7 Expert Biohacker Tips That You Can Use Today

The actual word "biohacking" may be a new craze, fad, niche...whatever you want to call it - but the idea of squeezing every ounce of potential out of our bodies and minds is as old as humanity itself.

We might as well call the cavemen who invented tools, weapons and fire the first "biohackers".

At Natural Stacks, we define the term "biohacking" as any specific, conscious action undertaken with the intent to elicit an outcome better than would have happened under "normal" or other circumstances.

If you head to your favorite coffee shop and manipulate your surroundings for better focus or productivity, you're hacking productivity and focus.

If you use progressive overload to trick your body into lifting heavier objects, you're bodybuilding - and hacking your biology.

If you use supplements or take special pre & post workout drinks, you're "hacking" - or at least OPTIMIZING - what we know about our biology.

We asked some of the top biohackers in the world for their best tips on biohacking for beginners. Here are the Top 7 Tips from some of the world's leading biohackers:

Increase Immunity, Bloodflow & Decompress Your Spine with INVERSION

Turn OFF The TV!

"My number one tip to a beginner biohacker would be to remove your TV from your house. I used to watch my favorite shows for at least two hours a day. Thats 14 hours a week and 56 hours a month that I could spend on getting in optimal mental and physical shape. And if you're paying for cable it saves you money that you could be spending on the best nutrition to make your mind as clear as possible to search for and create your future."

Make Your Days LESS STRESSFUL by Prioritizing Your Schedule

"My #1 hack, lately, has been waking up early so I knock out cardio, breakfast and then I get artwork done. This makes my day a whole lot less-stressful. Getting these few things done early are important to me, so I can have the rest of the day to devote to a solid training session where I'm not worried about time. I'm able to prep meals and go to work knowing I have gotten so much achieved! At night, I use the Bulletproof sleep mat and take GABA. This way, I fall into a deep sleep very rapidly" so I'm rested and ready to do it all again the next day!

Use Supplements to Detoxify Your Body and Optimize Function

Natasha Wiscombe, from Bulletproof explains, "I spend a lot of time on the road at conferences, dinners and the occasional drink so when I can’t eat the way I know my body functions best I’ll incorporate some upgraded coconut charcoal to help absorb some of the potentially toxic substances from my digestive tract. These things have saved me many a times and bar none is my favorite on-the-road supplement.

As a female I care a lot about the health of my skin and as a human being I care a lot about my gut health so I always carry around collagen to add to my hot morning beverage.

It may look a little funny pulling out a bag of white powder and dumping it into my coffee so I’ve started using a fill-n-go funnel people typically use for protein powders - I can easily store at least a weeks worth of collagen in (perfect for work trips!).

Collagen is a multi-tool of healing whether it be for your tissues, tendons, cartilage and gut – getting in this quality supplement first thing in the morning helps me check off at least one health box to set a positive tone for the day."
