Biohacking Center
Mexico City,

Once considered a practice reserved for elite athletes and
successful Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, biohacking has
now firmly entered the mainstream market. Biohacking finds
ways to ‘hack’ into our biological operating systems to enhance our
physical, mental and cognitive performance.
At Biohacking Center, in Lomas de Chapultepec, Mexico City, an
array of therapies are available to help guests optimize their bodies
and brains. Guests looking to achieve peak health and wellness
via a course or package of treatments will start with an in-depth
consultation, which may consist of biometric scanning, body
composition analysis, emotional balance, biorhythms, minerals,
trace elements, and heavy metals in the body, in combination with
data available from wearable devices such as Fitbit or apple watch,
etc. Based on the results, a treatment plan, package or membership
is proposed.
Relax on a crystal mat that infuses infrared heat therapy deep into
the muscles and joints and applies pulsed electromagnetic fields
(PEMF), these therapies combine to stimulate cell function to optimal
level, reduce pain and improve muscle function and tissue repair.
While receiving this therapy add a meditative aspect to calm the
mind. The PandoraStar, an advanced strobe light technology, can
be placed above the head. With eyes closed the movements and
frequencies of the light promote electromagnetic activity, producing
awe-inspiring colors and patterns, synchronizing brain waves and
stimulating the pineal gland. After becoming accustomed to the
light stimulation, enter a deep state of relaxation which can help
to regulate sleep patterns, enhance creativity, strengthen your
memory, and increase focus and concentration.

Feel ‘Superhuman’, with a combination of three treatments including
electromagnetic pulsation to stimulate deeper muscle and nerve
tissue, inducing muscle contraction and neuromodulation, resulting
in muscle strengthening and toning, reduced pain and inflammation,
improved cell metabolism, blood circulation and oxygen absorption.
The second therapy is the use of red and infrared light to penetrate
the cells activating their metabolism, improving tissue recovery
and enhancing collagen and elastin production. Finally, a hydrogen
humidifier placed in front of the nose to inhale helps to repair cell
damage, reducing oxidative stress and supporting longevity.
Recuperate with an IV drip or enjoy a lymphatic drainage massage
with compression boots as you recline under red light therapy and
discover new realms with a VR headset. In the ‘Lab & Cafe’, enjoy
drinks and herb-infused concoctions that provide micronutrients,
natural nootropics like mushrooms and adaptogenic plants that can
enhance physical and cognitive abilities.
One of the most popular ways to ‘biohack’ is via cold therapy, with
numerous benefits and a recent surge in popularity worldwide,
taking an ice bath is one effective way of receiving cold exposure.
For novices to the practice, biohacking center has a breathwork
coach to help prepare for the ice plunge. Their custom-made glasssided
tub sits in a treatment suite equipped with an infrared sauna
for those wanting to practice contrast therapy between heat and
cold exposure.
