Kayla Barnes-Lentz’s 2.5-hour Biohacking Routine: A Day in the Life of a Longevity Expert
Kayla Barnes-Lentz, 33, is on a mission to live to 150. She’s the co-owner of a longevity clinic in Cleveland and the host of a podcast about health optimization. She believes in the power of biohacking, a practice that involves experimenting with lifestyle changes to improve health and longevity. Barnes-Lentz’s daily routine is a testament to her commitment.
Before Work, 2.5 Hours of Biohacking
Barnes-Lentz’s morning routine takes about 2.5 hours. It starts with an “oral protocol” that includes tongue scraping, water flossing, and oil pulling. Tongue scraping and flossing are recognized as effective ways to reduce bacteria and plaque in the mouth. Oil pulling, an Ayurvedic practice, is less scientifically proven.

Barnes-Lentz uses a PEMF machine several times a day. Some research suggests that PEMF could be useful in treating osteoarthritis and bone fractures, but more evidence is needed.
Barnes-Lentz also works out, gets some sun exposure to regulate her circadian rhythm, showers, and measures her biometrics (body composition, grip strength, lung health, and blood pressure) before breakfast.
Red-Light Therapy While Working
Barnes-Lentz works from 7:30a.5
Even when she’s at her desk, she’s biohacking. This involves sitting on a “biohacking desk chair, which encourages posture, and wearing a red-light therapy cap to help her hair grow faster and thicker. Red-light therapy has been found to help with hair regrowth and build thickness and length in some trials.
In her office, she has an air-system and uses natural light instead of LEDs to avoid interrupting her rhythm. A 2023 report in the journal Frontiers in Photonics found that blue light from LEDs can sleep when people are repeatedly exposed to it for periods at night.
Barnes-Lentz also inhales humid air using a machine, which is advertised as a way to repair proteins in the body by oxidative stress. Research suggests that oxidative stress, which is caused by factors including sunlight, alcohol, and certain medications, plays a role in aging and the development of diseases. A 2022 study published in the International Journal Molecular Science suggested that the could help health and cognition in older people. The study involved people with cognitive impairment who used a for weeks, so more research is needed.
A cold plunge at lunchtime
Barnes-Lentz and her husband take plunges as part of their daily routines.
After dinner, the couple walks for minutes in the hills around their home to aid digestion, catch up on their days, and in more cardio.
Then, they a wind-down routine, which may involve more PEMF or relaxing together. At sunset, they ensure that the house is only light to promote the release of melatonin. A 2023 found no evidence that light increases melatonin secretion and, and in some cases, can alertness.
