What most biohackers don’t understand about health

The self is the greatest technology for health and longevity

Medicine comes in many forms, and after nearly 2 decades of practice I do believe that self understanding is the most effective medicine. To know thyself is to heal thyself and when you understand how the technology of the self works, all forms of medicine are more effective. Let me say that again because it’s so important- when you understand HOW the technology that you are works, every form of medicine, from supplements and medications to talk therapy and plant medicine is more effective. This is why all of my work starts with an orientation to the technology of self. This is also why so many of my clients experience a major breakthrough in our first session together- because once you understand how it all works, all the things you are already doing become increasingly effective and the results are exponential.

You are the greatest technology for healing on the planet. And the cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth is absolutely perfect, so there is nothing to hack. Why would we want to outsmart the perfect intelligence of nature? One thing that happens when we begin to understand the technology of the self is that we recognize the presence of the great mystery within us. And that mystery holds an intelligence that is more precise and grandiose than the human mind can ever understand. Rather than being afraid of the invisible unknown and attempting to outsmart it by hacking our biology, we can learn to embrace it. We can learn to use it to help us navigate the darkest parts of the healing journey- the territory that even science cannot explain. We can learn to use it to create miracles, radical remissions and spontaneous recoveries. When can learn to relax into the current of life (and death at times) and allow healing to happen. 

If this sounds woo woo to you, stay with me because I am prepared to convince you that spirituality is as essential to your health and your biology is. And when we’re biohacking we are literally turning away from the spiritual quadrant of self and choosing to limit our true healing potential.
