Looking for the best biohacking devices? Discover top tools like DEXA scans, Oura Ring, Lumen, WHOOP, and CGMs to track fat loss, muscle gain, sleep, and metabolic health in San Francisco.
Biohacking is all about optimizing your body and mind through scientific tracking and personalized adjustments. Whether you're focused on fat loss, muscle growth, metabolic health, sleep quality, or longevity, using the right devices can provide real-time data to help you fine-tune your approach.
Here’s a breakdown of the best biohacking devices to measure and optimize body composition, metabolism, sleep, recovery, and overall performance.
🏆 Best for: Measuring fat loss, muscle gain, visceral fat, and bone density.
A DEXA (Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry) scan is the gold standard for accurately tracking body composition. Unlike BMI or smart scales, DEXA scans measure total fat, lean muscle mass, visceral fat, and bone mineral density (BMD)—giving biohackers a precise look at long-term health trends.
📌 Why Biohackers Love It:
✔️ Tracks fat loss vs. muscle loss (crucial for weight loss & fitness).
✔️ Measures visceral fat (linked to heart disease & longevity).
✔️ Assesses bone density (key for aging & preventing osteoporosis).
✔️ 100% accurate compared to home scales & bioelectrical impedance devices.
👉 Best for: Anyone focused on fat loss, muscle building, longevity, or metabolic health.
🚀 Where to Get One: DEXA scans are available at medical clinics and specialized health centers like KALOS in San Francisco.
🏆 Best for: Tracking sleep quality, HRV, body temperature, and recovery.
The Oura Ring is one of the most advanced wearable biohacking devices for sleep optimization and recovery tracking. It uses advanced sensors to measure heart rate variability (HRV), body temperature, and sleep cycles, helping you optimize performance and longevity.
📌 Why Biohackers Love It:
✔️ Tracks deep sleep, REM cycles, and total sleep duration.
✔️ Monitors heart rate variability (HRV) for stress & recovery.
✔️ Measures resting heart rate and body temperature for illness detection.
✔️ Integrates with other health apps like Apple Health & WHOOP.
👉 Best for: Optimizing sleep, stress management, and longevity tracking.
🚀 Where to Get One: Available on Oura’s official website and major retailers like Amazon & Best Buy.
🏆 Best for: Measuring fat vs. carb burning for optimized metabolism.
The Lumen device is a portable metabolic tracker that measures your body’s fuel source in real time (fat vs. carbs) by analyzing CO₂ levels in your breath. It provides personalized nutrition recommendations based on whether you’re in fat-burning or carb-burning mode.
📌 Why Biohackers Love It:
✔️ Tracks metabolic flexibility (how well your body switches between fat & carb burning).
✔️ Personalized diet recommendations to optimize fat loss & energy levels.
✔️ Daily metabolic insights to fine-tune fasting, keto, or carb cycling.
✔️ Syncs with Apple Health, Strava & other apps.
👉 Best for: Biohackers focused on fat loss, ketogenic diets, and optimizing metabolic health.
🚀 Where to Get One: Available on Lumen’s official website and Amazon.
🏆 Best for: Tracking HRV, recovery, strain, and workout performance.
The WHOOP Strap 4.0 is a wearable fitness and recovery tracker that provides detailed insights into strain, sleep, and heart rate variability (HRV). It’s widely used by athletes and high-performance biohackers to optimize recovery and prevent overtraining.
📌 Why Biohackers Love It:
✔️ Monitors heart rate variability (HRV) for stress & performance tracking.
✔️ Provides daily recovery scores based on sleep & exertion.
✔️ Tracks workouts without needing manual input.
✔️ No screen—focuses purely on data & insights.
👉 Best for: Athletes, longevity biohackers, and fitness enthusiasts optimizing training recovery.
🚀 Where to Get One: Available through WHOOP’s subscription-based program on their website.
🏆 Best for: Optimizing blood sugar, fasting, and metabolic flexibility.
A Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM) is a small device that tracks real-time blood sugar levels, helping you optimize diet, insulin sensitivity, and fasting strategies.
📌 Why Biohackers Love It:
✔️ Real-time glucose tracking to see how food impacts metabolism.
✔️ Helps optimize fasting & ketogenic diets.
✔️ Reduces insulin resistance & improves fat burning.
✔️ Detects blood sugar spikes from stress, poor sleep, or processed foods.
👉 Best for: Those following intermittent fasting, keto, or looking to prevent metabolic diseases.
🚀 Where to Get One: Available via Levels, NutriSense, or medical providers.
✔️ For precise body composition & fat loss tracking → DEXA Scan
✔️ For sleep & recovery optimization → Oura Ring
✔️ For real-time metabolic tracking → Lumen or CGM
✔️ For fitness & HRV monitoring → WHOOP Strap
