When Biohacking Becomes Burnout: The Feminine Rebellion Against Elitist Wellness with Camilla Thompson

Biohacking with Brittany

Australian biohacker and author Camilla Thompson dives into what it really takes to get well—beyond the gadgets, green juices, and “optimized” routines. We unpack how biohacking is evolving in Australia and New Zealand, why wellness feels elitist, and how to make it more accessible.

We also get real about detoxing in a toxic world, the hormonal cost of our environments, and how to find balance between data and intuition in biohacking. If you’re a health-curious woman craving grounded wellness—less obsession, more embodiment—this episode is for you.
