Biohacking Without the BS: What’s Worth It and What’s Just Hype

Here in Utah, I hear it constantly: “I’m doing the cold plunges, red light therapy, and all the supplements… but I still feel exhausted.” And here’s the thing… those tools aren’t bad. They’re just not the foundation. And when the holidays hit… late nights, sugar, stress, travel… that foundation matters even more.

Biohacking works when you support your biology, not fight it.

Your energy, hormones, digestion, and metabolism all come back to a few core basics: blood sugar regulation, sleep, minerals, and stress response. If those are off, no ice bath is going to save you. That’s just adding stimulus to a system already overwhelmed.

The truth is, a lot of the “optimization” culture in Salt Lake City, Utah County, Park City, and even Boise (sorry these keywords are for SEO haha) is just wellness aesthetic. A curated routine that looks healthy but doesn’t necessarily support your physiology. It’s not your fault. We’ve been sold upgrades before we even build the base layer.

Here’s what actually moves the needle especially during the holidays:

• Protein at every meal

• A walk after eating (yes, even in Park City snow)

• Morning sunlight or bright light

• Magnesium + electrolytes to support stress

• One non-negotiable wind-down ritual before bed

When these are in place, then the advanced tools land.

Then you feel calmer, more present, more energized even with holiday chaos.

So here’s what you should do:

Download the Blood Sugar Blueprint! Because steady blood sugar is the foundation that makes all biohacks actually work. And it’s your best protection against holiday exhaustion, bloating, mood crashes, and burnout.
