Biohacking: Understanding the rules of the nutrition game

Biohacking is the conscious practice of human augmentation, allowing individuals to optimise their chemistry, physiology and performance through science and self-experimentations, in the pursuit of health, well-being and productivity. While this may seem to be a bit too ultra-modern, Amanda introduces an approach to biohacking suitable for those living outside of Silicon Valley. Her approach is practical, affordable, and self-aware, first outlining how to build your own internal ‘basecamp’ to avoid burnout. Then, the fun can begin, and she explores simple but powerful techniques including fasting and hot and cold-water therapy, outlining the remarkable changes they can create.

Longevity: Live better, live longer

Aging is inevitable, and running our bodies for longer and longer periods of time is a process that will naturally impact on our body’s internal processes, including our metabolism. However, this does not mean that our body is completely out of our control – by gaining control over the health problems we associate with ageing, we can alleviate the impact of aging. In this keynote Amanda shares teachings from her role as presenter of the BBC series How to Live Longer, rethinking the ways we eat and behave, and ways to build a lifestyle of healthy, sustainable habits that will benefit us throughout our lives.

Amanda explains why going overboard on gut health trends can lead to aggravation and even more frustration, and breaks down how understanding your gut health timeline, from your birth story to the present day, and honing habits around eating, exercise, sleep, and stress is the breakthrough approach.

Women’s health: Nutrition and lifestyle edits for women in midlife

Women are not small men, and the usual positive steps we read about are unlikely to deliver the same results for women, especially as they leave their thirties and travel into mid-life. In other words, against the backdrop of ageing, perimenopause and menopause, women need a new strategy. In this informative and empowering talk, Amanda shares her proven lifestyle ‘edits’ that have helped thousands of women feel like their best selves again, through realistic changes that will deliver tangible results
