Today we’re venturing into the evolving world of personalised biohacking for women, because performance, radiance and longevity aren't just goals… they're essential.

My guest is Azra Alagic, a Health Consultant, Behaviour Change Specialist, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and host of the Biohack-Her podcast. After transforming her own health using evidence-based tools and technologies, Azra now helps women create personalised plans rooted in science, self-awareness, and integrative care.

We explore the complex relationship between sleep, hormones, and weight, why morning light exposure might be more powerful than your supplements, and how to approach intermittent fasting through a female lens.

From DNA testing and bio-tracking to the underrated power of self-prioritisation, this conversation cuts through wellness noise and brings clarity to how women can live well longer, on their terms.

Note: This conversation is personal and educational, not prescriptive. Please consult your trusted healthcare provider for individual guidance.

Key Takeaways:

• Biohacking empowers women to take control of their health
• Epigenetics and DNA testing provide a deeper understanding of the body
• Women’s biology requires a different approach to sleep, fasting, and stress
• Sleep is foundational to hormonal balance, metabolism, and mood
• Proactive care is more effective—and cost-effective—than reactive care
• Morning light helps regulate circadian rhythms and energy levels
• Intermittent fasting isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for women
• Meditation, breathwork, and mindfulness reduce stress and improve sleep
• Wearable tech can be a valuable tool—but should support, not overwhelm
• Women's health studies need to be by women, for women
