We have compiled a full list of biohacking devices that will improve your health in numerous ways.
The Bahé Running shoes have recently launched and are a real game-changer when it comes to grounding (running) shoes. Grounding, a term that any biohacker has heard, is a technique that involves doing activities that electrically reconnect you to the earth, or “ground” you. The science behind grounding comes from the phenomenon that electric charges from the earth can have a positive effect on the body.
Bahé, meaning ‘flow’ in Hindi, has brought biohackers the shoes they need to stay connected to the earth. With sustainability at its core, Bahé is one of the best shoes for biohackers in 2022. If you’re in the market for new kicks, you’ll love them!
One of my personal favorites and the go-to drink for any biohacker that does not want to wake up feeling hungover: Edi Spirits combines the best of both worlds, giving you an endorphin boost during the night without the headaches in the morning. Trust me, they have done their fair share of drug testing!
Originally launched in 2020, Edi Spirits have quickly developed itself into “a new kind of unwinding” as they call it. They are using a smart blend of naturally uplifting ingredients including hemp, CBD (cannabidiol), nootropics, and ancient adaptogens. The non-alcoholic blend will give you the feeling of a true night out (excitement, endorphin release) without actually causing alcohol-related issues. A true biohacker product!
Ever since we’re glued to our phones 24/7, blue light has been wreaking havoc inside our brains. Artificial blue light from all sources (monitors, smartphones, indoor lighting, the list goes on) has been shown to disrupt the circadian rhythm and decrease sleep quality when used before bed. Enough reason to get yourself a true blue light blocking glasses.
Bon Charge sells all kinds of products related to sleep improvement. The glasses' color says a lot about the blue light blocking effectivity. The transparent lenses only block about 10% of harmful blue light, whilst glasses that use yellow lenses block around 50% of the harmful blue light.
Glasses that use red/orange lenses block near 100% of the harmful blue light. Use this information wisely and get yourself a Bon Charge glasses that suits you best!
Whilst we’re talking about the light spectrum as we know it might as well dive into the opposite of blue light: red light. Red light therapy (RLT) is a form of light therapy that helps heal skin, muscle tissue, joints as well as other parts of the body. Light Rising have an extremely wide range of applicationsFor an exhaustive list by the founders of Red Light Rising themselves, see this blog post. The science behind the RLT finds its roots in the powerhouses of our cells, the mitochondria. By exposing our skin to red light, our mitochondria can produce more energy. A true biohacker device!
Instead of focusing on light, Altos Air has made a revolutionary device that will help you carefully watch and optimize the air you live in. The biohacking company brands itself as the first personal accessory to ensure air composition is right for optimal cognitive performance, basing its product's existence on research that shows indoor CO2 pollution affects the brain’s decision-making performance.
The Altos Air devices come with a handy mobile app, allowing you to stay tuned to air composition changes with push notifications and monitor your brain fuel dynamics with historical graphs. You can even install widgets on your home screen alerting you when your brain fuel level goes down.
Whoop has just released version 4.0 of the innovative fitness and health tracker and it’s full of new features. The screen-less band allows you to track training recovery, sleep and health metrics and the intuitive app gives you personalized recommendations and coaching feedback to help you reach your full fitness potential.
The hardware band comes for free when signing up for their monthly membership (otherwise it will cost you around $52, €49).
Throughout the day, starting when we wake, our body’s heart rate and temperature rise. When it’s time to go to bed, our body has been releasing this heat and cooling the body down to sleep better. The Chilipad by Chili Sleep is a cooling mattress that helps you fall asleep faster by cooling your core body temperature down to an optimal level.
It comes easily installable and without any dangers of electrical wires or EMF radiation. And the best part: it can be separately adjusted for the two different sides of the bed, so no argument there!
An honorable mention in this list of biohacking devices is the Bulletproof Brain Octane C8 MCT Oil. Founded by the founding father of biohacking himself, Dave Asprey, the Brain Octane C8 MCT Oil supplies the brain with fat-burning, brain-powering ketone energy. Just like Altos Air, it helps improve your cognitive performance and keeps you sharp.
The MCT oil is flavorless so it’s perfect for mixing into your morning coffee or a smoothie.
A product that cannot be excluded from this list is, of course, the Oura Ring. Just like Whoop, Oura has made a strong presence in the wearables industry as being one of the first wearables to give you a readiness score. The readiness score, combined with Oura’s amazing sleep system tracking capabilities, make it a must-have for any biohacker, aiding them from diagnosis treatment to improving sleep quality.
Oura has recently released their Gen3 ring that comes with a premium subscription. The ring itself comes in four colors and is made from lightweight titanium, making it wearable and durable at the same time.
To finish off the list of biohacker’s essentials we would like to introduce AquaTru. The need for clean water is ever-growing and AquaTru brings clean water into every home by creating both portable and stationary water filtration systems. The filtration is done through a process called reverse osmosis, which is commonly known as one of the most accessible and best filtration types available.
A recent study by The Guardian in 2021 concluded that 35% of tested US water samples contained too high concentrations of PFAS, 8% contained arsenic (yes, the poison) levels that were too high and a stunning 98% of samples had detectable levels of lead. Make sure you filter it properly when you indulge in tap water. Doing a check on the water quality in your area can also help.
