Every decision we make, consciously or subconsciously, shifts our biology towards cell aging. Nutrition, sport, supplements, sleep, exercise contribute to hijacking your body clock.
Neuroscience Calisthenics, the book sheds light on Neuroplasticity, using exercise and biohacking to strengthen your mind and improve the quality of life.
The biggest biohack that one can use to improve learning is to make use of our emotional system.
