“Biohack” Your Life Like a Billionaire?! Here’s How

By Dr. Scott Olson, ND Posted May 29, 2025

You’ve probably seen the headlines about the billionaire who spent millions on “biohacking” to try to make himself younger.

He measures hundreds of biomarkers and pops dozens of pills daily. And he’s undergoing experimental treatments that cost more than most folks’ houses.

It may have left you wondering if regular people like you and I can do the same. Can we also biohack our way to longer, healthier lives?

Or is this just another playground for the ultra-wealthy?

I’ve watched biohacking evolve from a fringe movement to the mainstream.

I’ve learned is that there’s a massive gap between evidence-backed practices that actually work and the expensive, unproven treatments that get all the headlines.

The term “biohacking” sounds like we’re reprogramming our DNA with a laptop. But most legitimate biohacking involves simply applying scientific knowledge to optimize health.

It’s something humans have done forever, just without the Silicon Valley rebrand.

Let’s separate the wheat from the chaff…

The billionaire crowd is diving into treatments like young blood plasma transfusions (yes, literally receiving blood from younger people), stem cell injections in multiple organs, experimental peptide therapies, and hyperbaric oxygen chambers in their homes.

They’re spending millions on personalized supplements based on their genome and microbiome, with teams of doctors monitoring their every biological function.

Does this stuff work? The honest answer is: we don’t really know yet.

These are essentially uncontrolled experiments on wealthy individuals, with little peer-reviewed evidence to back them up.

But the good news is that the most proven, scientifically-backed biohacks are simple, affordable, and accessible to everyone:

• Intermittent fasting: When you restrict eating to an eight-to-ten-hour window, it costs nothing but has impressive benefits for cellular health and longevity in study after study.
• Cold exposure: A three-minute cold shower at the end of your regular shower can activate fat-burning brown fat, reduce inflammation, and boost immune function—no costly cryotherapy chamber required.
• Heat stress: Regular sauna use (if you have access) or simply exercising to the point of sweating is linked to significant reductions in all-cause mortality.
• Quality sleep: Optimizing your sleep environment with blackout curtains and keeping your bedroom on the cool side costs a fraction of fancy “biohack” treatments but delivers guaranteed benefits for brain health, immunity, and cellular repair.
• Strategic exercise: A mix of strength training and cardiovascular work, particularly high-intensity interval training, triggers many of the same regenerative pathways those expensive treatments aim to activate.
• Plant-focused diet: Emphasizing colorful vegetables, berries, nuts, seeds, and healthy fats provides the building blocks your body needs for repair and rejuvenation.

You can live longer and better. Start with proven, affordable (or free) biohacks that fit your lifestyle. Master your sleep, exercise, nutrition, and stress management. Then consider adding evidence-based supplements like vitamin D, magnesium, or omega-3s if testing shows they’re needed.

P.S. Discover the REAL key to aging well. (Hint: It’s NOT in your genes.)
