Ensure new supplements undergo FDA vetting for safety
The FDA is closing the 'generally recognized as safe' loophole, meaning every new supplement compound will now need to be vetted before it hits the market.
Leverage biometric data to create your medical avatar
Your biometric data could soon feed into a 'medical avatar,' a living digital twin of your body that predicts health problems before you even feel symptoms.
Leverage gene variant to reverse cardiac aging and promote new blood vessel growth
A gene variant found in people who live past 100, lav bpifb4, has been shown to reverse signs of cardiac aging and grow new blood vessels in lab animals.
Choose kava for social relaxation without sleep disruption
Tru Kava offers the relaxing social benefits of alcohol by increasing GABA, dopamine, and serotonin, without destroying your sleep score or metabolic health.
Take 2000iu of vitamin D daily to slow DNA aging
A new five-year study found that taking 2000iu of vitamin D daily slowed telomere shortening by an amount equivalent to being a couple of years biologically younger.
Train recovery actively with HeartMath HRV exercises
Instead of only tracking recovery, you can actively train it with a device like HeartMath, which uses HRV exercises to shift your nervous system into a state of coherence.
Maintain 25-hydroxy D levels between 60 and 80 for optimal health
For optimal cellular benefits from vitamin D, your 25-hydroxy D blood level should be in the 60 to 80 range.

Reduce cardiovascular death with daily cocoa extract
The massive Cosmos trial found that older adults taking a daily cocoa extract rich in flavanols saw a 27% reduction in cardiovascular deaths.
Leverage spirulina for collagen support and DNA protection
New studies show spirulina supports collagen production and protects DNA from oxidative stress, leading to a 'green stacking' trend with chlorella.
Protect your bio-data with new privacy legislation
A new Senate bill aims to extend HIPAA-level privacy protections to data from wearables and wellness apps, recognizing that your biology should belong to you.
Utilize hydrogen water to energize cells and reduce oxidative stress
Hydrogen is the only molecule small enough to get deep inside your cells, mitochondria, and even your DNA to fuel energy and reduce oxidative stress.
Utilize AI stethoscope to detect early health issues
The FDA-cleared Keku 2.0 AI digital stethoscope allows home users to detect subtle changes in heart and lung sounds weeks before symptoms might appear.
Upgrade mattress for enhanced sleep quality with EMF protection
The Essentia mattress offers an upgrade with enhanced EMF protection built into its organic foam to improve REM and deep sleep cycles.
Implement sauna and ice pack protocol to detox microplastics
Biohacker Bryan Johnson published lab-verified results showing an 85% reduction in semen microplastics using daily 200-degree dry saunas followed by ice packs on the groin.
Accelerate cellular experiments with AI model from DeepMind and Yale
Google DeepMind and Yale launched an open-source AI model called 'Cell to Sentence Scale' that allows scientists to simulate cellular experiments in days instead of years.
Utilize first blood test to diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome
Scientists have developed the first accurate blood test for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) by measuring specific DNA methylation and microRNA patterns.
Activate healing with Vibrant Blue Oil's parasympathetic blend
Vibrant Blue Oil's parasympathetic blend is an essential oil applied behind the ears to activate the nervous system's healing mode by switching off the stress response.
Reduce aggression by supplementing with omega-3s
A new meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials found that omega-3 supplementation can reduce both reactive and proactive aggression by up to 28%.
Rethink long-term melatonin use to reduce heart failure risk
Long-term nightly melatonin use, a hormone and not a vitamin, is linked to nearly doubled heart failure risk and can disrupt other key hormones affecting testosterone and fertility.
