Vasai-based Jervin D’Souza has been biohacking long before the term became popular among Gen-Z and Millennials. It started with him actively working out three years ago. He shares, “When I started training, I found personal training and nutrition coaches were too expensive. I had to rely on learning and experimenting by myself.” Today, the 29-year-old says he knows which food and routines impact him physically and mentally. The added benefit is that he can plan his daily tasks better when he is training than when he hasn’t been working out for a while, and that has been an enriching experience for him.
