Biohacking on a Budget [2024]

If you can afford a cryotherapy chamber, fear not! There are still loads of fun and healthy biohacks you can do on a budget

Grounding

just walk or stand bare foot on the earth/grass for 5 minutes. There’s loads of research on grounding or earthing, it’s free – although you can buy mats and sheets to sleep on

Bounding / Rebounding and inversions

skip, if you can, if not jump on a trampoline or just shake and jump back and to on the spot.

inversions and bounding, are great for the lymphatic system.

Ice Baths

If you have a bath, try adding cold water and an ice brick or two.

I would add that cold water immersion does stress the heart and it can take a while to warm back up, so talk to a doctor and always have warm clothes on standby and a towel.

Red Light Therapy

Panels van cost thousands of quids, but I got one for £35 off aliexpress and it seems to do the job.

Methylene blue is a bit controversial as a supplement, but you may want to look into the pronounced effects of combining red light therapy and Methylene blue – great for energy and recovery.

NAD

NAD supplements are expensive, but full flush Niacin is cheap and raises NAD levels for extra energy and wellbeing.

Non flush can be harsh on the liver, the niacin flush is something to get used to, and enjoy, maybe.

Look into methylation and supplementing TMG before you go wild with niacin though.

Other protocols that aren’t really biohacks as such include:

wim hof breathing

Tabata interval training for fitness gains in just 4 minutes 5 times a week

One set resistance training

Intermittent fasting

supplementing berberine and alpha lipoic acid to stabilise blood glucose levels
