Forget Pedialyte—Here’s the Real Hangover Cure
A smarter way to bounce back after a night out
Frank Kafka once said,
"Time is short, my strength is limited, the office is a horror, the apartment is noisy; and if a pleasant, straightforward life is not possible, then one must try to wriggle through by subtle maneuvers."
Even though he was referring to his late-night writing routine, I feel Frank was talking about partying.
Think about it—time is short, we have limited energy, the office does suck—so yes, partying is necessary.
But some of us party every weekend, and yet we always end up wrecked, telling our friends, “Bad night, man. Bad night…”
Well, why on earth did you do all that stupid shit then?
Aren’t you supposed to be a professional partier?
I gained this perspective through my own pains
I use to wake up after DJing a club till 5am with my throat covered in cigarette tar, and my mouth reeking of some cocktail-infused soda. I would sit in bed all day, drink cheap electrolyte water, and waste away my day feeling sick.
But over time, I began to refine my approach.
I started being strategic about when I party, where I party, and how to bounce back after a long night out. I gained the biohacks that would help me feel like a champ the next day.
So this article is the ultimate hangover remedy. And it’s going to be a lot easier than you think.
You’ll spend a little money, pop a little something (like some supplements), and most of the time you’ll be sitting in the sun like an amphibian.
Once we get that, we don’t have to worry about sitting in bed all day, haunted by the Sunday scaries.
P.S if you want to book me as a DJ I can throw down……
P.S. — This is not a blackout free pass.
This isn’t, “I’m just gonna pop these supplements tomorrow and take half a gram of ecstasy—wahoo!”
God no. Respect yourself.
A little of anything goes a long way❤️
3 Hangover Myths Busted
Back in the Frat there were some customary ways people would go about recovering from the party yesterday.
They would sleep in, wake up around 5pm, take a “chop” and the drink some pedialyte.
Time to expose all the frat bros and these cheap ass hangover cures.
1. Sleeping In
“But sleeping in allowed me to rest some more, Jack!?”
You think it did—but it really did not.
At best, you got some mediocre light sleep with a few dashes of REM spread throughout.
The restorative, replenishing, brain-rejuvenating, toxin-clearing sleep that comes with a scheduled bedtime before 11 p.m.? That did not happen.
And yes, I understand we are sacrificing sleep that night to go out, every once in a while is ok, even our ancestors stayed up late, and howled at the moon and geeked out. Once again, 100% a longevity hack.
But if we want to sleep good the night after the hangover you need to wake up at—or close to—the same time you usually do.
So if you wake up at 7 a.m. every morning, and you got home at 4 a.m. last night, you better try and wake up at 7. 8 at the latest. And yeah, it sucks.
But it’s something we can’t argue with. Because we have this 24-hour clock in our body called the circadian rhythm.
And the circadian rhythm is influenced not only by our environment—light, temperature, sound, and air—but also by our behaviors.
So when we wake up at 7 a.m. and move, and get sunlight, and eat some food, our body instinctively knows:
“Hey, it’s time to wake up and kickstart the hormones, the dopamine, all that.”
And then, when it gets dark, and we slow down, and the temperature drops, and we cozy up next to a good book and some red light… the body goes:
“Fire up the melatonin, bruh! It’s sleep time.”
So now—every time I finish a long night, even though it’s really hard—I try to make it home around 1–2 a.m. and get up around the same time I normally do.
Yes, it sucks. But It helps me get proper sleep the night after.
2. Staying inside all day.
Staying inside all day. Are you trying not to recover from your boozy hangover???
Many people believe the best way to recover from a fun night out is to crawl into bed and binge Netflix until 5 p.m.
But the fact is, by staying inside, we’re not allowing our bodies to detox or regulate our circadian rhythm. We’re actually slowing down the hangover recovery process.
We have a lymphatic system that drains toxins, and a circadian rhythm that helps turn on our energy and detox pathways. Both require us to go outside, get sunlight, ground, and move.
So even though sometimes it’s brutal, I take my hungover ass outside and get some morning sun and walk around, or crawl….
Then I hit up Barton Springs in Austin and proceed to chill, get grounded and set my body up for success.
3. Pizza and Pedialyte
Most people after getting home from the club, call up the local 24 pizza joint and down a whole pizza, proclaiming
Bro it will soak up the alcohol.
Mate, all that’s going to do is make you more inflamed and fat.
And then you gonna be hungover from seed oil pesticide artificial flavors pizza.
(Unless, of course, we’re talking biohacked pizza and tacos… which—by the way—who wants a recipe?)
Fun fact: the best time to eat your largest meal is around 2 p.m., because that’s when the mitochondria were most active... before they even entered our bodies in that wild symbiotic bacterial merger we now call life.
The best thing to do, is not to eat once you get home, wake up fast for a bit and then eat some nutritious food that will give you the energy to detox, heal and just feel better.
So after a party night, I wake up, roll around like a decapitated jelly bean, and head to SunLife Organics, one of my favorite superfood smoothie bars, so I can replenish.
Whether you drank, did drugs, or just stayed up way too late—your body is likely dehydrated and in desperate need of something to restore and protect your immune system and cells.
So I get some healthy fats, some superfoods, a little creatine... and I order the Billion Dollar Smoothie, which contains:
Banana, raw cashew butter, raw plant protein, raw cacao nibs, maca, colostrum, olive oil, trace mineral complex, pink Himalayan salt, chia seeds, raw honey, and hemp milk.
Then I’ll grab a nice butter coffee with raw honey in it—their Prymal Latte:
Hot drip coffee, grass-fed butter, Prymal superfood creamer, raw honey.
And sometimes I’ll even get a superfood bagel—with toasted gluten-free bread topped with peanut butter, banana, chocolate spread, raw honey, goji berries, raw cacao nibs, and pink Himalayan salt.
Then after that—it’s off to Barton Springs, where I’ll sit in the sun, soak in the large natural spring, and get oh so grounded.
OH SO GROUNDED?
Yes. Grounding—the magnetic energy from the earth literally connects to your cells, releases inflammation, boosts energy, and makes you feel like a million bucks.
It also helps tremendously with sleep and recovery.
Plus—it’s just nice to move your body in the water. I stretch a bit. Touch my toes by hanging onto the wall. Put my legs up. Shake my body out in the cold water. Take deep, full breaths.
Now I’m really feeling like a million bucks.
Then I lay more in the sun and read a book about coffee—while drinking my coffee.
(I stop caffeine by 12:30 p.m. sharp. Hard deadline.)
SUMMARY
Forget these myths
“Sleeping in helps you recover.” False. It wrecks your circadian rhythm and makes you even more tired.
“Pizza and Pedialyte will soak up the booze and hydrate you.” False. They’re filled with garbage and only inflame your body further, making recovery harder.
“Staying in bed all day is good.” False. Your body has a lymphatic system that needs to move to detox, and a circadian rhythm that needs light and motion to reset.
THE KEYS
wake up close to your normal time,
get outside, eat and drink nutrient-dense foods,
and get oh so grounded.
But, of course, this is Biohack with Jack—and you better believe I’ve got some supplements for you to hack the hangover.

💥 Ultimate Biohacker Recovery Stack:
Now let’s say you somehow find yourself at a biohacking facility the morning after your night out.
Congrats—you might be crazy. I totally dig it.
There are tons of things you can do to detox, restore, rejuvenate, and replenish... just make sure you brought your credit card, because this ain’t cheap.
If I were rich, hungover, and standing in a biohacking clinic, here’s exactly what I’d do:
PEMF therapy – Charge your cells with pulsed electromagnetic fields
HOCATT or ozone sauna – Deep detox, big sweat, next-level recovery
Infrared sauna – For relaxation, circulation, and reducing inflammation
Red light therapy – For mitochondria, mood, and skin
Deep tissue massage – Boosts lymphatic flow and helps you sleep better
IV drip with NAD+ and B vitamins – Cellular fuel + detox magic
EBOO session – Fancy ozone blood cleanse if you’re really going in
Theta chamber – Deep meditative reset for your fried nervous system
Colonic – Yep. Go all the way. Clean house for Monday
Honestly? That combo would run you a solid $3,000+. But if you’re ready to level up (and flush out everything), it’s worth every penny.
It’s now Monday. I left the club Saturday night (technically Sunday morning). And now—I’m back here, ready to kick some ass.
