In 2013, we were living a pretty conventional life.  Some things were going great, but we were also starting to notice some missing pieces.  Alisa's career was stable, but the path to advancement wasn't all that clear.  Aaron had just gone into business for himself after years of instructing for other companies, and discovered that having his name on the door didn't exactly blow any doors off in terms of business leverage. 

If you own a widget company and make all the widgets yourself, you're limited by how many widgets you can sustainably make on your own!  None of this makes us all that unusual-we've met so many people in their early to mid 30s who can completely relate.

Then there was our health.  After work hours, our version of depressurizing involved a lot of sofa time.  We both have histories of serious health issues in our families, and we actually began to resign ourselves to inherited fates without much critical thought.  Even a health scare with Alisa that autumn didn't really derail us from that behavioral pattern.

Enter biohacking.  When we discovered this concept, we could not have imagined the effect it would have on our health, on our bottom line as a vehicle for leverage, or on our world view.  

Biohacking, "activates" the body, and the system we use to leverage it seemed to activate our whole lives.  So, "A Life Activated" seemed a perfect fit to describe the big picture of what we're doing!
