We are super excited to sit down with the @biohackerblondie herself, Jenny Jones! A fitness instructor, author, podcast host, and all around biohacking thought leader, Jenny discusses her routine and provides some great advice to help your wellness journey.
1. Tell us a bit about who you are and what you do.
I'm Jenny, a dedicated biohacker influencer, health and longevity enthusiast, author of "Biohack for Life: Master Your Health and Longevity," and the Chief Wellness Officer at Nuvo Life Health. As a fitness instructor, I empower individuals to achieve their best physical health. My role as the host of the BiohackerBlondie podcast allows me to explore the fascinating world of health optimization by interviewing a diverse array of guests. These include pioneering doctors, innovative health supplement company founders, cutting-edge researchers in genomics and biotechnology, holistic health practitioners, and experts in nutrition and fitness. My work spans various aspects of wellness, aiming to uncover and share the most effective strategies for living a balanced, healthy life. By bridging the gap between traditional wisdom and modern science, I strive to create a platform where everyone can find something that resonates with their personal health journey.
2. What's your daily wellness routine?
My day starts early, around 5:30 or 6 am, with a glass of molecular hydrogen mixed with minerals and potassium bicarbonate, taken before my coffee to kickstart my day. I follow this with my essential supplements, including COAST Health and NAD precursors like NMN and NR. After jotting down my thoughts in a gratitude journal and using a neuronic helmet to boost energy and focus, I head to the gym. It's crucial for me to get outside, breathe fresh air, and expose myself to sunlight to stimulate lymphatic drainage and encourage sweating. Sometimes, I also use my infrared sauna blanket. My morning routine includes using clean products, dry brushing in the shower, ending with a 2-minute cold shower, and an ice roller for my face. I then use a red light face and neck mask and work from a café or at home, standing at my desk. Throughout the day, I ensure I move around, especially after meals, to manage my blood glucose levels. Night routines vary, but prioritizing quality sleep, tracked with my Oura ring, is non-negotiable for hormone balance, energy, and positivity.
3. What's your favorite biohacking tip?
My favorite biohacking tip goes beyond just a single action or supplement; it's about cultivating a deep, intuitive connection with your body. Listening to your body is paramount in the world of biohacking. Every individual is unique, from our genetic makeup to our lifestyle and environmental exposures. Because of this, a biohack that works wonders for one person might not yield the same results for another. It's crucial to approach biohacking with a mindset of curiosity and experimentation, always observing how your body responds to different stimuli, whether it's a new type of exercise, a dietary change, or a sleep routine. Pay attention to subtle cues from your body, such as changes in energy levels, mood, digestion, and sleep quality. These signals are invaluable feedback on what's working and what's not. In essence, my favorite biohacking tip is to embrace a personalized approach, using your body's feedback as the ultimate guide. This journey is deeply personal and requires patience, openness, and respect for your body's inherent wisdom.
4. As a fitness instructor, what's one thing that most people seem to be missing in their gym routine?
Sliders! They're an incredibly versatile tool that I believe many gym-goers overlook. Sliders can engage your core deeply—a common area of weakness for many—plus, they can target your legs, hamstrings, and arms. Whether you opt for slow, controlled movements or faster ones to elevate your heart rate, sliders offer a comprehensive workout for the entire body.
5. The most game-changing piece of advice you've ever received?
We all bring our own unique energy to whatever we do. A vital piece of advice that changed my perspective was realizing that many people hold themselves back thinking their contribution has already been made by someone else or wondering how they can stand out. However, we each have something unique and special to bring to our passions, attracting different people and making our mark.
6. Favorite way to use COAST?
I incorporate COAST every morning, particularly pre-workout, for an energy boost. It's enriched with precursors for NAD and taurine, making it an essential part of my daily regimen to support my energy levels, boosting my mitochondria, and overall health optimization.
