GARMIN Index™ S2 Smart Scale

Demand more than your weight from your bathroom scales. Female longevity biohacker Kayla Barnes-Lentz uses smart scales to track bone density, body composition and fat and muscle mass. Get a read on your finer vitals by stepping onto these scales by GARMIN.

Bon Charge Full Spectrum Light Bulb

Biohacking means prioritising sleep and the circadian rhythm for improved wellness across the board. Setting the scene for an evening routine could look like turning off the WIFI and bluetooth to reduce EMFS, and going screen-free to produce the melatonin- the hormone needed to signal the body it’s time for sleep. This bulb is a flicker-free, high quality and produces warm lighting to accompany a winding down routine.

ProCook Uncoated Stainless Steel Frying Pan

Biohacking means looking at every material you use across the home. PFOA (polytetrafluoroethylene) used for cookware coating has been linked to health problems, and this coating could leach into the food and may lead to contamination. Using stainless steel or iron cookware means food is free from any nasties.

Mobility Smart Digital Hand Dynamometer 

Grip strength is highly correlated to longevity as the hand indicates a link to the rest of the muscle mass in the body. A digital hand dynamometer is one of the main methods biohackers use to get a precise picture of their metrics.

Cymbiotika Topical Magnesium oil

Praised for its high absorption and myriad of health benefits, Magnesium is a biohacker favourite. Known to improve sleep, relieve stress, muscle soreness, constipation, PMS symptoms and more, magnesium can be massaged into muscles or rubbed into feet.

Hydrea London Beech Wood Body Brush

Dry brushing is an ancient way of stimulating the lymphatic system. The process entails brushing the whole body with a natural fibre brush to boost circulation, drain out toxins and improve the quality of the skin.
