Biohacking Supplements & Tools

“Healing your brain is part of healing your story.”

Your body has been through a lot—addiction, trauma, stress, or emotional burnout. And while talk therapy and community are essential, sometimes healing also needs to happen at the cellular level. That’s where biohacking comes in.

At TruPaths, we’re not here to sell quick fixes. We’re here to help you feel whole again. That means educating families and individuals about the cutting-edge tools and supplements that can support recovery, reset the nervous system, and rebuild your energy, mood, and focus—gently, safely, and with love.

What Is Biohacking?

Biohacking is the science of optimizing your biology using nutrition, sleep, movement, technology, and supplements to help your body and mind function better. In recovery, this often means:

Restore Depleted Neurotransmitters

Rebuild the brain’s chemical balance to improve mood, motivation, and clarity.

Rebalance the Nervous System

Use data driven tools to shift from stress mode into rest and repair.

Repair Sleep, Energy, and Focus

Support cognitive and physical performance through science-backed strategies.

Reduce Inflammation and Brain Fog

Calm the body and mind by targeting underlying stressors and oxidative damage.

You don’t need to be an expert. You just need the right guidance.

Supplements That Can Support Recovery

Always speak to a licensed provider before starting any supplement. That said, many recovery-friendly programs and wellness centers we feature recommend:

Brain & Mood Support

Omega-3s (EPA/DHA)

Fuel for emotional stability and cognitive clarity

Omega-3s support brain health, reduce inflammation, and play a key role in emotional balance, especially helpful during recovery from substance use or chronic stress.

B Vitamins (B1, B6, B12)

Fuel for emotional stability and cognitive clarity

These vitamins aid in restoring energy, healing the nervous system, and improving stress resilience, which are often compromised in early recovery.

L-Tyrosine / L-Tryptophan

Fuel for emotional stability and cognitive clarity

These amino acids are natural precursors to mood-regulating neurotransmitters. They help rebuild motivation, focus, and emotional regulation.

Sleep & Nervous System

GABA / Theanine

Fuel for emotional stability and cognitive clarity

These amino acids help soothe racing thoughts & nervous tension while supporting relaxation without drowsiness, ideal for anxiety-prone individuals in early recovery.

Melatonin

Fuel for emotional stability and cognitive clarity

Melatonin supports circadian rhythm regulation and is often recommended for those with disrupted sleep cycles due to substance use or emotional dysregulation.

5-HTP

Fuel for emotional stability and cognitive clarity

A gentle serotonin precursor, 5-HTP is used to enhance mood, particularly helpful in early sobriety when serotonin levels may be depleted.

Detox & Rebuilding

NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine)

Fuel for emotional stability and cognitive clarity

This antioxidant supports glutathione production, aids in liver detoxification, and may reduce cravings for substances like alcohol or nicotine.

Probiotics & Prebiotics

Fuel for emotional stability and cognitive clarity

By balancing gut flora, these supplements improve digestion, support mental clarity, and boost the immune system, critical during physical rebuilding in recovery.

L-Glutamine

Fuel for emotional stability and cognitive clarity

L-Glutamine helps reduce sugar and alcohol cravings while repairing the gut lining, especially after prolonged substance use or stress-related damage.

Why Alternative Therapies Work in Recovery

Proper nutrition can help:

They help bypass overthinking and reach the emotional core

Many offer relief when talk therapy alone feels triggering or limited

They retrain the brain and body toward safety, presence, and trust

They often empower people who feel “burned out” on traditional care

For some, they offer a sacred or spiritual pathway to healing

You don’t need to become a nutritionist. You just need to learn what your body has been missing—and how to give it back, gently.
