The word “hacking” often carries a negative connotation. I learned this firsthand during my previous career in the tech industry when my work email was hacked—cue the flood of calls from security officers at Fortune 500 firms. Not exactly a highlight of my career! So, combining “unauthorized” access with biology might sound a bit unsettling, even straight out of science fiction. Yet, despite its edgy implications, the term "biohacking" is here to stay.
At ReSet Lounge, biohacking takes on a new meaning. For us, it’s all about utilizing wellness technology and knowledge to positively influence our biology. Not so scary! The primary goal is to support the body in functioning optimally, leading to benefits such as maintaining an ideal weight, balancing the nervous system, promoting a healthy gut, and enhancing brain function.
The concept of “biohacking” spans a wide spectrum—from intermittent fasting to advanced supplementation to stem cell therapy. With such a broad range, finding what works best for you is a personal journey—one that we’re here to support through the cutting-edge services and wellness technology offered at ReSet.
NuCalm: Harnessing Neuroscience for Deep Relaxation
NuCalm is a neuroscience-based service that delivers music specifically composed to interact with your nervous system. At ReSet, we use these tracks to promote relaxation and help you recharge. Our signature 20-minute session, studied at Harvard and Stanford, provides the same restorative benefits as two hours of deep rest. For those needing more intensive healing, longer tracks are available that support recovery at a cellular level.
This service is ideal for everyone, including children, as it effectively calms those with ADHD or anxiety. To enhance the experience, we offer NuCalm sessions in a zero-gravity recliner, which optimizes blood circulation and is paired with a weighted blanket—another powerful biohack known for its anti-anxiety benefits.
PEMF Therapy: Energizing Your Cells for Optimal Healing
Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy is a cutting-edge biohacking tool that sends energy waves through your body to interact with its natural magnetic field, activating cells and promoting healing. This therapy can enhance the body's ability to increase electrolytes, ions, and cellular metabolism.
At our Chagrin Falls spa, we offer this advanced service using the FDA-recognized Kloud mat. Sessions are available at the Lounge, and for added convenience, we also offer mat rentals for home use.
Red Light Therapy: Boosting Skin Health and Recovery
Red Light Therapy (RLT) utilizes low-wavelength red light to boost collagen production, reduce inflammation, and enhance circulation. This innovative wellness technology may significantly improve your skin’s appearance by reducing wrinkles, scars, redness, and acne.
Our FDA-recognized panels go beyond just red light—they also incorporate near-infrared and blue light therapy, which are particularly effective in supporting muscle recovery and enhancing athletic performance. Whether you're looking to rejuvenate your skin or optimize physical performance, this advanced therapy is a key component of biohacking, offering a comprehensive approach to enhancing your overall wellness through cutting-edge wellness technology.
Strength Training: Building Strength to Age Gracefully
While strength training may be less heavy on technology, it is undeniably rooted in the principles of biohacking by leveraging knowledge to optimize energy levels, improve sleep, and mitigate the effects of aging. When we started ReSet, we built our offerings around core pillars: exercise the body, relax the nervous system, and connect. We still firmly believe that movement is essential to achieving your best self, and strength training is a powerful way to hack your biology for lasting wellness.
Supplementation: Balancing Nutrients for Optimal Wellness
Influencing our nutrient balance and thoughtfully supporting our bodies with supplements and healthy eating is important—and a key component of biohacking! As we’ve grown to add Naturopathic services, we are now able to help you find out where your body might be deficient and be mindful about herbs, foods, and clean supplements so that your gut is healthy and you bring balance to your mineral intake. We also have health coaches on hand to help you stay on track as you implement lifestyle changes.
Detoxify and Heal with Infrared Therapy
Infrared therapy is a well-established biohack that utilizes the combination of near, mid, and far infrared wavelengths to support skin health, detoxify the body from mold, heavy metals, and other toxins, and reduce inflammation and pain.
It's also worth noting that many FSA and HSA accounts now reimburse for infrared sauna sessions, making it easier than ever to incorporate this powerful therapy into your wellness routine.
EMBRACING BIOHACKING AT RESET: YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS HERE
At ReSet Lounge, a premier Chagrin Falls spa, we offer a wide array of biohacks—so many, in fact, that we could easily fill a second blog post with more insights! The key takeaway is that, despite the techie vibe of the term "biohacking," everything we've discussed here is rooted in nature. We're simply delivering these modalities in a more efficient, accessible way, which aligns with our philosophy.
So, where should you start? My best advice is to begin with something you enjoy so you'll repeat it! As you start to feel better, it will become easier to explore other services or activities—even something as simple as regular walks—that will continue to positively influence how you feel.
