The Power of Biohacking and Habit Stacking: The Desert Moon Wellness Approach

Jan 8

4 min read

The phrase “New Year, New You” has never resonated with me. For decades, I pushed myself hard at the end of each year, only to reset in January with a grand plan of rejuvenation. While it worked for a time, I realized that true wellness isn’t about flipping a switch at the start of the year. Life moves too quickly—the years fly by, even when the days feel long. That’s when I embraced a new mindset: each day is a chance to start fresh.

For me, wellness is about real, sustainable changes. Fads have never been my thing. I discovered the importance of grounding my practices in science, listening to my body, and focusing on habits that nourish me physically, mentally, and spiritually. This journey, which started in 2016, has transformed not only my life but also the lives of those I’ve been privileged to guide.

The Power of Biohacking and Habit Stacking

I often say biohacking saved my life, though, at the time, I didn’t even realize that’s what I was doing. It wasn’t until 2020, when I connected with leaders in the biohacking movement, that I understood the science behind the practices I had already been incorporating into my life.

It’s not about being perfect—none of us are. Every day presents challenges, but through habit stacking, I’ve learned how to create a life that feels balanced and fulfilling. By layering small, positive habits over time I’ve built a routine that helps me, and my clients, thrive.

One of the first lessons I learned was the power of starting small. For example, spend just five minutes each morning grounding yourself. Step outside barefoot, and let the healing energy of the earth (PEMF, or pulsed electromagnetic fields) and the sun (first light exposure) work their magic. This simple practice supports your circadian rhythm, reduces inflammation, and helps your body’s systems communicate more effectively. It’s a small act with massive benefits.

Another key is to focus on replacing negative habits with positive ones, one at a time. Life’s ups and downs will inevitably disrupt our routines, but by concentrating on what feels good and aligns with our values, we naturally crowd out the less helpful habits. Over time, this creates a life centered on brain balance, gut health, and mind-body connection—all essential components of feeling whole.

The Desert Moon Wellness Approach

At Desert Moon Wellness, we take a holistic, science-based approach to wellness. One of our core tools is the Neural Check, a heart rate variability assessment that provides a comprehensive look at how your body is managing stress and maintaining balance. This data helps us create personalized protocols to optimize your nervous system, ensuring that changes are both effective and sustainable.

We also offer functional and integrative medicine to identify underlying imbalances, so your wellness journey leads to lasting transformation. By combining cutting-edge technology with proven wellness strategies, we help our clients achieve vibrant health—mind, body, and soul.

Build Your Sustainable Routine

The message I want to share is this: invest in yourself wisely. Don’t fall for fads or trends that won’t stick. Instead, find positive habits that work for your life and goals. Sustainable wellness isn’t about perfection; it’s about creating a routine that allows you to thrive, even during life’s challenges.

For example, here’s what my typical day looks like:

Morning Routine:

• Gratitude: Start your day with intention. Spend five minutes in gratitude or meditation.

• Grounding: Go outside, barefoot, and let your body connect with the earth.

• Sunlight: Let the first light of the day enter your eyes—this is free, natural therapy.

• Movement: Rebound on a vibration board, practice yoga, or enjoy any movement that energizes you.

• Sauna & Recovery: Spend time in an infrared sauna or hang upside down for 3 minutes to boost circulation.

Evening Routine:

• Nutrition: Eat to optimize your cellular health with nutrient-dense foods.

• Supplements & Nootropics: Support brain balance with targeted supplements and adaptogens.

• Connection: Spend time with loved ones, share a meal, and focus on being present.

Weekly Practices:

• Fit in resistance training, contrast therapy, yoga, or HBOT (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) a few times a week.

• Engage in community fitness or wellness activities to stay connected.

The beauty of these practices is that most are free or low-cost. Grounding, sunlight, and gratitude don’t cost a thing—and they’re some of the most transformative tools I’ve ever used.
