The Stack · gear, if you want it

The short list. No hype, no wand.

Everything here is commodity gear, not medicine. It is on the list because it earns its place, not because of a payout, and the protocol never depends on any of it. The medical recommendations live behind licensed providers and carry no affiliate economics at all. This is the other half: the stuff that helps at the margins, priced honestly.

4 categories · picked for the reader, disclosed either way

01 · Base Layers

Merino under everything, October through April. Regulates temperature, resists smell, and is cut like clothes instead of trail gear.

Unbound Merino Wool that survives three wears without smelling, in a plain cut you can wear to dinner. The travel crowd figured this out first. The one to start with. Apparel · $80+
Minus33 The value version of the same idea, made in New Hampshire, in heavier weights for actual cold. The base layer you stop worrying about. Apparel · $50+

02 · Red Light

Ten minutes most mornings. The evidence for skin and localized recovery holds up; the whole-body claims are thinner. One lever, not the protocol.

Mito Red Light A real panel, which is why it is here and not a $40 wand. If you are going to buy one thing in this category and keep it for years, buy the one with the irradiance numbers published. Recovery · $400+
Hooga Health The same idea without the premium price. Where to start if you want to try red light before committing to a full panel. Recovery · $100+

03 · Blue-Light Glasses

For the two hours before bed, when the screen does not care that you have a 6am lift. The honest case is sleep timing, not all-day eye strain.

BON CHARGE Amber lenses that actually block the evening wavelengths, in frames you would wear in front of people. Cheaper than a melatonin habit, and no grogginess. Also makes the red-light and sleep gear if you want one brand. Sleep · $80+

04 · Sleep Tech

The most underrated lever in the building. Temperature and data are the two pieces most people never touch.

Sleepme (ChiliPad / Dock Pro) A water-cooled pad that drops the bed a few degrees. Temperature is one of the few sleep levers with hard evidence behind it. Not cheap. Worth it if heat is what wrecks your nights. Sleep · $600+
Oura A number to argue with your own sense of how you slept. Mostly useful for catching the nights alcohol or a late dinner cost you. Only as good as what you change because of it. Tracking · $299

The fine print

How this page makes money, in plain terms.

Some links here are affiliate links, disclosed. Where OPTN has a relationship with the maker, we earn a small cut and your price is exactly the same. No product is on this page because of that cut, and nothing in a medical protocol ever carries an affiliate link. That line does not move.

Gear only. Not medical advice, not a treatment recommendation. Talk to a clinician before you change anything that matters. Take the assessment if you want a starting point.
