Biohacking Stress

Meaning

Biohacking Stress refers to the deliberate, data-informed application of lifestyle and technological interventions designed to measure, mitigate, and enhance the body’s physiological response to stressors. This practice acknowledges that chronic, unmanaged stress profoundly disrupts the neuroendocrine system, specifically the HPA axis. The goal is not to eliminate stress entirely but to improve stress resilience and accelerate parasympathetic nervous system recovery. Individuals track objective biomarkers, like heart rate variability (HRV) and salivary cortisol, to gauge their autonomic nervous system status and the effectiveness of their chosen interventions.
