A core principle of both Ayurveda and biohacking is personalization.
Biohackers stress this same importance of tailoring interventions to meet your unique needs. In both Ayurveda and Biohacking, the mantra is clear: What works optimally for one person may not be the same for another.
This is why just buying supplements or doing 18:6 intermittent fasting isn't great for everyone. Of course, there are things we can all benefit from, like adaptogens and eating fresh, clean, organic food. But if we're talking bio-optimizing, it's got to be custom-fit.
You guys have already heard about Constitutions in Ayurveda. And...you likely already know that I don't think we should focus here.
Most "type yourself" is a marketing gimmick to get you to buy a product.
Focus on your Current State. Simply stated, we want to support where you are at now, not how you were created (Constitution).
I use Current State to customize my daily wellness choices - what I'm eating, taking herbally, who I'm engaging with and even what kind of music I'm vibing with.
Bio-optimization starts with what is a good fit for your needs now. (btw, if you have my book or Commune course, use the Current State assessment).
Your body possesses innate healing abilities, and both Biohacking and Ayurveda are all about supporting the tissues to feel so good that they do what they do well (and better than we can artificially maneuver). For example, a nourished pancreas delivers digestive enzymes much more effectively than taking a pill of enzymes.
So, rejuvenative approaches are key in both fields.
Personally, I see Ayurveda as the O.G biohacking system, and in this blogpost I draw that out (for my fellow nerds ;)).
The good news is that if you are using rejuvenative tools and practices, and customizing for your patterns today in any way, you are biohacking!
