The Biohacking Index has released its January 2026 Report, marking the platform's first physician-curated, invite-only edition. This approach reinforces the principle that credibility, rather than sponsorship or popularity, should determine visibility within the wellness and biohacking ecosystem. The report evaluates companies based on criteria including transparency, documentation, and real-world clinical relevance, with verification being an optional process reserved for Premium Members.
A significant development in the January 2026 edition is the introduction of an invite-only membership model for clinicians and expert providers. Physicians are selected based on their clinical experience, patient outcomes, professional reputation, and alignment with evidence-based, forward-thinking care. These invited experts gain the ability to nominate wellness technologies, diagnostics, or nutraceuticals they actively use or recommend, including their own solutions, provided those products complete the full Biohacking Index verification process. Expert members receive benefits such as enhanced professional profiles, SEO and large language model training advantages, and lead generation capabilities within the platform. It is emphasized that nomination does not guarantee inclusion, and while verification remains optional, credibility is upheld as the standard.
The January 2026 Report features several companies that completed verification and earned placement. Da Vinci Medical, a manufacturer of advanced recovery and wellness technologies used in clinical and performance settings, including the SUPERHUMAN Protocol, is listed. Lumati, a light-based wellness technology company focused on cellular signaling and recovery, and Truista Coffee, a functional coffee company emphasizing contaminant transparency, sourcing, and guaranteed third-party lab testing on every package, are also included. Each company met the Biohacking Index standards for transparency, documentation, and practitioner relevance.
Physician curation plays a central role in this report. Dr. Lipman, founder of Physical Evidence Chiropractic in Boca Raton, Florida, known for integrating advanced diagnostics, regenerative therapies, and recovery technologies into patient care, contributed nominations. With over 100 five-star patient reviews and recognition as a Top 10 Provider in the 2025 Biohacking Index Report, his nominations reflect tools used in active clinical practice rather than theoretical or consumer-driven trends. The report notes that several additional companies were nominated during the curation process but chose not to pursue verification at this time; these nominations remain visible to reflect practitioner awareness while maintaining transparency regarding verification status.
This report signals a broader shift in the wellness and longevity industry toward expert-led evaluation, voluntary verification, and a clear separation between recommendation and endorsement. The distinction is made that being recommended is not equivalent to being verified, and verification remains an accessible option rather than a requirement.
