How about giving the gift of wellness this Christmas… to yourself or to a loved one?
While some of these gifts might seem unconventional, in keeping with the theme of health and wellness and further to my recent post about biohacking, I thought it might be fun to post some products that people who are passionate about health and wellness are using to enhance their health and well-being outside the realm of traditional medicine . Truth be told, some of these are gifts that I would have certainly appreciated during my health journey.
These health and wellness gifts are gifts that are meant to help with longevity, combat inflammation, help with skin, sleep, cell repair and even help control blood sugar and weight.
( I am not a Health-care professional. Information I provide is based on my personal experience and what I have learned through my journey. What works for me might not work for everyone!)
Here are my top 10 picks for Gifts for Biohackers this Christmas
1. Red Light Therapy Device:
Pain relief, anti-aging, reducing inflammation, weight loss and improved sleep are just a few of the benefits that are reported with the use of Red Light therapy. You don’t need an expensive red light therapy bed to experience the benefits.
Red Light Therapy Boosts Cellular Energy Production. The most well studied mechanism of action surrounding red and near infrared light therapy is increased MITOchondrial energy production in the cells.
Proven benefits of red and near infrared light therapy include:
Promotes wound healing and tissue repair
Supports collagen production / anti-aging
Reduces swelling and inflammation (pain)
Improves joint health
Improves physical performance, muscle recovery and energy levels
Increases melatonin / improves sleep
Mito Red Light has a variety of products to suit different budgets and has rave reviews with prices ranging from $199 for home products up to about $18,999.00 for commercial products. Check out their products here.
( I am personally using Red light therapy for it's health benefits and will blog about my 30 day results with it soon... so far, amazing sleep and my energy is through the roof!)

3. Cold Plunge/ Portable Ice Bath
Cold plunging is all the craze lately and for good reason. The reported benefits are phenomenal - reduced inflammation, increased blood circulation, weight loss, decrease in muscle soreness to name just a few.
While there are a wide array of products on the market and multiple ways you can do your cold plunges (cold lake swim, bathtub) Nurecover offers an affordable one. Use Inspira15 as a discount code to get 15% off here.
4. Infrared Sauna Blanket
Some say the health benefits of an infrared sauna blanket may exceed those of a sauna - including alleviating muscle soreness, joint pain, and stiffness. This promoting better blood circulation, which aids in reducing inflammation and easing pain.
Mihigh's Infrared Sauna blanket boastsbeing able to Burn up to 300-600 calories per session. Price
5. Feel Great System
A little bit of an unconventional gift but if someone offered this to me a year ago, I would
have called it the best present ever. More and more people are realizing that their health truly is in their hands. Medications to control thyroid, blood sugar, blood pressure and anything related to metabolic health are at an all time high and many are realizing that small changes to diet are having extraordinary results whereas medications do not always treat the problem. ( I am not a health professional and am writing only based on my personal experience and that of some of my peers)
Enter the Feel Great Sytem. By implementing a few small changes to my diet, I was able to finally lose 20 lbs ( and still losing) after nothing else works. My husband lost 29 lbs and our energy is through the roof.
The Feel Great System isn't just a wellness program; it's a science-backed lifestyle transformation. Using two natural, food-based products, the Feel Great System is designed to supercharge your energy, stabilize blood sugar, combat insulin resistance, manage your appetite and cravings, uplift your mood, and assist in weight loss.

6. Vibration Plate
Advocates say that as little as 15 minutes a day of whole-body vibration three times a week may aid weight loss, burn fat, improve flexibility, enhance blood flow, reduce muscle soreness after exercise, build strength and decrease the stress hormone cortisol.
Lifepro carries a good beginner vibration plate at an affordable price.
7. Qualia Supplements / Neurohacker Collective
Brain health and Nootropics are on the rise. Nootropics are substances that some people believe can enhance cognitive functions like memory and focus, often referred to as "smart drugs" or "cognitive enhancers.
Yes, I know that it isn't the most conventional gift, but the Biohacker in your life would probably love to have this in his/her Christmas stocking!
8. Qualia Supplements / Longevity Pack
Nothing but rave reviews on this one for those searching for the fountain of youth. Can be bought individually or as a bundle. The "optimized" aging products featured on their site are backed by science and they fully publish all the research related to their products on their site.
9. ChiliPAD Sleep System
We all know the importance of sleep but did you know the importance of "cool" sleep.
Not enough sleep increases the chances of developing significant health issues, and raises the risk of conditions such as high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, and Type 2 Diabetes.
We sleep better when we're cooler, according to science, and this sleep system does just that. The chiliPAD Sleep System, is one of the top-rated home sleep remedies, includes a trademarked cooling mattress pad, a hydropowered thermal regulating control unit, and a remote to easily control the temperature.
10. Fittrack Smart Scale
Dubbed " The world's most accurate smart scale", this scale boasts a accurate measurements of 17 body composition metrics. It's been around for 20+ years and is used by modern hospitals and clinics. For a detailed overview of how it works, I would go to their page and watch the video. Very impressive!
Whether they are already biohacking or just beginning the journey to a healthier life, these biohacker gifts can really make a difference in someone's life. It's not just about giving gifts; it's about investing in the health and longevity of the people you love.
Happy Shopping!
To your success and outrageous goals,
