Today we’d like to introduce you to Kristina Burkhan.
Hi Kristina, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
I have been working in the fashion industry since I was 16 and I have always suffered from the eating disorder orthorexia, but I realized it only years later when hormonal problems began and this is where my way to preventive medicine started. I have an education a Master’s degree in history of art and I completed the Bachelor’s program majoring in State and municipal management.
But I have always been interesting in wellness and fitness industry and in 2017 I created my own project Fitballet https://fitballet.ru which gave rise to a new direction based on the mix of classical ballet and barre training in Russia and it had been very popular for three years.
But unfortunately, in 2020, when the pandemic began, I was forced to close this project. At that moment I got a lot of stress due to many aspects of my personal life and work and my hormonal problems reached its peak, so I couldn’t ignore it anymore. I went to the different doctors, and they’re all told me that I should take pharmaceuticals and possibly on a permanent basis.
I was not ready for that at the age of 27. So I was determined to find another natural way to recovery. After going through a lot of alternative specialists, I realized that many of them contradict to each other. So how to found the truth? That’s was always question on my head. And the only way out for me was to get a new profession into The International Institute of Integral Preventive and Anti-Aging Medicine “Preventage” licensed by the European Coaching Association (ECA) and to help to myself.
So soon I was able to solve my hormonal problems easily by following a natural, holistic approach. Discovering my own health formula, which is unique and individual just like me.
And I can say now at the age of 32 thanks to this knowledge, I look better, younger and more beautiful than I looked ten years ago when I was 22. And I am still in demand in the fashion industry as a model! But most importantly, I feel much better now and I have more energy, drive and motivation than ever before.
I utilize my knowledge and skills, along with understanding of the unique features and needs of my body. So I can say I discovered the secret of eternal youth for myself and I decided to start to help to people to find their ways to balanced, happy and healthy life. To become ageless people like me and the goal of my life is to create the generation of ageless people who knows and loves their bodies.
So this is how my journey of individual wellness counseling began. But at some point, I started to feel that this was not enough and that alone I couldn’t help as much people as I want. So that’s how the idea of Biohack Corp was born https://biohackconsult.com. After my moving to the States and delving even more into the topic of biohacking and preventive medicine, I found a partner and decided to assemble a team of professional health coaches and create a project that provides Biohacking consulting services not only for individuals but too big corporations too. So thus we can help as many people as possible to find their way to the healthy and happy life like I found it for myself.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
1. The problems with health which I get from the fashion industry where you always meet with imposed standards and when you’re a young girl so you don’t know how to handle it. Unfortunately, often this is the way to some mental problems like eating disorders for example which I had. But thanks to this problem I found my way to be healthy and beautiful and I met my passion preventive medicine and biohacking.
2. Of course pandemic was the biggest challenge for all of us and for me too. I had to close my lovely project, my “child” Fitballet. And it was big pain for me. But after this chapter, I opened the new one which contains part of my previous project too.
3. And of course a big challenge for me was moving from my country, from my family and friends so unexpectedly when the war started. We were going to the Dominican Republic with my mom for vacation and my plan was to coming back to home, to Moscow. But fate decreed otherwise and last year I live in my journey creating my new life, new projects, new business, and new me).
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?

What sort of changes are you expecting over the next 5-10 years?
I believe that in the near future, there is must be a revolution in the approach to the healthcare and traditional medicine, and I will contribute to that as much as I can. Humanity finally must realize that this is just much easier and I can say much less costly to prevent than to heal the consequences. But all we are know when we talk about health, it’s priceless…
