The blog (featuring some seriously actionable articles of exhaustive length) on everything from biohacking, smart drugs, and mind hardware to anti-aging, social dynamics, and philosophy.
I've used 5-HTP infrequently, but this article is mostly going to focus on decoding what the human studies are saying about 5-HTP and how this squares up with the anecdotal experiences of Biohackers online. For more of my personal experiences, thoughts, and comparisons, please see the written and video reviews in the sidebar.

While everyone else is hoping that 2025 will be a better year than those earlier this decade, I suggest that you think more about 2030...
And I know what you might be thinking…

I was interviewed by my friend Cahlen, who read my book on the Modern Day Wizards podcast.
I address the vexing question: how does a man meet and win the heart, mind, and body of a quality woman with good values - a potential life partner?

HRV is a topic I've been interested in for a while as a Biohacker. I've completed over 300 HRV training sessions with HeartMath's devices; which has made me a better meditator and generally, a cooler cat. HRV is a particularly pragmatic metric for the Biohacker thanks to the abundance of science done on the topic and the advent of consumer-grade devices you can use to track yours.
The Pulse Cure, by Dr. Torkil Færø, is the most recent (and, in my opinion, approachable and actionable) book on the topic. The book is the result of a study group of 198 Norwegian volunteers that Dr. Torkil (as he refers to himself on his popular Instagram account) led in using HRV wearables. It is punctuated by a number of anecdotes from Dr. Torkil's Garmin watch study group. For example: Melina, 41, adds
Don’t get stressed out thinking that you have to follow all of the scores and data every single day. Go at your own pace! Eventually you won’t need to track all the data. You will learn when it is the right time to check your status. (p. 94)
Tusen takk (Norwegian for “a thousand thank-yous”), Melina!
