Why "Biohacking" is a bullshit band-aid

Nov 21, 2025

Biohacking is not healing. It’s just a new band-aid with a fancier name. It makes you feel like you are fixing the problem when you actually might be making things worse and not even realizing that what you are doing is causing this other new symptom "over here" that you didn't have before...

Most of what’s being sold under “biohacking” is a shiny distraction that keeps people from doing the actual work of getting better. Especially if you’re dealing with mystery symptoms—fatigue, gut issues, anxiety, skin problems, or brain fog—and your labs are normal.

Here’s the problem:

You can’t “hack” your way out of symptoms that are coming from toxicity, poor digestion, immune suppression, and hidden bugs living in your body. That’s not something a cold plunge or mushroom latte is going to fix.

But that’s what everyone’s doing. It’s easy to get swept up in the world of biohacking. The gadgets. The tests. The trackers. The powders.
It feels like you’re doing something.

But if you're still dealing with symptoms and nothing is working, there's a reason: biohacking doesn’t address the root cause.

Your body doesn’t need more stimulation—it needs reliefRelief from toxic overload, poor digestion, nutritional gaps, immune suppression, and pathogens your body can’t fight off.

All of which can be causing your symptoms right now before anything shows up on labs.

You know what’s not cute?

Spending $900 on a red light panel while your immune system is asleep on the job because you’re eating sugar, drinking from plastic, and can’t digest protein.

Welcome to the world of biohacking—where people are micromanaging their REM cycles but still can’t poop every day.

Biohacks I see people wasting money on all the time:

  • DNA testing: “You might be at risk for fatigue.” Cool, I already have fatigue. Now what?

  • Cold plunges: Look, Wim Hof might be cool, but he’s not clearing candida out of your gut.

  • Red light panels: Your bugs are throwing a rave in your body—and you think a light is going to make them leave?

  • Mushroom lattes: Delicious! But not going to cancel out the inflammation from that oat milk.

  • Sleep trackers: Nothing like watching your insomnia in high-def. NO solutions provided.

  • Peptides: Just because something works "in theory" doesn’t mean your overloaded, inflamed and blocked nervous system can handle it.

  • Nootropics: Brain fog from malabsorption and toxicity doesn’t care how “stacked” your focus blend is.

These things don’t fix anything. They just stimulate a broken system that’s not working. And sometimes, that makes things worse.

What actually works?

Here’s a wild idea: What if we stop trying to hack a system that’s screaming for help… and start actually supporting it?

If your digestion is broken, your immune system is blocked, and your body is toxic—start there. That’s where the magic happens (the real kind).

It’s not sexy. It’s not trending. But it works. Every. Single. Time.
