Kayla Barnes-Lents is a biohacker who has taken some serious steps to slow down her biological clock by ten years, some of her secrets include various contrast therapies. Her anti-aging lifestyle also includes sleeping in a Faraday cage to keep out certain harmful electromagnetic radiation while she slumbers which she believes may accelerate cellular aging, and increase the risk of immune system decline, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases.
This biohacker and wellness aficionado lives a meticulous anti-aging daily routine and has “dedicated herself to the pursuit of preventive and regenerative methodologies aimed at optimizing female human health.” She suggests that she is a longevity expert, and she is the proprietor of LYV The Wellness Space which combines personalized medicine “with the most advanced biology upgrading therapies.” Kayla says that her biological age is a decade younger than her chronological age. She shares some of her journey on various websites and social media, including some of her Female Longevity Optimization Protocols.
“I’m aiming to reach 150. There are so many technologies and advancements that are coming, especially with AI, and I think that living so healthily will mean I will be able to partake in these advancements during my lifespan,” she says.
Strict and structured lifestyle
She explains that she lives a very strict and structured lifestyle which features consuming 20 different supplements, regular infrared sauna bathing sessions, and an hour-long session in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber to boost blood flow and cell oxygenation. For her biohacker lifestyle, she also says that she gets yearly platelet-rich fibrin injections in her mouth to reduce inflammation and promote tissue regeneration. Her lifestyle practices are part of biohacker trends attempting to turn back the clock on aging, adopting comprehensive wellness routines designed to boost health and vitality as well as extend lifespan.
Daily routine
Her routine may not be as strict as some other popular biohackers, but is still rather intricate, and probably unsustainable as well as unaffordable for the majority of us. She begins her morning by brushing her teeth which includes scraping her tongue and the use of electromagnetic field therapy, which is followed by some breathing exercises, prayer, meditation, and a protein-enriched coffee. She tries to get as much morning sunlight exposure as she can which she feels is important to stimulate wakefulness. Then she combines strength training with cardiovascular exercises to fully kick start her day.
During the day she works in 90-minute sessions taking frequent breaks in which she walks to incorporate achieving 15,000 steps into her schedule to help her maintain cardiovascular health. During the afternoon she takes a cold plunge for another energy boost and uses a whole-body vibration plate to help support her lymphatic detoxification and bone health. At night she goes to bed at 8:30 PM and sleeps in a Faraday cage in her bedroom that is equipped with blackout conditions, multiple air filters, and an organic mattress with a grounding pad to minimize EMF interference, which she explains all contributes to her biohacker holistic health forward anti-aging lifestyle.
What’s with the Faraday cage?
So you may be asking, what’s with sleeping in a Faraday cage, and you wouldn’t be the only one. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) omnipresent invisible electrical/magnetic waves that travel through space have been shown to influence adverse microscopic particles in the air which can weaken our immune system and are associated with accelerated aging.
Not all EMFs are man-made, the Earth also has an EMF, but those produced by electrical devices and those that transmit signals, including Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and cellular signals can be harmful or beneficial depending on the intensity, frequency and duration as well as the cells in our body that they affect.
Some experts warn against man-made EMFs, especially high-frequency EMFs like the 5G technology recently launched in 2019. Some studies suggest that EMFs could potentially have therapeutic effects in certain neurological diseases, however, more studies suggest that chronic exposure to EMFs triggers neurodegenerative diseases. Additionally, similar results can also be found for cancer.
As for accelerated aging, some of the biological drivers of aging include senescent cells, oxidative stress, DNA damage, and inflammation, all of which and more have been shown to be induced by EMFs, suggesting that it can accelerate aging at the cellular level. It is for this reason that Kayla Barnes-Lents isn’t taking any chances and is taking proactive steps to mitigate any potential risk of chronic EMF exposure from modern technology during the most crucial time during sleep her body uses to rest and recover.
Biohacker journey
Biohacker journeys can be different for everyone, depending on how much effort you want to apply, your resources, and how much money you can or can’t afford to spend.
For example, Mary Ní Lochlainn is another biohacker who is also a research scientist in geriatric medicine at King’s College London has been applying much of what she has learned through her research to create a simple and sustainable longevity-promoting lifestyle with healthful daily routines.
Then we have Bryan Johnson who spends an estimated $2 million a year on a biohacking journey. There is also Kenneth Scott, another biohacker who spends more than $70,000 a year trying to DIY his way into reversing aging.
We also have Dr. David Sinclair who works to translate scientific data into daily practice, developing an age-reversing routine that leverages synergy to create a replicable framework for age optimization.
The longevity therapy market is booming, in part thanks to biohackers, reaching $27.1 billion last year and it is projected to reach $44.9 billion by 2031, according to market research conducted by InsightAce Analytics. What an exciting time we all witness and live in.
