Optimizing Strength and Vitality Through Biohacking and Regenerative Technology in Austin

Karen Knight (00:00) I knew Upgrade Labs was right for me when my 75-year old friend said, this is the way that I'm going to live to 150. And this woman has more vitality and energy and joy for life than anyone I know. And so it's one of those people - "I want to drink what she's drinking." Hi, I'm Karen Knight, and I live in Austin, Texas. I have been a mom to 3 wonderful daughters that are all grown up. That's been my main important job, I suppose, but I'm a passionate facilitator of regenerative and biophilic design, which is well-being in our physical spaces. So I have been going to Upgrade Labs for about a year. I joined because of other women that were passionate about biohacking. And so it was important to me that I had a place where I bump into my friends and people that I care about. It was important to me, #1 - strength training. At my age, that muscle is really key, and to focus on the strength and that we all lead full So it was a way to optimize strength training and track it, and have the support. There's a lot of high touch at Upgrade Labs. There's usually, you know, somebody there as a guide, and somebody that has more information than me. What I've really come to enjoy, and I probably didn't care much about, and what's really important about Upgrade Labs is the regenerative tools. And whether you're a young person or an older person that were healthy at a cellular level. So while I can go get the strength training, it's kind of a bonus that while I'm there, that there are all of these really, kind of, fun regenerative tech tools I have more energy and vitality. We all have those energy drains in our life, but I think consistently using the restorative technology, and being on a path to keeping healthy, strong muscle, you're healthier and you feel better. Everyone's knowledgeable. And if they're not as knowledgeable as you'd like them to be, they're so curious and figuring it out with you. Healthcare isn't a one-size-fits-all. So Upgrade Labs, I think, because of the care and the high touch from the technicians, it's more unique to each individual, and what each individual needs and where you're at that day. I would say in the year that I've been working out there, I feel healthier. I have more energy and vitality. What I'm doing differently though is the restorative tech. I wouldn't have done that. At Upgrade Labs, they have so many different things, and they're always trying to bring in the newest, latest and There was something new in the gym the other day, and I can't remember what it was called. They were all excited. There's a whole suite of options to try. They're really open to the community and what you should know to have good If you're on the fence about going to I guess it takes a curious, open-minded person to try something new, but... it's worth it to go for an hour, walk in the door and see what the staff feels like. And it's fun to see what would be open and available to try or in that moment. I like to try new and different things, and some people may want to stay more in their comfort zone of what they know. And I think Upgrade Labs is kind of... it's kind of the best little kept secret in Austin. So stop in and be curious and try something you're interested in or try something that you know nothing about. It's worth it.
