35 of the most powerful Tony Robbins Biohacks

Thinking about dipping your toes into biohacking? If you first heard about the term from Tony Robbins, I’m not surprised – he’s obsessed with it. 

In fact, he’s mentioned the term biohacking at least a thousand different times in a thousand more different ways.

Some of it can get a little confusing, especially when people speak about the same biohack but call it different than the next person you listen to.

Doing your own research is even more annoying, because biohacking can be expensive man…really expensive.

So I gathered all the information about the most popular Tony Robbins Biohacks, did the scientific research for you, so if you plan on spending money on this stuff you’ll know its not just useless magic tricks or snake oil that you’re buying.

Let’s begin…

1. Cold Exposure

Cold exposure is a biohack technique where the body is exposed to cold temperatures, often through techniques such as cold showers or ice baths. 

According to Tony Robbins, cold exposure has several benefits for overall well-being. 

A study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation found that cold exposure activated brown adipose tissue, leading to an increase in energy expenditure and potential benefits for metabolic health. 

Cold exposure can boost energy, improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and enhance resilience.

Tony Robbins suggests starting gradually with cold exposure by:

• ending a shower with cold water 
• or dipping your feet in cold water. 

Then he wants you to gradually increase the intensity of the cold exposure for better results. Robbins is a strong proponent of cold exposure for its effectiveness as a biohack technique.

“A cold shower in the morning can change the trajectory of your day,” Robbins says.

2. Breathwork

Breathwork involves using specific breathing techniques as a biohack to regulate the nervous system, reduce stress, increase energy, and improve mental focus. Tony Robbins stresses the importance of deep breathing and recommends techniques such as “box breathing” or “fire breath” to achieve maximum oxygenation.

• “Breathing is the FIRST place, not the LAST place, one should investigate when any disordered energy presents itself.” – Sheldon Deal, breathwork coach

Studies indicate that deep breathing can have a positive impact on overall health, with benefits including increased oxygen flow, reduced stress levels, and improved immune function. Robbins often emphasizes the power of breathwork in increasing mental clarity and energy.

“By changing the breath, you can change your state of mind and your emotional state,” Robbins says.

3. High-Intensity Exercise

High-intensity exercise is a biohack technique that involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief rest periods. 

Tony Robbins says that high-intensity exercise can help increase overall fitness, boost metabolism, and enhance mental clarity.

Studies show that high-intensity exercise can be more effective for fat loss than traditional steady-state cardio. It can also lead to an increased production of endorphins, which can help to reduce stress and increase energy levels. Robbins is a advocate of high-intensity exercise as a biohack technique.

“The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today,” Robbins says.

In this biohacking study on (HIIT) High-intensity interval training was found to  improve physical performance and frailty in aged mice. Clearly, you’re not a mouse, but science uses mice to discover how an experiment will affect a human being, being that mice are similar to humans in a few ways.

“High-intensity interval training (HIIT) is a potent medicine for almost everything that ails you.” – Dr. Jordan Metzl, sports medicine physician

Another study on High Intensity Interval training showed that

A study published in the International Journal of Cardiology found that high intensity interval training (HIIT) can improve cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of heart disease. 

How to start (biohacking) with high intensity interval training:

1. Consult with a healthcare professional before beginning any exercise program, especially if you have any underlying health conditions.
2. Choose an exercise that you enjoy and can perform safely, such as cycling, running, or jumping jacks.
3. Begin with a warm-up period of five to ten minutes of low-intensity exercise.
4. Perform the high-intensity intervals by going all out for a set amount of time, such as 20 seconds, followed by a rest period of equal or longer duration.
5. Repeat the high-intensity intervals and rest periods for several cycles, usually 4 to 6.
6. End the session with a cool-down period of low-intensity exercise for five to ten minutes.
7. Gradually increase the intensity and duration of the intervals as you become more comfortable with the exercise.
8. Vary the exercises to prevent boredom and challenge your body.
9. Allow for adequate recovery time between sessions to prevent injury and burnout.
10. Stay motivated by tracking your progress and celebrating your achievements.

What are the benefits of biohacking with HIIT?

1. HIIT can improve cardiovascular health by increasing heart function, decreasing blood pressure, and reducing the risk of heart disease.
2. HIIT can help with weight loss and body composition by burning more calories in less time than steady-state exercise.
3. HIIT can improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes.
4. HIIT can improve respiratory function and lung capacity, enhancing overall endurance.
5. HIIT can improve cognitive function, memory, and attention, boosting brain health and reducing the risk of age-related cognitive decline.
6. HIIT can improve mental health by reducing symptoms of anxiety and depression, boosting self-esteem, and promoting feelings of well-being.
7. HIIT can increase muscle strength, endurance, and power, improving overall physical performance.
8. HIIT can reduce inflammation in the body, promoting overall health and reducing the risk of chronic diseases.
9. HIIT can improve sleep quality, reducing the risk of sleep disorders and promoting overall health.
10. HIIT can increase metabolic rate, allowing the body to burn more calories at rest and promoting overall weight management.

4. Intermittent Fasting

Intermittent fasting is a biohack technique that involves abstaining from food for a specific period, often 12-24 hours or longer. 

Tony Robbins advocates for intermittent fasting, citing benefits such as weight loss, cellular regeneration, and overall health.

Studies indicate that intermittent fasting can help improve insulin sensitivity, reduce inflammation, and improve brain function, as well as a few other things. 

Robbins recommends starting slowly and consulting with a healthcare professional before beginning any fasting regimen. He also stresses the importance of listening to your body’s hunger cues and not pushing yourself too far.

This biohack involves alternating between periods of high-intensity exercise and rest, which can improve cardiovascular health, increase energy, and promote fat loss. Tony Robbins has spoken about the benefits of HIIT for improving overall fitness and health.

“Intermittent fasting isn’t a fad, it’s a practice that has been around for millennia.” – Dr. Jason Fung, nephrologist

5. Supplementation

Supplementation is a biohack technique that involves taking supplements to support overall health and well-being. Tony Robbins emphasizes the importance of finding high-quality supplements and recommends specific supplements for gut health, energy, and brain function.

Studies show that certain supplements can improve our health, such as probiotics for gut health and omega-3s for brain function. 

“Supplementation is not intended to replace healthy eating but rather to enhance and complement it.” – Dr. Deanna Minich, functional medicine nutritionist

Robbins also stresses the importance of a balanced diet and lifestyle, stating that supplements are meant to supplement, not replace, a healthy lifestyle.

“Success is doing what you want to do, when you want, where you want, with whom you want, as much as you want” – Tony Robbins 

By incorporating supplements as a biohack into your daily routine, you can take control of your physical, mental, and emotional health and experience a greater sense of well-being.

“It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives. It’s what we do consistently.” – Tony Robbins 

So, start small, be consistent, and over time, you’ll see the benefits of these biohacks in your own life.

6. Gratitude practice 

Gratitude Practice is a powerful technique that involves intentionally focusing on things to be grateful for. By practicing gratitude, we reduce stress, increase positive emotions, and improve overall well-being. 

Tony Robbins says that a daily gratitude practice as part of a morning ritual can be exponentially transformative. 

He says, “Gratitude is the antidote to the things that mess us up. You can’t be angry and grateful simultaneously.” 

Scientific research on gratitude practice supports the benefits he describes. A study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that practicing gratitude can lead to increased happiness and well-being.

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough.” – Melody Beattie, author

7. Meditation 

This biohack involves practicing mindfulness and focusing the mind on the present moment. Tony Robbins has spoken about the benefits of meditation for reducing stress, improving mental focus, and increasing emotional resilience. 

He often recommends starting with short meditation sessions and gradually building up to longer sessions.

In general I think Tony would rather people who struggle with meditation to instead have something to meditate upon, rather than go through the endless cycle of: sit to meditate, “this isnt working!”, chastise yourself for having thoughts etc…

How the process of focusing your mind is done depends on your background. I’ve been doing this since 2010, but if you’re just beginning to use meditation as a biohack, it might be better for you to focus on emotions you want to have throughout the day, or on your dreams and goals.

Even regular breathing exercises, which we focused on in an earlier section, work amazingly well. 

“Meditation is one of the most powerful tools we have to connect with ourselves and change our lives,” says Robbins. 

Scientific studies also support the benefits of meditation. A study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that meditation can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Studies show that meditation can:

• reducing stress, 
• improving emotional regulation, 
• and increasing resilience
• Improve mental health
• Improve immune function

“Meditation is not about stopping thoughts, but recognizing that we are more than our thoughts.” – Sharon Salzberg, meditation teacher

Martin Meadows classifies meditation as a keystone habit, a habit that increases willpower and the ability to be our best self each day.

Tony Robbins has spoken about the benefits of a spiritual practice for reducing stress, increasing happiness, and promoting overall well-being.

According to a study published in the Journal of Religion and Health, engaging in spiritual practices can lead to improved mental health and well-being.

Spiritual practice as a biohack, means stuff like meditation, law of attraction, manifesting, breathing exercises, ahimsa etc…

Those are the types of practices that could be considered “hacks” because they make you feel better, and optimize your biology to a certain extent. 

For example: breathing exercises have been proven to regulate your blood, reoxygenate your brain and many other things that make us feel good during the days when we’re stressed out.

Having been a serious practitioner since 2010, I can tell you that the level and severity of spiritual practice will give you different results.

My path led me to living in a monastery, in different parts of the United States, as well in the Central American jungle. That level of austerity is not for everyone.

Spiritual practice in general has an upward trend when it comes to overall satisfaction with life, but serious, intense practice doesn’t come without several stages of purification. 

The contamination that sleeps in the human heart and psyche is removed during your time as a spiritual practitioner and its uprooting and removal has a tendency to be very uncomfortable and even violent.

That being said, if you’re up for that level of dedication, you can look into it on your own.
