The definitive evidence-based guide to developer health biohacking: ergonomics, sleep, nutrition, exercise, cognitive performance, peptide research, and longevity protocols for software engineers in 2026.
What the research actually shows about walking pads for developers: NEAT, glucose control, mood, and whether typing accuracy suffers at walking speed.
60-80% of software engineers report back pain. Here's the McGill Big 3, hip flexor mobility work, and a practical 10-minute morning protocol grounded in pain neuroscience.
An honest, research-backed look at what standing desks actually do and don't do for developer health — including optimal sit-stand protocols, anti-fatigue mat selection, and a practical daily schedule.
A systems-level ergonomics guide for software developers — monitor height, chair adjustment, keyboard positioning, standing desk protocols, and the actual biomechanical evidence behind each recommendation.
Numbness, tingling, wrist pain — but which condition do you actually have? A practical breakdown of carpal tunnel syndrome vs the RSI spectrum for developers, with evidence-based treatment and prevention.
Repetitive strain injury is the occupational hazard nobody talks about until it ends careers. Here is an evidence-based framework for preventing, monitoring, and recovering from RSI as a software developer.
Evidence-based guide to Computer Vision Syndrome for developers. Covers blink rate research, blue-light glasses evidence, the 20-20-20 rule, monitor setup, dry eye treatment, and lutein/zeaxanthin nutrition.
Monitor height, chair position, keyboard tilt, lighting — the full ergonomic setup for software engineers. Evidence from NIOSH, OSHA, and musculoskeletal research translated into practical configuration guidelines.
Forward head posture, thoracic kyphosis, and rounded shoulders are endemic in software engineers. Here's the evidence on what causes them, which exercises reverse them, and a practical daily protocol grounded in biomechanics research.
Noise-induced hearing loss is permanent and increasingly common among developers who use headphones for focus. Here's what the evidence says about safe listening limits, noise-cancelling vs passive isolation, and office acoustic strategies.
