The Ultimate Health Optimization & Biohacking Gift Guide 2022

Hello everyone, welcome to another episode of the Longevity and Lifestyle Podcast. I'm Claudia von Boeselager, and this is a little bit of a different episode because it's that time of year. The holidays are upon us, and that big question always arises: what would be the perfect gift to give and receive. At Longevity and Lifestyle, we've taken some of the stress out of this and put an ultimate gift guide together for you so that you can give the gift of life and health optimization to those you love. We've also put an ebook together for you with all the details and including the special links and discount codes available for you so that your loved ones can also know what they can give you too. Just go to LL www.giftguide.com to download the ebook with all the details. So how about giving the gift of sleep optimization? Well, first of all, if you follow Longevity and Lifestyle, you know we talk about this a lot, but it is just so essential. Why is sleep optimization so important? Well, as we know, our body and mind need sleep. Many of us struggle with it and we don't get enough quality sleep. It's so essential for every process in the body. It affects our physical and our mental functioning and how we show up the next day, or each day for that matter. Also supports our ability to fight disease, right? And it supports our immunity, our metabolism. Getting quality sleep helps us avoid chronic disease risks as well. So truly fundamental benefits of good sleep. On the other side, it helps to improve concentration, productivity, boosts longevity, helps with a better mental state and showing up as the better version of ourselves, and It also supports our hormones, immune system, inflammation in the body, helps to fight fat, muscle recovery. The list can go on and on. We've picked out a few things to help support better sleep, and one is an eye mask. And I don't know about you, but I have quite light-sensitive eyes. So particularly in the summer months where it gets light very early, I tend to wake up before the time that I do actually want to get up. Depending on where I am. But also, if you travel or if you're in a space that doesn't have 100% blackout curtains, it's really helpful to have a cool eye mask. And one that we really like is from Manta Sleep. It's 100% blackout sleep mask. It's soft, breathable, made from durable materials, and there's zero pressure on the eyelids or eyelashes, which I find some of those eye masks do have, and this gets around that. The benefits is that it helps prevent dry eyes. It's obviously block box light, which will ensure better sleep and can even help to relieve headaches as well. If you travel a lot, also, this is a great thing. It's compact, easy to travel with, and great quality. So go to llgiftguide.com to download the ebook, and you can find the links for Manta Sleep's eye mask there. Another popular one is the Oura sleep tracker. I've talked about this before for those avid followers, and it's been a real game changer for me by better understanding, A, the actual length of time I was spending in bed, actually asleep versus awake, and then also the different sleep cycle and phases that were going on. Oura Ring is really thought to be the gold standard of sleep tracking. It's a ring, for those unfamiliar. It has little sensors on the inside of them. Don't really notice it, feel it. It's just like you're wearing a ring regularly, and it helps you to track the quality of your sleep as well as the quantity. It looks at the different sleep stages you go through, so light sleep, deep sleep, your REM sleep, and obviously the time you spend awake as well. It caught up, for example, for me, that I was continuously waking up during the night, and I was able to address it accordingly. It also will track your activity during the day, body temperature, your heart rate, your heart rate variability, which is a great stress indicator. And the newer versions also will track the blood oxygen SpO2 levels. You also will get a sleep score, an activity score, and it will also give you some personal recommendations. So there's a lot of information that is available. You don't need to know every little last detail of the information. Obviously you can if you want to, but it's a really great way to start tracking and monitoring getting quality sleep and seeing what is happening each night for you. Why we love it? Well, it's sleek, easy to use, easy to wear. It's pretty accurate as well. They also take data privacy very seriously and don't sell on the data to third parties, which I think is essential. They also have an airplane mode. I don't know if everyone knows that, but obviously some people are concerned about Bluetooth connectivity, EMF radiation. So I just flip it into airplane mode during the night, and then in the morning when I sync it and turn on again. You get all the data that way as well. So again, go to llgiftguide.com to download the guide, and the links are inside there for you. Another one that is great and really important is blue light blocking glasses from TrueDark. So blue light, as many of you will know, is also known as junk light, and after sundown it's not good for our brain, which confuses the blue light for sunlight and has other detrimental consequences as well. It also prevents the hormone melatonin, which we need for winding down and getting to sleep, inhibits that. The activity of the brain overnight, if we're exposed to too much blue light close to bedtime, continues because it thinks it's daylight and messes up our circadian rhythms. So a great solution is using blue light blocking glasses, and one that we really like are from TrueDark. It was actually a brand that was co-founded by biohacker Dave Asprey, which I'm sure many of you will know, and it helps people take more control of lighting around them because we can't always choose where we go, you know, out for dinner or if we're working late, if we're in the office that has a lot of blue light. This is just an easy hack to filter out those harmful lights day or night. You can consider it as noise cancellation headphones for your eyes. It protects your internal processes from disruption, chaos, and noise of the world, which will essentially help you to sleep, feel, and live better. Why we love it, as we said before, to maintain the circadian rhythms and that sleep-wake cycle. It filters Junk Light, which will help you to work and live smarter, sleep deeper, and feel at your best. So go to llgiftguide.com, and in there you'll find the link for the glasses as well. Next cool biohack for improving your sleep are mattress cooling devices. Sleep temperature really plays a key role in getting quality sleep, and it's not just room temperature. Many people, particularly men, struggle with this and wake up at night because it's just too hot. Women typically have the other side, they like it nice and warm and cozy. So the beauty of these sleeping mats, you can actually have two different temperatures on each side of the bed for you and your partner, which is quite cool as well. And you can really adjust it to get the right temperature for you to get that quality deep sleep during the night. Chili Sleep, other products boast physical temperature changes between 5.6 and 8.3 degrees Celsius, and so it will match your body's heat load and improve the quality of sleep and comfort. With Chili Sleep, it's water-powered temperature control, and then they also have the personalized sleep climate control for one side of the bed or two, so you can decide. So this is just a really cool way to help you fall asleep faster, to wake up less, to increase recovery, also save on your energy bills, right? Because you will need less air conditioning to keep the room cooler. It's also personalized, which I think is great. It helps to also increase heart rate variability and gives you some biometric data like heart rate, HRV, respiratory respiratory rate, time slept, sleep stages, and disturbances, and more. So again, if you go to llgiftguide.com, you can get the free guide with the link to Chili Sleep. Another area that we want to share with you is how to grow younger with red light therapy. So how does it work? Well, red light is thought to work by producing a biochemical effect in the cells that strengthens the mitochondria. So mitochondria, for those unfamiliar, is like the energy or battery packs of each cell. They're the powerhouses where the cell's energy is created. And by increasing the function of mitochondria using the red light therapy, a cell can make more ATP. So basically, you're essentially creating more energy in the cells, and it helps them to function more efficiently, rejuvenate themselves as well, and also to repair damage. You may have heard of red light therapy by other names. There are like photobiomodulation, low-level light therapy, soft laser therapy, and low-power laser therapy. There's a bunch of different names, but essentially it's this red light therapy. And the benefits include promoting wound healing, tissue repair. It even improves hair growth. It can also help for short-term treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, for people suffering with slow-healing wounds like a diabetic foot ulcer, reduces psoriasis lesions, can help with short-term pain relief, morning stiffness in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It can also help reduce some of the side effects of cancer treatment, prevents recurring cold sores, and diminishes scars, and relieves pain and inflammation. I red light therapy pretty much daily and absolutely adore it. And there are more and more wonderful products coming to the market, but some that we particularly recommend for this gift guide is from Joov, J-O-O-V. It's an LED light therapy device. The benefits are it helps with mental acuity, circadian rhythm, performance and recovery, sleep optimization, healthy skin, against inflammation, and improved blood flow. So why we love this device? Well, you can choose between the two waves of light, red light or near-infrared light, and there's a multitude of products in different sizes that they provide. You can find the links by going to llgiftguide.com to get the free guide, or the links you will find also in the show notes. Another great way to get infrared light and its benefits is through saunas. It's a great health optimization and biohack with tremendous benefits. Another favorite of ours is the Clearlight Saunas. Clearlight Saunas Vision for their products is to create a sanctuary in your home and business that allows combining health and wellness applications, including aromatherapy, salt therapy, red light therapy, and vibrational therapy together. Their products help to support weight loss and increased metabolism, muscle pain relief, immune system boosting, detoxification, which is obviously so important. It also improves the appearance of cellulite. It can ease joint pain and stiffness and helps with stress and fatigue as well. Why we love it? Well, this is another great way to use mindfulness practices. It's energy and cost efficient as well. It has a 360 infrared heat and it's completely non-toxic materials, and there, and there is no EMF and low ELF technology as well. To get the links, go to llgiftguide.com to get the free guide, or you can access the links in the show notes below. Another great product for the ladies is recommended by Dr. Jolene Brighton., and it's from Joy Luxe, and it's the V Fit Gold intimate care device for vaginal wellness. According to 90% of women who've used the product, they find improvements in things like stress urinary incontinence, lubrication, vaginal sensation, vaginal laxity, and the ability to achieve an orgasm as well. How do you use it? Well, lie back and relax, and you can enjoy the 10-minute app-guided V Fit sessions in the privacy of your home. There's no doctor's visit needed. And a bonus, you'll also become educated and empowered on your health as you improve your vaginal wellness too. So why we love it? Well, it's quick— improvements can be seen as soon as in 3 weeks. It's effective, with 90+ percent experiencing great results. It's natural, non-invasive, and hormone-free. And it's app-enabled, so you can log and track as well. To find out the details, go to llgiftguide.com to download the ebook, or have a look in the show notes below. Our next area for gifts are around health optimization and biohacking devices. Health optimization allows you not to go down the challenging path of aging as we know it and disease and other chronic issues, and instead feel empowered to take your health and your life back into your own hands. I've been there— chronic issues like chronic fatigue, chronic sinusitis, gut health issues that led me down a path that almost had me hospitalized. And now I'm thriving with vibrant energy and a biological age of 14 years younger than my chronological one. So yes, it actually really works. These health optimization and biohacking devices will help you to decrease your risk of developing disease and optimizing your health to gut health, to improving your mental health and more. So the first one we'd like to recommend is from Somavedic, and it's an EMF blocking device. I'm not sure how many of you are familiar with EMF or electromagnetic field radiation, but it's so harmful for our body and our brain. Somavedic frequency therapy devices reliably mitigate mitigate the unwanted influences of EMF radiation, which can be Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cell phones in our homes, schools, and workplaces. And the technology creates a 360-degree protection field of 100 feet in all directions by administering controlled releases of energy from precious and semi-precious stones. The devices also support the body's natural regeneration processes, which allow for better better energy levels and hydration while reducing stress and anxiety. The heart of Somavedic is made of semi-precious and precious stones and metals such as platinum, palladium, gold, and silver. So all quite high quality. An Eastern approach to wellness combined with Western frequency therapy technology is what makes Somavedic a very unique device in this category. So why we love it? Well, every device is unique. It protects against the harmful EMF radiation and negates its negative effects because in busy worlds that we live in, we are exposed to so much EMF radiation in your home, your office, even in your health and wellness clinics as well. To find out more, you can download our gift guide at llgiftguide.com to grab your free gift guide, and in there you'll have the links, or you can check out the show notes below. The next one we would like to recommend is the Theragun. The Theragun is a massage device that looks and runs like a power drill, and it uses percussive massage therapy to treat muscle soreness and relieve pain. The tool's been increasingly used and found effective for everyone, be it professional athletes to weekend warriors and everyone in between. It really gets deep into even difficult-to-reach areas, and it just gives you a deeper, more effective massage, longer-lasting relief. And it's the only massage device with a 5-in-1 proven benefits from recovery, performance, sleep, mobility, and stress. It has different foam tips and speed settings that you can use as well to relieve deep tissue pain and muscle tension in just a few minutes of use. There's also an app integration which makes it easy to create and store massage routines for recurring aches, and it's surprisingly quiet. So go to llgiftguide.com to get your free guide, or you can check out the show notes below. Another gift to give, available in the US at the moment and expanding to the UK depending on where you are in the world, is the gift of Levels Health continuous glucose monitoring. It really helps people understand their metabolic health, not just from what they're eating and drinking, but also stress levels, exercise, and sleep. Levels Health provides real-time feedback on how your diet and lifestyle choices impact your metabolic health through a continuous glucose monitor, which is a biosensor. You just wear it on the back of your arm and then you sync it with the Levels Health app and it gives you the amazing insights. By knowing your your metabolic health. It helps you to regulate your sleep, your appetite, weight, energy levels. Why I really love Levels Health is that many people, myself included, were surprised to find that suspected healthy foods were actually unhealthy for them. It's all about the personalized biometric data. So thanks to Levels, I actually discovered that my healthy sweet potato soup was causing a huge blood sugar spike, and that was for me personally. For the next person, it mightn't do that. So that's why knowing how your body reacts to different foods, to different drinks, to exercises. It's really, really personal. And so by wearing the continuous glucose monitor and having the insights that Levels Health interface in their app provide, it can be a real eye-opener. Benefits of continuous blood glucose levels and having strong metabolic health include better mental clarity, increased performance, better sleep, but obviously very important for longevity and avoiding chronic diseases. So why we love it? Well, the personalized approach I think is so essential. Every human being is different and everyone will react differently, even at different phases of your life. So it's great to just even check in. You don't need to wear it all the time. You can have it on for 2 weeks at a time. Some people like to wear it year in, year out. Other people, they just put it on at different phases and check in to see where things are. To find the links, you can download the guide at llgiftguide.com or check out the show notes below.

You wrap them around different muscles that you're looking to train, and they apply moderate compression in short durations on the upper arms and upper legs. The bands are controlled by the katsu units to serve the opposite function of blood pressure cuffs. Subsequently causes a cascade of natural and beneficial physiological reactions in the body, which promotes things like BDNF, nitric oxide as well, which allows blood vessels to constrict and relax and regulate the inflammatory cells in the blood vessel walls. Also promotes insulin growth factor as as ceramides, plasmalogens, beta endorphins, and testosterone. And lastly, other benefits include it can help with recovery from jet lag, lethargy, insomnia, and it also improves blood circulation.

The device is really for everyone, from high-performance athletes to breathwork practitioners to those who just want to breathe better. When as little as 5 to 10 minutes a day, you become more efficient at breathing, all while sitting on couch. I even noticed a huge difference in breathing better. I used to breathe very much in my upper lungs, but by retraining breathing from the diaphragm and taking long, so deep breaths and really building those pulmonary muscles, I was able to breathe a lot better throughout the day. And I even noticed a big difference when I went for a run, even after just doing a few sessions.

They are the cleanest, purest food-derived spermidine supplements on the market with zero fillers or flow agents. Spermidine has been shown to support cell renewal, cognition, and trigger autophagy, the body's inbuilt system of cellular cleaning and recycling, as well as improve deep sleep and give you thicker, glossier hair, stronger nails, and better skin. Most fascinating interesting to me, spermidine also inhibits 6 of the 9 hallmarks of aging. Why we love it? Well, it's part of my essential supplement kit and hopefully will be yours too for your daily supplement routine. And within a short space of time when I began taking them, I could already see better skin, hair, as well as other benefits as well.

Another great gift is from No Mo Su, or No More Sugar. No Mo Su produce delicious organic sugar-free chocolate that is actually good for you. No Mo Su uses organic stevia for sweetening their chocolate. Stevia has been used for thousands of years by indigenous tribes for its health benefits. Their stevia extraction is created through a process that only involves water from start to finish, which results in the stevia extract that is biochemically intact so that you truly get all of the health benefits. Nomosu also does biotech testing on other products to ensure not only they taste delicious but they're supporting a healthy gut too. Why we love it? Well, if you love chocolate like me, then you must try Nomosu. I particularly adore the dark chocolate with sea salt chocolates. They have a matcha chocolate with white chocolate, which is truly divine, and the almond butter chocolate is delicious as well. On top of all the other products that they have, you can find links to Nomosu below or also in the LL gift guide by going to LL gift guide www.audiobed.com. Finally, if you're looking for some great book recommendations, we've put together a list of must-read books. Not only is reading such a great gift to give because it helps to improve your focus, memory, it prevents age-related cognitive decline. Reading also strengthens connections in the brain, and it helps to reduce stress levels and helps you wind down in the evening. One great gift you could give is the subscription to Audible. It's the home of over 450,000 audiobooks. You can sign up or give the gift of a monthly subscription, and you use then the free credits to purchase your audiobooks that you love. Why I love it? Well, I love to walk places, but you could just as easily use it in your car. And nothing like killing two birds with one stone and listening to an Audible audiobook at the same time.
