What Biohacking Gets Wrong About Wellness: Why You Can't Optimise Your Way to Okay

In this episode of Words & Contemplations, Fai shares a reading of “What Biohacking Gets Wrong About Wellness: Why You Can’t Optimise Your Way to Okay.” A thoughtful reflection on the growing obsession with optimisation, tracking and becoming a better version of ourselves, this episode asks whether wellness has become another thing we feel we need to get right. From sleep scores and supplements to routines, movement and nervous system practices, there is value in caring for ourselve, but there is also a point where trying to optimise everything can take us further away from simply being human. This is a gentle reminder that wellbeing isn't a performance, and you don't need to perfect yourself to feel okay. Sometimes the most valuable thing you can do is stop measuring, stop fixing and listen to what you actually need.
