Brandon says he has found the ultimate hack to living his best life
A party-mad Brit bloke says he has found the ultimate hack to being able to work hard, play hard – and still look young.
Entrepreneur Brandon Banach says he has found the winning combo which allows him to live his best life on the party island of Ibiza, without letting it show on his face and body.
He believes using skinny jabs and IV drips are a ‘biohack’ for balancing wild Ibiza trips and hard work – and stay muscle-bound and ‘youthful’, saying he goes out partying once or twice a week and enjoys many tequila club sodas without it ageing him.
But after boozing and dancing into the early hours, the 26-year-old claims he uses ‘biohacking’ methods to combat his late-night fun in order to stay youthful and tackle the post-party bloat.
The influencer has amassed more than 320,000 followers on Instagram alone through sharing his bodybuilding journey, health tips and experiments in ‘biohacking’.
Biohacking is a term used to describe changes people make in the belief it will help improve their health, lifestyle and wellbeing – and perhaps prolong their life.
Despite being a buff bodybuilder, in the run-up to a big trip Brandon takes GLP1s and follow a strict high-protein ‘clean’ meal plan while working out up to four times a week.
Although GLP1s can help people with diabetes and assist in weight loss, health chiefs warn of the increased risk of severe acute pancreatitis, which can be fatal.
The FDA warns that patients who use unapproved versions of GLP1s leave themselves at ‘risk’.
Brandon also aims for 10 hours of sleep a night on weekdays, has fast food once a meal and champions post-meal walks to aid digestion.
In a bid to curb hangovers and bloating, Brandon uses glutathione IV drips, which deliver a dose of the naturally occurring peptide.
A Channel 4 investigation revealed consumers reported suffering serious side effects from using the unregulated drips including anaphylaxis requiring hospitalisation, kidney strain and infections.
The entrepreneur, who also runs a sunglasses company, credits his ‘non-traditional’ biohacking methods for allowing him to live a party lifestyle and also ‘prolong his youth’.
Brandon, from Miami, Florida, US, said: “I think it’s easy to get carried away with the night life and partying.
“If we want to live healthy lives, we should take care of our health and do these things for longevity.
“Biohacking to me is using pharmacology in a non-traditional way. We can actually change the way that our body reacts to certain things and prolong our lives, regardless of if you’re partying or not.
“I use these methods to prolong my youth.
“I live in Miami so the night life scene is pretty strong out here, on a normal week I’m out once or twice a week.
“I don’t know if I’d recommend it to people, but there are certain things like GLP-1s that can lower your food noise.
“If I need the extra help I will take them but I try not to do this too often as you can get reliant on them.
“It depends on my schedule but if I have a trip planned and I’m going to Ibiza, I’m going to want to line it up so I can look my best in Ibiza.
“It’s pretty crazy. You can see and feel the change in the first week. You feel it as you realise you’re not really thinking about food, they work fast.
“This is a biohack I use to keep me youthful.”
Brandon says another thing he does is getting the naturally occurring peptide glutathione pumped into his body through an IV drip after a night out.
He gets the $500 treatment done twice a week, as he claims natural levels can be significantly reduced by drinking alcohol.
The entrepreneur owns the sunglasses company BVLDFRAMES, which was originally selling glasses for everyday use but now sells frames for the nightlife and festival scene too, as well as launching a World Cup series online this year.
Brandon said: “There is one peptide that I really like called glutathione and it’s something that is already produced in your liver.
“I do this once or twice a week through an IV and I do this to combat the ageing effects of partying and keep me young.”
The content creator, whose social media presence used to only focus on body building, now prefers sharing broader lifestyle content.
Brandon says bio-hacking allows him to party and maintain his trim figure and urges others to pay attention to new sciences and technology being released to slow down aging.
Brandon said: “We’re using these methods in a way that normal people wouldn’t be doing. I’m using biohacking to party.”
