LIBiohacking is exciting ā but not every trend is worth the hype.
In a recent conversation, Jonathan Hacker shared a refreshingly honest take: heās 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 āshock yourselfā trend.
His bigger point? Both the wellness industry and pharma have blind spots.
š¹ In pharma, financial incentives can sometimes discourage re-examining drugs that underperform or have concerning side effects.
š¹ In wellness, many fast-moving products hit the market with little to no research ā and some are simply poorly made knockoffs of existing devices.
The takeaway: curiosity is good, but evidence matters.
Before jumping into the latest biohack, itās worth asking:
āļø Is there solid research behind it?
āļø Is the device well-made and properly tested?
āļø Does the potential benefit outweigh the risk?
Not every shiny new biohack deserves a place in your routine.
