I've always been driven by this insatiable desire to help those around me truly understand and immerse themselves in the fascinating world of biohacking and wellness, to foster their own flourishing in profound ways. I've come to realize that there's a piece of the puzzle we've been missing. We need a term for it, and I've been tossing around "the human flourishing stack".
The human flourishing stack isn't some abstract concept; it's about the individual. It's about you. It's about everything you're doing to ensure that you are functioning at your highest capacity, flourishing freely. It's a compilation of things, some as mundane as what you eat, like probiotics, organic foods, or personalized superfoods based on your microbiome and your genome.
But it's also about your social interactions - who you spend your time with, how often, and what you do together. It's about your work, your environment, even the quality of your air and water. It's about the nature you surround yourself with, and whether you're shielding yourself from light and noise pollution. It's also about avoiding toxic environments or bad influences.
Then there are practices you follow, such as using BrainTap to train your brain, or incorporating infrared light therapy, sauna sessions, gym classes, cryotherapy, hyperbaric chambers, fasting, and more. It's also about the devices you use like the Oura ring, or whether you keep tabs on your gut microbiome with Viome. It could be about using specific glasses that help prepare you for sleep or meditating daily.
All these elements, all these practices, they're all part of this human flourishing stack. The beauty of this stack is the recognition that you're in control. You decide what goes in and what stays out. You have the reins of your life, your freedom, your flourishing, and your sovereignty. It empowers you to be in a mode of creation rather than reaction, which, to me, is the epitome of beauty.
So, I'm curious, what's in your stack? What has been working for you? How are you fostering your own flourishing?
