Biohacking with Brittany

Welcome to another 12 Holiday Rituals episode! Todd Shipman of Leela Quantum Tech (code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY) unpacks what quantum energy actually is and how it may protect your body from invisible stressors like EMFs, support nervous system regulation, and even speed up physical healing.

In this solo episode, I unpack the retreat in the Florida Keys that quietly rewired everything for me – my health, my business, and how I'm designing the Costa Rica women's health retreat and my new private community. I share what actually created the transformation (hint: it wasn't more biohacks), what every woman at the retreat admitted she was struggling with, and why I now believe women's longevity is built on nervous system peace, intuition, and softness more than data, metrics, or another stack of supplements.
