I just got back from a biohacking conference, and within minutes, I had a headache. Why? Because every other person was wearing cologne or perfume.

And here’s why that matters: perfumes are one of the biggest scams in the wellness space right now.
Pretty bottles, seductive marketing, synthetic poison.

These “fragrances” are toxic chemical cocktails disguised as luxury. They’re not harmless.
They’re hormone disruptors. They’re air pollution. And honestly, they should come with a warning label.

Let’s Get Real

You’re the kind of person who cares. You buy organic, you hydrate, you cold plunge, you biohack because you want to look good, and live with energy and clarity.
But then, you (or the person next to you) spray on a hormone-wrecking “designer” scent every morning.

It’s wild.
So many “conscious” humans still walking around in a synthetic cloud of chemicals that literally hijack the body’s endocrine system; the master regulator of energy, metabolism, and mood.

What’s Actually in “Fragrance”?

Let’s strip the label and tell the truth:

• “Fragrance” is a legal loophole that can hide hundreds of undisclosed chemicals.

• Many of them are endocrine disruptors — meaning they mess with your hormones.

• Studies link fragrance exposure to headaches, fatigue, asthma, and hormone imbalance.

• The average perfume contains phthalates, synthetic musks, and aldehydes : chemicals known to bioaccumulate in the body and environment.

So yeah, that headache at the biohacking conference?
It wasn’t “just a smell.” It was my body saying this is not wellness.

Why It’s Time to Ditch the Chemical Cloud

You can’t live in alignment while inhaling endocrine disruptors.
You can’t preach optimization while breathing toxins.
You can’t biohack your way to coherence if your scent is silently working against you.

If you’re chasing high-frequency living: radiant energy, emotional clarity, hormone harmony...you’ve got to start with what you put on and in your body.

Better Alternatives (That Don’t Lie to You)

The solution isn’t to live unscented, it’s to live intentionally scented.

• Choose essential oil blends with full ingredient transparency.

• Go for plant-based, low-tox aromas made with real botanicals.

• Skip anything with “fragrance” on the label unless it lists every component.

• Bonus tip: diffuse grounding oils like frankincense, neroli, or sandalwood. They raise your frequency and calm your nervous system.

Truth smells different. It’s subtle. It’s alive.

And While We’re on the Topic of Truth...

What you eat is part of your energetic hygiene too.
Most “healthy” bars out there are like perfume, dressed up, disguised, and full of fake.

That’s why we created HIGHERBAR. Food with frequency.
Pure superfoods, superflowers, no synthetics, no “natural flavors.”
Because integrity doesn’t stop at your skincare or your scent. It’s how you feed your body, your cells, your life force.

HIGHERBAR is the clean fuel for the modern, conscious, beautifully imperfect human. No toxins. No confusion. Just truth in a bar.

Mantra Monday

“I release what’s fake, in scent, in food, in thought. I return to what’s real.
My body knows truth and wants to heal."

Say it out loud this week.
Let it clear the air, literally and energetically.
Because wellness isn’t just what you do. It’s what you allow.
