I’ve attended plenty of wellness events and wasn’t expecting to be amazed when I arrived at the 2024 Biohackers World Conference and Expo in Miami but from the second I walked in, I knew this experience was going to be something special!
The vibe wasn’t flashy or overwhelming, it was electric. Biohacking events can sometimes feel like a race to prove how much you know, but not here. This wasn’t about showing off; it was about discovery, connection, and a shared passion for living better and longer. It was a place where innovation met inspiration, and where everyone came not just to learn about the latest biohacks but to experience the future of wellness firsthand.
Downtown Miami and the Venue
Miami is always full of energy, the sleek glass skyline shimmering in the sun, palm trees swaying against the backdrop of endless blue, and a salty breeze that makes you feel like anything is possible. It’s the kind of city that invites you to lean in and embrace whatever the day holds. The Hyatt in downtown Miami was the perfect match for that energy, modern, spacious, and polished, but without that cold, impersonal feel you sometimes get in big venues. It felt welcoming, like a space designed not just to host an event but to elevate the entire experience.
The flow of the venue made everything easy to navigate. There were cozy breakout areas where you could grab a coffee or take a breather without feeling like you were “missing out.” And speaking of coffee, it wasn’t your typical, bitter conference brew. The organizers knew what they were doing. Smooth, rich, and paired with snacks that kept you fueled throughout the day. Small details like that showed how much thought went into creating an optimal experience for attendees.
What stood out most, though, was how approachable everything felt. I found myself sitting next to speakers I’d been following for years, casually swapping tips about microbiome hacks and natural sleep enhancers. It was the kind of event where you didn’t need to “put on” your networking face. You could just show up as yourself, dive into conversations, and walk away with insights that felt practical, inspiring, and easy to take home.
The Host: Elias Arjan
A good host can make or break an event and Elias Arjan nailed it! Hosting a biohacking conference isn’t easy, especially when you’re navigating deep topics like health technology, longevity, and resilience. But Elias brought humor, charisma, and a sense of ease to the entire event, threading jokes and personal stories into discussions that could have otherwise felt too heavy or technical. He had this ability to make everyone feel connected, like we were all part of something exciting rather than just sitting through another lecture.
Someone even mentioned to me during a break that he could probably do stand-up if he wanted to, and honestly, I agree. His timing, humor, and warmth created a welcoming vibe that carried through the entire conference. But make no mistake, he’s deeply passionate about biohacking and the wellness space, which showed in the way he guided each session and engaged with the audience.
Elias wasn’t just there to host, he was there to create an experience. He set the tone for the Biohackers World Conference in a way that made everything feel fun and memorable.
Incredible Panels
One of the highlights of the event for me was being invited to speak on a panel about women’s health. Jenny Jones, who moderated the discussion, was incredible, she had this perfect blend of sharp insight and genuine warmth that made everyone on stage feel at ease and supported.
Sharing that space with women like Taja from Taja IV, Melissa Bologna (founder of Beauty and the Broth), and Susan Bratton (a true powerhouse as a sexologist) was an absolute honor. Each of us brought something unique to the conversation, gut health, hormonal balance, mental clarity, and the deeper meaning of taking ownership of your health journey as a woman. The audience wasn’t just listening, they were with us, fully engaged. Their questions were thoughtful, honest, and vulnerable. It felt less like a formal talk and more like a shared conversation between all of us.
I’ll be honest, being on stage still makes me nervous. For a long time, I struggled with the fear of putting myself out there, of being truly seen. There’s a vulnerability in standing in front of a room full of people and letting your voice be heard. But I’ve learned that vulnerability and strength aren’t opposites, they actually go hand in hand.
Standing there in Miami, I felt this quiet, powerful shift, a deep gratitude for the energy in the room, for every familiar face, and for every knowing nod from someone who understood. It wasn’t about performing or proving anything. It was about sharing experiences and insights that could genuinely make a difference for someone else.
We live in a time where we have access to tools and technologies that can transform how we live and feel. That’s powerful. But with that comes a responsibility, to show up, to share in ways that lift others up.
The nerves? They’re still there and probably always will be. But instead of trying to silence them, I’ve learned to embrace them. They remind me that I care, that the moment matters. And that’s what made this experience so special. It wasn’t just about being on a stage. It was about standing together, sharing, learning, and knowing that none of us are walking this path alone.
Interview with BrainTap & The DNA Company
Between panels at the Biohackers World Conference and Expo, I had the opportunity to sit down for interviews with two visionary leaders in health optimization: Kashif Khan from The DNA Company and Patrick Porter from BrainTap.
With Kashif, we dove deep into genetic insights and the ways personalized data can revolutionize self-care and longevity. His work at The DNA Company is reshaping how we approach preventative health, showing how our genetic blueprint can help optimize everything from physical recovery to resilience against stress.
My conversation with Patrick Porter was equally inspiring as we explored the science behind mental clarity and the ways BrainTap’s cutting-edge technology helps reduce brain fog and enhance focus. We also discussed the connection between guided meditation, brainwave optimization, and how their scans can even provide insights into your brain’s biological age.
Brands and Exhibitors That Stood Out
CODE Health
CODE Health is a brand redefining wellness through the power of energetics and saline-based formulas. They showcased unique saline drops that are charged with specific energetic frequencies designed to enhance balance, calm, and vitality. The science behind this is rooted in frequency medicine, something that resonates with anyone seeking personalized, non-invasive health solutions. The fact that each bottle is tailored for a purpose made it feel less like a “one-size-fits-all” product and more like a bespoke approach to well-being.
VibePlate
VibePlate is all about making vibration therapy accessible, effective, and versatile. Their compact platform stood out because it isn’t just about fitness, it’s about recovery, circulation, and supporting physical health holistically. Unlike traditional power plates that take up tons of space, VibePlate is designed to be portable while offering multiple vibration settings. I loved the customizable feel, it makes the product approachable whether you’re using it for muscle activation, lymphatic drainage, or simply to boost energy levels.
Bauman Medical
Bauman Medical is a leader in the world of hair restoration. Their booth was centered around their red light therapy cap, a sleek, wearable device that uses near-infrared light to gently warm the scalp and stimulate hair growth. I tried it on, and it felt like the perfect mix of advanced technology and self-care. The warming sensation was soothing, almost like a cozy scalp massage. It’s no surprise they’re one of the most recognized names in this space, known for bringing science and care together seamlessly.
Blue Scorpion Venom
Blue Scorpion Venom is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and potential to reduce pain. While it may sound intense, the venom is used homeopathically, delivering targeted benefits in a way that’s safe and therapeutic. Everyone I spoke with was curious to learn more, which made their booth one of the busiest at the expo.
Pluck
Pluck’s powdered supplements make eating organ-based nutrients so much easier. Their blends are made from grass-fed organ meats and packed with iron, vitamins, and essential nutrients that are difficult to get in modern diets. The best part? You can sprinkle it on practically anything, from eggs to soups, without altering the taste too much.
CeraThrive
CeraThrive stood out with its innovative approach to cellular health and recovery, centered around their flagship product, the CERA System, a cutting-edge red light therapy device designed to support the vital connection between the gut and the brain. Unlike traditional wellness tools, this system uses precise wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate tissues, stimulating cellular energy production and promoting healing from within.
What makes it remarkable is its dual-target design, applying light therapy simultaneously to the gut and the brain, enhancing communication along the gut-brain axis, an essential pathway for cognitive function, mood balance, and overall vitality. The device itself is sleek and user-friendly, featuring a wireless headband and abdominal panel that seamlessly fit into daily routines, making the process of health optimization both practical and effective.
The Heart of the Community
What truly set the Biohackers World Conference apart wasn’t just the cutting-edge health technology or the inspiring talks, it was the people. I reconnected with familiar faces, met new friends, and shared moments that reminded me why I’m so invested in this thriving community of like-minded individuals.
There’s something so special about being surrounded by people who “get it”, people who are just as passionate about biohacking, wellness, and longevity as you are.
