Sharing My Passion for Optimization at the Biohacker Week workshop

I was thrilled to help organize and facilitate the Optimized Day workshop during Biohacker Week in Amsterdam. This exclusive one-day retreat at the gorgeous Fort Resort Beemster gathered attendees eager to biohack their health routines.

Our coaches included pioneers like Teemu Arina, breathwork expert Leigh Ewin, longevity mentor Eduard de Wilde, and Zen Buddhist monk Yogetsu Akasaka. I was incredibly honored that 16th-generation samurai Sensei Zen Takai joined us to lead the morning and afternoon Zen practices.

We began with Sensei guiding us through meditative movements and martial arts katas to ground in the present moment. His wisdom reminded me to let go of my ego and open my heart.

I had planned to lead mobility sessions, but we adjusted the schedule for Sensei’s invaluable teachings. Instead, I provided restorative exercises in the evening to help unwind tight muscles after a long day of active learning. Guiding others through gentle poses targeting common pain points was deeply rewarding.

Watching each participant blossom throughout the intensive day of breathing, cold plunges, sauna, and upgraded nutrition was beautiful. Our team facilitated powerful transformations. By embracing vulnerability and childlike curiosity again, we can unlock our most significant potential.

Hands-on Lectures and Experiences

After Teemu's principles talk, attendees rotated through various upgrade stations to get hands-on with biohacks. At stations, people learn labwork to quantify their sleep, activity, and more. The supplementation station detailed cutting-edge nootropics and adaptogens for focus and stress resilience. There was also breathwork station guiding techniques to boost energy and a photobiomodulation station to experience red light therapy benefits. Getting tangible experience with these biohacks enabled participants to incorporate them into their daily lives.

Witnessing everyone forge bonds over our shared purpose of optimization epitomized this community's magic. I'm endlessly grateful that my passion for helping people thrive allows me to collaborate with top experts like Sensei and support attendees on their journey to actualization.
