This biohacker is on a quest to live up to 150 years old and she's revealing the secrets to her longevity journey.
Kayla Barnes-Lentz, a fitness expert, influencer, and owner of the LYV The Wellness Space in Los Angeles, is set on outliving every human in the world.
The 33-year-old, whose Female Longevity Optimization course was previously featured on Biohack Yourself, has established a longevity protocol that she strictly follows every day.
While her jampacked routine may seem like a lot for some, including taking 20 supplements per day, Barnes-Lentz believes that her biohacking lifestyle will help her slow down her biological clock.
Biohacking is a term used to describe small, strategic changes to one's habits to improve health and well-being. Sometimes considered D-I-Y, these incremental changes are believed to boost cognitive function and help with weight management, Scripps Health explained.
Through biohacking, Barnes-Lentz claims she has effectively slowed down time and her biological age is now 10 years younger than she is.
"I’m excited to have started this longevity journey so early on – and already my biological age is about a decade younger than I actually am," she told The Telegraph.
"I’m aiming to reach 150. There are so many technologies and advancements that are coming, especially with AI, and I think that living so healthily will mean I will be able to partake in these advancements during my lifespan."
Here are some of the "Longevity Optimization" podcast host's biohacking secrets:
1. Sleeping early
Barnes-Lentz and her husband start winding down at 8 p.m. By 8:30 p.m. they're in bed and by 9 p.m. the couple is asleep.
The early schedule helps them get better, deeper sleep, she said.
2. Sleeping in a metal cage
A Faraday cage, usually made of metal or a conductive material, is believed to block electromagnetic fields.
The couple's bedroom is also "completely blacked out" to ensure an "excellent night's sleep," she told the Telegraph.
3. Waking up at 5 a.m.
Sleeping early means waking up early too. Kayla starts her morning by stepping on her biometric smart scale to measure her weight, fat mass, and bone density.
4. Maintaining oral health
She scrapes her tongue with a metal tongue scraper and does an ozone oil pulling (swishing oil in her mouth) three times a week to balance her oral bacteria.
5. Working within 90-minute segments
She likes to work in short segments and uses an Anthros chair to keep a good posture while at her desk.
6. 15,000 steps daily
If she needs to get on a virtual meeting, she prefers taking a walk during the call. This helps her reach her 15,000 steps daily which is good for cardiovascular health.
7. Mid-day vibration plate
"I spend a few minutes on a whole body vibration plate, which helps the lymphatic flow detox the whole body and improves bone density," she explained.
8. 20 supplements per day
Aside from her vitamins, Kayla also takes longevity supplements to help with cell growth.
"Once a week, I may do other biometrics, such as doing lung health testing with a spirometer, which measures the amount of air you can breathe out in one second," she shared.
"Many people feel constantly tired and don’t know what it’s like to wake up bursting with energy. It’s exciting to see small lifestyle changes that can make such a difference," Barnes-Lentz added.
