Delna Mistry Anand checks out the Biohacking lab with Beyond Limitz and tells us all about it.
“Biohacking” is a buzzword that’s been circling around the beauty and wellness spaces in recent times, though the concept has been around for longer. When people attempt to change aspects of their biology to improve their health, performance, or well-being, it is called Biohacking. Some types of biohacking have been around for many years, such as intermittent fasting, while technology-based biohacking, such as smartwatches and Fitbits, are newer means to ‘biohack’ your health. In simple words, it is simply the process of making changes to your lifestyle in order to “hack” your body’s biology and feel your best. You’ve probably been biohacking for ages, without even knowing it.
Biohacking is simply a term used to describe various tips and tricks for enhancing the body’s ability to function at peak performance—and maybe even extend one’s lifespan. Biohacking involves experimenting with various methods to optimize physical and mental functions, often with the goal of achieving higher levels of energy, focus, longevity, and overall vitality. While certain modalities of biohacking may seem sci-fi, forms like meditation – especially VR meditation are commonly used.
In the past few years, we have witnessed new innovations in the journey of well-being. Right from tracking your fitness levels with smartwatches to VR (Virtual Reality) Meditation, health and well-being apps, health monitoring devices, etc., the personal wellness industry has transformed for the better, allowing many more people to understand and manage their physical, mental, and emotional states of being.
Biohacking encompasses a wide range of practices, some of which are grounded in scientific research and others that may be more experimental. These practices can involve changes in diet, exercise, sleep patterns, supplementation, stress management, and even the use of cutting-edge technologies to manipulate biological processes.
Beyond Limitz is a newly opened Biohacking Lab in the heart of Dubai, offering an array of state-of-the-art equipment which are backed by science, to propel your wellness journey.

The PEMF mat does cellular rejuvenation and has a profound healing effect across many chronic conditions.
Your next stop is the Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) Back Massager, a wellness-driven technological machine that employs low-frequency electrical impulses to stimulate muscle contractions.

Red Light Therapy showcases how technology can be harnessed to illuminate both physical and emotional well-being.
