  • Chris KresserFounder of Kresser Institute, co-director and president of the California Center for Functional Medicine
    There's a lot of hype about biohacking, including a lot of crazy and even dangerous practices. Biohacker's Handbook is different. It's an encyclopedia of practical, evidence-based strategies you can use to improve your health, optimize your performance, and extend your lifespan. It has earned a place on my bookshelf and I recommend it to my patients.

The authors

Who wrote it

The Handbook is the work of three specialists who each cover a different half of the problem: the clinic, the technology and the food.

  • Dr. Olli Sovijärvi, M.D.

    Dr. Olli Sovijärvi, M.D.

    Medical doctor

    A physician who moved from conventional practice into preventive and holistic medicine, and who has spent his career translating clinical research into things a person can actually do. He handles the physiology throughout the book: what the mechanism is, what the evidence says, and where the honest limits of it are.

  • Teemu Arina

    Teemu Arina

    Technology expert

    A technologist, entrepreneur and speaker who has spent two decades on the boundary between people and machines. He covers the measurement side: the tools, the data, the self-tracking, and the judgement about which numbers are worth acting on and which are noise.

  • Jaakko Halmetoja

    Jaakko Halmetoja

    Nutrition and wellness expert

    A nutrition and wellness expert, professional speaker and author with a long-standing focus on superfoods, herbs and the practical side of eating well. He covers nutrition in the book: what to eat, why, and how to make it work in an ordinary week.

Frequently asked

Questions people ask before buying

Hardcover or e-book?

The hardcover is a 2.5 kg coffee-table book built to sit open on a desk or a kitchen counter, and it is the one most people keep. The e-book is the same text in PDF, ePub and mobi, downloads immediately, and travels. If you want to read it cover to cover on a screen, take the e-book. If you want to keep returning to it, take the hardcover.

Is this written by AI?

No. The Handbook was written by three named authors, illustrated by a named designer, and every claim in it is backed by an academic reference. There are 1560 of them. The books popularize scientific insights and discoveries, they do not generate them.

How current is the research?

The book is built on 1560 scientific references and is written to be durable rather than newsworthy: it favours mechanisms and well-replicated findings over single studies. Where the evidence is genuinely unsettled, it says so.

Do I need a background in medicine or biology?

No. It is written for anyone with a genuine interest in how their own body works. The visual format exists precisely so that a reader can follow the reasoning without a specialist vocabulary.

What if I am not happy with it?

100% satisfaction guarantee. If you are not happy with your purchase within 30 days you get your money back, excluding shipping costs, as long as the product is in original condition.
