In this episode of Prescribing Lifestyle, Camilla Thompson joins me to share her trailblazing journey from corporate burnout and mold toxicity to becoming Australia's leading biohacking coach, keynote speaker, and author of BioHackMe.
Camilla breaks down biohacking as accessible, personalised, preventative health—empowering you to take control through science-backed strategies that fit real life (not just for Silicon Valley billionaires).
What We Cover:
Camilla's Health Journey
- Growing up with a "low tox" pioneer mum who was ahead of her time
- Living in toxic mold for years (1 in 2 Australians affected), leading to anxiety, brain fog, chronic inflammation, and misdiagnoses
- Reversing her biological age by 10 years through biohacking after detoxing her life
- Overcoming postnatal depression with Traditional Chinese Medicine (acupuncture + herbs) after SSRIs failed
Biohacking Made Simple & Accessible
- Why biohacking = personalised health through testing, data, and intuition (not expensive gadgets)
- Kitchen audit: ditch ultra-processed foods, swap plastics for glass/bamboo
- Budget biohacks: cold showers (250% dopamine boost), morning sunlight, walking in nature
- Mediterranean diet for longevity: pasture-raised eggs, avocados, olive oil, quality fats
Women vs. Men + Real Talk
- Only 3% of health research on women—we're not "little men"
- Perimenopause/menopause symptoms often mimic mold toxicity
- Architect mindset (take control) vs. victim mindset (external blame)
- Why caregivers (mostly women) face higher autoimmune rates
Camilla's Work
- BioHackMe book: practical, science-simplified guide (finalist in Australian Business Book Awards)
- 1:1 coaching with DNA methylation/genetic testing
- Bali retreats at Reviver Wellness (women-only, mother-daughter): soul + science (hyperbaric, red light, breathwork, sound healing)
Top Takeaways
- Your body can heal with the right environment—minimise toxic load without fear
- Foundations first: food quality > fancy tech
- Trust your bio-individuality—test, experiment, intuit
