Biohacking is the practice of using science, technology, and self-experimentation to optimize your body

 

Biohacking is the practice of using science, technology, and self-experimentation to optimize your body and mind. It ranges from simple lifestyle tweaks to advanced tech interventions.

Here are the main types:

🧠 Lifestyle biohacking:

• Intermittent fasting

• Cold plunges or saunas

• Tracking sleep, nutrition, or workouts

• Using blue light blockers or grounding techniques

💊 Nutritional/supplement biohacking:

• Nootropics (cognitive enhancers)

• Adaptogens like ashwagandha or rhodiola

• Personalized supplements based on blood tests or DNA

💻 Tech-enhanced biohacking:

• Wearables (Oura ring, Whoop, CGMs)

• Neurofeedback or brain stimulation

• DIY biology—some even implant tech into their bodies (grinders)

⚠️ Important: Not all biohacks are backed by science. Some can be risky, especially when self-experimenting with unregulated supplements or extreme protocols.

At its core, biohacking is about self-optimization through data, awareness, and experimentation—but it should always be balanced with safety and common sense.
