A once niche subculture, “biohacking” has become a fast growing movement of people looking to optimize themselves.

Through a combination of technology, nutritional supplements, and lifestyle choices, biohackers experiment with diet, exercise, sleep, and various other interventions in order to enhance physical and cognitive performance, improve health, and prolong life. While many biohacking practices are grounded in scientific data and have proven benefits, others are more experimental and controversial.

The biohacking movement reflects a growing interest in personalized health and a desire to take control of one’s own well-being.
