The Biohacking Truth About Nutrition With Teri Cochrane

We’ve all heard the classic health food advice: green smoothies, lean protein, go easy on the sugar. But what if some of the foods you think are helping you actually aren't serving your body at all? On the latest episode of Biohack-HERS, HigherDOSE founders Lauren Berlingeri and Katie Kaps head into uncharted wellness territory with Teri Cochrane, celebrity nutritionist and founder of the wildly intuitive Teri Cochrane Method.

Known as the “Spiritual Scientist,” Teri blends hardcore science with high-vibe intuition. Her method combines nutrigenomics (how food influences your genes), applied kinesiology, and — wait for it — psychic aura reading to figure out which foods actually work for your unique body chemistry. It’s personalized nutrition on a whole new wavelength.

Your Genes Hold the First Clue

Lauren and Katie’s journey kicks off with an in-depth evaluation of their DNA, genetic makeup, and health history. Teri dives into the data to pinpoint genes that may be flagging nutrition-related issues — think inflammation triggers, food sensitivities, and metabolic stressors that aren’t visible to the naked eye (or even most lab tests).

But she doesn’t stop there. Once she builds her working hypothesis, Teri turns to a technique that might sound out-there—but is surprisingly rooted in science.

Muscle Testing: Woo-Woo or Legit?

Enter: kinesiology-style muscle testing. It may look a little mystical, but it’s actually a powerful way of asking the body what it needs. Here’s how it works: certain stimuli (like foods or supplements) are introduced while muscle strength is tested. If a muscle weakens, that’s your body saying “no thanks.” If it stays strong, it’s a green light.

Sounds simple? It is. But the insights are profound.

“It’s a very elegant but simple way to optimize nutrition and supplementation,” says Teri during the episode. No guesswork, no cookie-cutter plans—just straight-up biofeedback from your body.

Your Aura’s Got Something to Say, Too

Next up: energy field reading. Teri taps into Lauren and Katie’s energetic frequency to understand how emotional, environmental, and spiritual factors may be influencing how their bodies process certain foods.

Because yes—your aura might just be the missing link in your wellness routine.

In this part of the session, Teri acts as a nutrition alchemist, synthesizing science and spirit to decode the deeper signals our bodies are always sending us. From trauma imprints to energetic blocks, the energy reading adds a whole new dimension to personal nutrition.

This Isn’t Just Nutrition — It’s Frequency Medicine

By the end of their evaluation, Lauren and Katie walk away with deeply personalized insights into which foods support them, and which ones silently sabotage their health and energy.

The takeaway? There’s no such thing as a universally “healthy” diet. Food is information—and your body already knows what it needs.

Curious to know more about the Teri Cochrane Method and how biohacking with a combination of nutrigenomics, applied kinesiology, and energy reading might be the answer to healthy eating? Check out the latest episode of Biohack-HERS, out now.
