In this short video, Claudia von Boeselager, founder of Longevity and Lifestyle, shares her first biohacking tip focused on improving sleep. She explains that by using an Oura Ring sleep tracker together with a Levels continuous glucose monitor, she discovered she was experiencing nocturnal hypoglycemia caused by an early dinner aimed at extending her intermittent fasting window. The low blood sugar triggered cortisol spikes that woke her multiple times each night. To counter this, she began taking a spoonful of unsweetened, palm‑oil‑free almond butter before bed, which stabilized her glucose levels, reduced night awakenings, and left her feeling rested and alert during the day. She also mentions having biohacked her biological age to be 11 years younger than her chronological age and invites viewers to comment, share their own sleep hacks, and subscribe.

Hi, I'm Claudia von Boeselager, founder of Longevity and Lifestyle. Welcome to my biohacking tips that I've used over several years to optimize my body, mind, and lifestyle. As a result, I've biohacked my biological age to 11 years younger than my chronological age. Biohacking tip number 1: sleep and almond butter. We all know how important sleep is, but only until I used my Oura Ring sleep tracker together with the data from my Levels Health continuous glucose monitor, did I figure out that I was waking up several times a night, often unknown to me. The cause: I was eating dinner early to maximize my intermittent fasting window, but this was causing hypoglycemia, or blood sugar dropping very low during the night, which in turn caused a cortisol response that was effectively waking me up several times a night. The solution: a spoonful of almond butter before sleep. Make sure you use an almond butter that has no palm oil nor added sugar if you want to try this hack. My sleep quality has improved and no more waking up needlessly during the night, leaving me feeling rested and alert during the day. Do you suffer from interrupted sleep?
