About Underground Biohacking

Chris Hallewell

I'm Chris, a former competitive rugby player, and now I play high-level Masters representative Touch Rugby.

At around 38, my recovery started taking longer. The niggles piled up. I was leaning on painkillers more than I liked, then a serious back injury changed everything. I had 2 major surgeries and was forced to withdraw from my national squad playing in the 2024 Touch World Cup.

After my second surgery and months of rehab, I still wasn't improving the way I needed to. That pushed me to look beyond the usual physio, rehab therapy and anti-inflammatories.

I discovered BPC-157, made the same mistake most men do, guessing without a plan and getting mediocre results. I thought I just took it like regular supplements and that was that. I learned quickly that peptides don't work well when you're guessing.

So I went deeper. I spoke with my sports medicine clinician, learned how to approach peptides properly, and built a structured recovery stack over time. About four weeks into doing it with intention, the difference was obvious. Mobility improved, inflammation settled, and I regained confidence in my body again.

I eventually returned to competitive Touch and recently earned selection for a Test Match series this year for my national team, one year after thinking I probably wouldn't play again.

Underground Biohacking exists to help other men avoid the same guesswork and run a clean 90-day framework they can track and review.

What We Cover

Peptide protocols for recovery and healing. Nootropics for cognitive performance. Legal performance tools used by athletes, executives, and tactical operators. Everything we publish is anchored in research, cited, and written for practical application.

Editorial Philosophy

Every article starts with the science. We cross-reference published studies, report mechanisms honestly, and flag where evidence is preclinical or anecdotal. When research is limited, we say so. When a compound is not for everyone, we say that too.

We don't do hype. We don't do clickbait. We don't promise overnight transformations. What we do is give you the same tactical breakdown you'd get from a well-read training partner who happens to read PubMed for fun.

Who This Is For

Men 35+ who are already training, already ambitious, and looking for an edge. You follow Huberman, you've considered peptides, you've read enough to know that most supplement advice is garbage, and you want someone to cut through the noise with real protocols.
