Why Your Body Needs a Reset in Your Late 20s

Wellness Catch-Up at 27: Biohacking, Sleep, Red Light Therapy & Building a Healthier Home

Lola returns to the Glow with Lola podcast for a wellness catch-up after turning 27, sharing a deeper approach to feeling good inside and out through biohacking and habit changes. She explains how past trauma, grief, and fear of illness after losing her parents—especially her mom to cancer—shaped her dedication to prevention, including getting life and critical illness insurance. Lola discusses using a Whoop watch to personalize sleep and recovery data, improving sleep routines with blackout curtains and red circadian lighting, and balancing intense training with proper recovery and awareness of menstrual cycle phases. She details new investments like red light therapy and an infrared sauna blanket, plus ongoing hormone and gut-health work (PCOS/endometriosis, bloodwork, ultrasound, naturopath care, and a stool analysis). She emphasizes cleaning up household products, switching to unscented laundry and cleaner soaps, prioritizing cotton fabrics, and pursuing balance rather than restriction in food and lifestyle.
