24 Best Biohacking Books

David Sinclair, writing with Matthew D. LaPlante, presents a theory of aging and explores research into extending healthy life. He discusses emerging technologies and lifestyle practices while arguing that aging should be understood as a potentially treatable condition.

Peter Attia, writing with Bill Gifford, examines longevity through prevention, exercise, nutrition, sleep, and emotional health. He argues for addressing risks earlier and maintaining physical and cognitive function, using research and clinical experience to develop his framework.

Ben Greenfield presents an extensive program of biohacking, nutrition, exercise, and recovery aimed at improving mind and body. Chapters discuss cognition, stress, sleep, supplementation, and aging through his proposed approach to optimizing health and performance.

Dave Asprey describes his personal biohacking experiments and the eating plan he developed from them. The book classifies foods within a dietary framework and presents his recommendations for managing weight, energy, concentration, and everyday eating habits.

Matthew Walker examines sleep and dreaming, presenting research on their relationship with learning, emotions, and physical health. He discusses changing sleep patterns, the effects of substances such as caffeine, and the consequences of insufficient sleep.

James Nestor travels through labs, ancient texts, breathing schools, and his own experiments to ask why humans breathe so poorly. He blends history and science with practical ideas about nasal breathing, sleep, performance, and everyday health.

Patrick McKeown presents his approach to breathing training for health and athletic performance. The book explains his emphasis on nasal breathing and offers exercises intended to change breathing habits and improve the body's use of oxygen.

Ferriss gathers personal experiments and advice on diet, exercise, sleep, and sexual performance. The book investigates how relatively small changes might affect physical outcomes, presenting routines and unconventional approaches drawn from athletes, specialists, and his own testing.

Fung and Jimmy Moore explain intermittent, alternate-day, and extended fasting through their proposed approach to nutrition and metabolic health. The guide discusses different schedules, managing hunger, common questions, and the practical challenges involved in adopting fasting routines.

Olli Sovijärvi, Teemu Arina, and Jaakko Halmetoja present a biohacking approach to sleep, nutrition, exercise, work, and mental well-being. Illustrations and references accompany their suggestions for experimenting with everyday habits and using technology to monitor personal performance.

Dave Asprey proposes a biohacking program aimed at improving mental performance through changes to daily life. He discusses brain energy, nutrition, and environmental influences, organizing his recommendations into a two-week plan for greater focus and cognitive resilience.

Dave Asprey presents his approach to aging through seven proposed sources of cellular decline. Personal experiments accompany discussions of diet, sleep, light, exercise, and other interventions that he argues could improve present performance and extend healthy life.

Satchin Panda explains circadian rhythms and their relationship with sleep, eating, light, and physical activity. Drawing on research into biological clocks, he discusses how the timing of everyday routines can affect the body's patterns of activity and rest.

Navaz Habib presents his approach to vagus nerve function and its proposed relationship with common health concerns. Explanations of the body's rest-and-digest system accompany daily and weekly routines intended to support recovery and general well-being.

Kelly Starrett presents a system for understanding movement, mobility, and physical maintenance. Illustrated guidance covers body positioning, common strength exercises, and techniques for addressing restrictions, helping readers examine movement habits that affect athletic performance.

Jack Kruse presents his nutritional and environmental approach to metabolism, chronic illness, and aging. Drawing on his personal experience and clinical perspective, he connects Paleo ideas with epigenetics and challenges conventional explanations of obesity and related conditions.

Dan Brulé introduces conscious breathing through his Breath Mastery approach, drawing on years of teaching and practice. The guide explores using breathwork for relaxation, concentration, performance, and spiritual growth, with techniques intended for everyday situations.

Siim Land connects intermittent fasting and resistance training within his approach to muscle development and longevity. He discusses autophagy, nutrient-sensing pathways, circadian rhythms, food choices, and supplements, proposing ways to balance periods of growth and cellular maintenance.

Dave Asprey presents his approach to improving physical and mental performance while reducing unnecessary effort. The book discusses nutrition, exercise, recovery, and technology through his biohacking framework, combining personal experiences with proposed strategies for changing daily habits.

John Little and Doug McGuff present their approach to strength training through brief, infrequent, high-intensity workouts. Explanations of exercise physiology accompany illustrated routines and discussions of recovery, individual differences, and the authors' interpretation of research on physical conditioning.

Josh Axe presents a thirty-day ketogenic eating program with several alternative protocols for different lifestyles. Recipes, shopping lists, and exercise routines accompany his explanation of the diet and his arguments about its potential effects on health.

Anthony DiClementi presents his approach to improving energy and concentration through changes to the body's internal and external environment. Drawing on personal experiments and coaching experience, he discusses nutrition, exercise, supplementation, and strategies for individualized performance goals.

James Lee combines and expands material from his earlier books on aging and the brain. He examines neurochemistry, supplements, cellular aging, and lifestyle factors, presenting his proposed framework for improving cognitive performance and supporting a longer life.

Nicolas Pineault argues for reducing exposure to electromagnetic fields from everyday technology. Combining discussions of research and policy disagreements with practical suggestions, he examines smartphones, wireless networks, and household devices while advocating changes to how people use them.
