LIBiohacking is exciting — but not every trend is worth the hype.
In a recent conversation, Jonathan Hacker shared a refreshingly honest take: he’s not a fan of non-invasive electrical stimulation devices. After personally trying a transcranial direct current stimulator and having a painful experience, he stepped back from the whole “shock yourself” trend.
His bigger point? Both the wellness industry and pharma have blind spots.
🔹 In pharma, financial incentives can sometimes discourage re-examining drugs that underperform or have concerning side effects.
🔹 In wellness, many fast-moving products hit the market with little to no research — and some are simply poorly made knockoffs of existing devices.
The takeaway: curiosity is good, but evidence matters.
Before jumping into the latest biohack, it’s worth asking:
✔️ Is there solid research behind it?
✔️ Is the device well-made and properly tested?
✔️ Does the potential benefit outweigh the risk?
Not every shiny new biohack deserves a place in your routine.
