Biohacker Summit Helsinki 2022
My Presentation: Japanese Way of Biohacking for Wellbeing
My presentation at the summit was centered around my approach to biohacking for well-being, deeply influenced by my Japanese heritage and the principles of Bushido, the way of the samurai. I started the session with a series of warm-up exercises designed to relieve tension and improve shoulder and neck mobility. These exercises, I believe, are a simple but effective way to start the journey toward optimized health.
I then shared my background as an MMA fighter and biohacker. I studied sports movement science and applied nutrition and hold certifications in Functional Movement Systems and Kettlebell training. I also represent the Biohacker Center in Japan, bringing the biohacking movement to my home country.
One of the critical points I emphasized was the importance of individualized approaches to diet and lifestyle. I cited a study that showed high interpersonal variability in post-meal glucose levels, underscoring that there's no one-size-fits-all diet. Instead, I encourage self-quantification, self-experimentation, and trial and error to find personal optimization.
The heart of my presentation was introducing the concept of "Ikigai"” a Japanese term meaning "reason for being". Understanding one's Ikigai, I believe, is crucial for well-being. I also delved into the principles of Bushido, which include justice, courage, benevolence, respect, honesty, honor, and loyalty. These principles are deeply ingrained in my heart and influence my approach to life and biohacking.
