5 Biohacking Secrets to Help You Feel Young Forever

Stay Energized, Healthy, and Full of Life with These Simple Biohacks

Looking for ways to feel younger, healthier, and more energized—without relying on expensive treatments or synthetic supplements? These simple yet powerful biohacking strategies, recommended by expert Barbara O’Neil, can help you reset your body, support your cellular health, and keep you glowing from the inside out. Here’s how to get started:

1. Get Sensible Sun Exposure 

Sunlight is vital for synthesizing vitamin D, balancing hormones, and maintaining mental well-being. But, too much or too little can be harmful.
Barbara O’Neil suggests gradual sun exposure:

• Start with 15 minutes on the front and 15 minutes on the back of your body, maybe twice a day depending on your skin type.
• Fair-skinned individuals like Barbara avoid sunscreen due to concerns about toxic ingredients. Instead, they focus on timing their sun exposure and listening to their bodies’ needs.

2. Hydrate Smartly

Drinking water is essential, but how you drink it matters! Rather than gulping down large quantities at once, Barbara recommends sipping half a glass throughout the day to avoid overwhelming your body.
To improve absorption, add Celtic sea salt the size of a sesame seed to each glass. This simple trick helps your body retain and absorb the water where it’s needed the most.

3. Wear Natural, Breathable Clothing

In hot weather, your body can absorb more from what touches your skin. That’s why Barbara advises wearing breathable, natural fabrics like linen and cotton during the summer.
Long, flowing skirts or pants with three-quarter sleeves keep you cool, comfortable, and properly covered—especially in air-conditioned spaces.

4. Eat Fresh, Local, and Organic

Eating seasonal, organic foods is key to a vibrant life. O’Neil emphasizes the importance of eating fresh fruits and vegetables, especially during the summer.
She starts each day with fruit and kicks off lunch with a healthy salad made from local, organic ingredients like crisp lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, avocados, and a healthy protein source like lentils or chickpeas.

5. Get Grounded—Literally

Barbara is a big advocate of earthing—the practice of walking barefoot outdoors to reconnect with the Earth’s natural energy.
Walking barefoot on the ground is incredibly effective for reducing inflammation, boosting your mood, and especially helpful after long flights or when recovering from jet lag.
