Episode 122.BioHackMe with Camilla Thompson
In this episode of Prescribing Lifestyle, Camilla Thompson joins me to share her trailblazing journey from corporate burnout and mold toxicity to becoming Australia's leading biohacking coach, keynote speaker, and author of BioHackMe.
Camilla breaks down biohacking as accessible, personalised, preventative health—empowering you to take control through science-backed strategies that fit real life (not just for Silicon Valley billionaires).
What We Cover: Camilla's Health Journey
Growing up with a "low tox" pioneer mum who was ahead of her time Living in toxic mold for years (1 in 2 Australians affected), leading to anxiety, brain fog, chronic inflammation, and misdiagnoses Reversing her biological age by 10 years through biohacking after detoxing her life Overcoming postnatal depression with Traditional Chinese Medicine (acupuncture + herbs) after SSRIs failed Biohacking Made Simple & Accessible
Why biohacking = personalised health through testing, data, and intuition (not expensive gadgets) Kitchen audit: ditch ultra-processed foods, swap plastics for glass/bamboo Budget biohacks: cold showers (250% dopamine boost), morning sunlight, walking in nature Mediterranean diet for longevity: pasture-raised eggs, avocados, olive oil, quality fats Women vs. Men + Real Talk
Only 3% of health research on women—we're not "little men" Perimenopause/menopause symptoms often mimic mold toxicity Architect mindset (take control) vs. victim mindset (external blame) Why caregivers (mostly women) face higher autoimmune rates Camilla's Work
