Biohacking Defined

Biohacking is defined by its principles of taking control of one's biology, with a focus on cognitive enhancement, longevity, and physical fitness. Dave Asprey explains that biohacking allows individuals to choose their path, whether it be achieving a lean physique or enhancing mental clarity 3. He contrasts this with traditional anti-aging medicine, which often focuses on superficial changes like plastic surgery 4. Asprey reflects on the evolution of biohacking, noting:

I was just really struggling with this and I said, I'm just gonna have to make up a new word because even longevity back then wasn't something people would follow.
