heading outside like a dirty barefoot hippie all the time.

Well, you can use grounding or earthing mats under your desk that you stand on.

You can, if you're like me, like sleep all night on a grounding or an earthing mat underneath the top sheet of the bed.

But now we can use biohacking technologies like cryotherapy chambers and infrared saunas and different tools like that to actually subject the body to the same type of beneficial temperature stressors that our ancestors would have naturally experienced.

You can even use biohacking technologies like pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, also known as PEMF, to concentrate those frequencies and deliver them in even stronger forms to the body.

And so that would be an example of biohacking the process of earthing or grounding in the same way that you could biohack the practice of red light.

So in many cases, I think that some of the more beneficial things

tools that we can find in modern science for enhancing the human body are simply mimicking and concentrating what primal humans would have experienced for thousands of years leading up to the advent of these technologies.

You know, we also know that, for example, fluctuations of temperature

induce cellular resilience and almost seem to enhance longevity and cause an anti-aging effect for the body.

And of course, anyone who's gone camping or hunting or spent a lot of time outdoors, again, kind of like that ancestral format or someone who say has the

And furthermore, they almost allow someone who's living

like a modern day post-industrial lifestyle to better simulate the beneficial aspects of a different human connection that was more connected to the planet.

the modern day privilege of working as a farmer or a construction worker or a painter or a roofer or something like that, they're more subjected to temperature extremes, right?

All the way down to like, you know, again, like the foraging for leaves and roots and berries and things like that.

Like you're really hot sometimes and you're really cold sometimes and you're not inside this comfortable air-conditioned, temperature-controlled box that a lot of us drive in, work in, fly in, live in, sleep in, etc.,

Well, now we have encapsulation technologies and powdering technologies that allow us

to grab a handful of capsules or make a morning smoothie in a fraction of the time that it would have taken our ancestors walking through the woods, finding all these antioxidants and supplements and roots and oils and berries.

But now we can use biohacking technologies like cryotherapy chambers and infrared saunas and different tools like that to actually subject the body to the same type of beneficial temperature stressors that our ancestors would have naturally experienced.

So yeah, those are a few examples of how you can either have modern science to biohack, to heal, to enhance the body,
