11 Best BioHackers To Learn From

BioHacking is defined as:

"Biological experimentation done to improve the qualities or capabilities of living organism especially by individuals and groups working outside a traditional medical or scientific research environment."

Or more simply:

"Such experimentation done on one's own body."

We quite like Dave Asprey's definition of BioHacking which puts it more succinctly:

"To change the environment outside of you and inside of you so you have full control of your biology, to allow you to upgrade your body, mind and life.

In this article, we're going to introduce you to some of the leading BioHackers and individuals who are opening areas of conversation about aging and longevity.

Tim is a well-known BioHacker who is the Founder of the Health Optimisation Summit which started back in 2019.

His definition of BioHacking is:

"Biohacking is the art & science of using Nature, Technology (to mimick the effects of nature) & self experimentation to optimise your health."

The summit is focused on 3 main categories:

• Mind Optimisation - Flow States, Neurofeedback, Nootropics

• Body Optimisation - Stem Cell Therapy, Heavy Metals, Longevity & Anti-Aging

• Environment Optimisation - EMF, Cold Thermogenesis, Grounding

Tim has gathered some of the leading names (a couple are listed in this article) and gathered them in one room to talk about the latest break-throughs in health.
