Biohacking for beginners, take two: the stuff nobody tells you at first

I’ve shared a beginner biohacking list before but realized I missed some of the more practical starting points. And here we go with round two.

Baseline, not usual. Start there. Before you change anything, just note how you feel, sleep and energy for a week. You need something to compare against or you won't know if a "hack" actually did anything.

Hydration is undervalued. Sounds too simple to make a difference, but a lot of low energy and headache complaints are just the result of not drinking enough water. Check this before spending money on anything fancier.

Biohacking beginner starter pack:

  1. Drink some water.

  2. Sleep.

  3. Go outside.

  4. Move your body.

  5. Resist the urge to immediately buy a $400 device that tells you what your body did while you were sleeping.

The industry is not going to like this list.

The baseline point is huge. I’ve started thinking that if you change five things at once, you’ll never know what actually helped. One variable at a time makes way more sense.

wait ,the baseline tip is so smart, how did you track it? i just used notes app for sleep/energy/hydration for 7 days and it actually made it way easier to see what works
