Biohacking is no longer just a buzzword—it’s a movement redefining how we understand performance, longevity, and health at the cellular level. At iüLabs, we’re at the forefront of this transformation, proudly partnering with Biowell Health, a next-gen wellness destination pioneering the science of human optimisation (learn more here). Together, we combine cutting-edge therapies and precision nutrition to empower people to take control of their biology—from brain to mitochondria.
Our flagship product, iüVitalizer, is purpose-built for the biohacker’s toolkit: designed to fuel energy metabolism, sharpen cognitive clarity, and strengthen immune resilience. Now fully integrated into Biowell’s curated ecosystem, iüVitalizer complements powerful biophysical therapies—such as cryotherapy, red light, and intermittent hypoxic-hyperoxic training—delivering synergistic effects that upgrade the body from the inside out.
Located at the iconic Battersea Power Station, Biowell Health is a living laboratory of innovation—home to some of the most advanced, clinically backed biohacking tools available today. Whether you’re a high-performance athlete, a longevity enthusiast, or simply curious about optimising your biology, this is where science meets self-enhancement.

What is Biohacking?
Biohacking is the art and science of optimising your body and mind using a combination of biology, technology, and self-experimentation. At its core, biohacking is about taking control of your internal systems—your metabolism, brain function, hormones, and cellular energy—through targeted interventions that enhance performance, longevity, and well-being.
These interventions can range from simple lifestyle tweaks like intermittent fasting or cold exposure to advanced therapies such as hyperbaric oxygen, red light therapy, or mitochondrial training. Rooted in data, biohacking often involves tracking biomarkers and using feedback loops to personalise protocols.
It’s a proactive approach to health that shifts the mindset from disease treatment to performance optimisation—empowering individuals to become the CEO of their own biology.
Biohacking at Biowell Health: Therapies That Work From the Inside Out
Biowell Health’s approach is rooted in bio-stacking—strategically combining cutting-edge therapies to amplify results. Each method works independently but can deliver significantly greater benefits when used in synergy.
Here’s a closer look at the therapies offered, what they do, and the science behind them:
1. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
What it does:
HBOT involves breathing 100% oxygen inside a chamber pressurised above 1 atmosphere. This process dramatically increases oxygen saturation in blood plasma, delivering elevated levels directly to tissues.
Science behind it:
Clinical and preclinical studies demonstrate HBOT enhances tissue oxygenation, stimulates angiogenesis via VEGF and HIF‑1α pathways, fosters collagen synthesis, reduces inflammation, and improves mitochondrial respiratory function. In chronic wounds and diabetic foot ulcers, HBOT has been shown to reduce wound size and amputation risk.
At a cellular level, it mobilises stem cells, increases ROS signalling that triggers repair mechanisms, and supports neurogenesis in stroke models. For athletes, HBOT can accelerate recovery and reduce inflammation, and emerging research highlights its potential for anti‑ageing applications via mitochondrial revitalisation.
2. Cryotherapy
What it does:
Cryotherapy exposes users to ultra‑low temperatures (typically −110 °C) for 2–3 minutes. This extreme cold triggers whole‑body neuro‑endocrine and vascular responses.
Science behind it:
Cold exposure stimulates norepinephrine release and endorphin surge, which aid pain relief, improve mood, and modulate the immune system. Studies show activation and recruitment of brown adipose tissue (BAT) through thermogenic stimuli—enhancing non‑shivering thermogenesis and metabolic rate. Evidence also suggests benefits in reducing inflammation, flushing metabolic waste, improving recovery time, and facilitating collagen production for tissue repair.
While further research is underway, many elite athletes find routine cryotherapy sessions improve performance, sleep quality, and energy.
3. IHHT (Intermittent Hypoxic‑Hyperoxic Training)
What it does:
IHHT alternates breathing low‑oxygen (hypoxic) and high‑oxygen (hyperoxic) air in controlled cycles, simulating altitude training to stimulate mitochondrial adaptation.
Science behind it:
IHHT induces intermittent oxidative stress—a phenomenon enhancing mitochondrial biogenesis, antioxidant defences, and respiratory efficiency.
This adaptive response supports improved aerobic capacity, cardiovascular resilience, and metabolic function. Early clinical trials show benefits in chronic fatigue, burnout reduction, and metabolic syndromes. Combined with nutritional strategies like iüVitalizer, IHHT can synergistically enhance energy metabolism and cellular resilience.
4. Red Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation)
What it does:
Uses red and near‑infrared wavelengths to penetrate deep into tissues, stimulating cellular activity without heat or damage.
Science behind it:
Red light activates cytochrome c oxidase in mitochondria, increasing ATP production and promoting cellular repair. Research shows this modality reduces inflammation, accelerates wound healing, improves skin rejuvenation, and alleviates joint pain. Photobiomodulation also supports neuroprotection, potentially improving cognitive clarity and brain health.
5. Compression Therapy
What it does:
Employs pulsed pneumatic compression to enhance venous and lymphatic return, reducing swelling and improving circulation.
Science behind it:
Compression therapy supports metabolite clearance (e.g., lactic acid), reduces delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS), and decreases fatigue post‑exercise. It’s clinically validated to improve venous flow, reduce edema, and support recovery in both active athletes and sedentary individuals. Evidence highlights both acute and cumulative benefits when used post‑workout or overnight rest.
6. EMS (Electro‑Muscle Stimulation) Therapy
What it does:
Delivers low‑frequency electrical pulses to induce muscle contractions, effectively strengthening both superficial and deep musculature.
Science behind it:
EMS increases muscle fibre recruitment and neuromuscular efficiency without joint stress, aiding strength, tone, and rehabilitation. Clinical trials support its use in post‑injury recovery, muscle atrophy prevention, and performance enhancements. Studies show EMS promotes strength gains comparable to conventional exercise, especially when conventional training is limited by time or injury.
7. IV & Vitamin Therapy
What it does:
Infuses essential nutrients directly into the bloodstream, bypassing the digestive system for rapid absorption and effect.
Science behind it:
IV therapy achieves near‑complete bioavailability of complex nutrient blends—vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium, and minerals—supporting immune defence, detoxification, energy levels, and stress resilience. This method can rapidly replenish deficiencies often linked to fatigue, stress, travel fatigue, or illness. Data shows improvements in antioxidant capacity, mood, athletic recovery, and inflammatory profiles when nutrient needs are addressed effectively.
A Scientific Perspective: Dr. Wolfgang, iüLabs Co-Founder & CMO
“Biowell features a suite of biophysical applications like hyperbaric oxygen, photobiomodulation, and cold chamber. There exists solid scientific evidence for the efficacy of these methods—primarily with respect to physical performance and injury recovery. In addition, there is a good scientific rationale that the biologic stimulation brought about by these applications can have anti-ageing effects. All three methods work both individually and synergistically when used in certain combinations.
Management and staff at Biowell were very friendly, professional and passionate about health, performance, sports and general well-being.”
