Our Favorite Biohacking Tools:
- Infrared Sauna: Many studies have looked at using infrared saunas in the treatment of long-lasting health problems and found some proof that saunas may help. Conditions studied include high blood pressure, heart failure, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, headache, type 2 diabetes, and arthritis.
- Red Light Therapy: According to the Cleveland Clinic, red light therapy is thought to work by acting on the “power plant” in your body’s cells called mitochondria. With more energy, other cells can do their work more efficiently, such as repairing skin, boosting new cell growth and enhancing skin rejuvenation.
- Castor Oil Packs: According to AdvancedNaturopathic.com, “The lymphatic system is like the sewer system of the body. Toxins, infections, metals, dead cells and debris from all over the body are collected and cleaned up by the lymphatic system then brought to the liver for filtering and emptied out the colon. When our lymphatic system is not working effectively, waste and toxins can build up, this can lead to a depressed immune system, inefficient bowel movements, worsening food sensitivities, ultimately leading to inflammation and disease. Therefore, castor oil packs can increase lymphatic drainage, detoxify the body, strengthen the immune system, improve bowel movements, reduce food sensitivities, decrease inflammation, prevent disease and enhance overall health.”
- Grounding Bed Sheets: Grounding sheets are effective in helping people relax and sleep better. Studies have shown that grounding sheets can reduce stress, manage pain levels, improve mood, and improve the overall quality of sleep.
- Dry Brushing: Dermatologist Dr. Khetarpal says “Dry brushing unclogs pores in the exfoliation process. It also helps detoxify your skin by increasing blood circulation and promoting lymph flow/drainage.”
- PEMF Mat: PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy, which is a type of therapy that promotes cellular communication to enhance self-healing and wellness.
- Levels glucose monitor: A continuous glucose monitor (CGM) is a small device that measures your blood glucose in real-time.
