Summary & Key Takeaways
At Biohacker Summit London 2023, I spoke on "Biohacking Mobility and Corrective Exercise."
Corrective exercise builds range of motion without compensation—Functional Movement Systems: develop general movement before specializing.
I cited research that metabolism doesn't slow until around age 60, and that hourly 4-second sprints protect fat metabolism.
The venue under Waterloo Station drew over 450 attendees, more than 80% from outside the biohacking community.
Optimizing Mobility and Movement as Biohackers
I had the honor of speaking at the 2023 Biohacker Summit in London on optimizing mobility and movement as biohackers. With my background as a professional MMA fighter and health consultant, I shared insights from my own journey of learning to biohack my mobility.
I opened by demonstrating a corrective exercise for the area between the first and second ribs, where tightness contributes to poor posture. Then I introduced myself and my blended background of martial arts, nutrition, and fitness—the path that led me into the biohacking community.
My talk was titled "Biohacking Mobility and Corrective Exercise." The mindset around exercise often lives at the extremes—"no pain, no gains" and punishing workouts. Corrective exercise instead improves mobility: our range of motion without compensation. I covered Functional Movement Systems principles, where movement quality drives performance and skill. The takeaway: trying new exercises without proper mobility leads to injury.
I defined biohacking movement as using tools to quantify and optimize movement for an active lifestyle. Monitoring mobility, prehab exercises, and restorative movement like yoga all count as biohacks. I shared my own example—years of unbalanced training as a fighter led to injuries, and proper biohacking movement is now essential to my longevity.
To demonstrate, I had the audience perform neck releases to counter the chronic tightness from martial arts head positioning. I guided them through exercises to stretch the sternocleidomastoid muscles and strengthen the neck extensors, plus shoulder exercises to release the lower trapezius.
I explained why overdoing specific movements creates imbalances—my years of martial arts and baseball gave me a strong throwing pattern but poor bilateral movement. The key is building generalized movement capacity first, before specializing. I closed the interactive session by reviewing the biohacking techniques I use with clients to assess and address their daily readiness and lifestyle factors.
I shared recent research showing metabolism doesn't slow down until around age 60, countering outdated notions of steep declines. I also referenced a study on the benefits of 4-second sprint intervals—brief, focused exercise that boosts fat metabolism.
To show a full lifestyle approach, I outlined my personal ergonomic workstation: a standing desk, an ergonomic chair, a portable treadmill—all set up for active sitting and movement. Lifestyle hacks like posture correction, exercise snacks, and recovery routines keep my mobility ready for martial arts training.
In closing, I encouraged the audience to invest in their biohacking education, get personalized assessments, and set customized movement goals based on their needs. Small adjustments—like better breathing mechanics—make a major difference. Our bodies thrive on homeostasis, not extremes. By biohacking mobility and movement daily, we unlock our potential while preventing injury.

Event Highlights
The Biohacker Summit London venue, under Waterloo Station with its Banksy-inspired graffiti backdrop, set a lively stage for exploration and camaraderie.
The event ran with insightful talks from biohackers, researchers, and health enthusiasts—covering everything from daily routine to sleep mastery and stress management—broadening our horizons and deepening our appreciation for biohacking's potential.
Over 450 curious minds formed a vibrant networking hub, and the exhibition showcased gadgets, products, and supplements for human performance—a tactile glimpse of the future.
By the close, attendees left with actionable strategies to fold the discussed biohacks into daily life, whether seasoned or brand new—pointed toward better performance, longevity, and quality of life.
"Top Daily Biohacks" was more than an event; it was an invitation into a future of optimized health. The London event set high anticipation for the upcoming Amsterdam summit. And the audience diversity mattered: over 80% came from outside the biohacking community, bringing a fresh blend of curiosity and sophistication that enriched the dialogue.
Biohacker Summit London 2023 was a bold precursor to Amsterdam—a promising sign for anyone keen to push past traditional health and performance boundaries. The journey has just begun.

Fought as a UFC fighter. Researches as a biohacker. And now, sat behind the mic on French combat sports media. During a trip to Nice for the Hololife Summit Côte d'Azur 2026, Tateki Matsuda appeared on JAB Life's "Ground & Talk" — the French-language MMA platform co-hosted by Boxing Squad head coach Aldric Cassata and former RMC Sport journalist Alexandre Herbinet. Sharing the episode with UFC fighter Axel Sola, fresh off a Fight of the Night at UFC London, Tateki discussed his career in the Octagon, the evolution of Japanese MMA, and his mission to bridge combat sports and sports science at the international level.
