The Longevity & Lifestyle Podcast

Welcome to a slightly different episode where I, your host Claudia, share with you 6 of my biohacking tips that I’ve used to optimize health, sleep, gut health, improve blood sugar levels, enhance performance and help reverse and prevent chronic diseases! My personal journey has taken me through a multitude of chronic diseases, leaving me feeling depleted and energy drained - so much so that I was exhausted even climbing the stairs! I decided enough was enough, with two young children and only in my mid-30s I knew I had to take matters into my own hands. And so began my mission to biohack my body and mind back to optimal health.  Thanks to GlycanAge, I have discovered that by following these hacks I have reversed my biological age by 11 years!  It is an absolute pleasure to be sharing with you the very same hacks that I discovered when I needed them most, and I sincerely hope that they help you too. Why? Because I believe we all deserve to thrive so we can fulfill our true human potential! Please enjoy! --- If you enjoyed the podcast, please subscribe to the podcast.
