That\u2019s the idea behind biohacking \u2014 a growing movement where people make intentional lifestyle changes (or use cutting-edge science) to optimise their health. Methods range from simple changes like intermittent fasting (eating within a set window of time) to more advanced alterations like gene therapy (<a href=\"https:\/\/cnalifestyle.channelnewsasia.com\/entertainment\/bryan-johnson-chuando-tan-anti-ageing-dont-die-movement-451726\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">which millionaire biohacker Bryan Johnson reportedly uses to slow ageing<\/a>).<\/p><p>DNA-based wellness is also gaining traction, with companies like Circle DNA providing personalised insights into ideal diets, effective fitness plans, genetic health risks and even skincare routines to help you tailor your lifestyle to your genetics.<\/p><p>Even sleep can be biohacked! As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthhub.sg\/live-healthy\/sleep-deprivation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one of the most sleep-deprived populations<\/a>, Singaporeans could benefit from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/how-sleep-works\/chronotypes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">knowing their sleep chronotype<\/a>.
