🤿 The Deep Dive

Your biology is the only constant. Let’s treat it like it matters.

I’ve always chased hacks. Back in the day, I lived and breathed The 4-Hour Workweek—remote assistants, browser blockers, and time-zone jiu-jitsu to build a freedom-first life.

Tim Ferriss, that O.N. (Original Nomad).

Biohacking felt like the next logical level: optimizing not just how I work, but how I live, sleep, and recover.

Because when you’re a nomad, everything around you changes constantly—your bed, your time zone, your altitude, your coffee. The only consistent variable in that chaos?

You. Your biology. Your energy. Your brain.

That’s why biohacking isn’t a Silicon Valley party trick—it’s survival.

It’s how you stay sharp in Bangkok, sleep through sirens in Mexico City, and show up like a pro even when you woke up three flights and two currencies ago.

A tip is your mom reminding you to sit up straight.

A hack is your weird uncle Rick plugging electrodes into his head while he fasts for 72 hours and stares into the sun.

But not all hacks are extremes.

At its best, biohacking is about small, intentional upgrades—things that improve your mind, energy, and mood in a way that fits your life… not just some influencer’s reel.

Some of it is grounded. Some of it is goofy. All of it makes you think.

And in a world engineered to dull your senses, that’s a win.

To keep things honest, I’ve developed the Woo-Woo Scale™—my completely unscientific meter for measuring scientificness.

🧪 THE LIST

1. Cold Showers / Ice Baths ★☆☆☆☆

Free, brutal, and effective. Shocks your system awake, boosts dopamine, reduces inflammation, and makes you feel like you could run through drywall.

ATN Tip: 30 seconds after waking. Try not to scream.

2. Intermittent Fasting ★★☆☆☆

Skip breakfast, sharpen your mind, burn some fat. Works great—until your Colombian arepas start mocking you.

Why two stars? Some recent science says results may be overhyped. Still works. Still worth trying.

3. Infrared Light Therapy. ★★★☆☆

Feels like sunshine for your cells. Can improve mood, skin, and sleep cycles. ATN recommends Joovv, Bon Charge, and, why not, to the tunes of Jon Bon Jovi.

Why three stars? Feels great. Looks sci-fi. Might actually work.

4. Blue Light Blockers.   ★★☆☆☆

Those amber-tinted glasses aren’t just for TikTok gurus. They help regulate melatonin and protect your circadian rhythm when you’re screen-zombied at night.

Tip: Put ‘em on at sunset. Bonus: you look mysterious.

5. Morning Sunlight ★☆☆☆☆

The cheapest, most powerful circadian anchor you’ve got. Walk outside within 30 minutes of waking. Don’t wear sunglasses. Make your indoor plants jealous.

Yes, really.

6. Nasal Breathing ★☆☆☆☆

Just breath through your mouth. That’s it. More oxygen, less anxiety, better sleep, and actual athletic gains? All from closing your mouth.

Turns out there is science behind that whole “mouth-breather” insult.

7. Magnesium Supplementation. ★☆☆☆☆

The mineral we’re all low on. Supports deep sleep, muscle recovery, and keeps travel constipation from ruining your trip.

Go with glycinate for sleep, citrate for digestion.

8. Zone 2 Cardio. ★☆☆☆☆

Walk. Breathe easy. Burn fat. Build mitochondria.

This is your excuse to wander cities like it’s part of a health plan.

Why one star? Cause I’ve lost 60 pounds, so I back this with my own personal science.

9. HRV Tracking (Oura, WHOOP). ★☆☆☆☆ 

Use Oura, WHOOP, or Apple Watch to track recovery.

Data = clarity. Especially when you’re bouncing time zones.

10. Grounding (a.k.a. Walking Barefoot Outside). ★★★★☆

Touch grass, beach, dirt, or stone with bare feet. Supposedly resets your body’s electrical charge and calms your nervous system.

“Is it placebo? Maybe. Is it free and kinda amazing? Also yes.”

Nomad Bonus: Perfect post-flight ritual. Just avoid dog parks.

☕️ The Squeeze

Biohacker Brew ☕️

Because you can’t optimize your mitochondria on Nescafé.

After reading Biohacking for Life and testing every morning routine short of bloodletting, I built something simple that actually works.

Biohacker Brew is my go-to: strong Colombian coffee blended with a few clean, powerful ingredients that sharpen focus and support brain health.

MCT oil gives you fast fuel without the crash. Lion’s mane supports mental clarity and long-term cognitive function. Himalayan salt replaces minerals most people lose overnight.

Optional dash of cinnamon if you want warmth and blood sugar support. Otherwise, keep it tight.

Biohacker Brew

• 1 cup Colombian coffee – because only Colombian coffee at ATN, obviously

• 1 tsp MCT oil – clean, fast brain fuel

• 1 scoop lion’s mane powder – focus and neuroprotection

• Pinch of Himalayan salt – minerals + adrenal support

• Optional: 1/2 tsp Ceylon cinnamon – balances blood sugar + adds warmth

Drink fasted before deep work.

This isn’t breakfast—it’s a system.

🤓 The Read

Book Review: Biohacking for Life by Tony Wrighton

When I was picking a biohacking book, I judged them by their covers.

Then I saw Biohacking for Life, noticed Tony Wrighton is 50, and thought—okay, this guy’s hacked something. At least Photoshop.

Sold.

The book dropped last month and it’s exactly what you want from a wellness-obsessed British broadcaster who’s been cold plunging, supplement stacking, and red-light blasting himself for years.

It’s part field guide, part self-experiment log, part very polite manifesto. It’s also—let’s be honest—a full-on listicle. But in this genre, that’s a feature, not a flaw.

You’ll find checklists, routines, product recs, and enough acronyms to start your own supplement empire.

And while some books in this space feel like ego trips disguised as science, Wrighton’s tone is humble, helpful, and weirdly charming.

He’s the guy you’d trust to install your infrared sauna and offer you a weird tea that actually works.

He also doesn’t shy from a little side-eye—calling out our friend Peter Attia for hoarding longevity insights like they’re classified.

No beef, just a nudge. And he gives credit where it’s due, pointing to other big voices in the space:

• Tim Asprey – The Bulletproof Diet

• David Sinclair – Lifespan

• Ben Greenfield – Boundless

• Andrew Huberman – Huberman Lab (podcast)

• Max Lugavere – Genius Foods

• Dr. Rhonda Patrick – FoundMyFitness (platform/podcast)

• Dr. Paul Saladino – The Carnivore Code (though fruit has since earned a co-starring role)

If you want something newer than this book, you’ll have to hike into the jungle and knock on Saladino’s door in Costa Rica.

Otherwise, Biohacking for Life is a sharp, useful guide for anyone trying to live better, longer, or just less foggy before noon.
