    My Biohacking Journey: From Curiosity to Commitment

    Over the past few years, I’ve been gradually exploring the world of biohacking. What started as simple curiosity has grown into something much deeper. I’ve spent time researching, listening to experts, and attending events—like biohacking meetups here in Amsterdam, the Health Optimisation Summit in the UK (2023), and the Biohacker Summit in Amsterdam (2022). Each experience gave me new insights and tools to try.

    One quote that’s really stuck with me comes from Jim Kwik:

    “Knowledge alone is not power. Knowledge plus action is power.”

    And honestly? That hits home.

    Even though I’ve gathered a lot of useful information, I haven’t always followed through. I’ve tested a few tips here and there—things that definitely helped improve my sleep, mood, and how I feel in my body. But I know that if I want real, lasting change, I need to be more consistent. Short-term experiments aren’t enough—I need to commit and integrate these practices into my everyday life.

    Right now, I’m 35 years old, a proud mom to a beautiful 8-month-old daughter, and I weigh 69.7 kg (as of April 15, 2025). My ideal weight is somewhere between 58 and 60 kg. During my pregnancy, I reached 82 kg, so I’ve come a long way—but I’m not quite there yet.

    I’ll be honest, my relationship with food has always been a bit complicated. I’m a foodie at heart. I love cooking, discovering new restaurants, and these days—with a baby and all the chaos that comes with it—I sometimes find myself justifying sweet treats a little too easily.

    But here’s my hope: that I can finally start applying what I’ve learned in a more meaningful way. I want to share this journey as it unfolds—not just the progress, but the process. Maybe it’ll help me stay accountable. Maybe it’ll help someone else who’s on a similar path.

    Either way, this is where I’m at. And I’m ready to take the next step.

    Please stick around and let’s get better one step at a time.

    With Love,

    Kate

  • Mixing Old Wisdom with New Tech: My Biohacking Journey

    For me, biohacking is about using the amazing tools and tech we have today to help us grow and feel better—while also remembering the deep, beautiful wisdom our ancestors lived by.

    I’m here to share some of the free and simple biohacking tricks I’ve discovered while exploring what’s out there. This journey is all about blending modern innovation with timeless, natural practices—and seeing what actually works.

    The thing is, so many things our ancestors did naturally have become rare or even “inconvenient” in today’s world. Stuff like soaking up sunshine, drinking fresh spring water, or just walking barefoot—it used to be normal, now it feels like a wellness trend. But honestly? These simple things are powerful and they don’t cost a thing.

    I grew up in Mongolia, watching my grandparents live a semi-nomadic lifestyle—part of the year in the village, the rest out on the open steppe with their animals. So many of the things we did every day back then now feel like epic biohacks in today’s fast-paced world.

    When we were out in the steppe, we lived in a yurt without electricity. Our days started at dawn—we’d wake up early to milk the animals and walk them to fresh grass. I still remember walking barefoot on the dewy morning grass, greeting the sunrise. Breakfast was a rich, buttery milk tea (original bullet proof coffee, you are welcome Dave Asprey 😄) and some dried curd we made ourselves, full of good stuff like protein, calcium, and vitamin C.

    We were always moving—walking for hours, doing chores, just living in sync with nature. At night, we’d wind down by the fire, chatting and slowly drifting to sleep. No screens, no noise, just connection and calm.

    As I dive deeper into biohacking now, I’m realizing more and more that nature has to come first. It’s the foundation.

    Don’t get me wrong—I’m not saying the “good old days” were better. I love the world we live in now. We have access to so much information, amazing technology, and honestly, life is a lot easier. But I think the magic happens when we take the best of both worlds—ancient and modern—and make it our own.

    So I’ll keep exploring, testing, learning, and most importantly—sharing what I find with you, honestly and from the heart.

    Stick around and come along on this journey of upgrading life with a little help from the old ways and the new tools.

    With love,
