In this episode of Eighty Twenty, Georgia Sinclair and Shanina Shaik are joined by Aggie Lal, an expert biohacker and author of the recently published book “Biohack Like a Woman.” Aggie explains how biohacking is about continuously improving health, feeling amazing, and even reversing your biological age. Simple hacks involve eating your food in the right order to lose weight, learning to eat train and fast according to your cycle to optimize your health. They discuss optimizing nutrition, outlining the importance of balancing your blood sugar levels. Aggie recommends eating vegetables first, then protein and fats, finishing with minimal carbs.
