving posture, and correcting muscular imbalances.
Benefits of InBody Composition Scans
- Accurate Progress Tracking – InBody composition scans differentiate fat loss from muscle gain, showing true body transformation, which is crucial as muscle is denser than fat.
- Enhanced Motivation - Seeing detailed, positive changes in composition from InBody scans keeps motivation high, especially when scale weight isn't moving.
- Early Health Risk Detection – InBody scans identify visceral fat (around organs) linked to heart disease and diabetes.
- Personalised Plans – InBody data on muscle mass, fat distribution, and BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) allows tailoring nutrition and workouts for specific goals.
- Guides Lifestyle Adjustments – InBody scans offer precise feedback on how diet, exercise, aging, or medications impact your body's makeup.
- Metabolic/Biological Age – Provides a metabolic/biological age assessment which reflects your bodies efficiency compared to the median.
Benefits of Red-Light Therapy for Biohacking
- Skin Rejuvenation & Collagen Boost – Promotes collagen production and skin rejuvenation for firmer, smoother skin which contributes to a more youthful appearance and aids in the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improves Skin Texture – Reduces acne, scars, sun damage, and conditions like rosacea and eczema.
- Healing & Tissue Repair – Accelerates healing by increasing blood flow and collagen to supports the body’s natural repair process.
- Pain Relief and Joint Health – Helps ease inflammatory pain from conditions like arthritis, neck pain, and muscle soreness, and improves joint mobility.
- Muscle Recovery –Penetrates deep into the tissue, reducing inflammation and promoting cellular repair which speeds up post-exercise recovery and reduces muscle tension.
- Mood & Sleep – Research suggests positive effects on mood, potentially helping with SAD, and improving sleep patterns.
