From wearable trackers to cryotherapy chambers, these innovations promise optimisation and peak performance. But amidst all the hype, one truth remains unchanged: no gadget can replace the power of foundational health habits.
How essential oils at night boosted memory in older adults
Nightly exposure to essential oils significantly enhanced memory and altered brain structure in older adults. A simple 2-hour olfactory enrichment using diffusers improved verbal recall and modified key neural pathways, offering a low-effort, non-invasive approach to support cognitive health and brain ageing.
Creatine enhances cognitive performance and brain energy under stress
A single high dose of creatine improved cognitive performance and brain energy metabolism during sleep deprivation, reversing fatigue-related declines. It enhanced processing speed, memory, and prevented metabolic changes, suggesting creatine may support brain function under stress, potentially benefiting wellness and healthspan during ageing.
Biohacking sleep: 10 steps to improve sleep quality for optimal health
Sleep isn’t just downtime – it’s a structured physiological process crucial for cellular repair, immune function, memory consolidation, and longevity. Optimising sleep involves improving your daily habits, environment, and using targeted technologies and supplements. Understanding your personal sleep data allows tailored strategies for enhanced health and performance.
Navigating the festive season: 6 ways to protect your health gains
The festive season doesn’t have to derail your health goals. With mindful strategies like stress management, enjoying treats without guilt, staying active, and prioritising rest, you can maintain balance and vitality.

The power of breathwork for health and performance
Imagine having a powerful wellness tool with you every single day—one that’s as simple as breathing. Turns out, your breath holds far more potential than most people realise.
Glucose tracking with CGMs: Your longevity ally
CGMs have emerged as a powerful tool for monitoring and improving metabolic health and healthspan. Learn how you can transform this data into new habits to optimise your health.
The benefits of balanced daily routines on sleep patterns and ageing
Daily activities, including sleep, physical activity, and sedentary behaviour, interact within a 24-hour period, impacting sleep quality among Australian children and adults. Using compositional data analysis, the research emphasises the importance of considering the full day’s activity composition to promote better sleep health.
Sleep enhances brain health and longevity
Neuronal activity boosts cerebrospinal fluid flow to remove brain waste during sleep, potentially affecting longevity and ageing.
Warm your feet, enhance your sleep
Wearing bed socks to warm feet can significantly improve sleep quality in a cool environment, shortening sleep onset, extending sleep duration, and reducing awakenings, without affecting core body temperature.Â
