Biohackers trying to live long and healthy lives and defy ageing have been making headlines for the past few months. There is a couple in the news now aiming to live till at least 150 years of age.
The Independent reported about the couple who spend six figures a year to live “healthily until the age of 150” by following a rigid daily routine. Kayla Barnes-Lentz, a 33-year-old wellness CEO told the publication that she has been committed to living a healthy life.
She stated that her quest for longevity is so important that she asked her husband for detailed information about his health and biology even before she met him. Barnes-Lentz says she wanted to ensure that she would be a suitable partner for more than 100 years.
Talking about other biohackers with similar aims, Barnes-Lentz said that unlike them, she does not aim to live forever. She says she wants “to live as long as my husband does, not forever.”
Notably, Bryan Johnson is a popular biohacker who has been trying to beat death with his lifestyle, food habits and other methods.
Talking about her day, she said that getting some morning sunshine is integral to kickstarting their day, besides exercise. She said that her husband, Warren, and she prioritise their “morning workouts and getting sun as soon as it peaks up.”
“Other morning activities that we do together are PEMF or Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy. We have a clinical-grade device in our home that we use in the mornings together.”
They soak in some more sunshine during the afternoon and sometimes indulge in a “cold tub” day.
To help the lungs collect more oxygen, they use a hyperbaric chamber. “It only fits one person at a time so we alternate it,” she explained.
Their evening comprises “an early organic dinner together.”
“I cook our meals at home, and we typically eat around 5:30 pm. After dinner, we go for another walk. Then, we do a sauna session to start our wind-down routine. Red lights go on in our house at sunset,” she told The Independent.
They hit the bed by 9:00 pm daily.
The couple is also trying to have a baby and is already working to make the journey healthy. She said she has been “optimising” her body “in preparation for motherhood for years.”
“I have helped my husband optimise his biology pre-conception [too] because we know that the mother and father’s health impacts the health of the children,” she added.
Barnes-Lentz also plans to do “in-depth labs” during her pregnancy “to gather never-before-seen data on women during pregnancy.”
However, the couple doesn’t plan on imposing their lifestyle on their children.
“We will try and simplify their lives and focus on no screen time, playing outdoors, getting dirty, being in nature and the sun,” she said.
