Biohacking Books

Just started reading Ben Greenfield’s Boundless on my Kindle

I really like Ben’s relentless focus on the pursuit of optimal health and self-experimentation - I like to think I am open to trying out new ideas in health but he does way more than I probably would!

He also looks incredible for his age and while I’d normally suspect fillers and botox, I think he’s said he doesn’t do either (or at least he mentions in his book that they are not needed). He also grows all of his own food and hunts his own meat - something I’d also love to do one day. I have no idea about his political views, but from what I’ve heard or read to date he seems to be a decent guy.


David Sinclair’s Lifespan is probably going to be next on my list:


Anyone else reading or read any books on biohacking?

@AstonJ - did you read Lifespan? I’m interested in that one.
I want to read The Longevity Diet - Valter Longo and Blue Zones - Dan Buettner. I certainly do not want to live forever, but I do want to be healthy and fit right to the end :smiley:

Can you vet these books as actually having actionable practices for health improving?

This sounds… horrible. Sensationalistic tone, hyping up the audience, and ultimately saying nothing.

Even if it’s a very useful book, such a marketing lingo is extremely off-putting.
