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.
