Peak Human Ops — Run Your Body Like an Operator

Biohacking for operators: sleep, biomarkers, supplements, and recovery tech run as one measured system, not a 40-item protocol. Evidence-graded, no fluff.

Your body is a system you run, not a problem you manage

Most biohacking content ranks by feature count: more sensors, more supplements, more app screens. None of it tells you whether the number on the screen is real. Peak Human Ops runs the same discipline you already apply to a business — baseline, one change at a time, measure, keep or drop — and applies it to sleep, biomarkers, supplements, and recovery tech.

What you'll find here

  • Sleep — the system everything else posts to. Optimization frameworks, evidence-graded natural aids, and honest device reviews.
  • Biomarkers — annual blood panels, at-home hormone kits, and biological-age tests, evaluated for what they actually predict.
  • Supplements — evidence-graded, not hype-graded. Creatine, magnesium, nootropics, and B12 covered by what the data supports, not what sells.
  • Wearables & recovery tech — Oura vs. Whoop, sleep trackers ranked by validated accuracy, HRV as an operational signal, and cold plunge benefits without the overstatement.
