The new biohackers: Inside the quiet rebellion of women upgrading their bodies (The Independent)

I’m not convinced that many of the things she’s doing is of much value, or very cost-effective. Seems more like Bryan Johnson’s approach; designed for influencer / attention getting not optimal cost-effectiveness.

Kayla Barnes starts off her day at 5:30 a.m. with an oral routine: brushing, flossing, tongue-scraping, WaterPik, and once a week oil-pulling — an Ayurvedic practice that refers to swishing oil around in the mouth for 15 minutes — with an ozonated olive oil. Then she does light therapy with both a red light and a blue light — “the red light reduces inflammation in the gums. The blue light is for whitening” — and has a big glass of water with electrolytes. After that, “I sit down on PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy) for about 25 minutes,” she says, which is “like grounding on steroids”. First used by veterinarians to try and heal broken legs in horses, a PEMF machine, which Barnes has in her house alongside a host of other biohacking technology, generates a magnetic field that many believe is good for healing injuries and targeting inflammation. Consumer-grade machines cost about $2,000.

Yeah, she thinks this will take her to 150 years. She’s 35 and very optimistic. Can’t see how the body could possibly fail. It can fail.
