Your watch says your HRV is 45ms. But what does that actually mean? Is it good? Bad? Should you work out today or rest? Heart rate variability (HRV) has become the go-to metric for athletes, biohackers and health enthusiasts looking to optimize their training and recovery. Unlike heart rate, which counts beats per minute, HRV…
Remember when we all became amateur pulmonologists overnight? When pulse oximeters sold out everywhere and “happy hypoxia” entered our vocabulary? The pandemic forced us to pay attention to breathing metrics most of us had never thought about before. But here’s the thing – those lessons weren’t just for a crisis. They revealed how closely our…
Imagine slipping on a t-shirt that doesn’t just cover your body, but actually reads what’s happening inside it. That’s not sci-fi anymore—it’s the growing reality of EMG-embedded smart clothing. These high-tech garments are quietly revolutionizing how we track muscle activity, optimize workouts, and even prevent injuries. While your fitness tracker counts steps, these smart clothes…
Imagine waking up to find your sleep patterns, heart rate, and DNA data exposed online. For thousands of biohackers, this nightmare became reality after several health tracking companies suffered major breaches last year. As we track more of our body’s data, we’re creating detailed biological blueprints that—in the wrong hands—can reveal more about us than…
Remember when step counters were cutting-edge? Those days are long gone. Today’s self-tracking tools can measure everything from your sleep architecture to your cellular health. As biohacking becomes mainstream, the devices we use to track and improve our biology are evolving at warp speed. Let’s cut through the marketing noise and look at the tools…
Ever wondered what foods secretly send your blood sugar soaring? Or why you crash at 3 PM despite that “healthy” lunch? Continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) – once exclusive to diabetes management – are now trending in the wellness world. But at $100+ per month, are these sleek arm sensors worth it for people without diabetes?…
Tiny sensors strapped to your wrist or finger are now making extraordinary claims: they can tell you how well you slept, how recovered your body is, and even when you should push hard or take it easy. But are the Oura Ring Gen 4 and WHOOP 5.0 actually delivering accurate data? Let’s cut through the…
Imagine having a virtual version of yourself – a mirror image that reacts to different foods, supplements, and workouts exactly like your real body would. This isnt sci-fi anymore. Digital twins are revolutionizing biohacking, allowing people to test interventions virtually before trying them in real life. The results? Faster progress, fewer setbacks, and truly personalized…
Take a deep breath. What’s in that air you just inhaled? Most of us live in homes filled with invisible factors affecting our sleep, focus and overall health – but we can’t manage what we don’t measure. The solution? Your very own environmental monitoring system. With basic components and a weekend of tinkering, you can…
