From self-help books and nootropics, to self-tracking and home health tests, to the tinkering with technology and biological particles - biohacking brings biology, medicine, and the material foundation of life into the sphere of »do-it-yourself«. This trend has the potential to fundamentally change people's relationship with their bodies and biology but it also creates new cultural narratives of responsibility, authority, and differentiation. Covering a broad range of examples, this book explores practices and representations of biohacking in popular culture, discussing their ambiguous position between empowerment and requirement, promise and prescription.

Biomedical Defense Principles to Counter DNA Deep Hacking presents readers with a comprehensive look at the emerging threat of DNA hacking. Dr. Rocky Termanini goes in-depth to uncover the erupting technology being developed by a new generation of savvy bio-hackers who have skills and expertise in biomedical engineering and bioinformatics. The book covers the use of tools such as CRISPR for malicious purposes, which has led agencies such as the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence to add gene editing to its annual list of threats posed by "weapons of mass destruction and proliferation." Readers will learn about the methods and possible effects of bio-hacking attacks, and, in turn the best methods of autonomic and cognitive defense strategies to detect, capture, analyze, and neutralize DNA bio-hacking attacks, including the versatile DNA symmetrical AI Cognitive Defense System (ACDS). DNA bio-hackers plan to destroy, distort and contaminate confidential, healthy DNA records and potentially create corrupted genes for erroneous diagnosis of illnesses, disease genesis and even wrong DNA fingerprinting for criminal forensics investigations. Presents a comprehensive reference for the fascinating emerging technology of DNA storage, the first book to present this level of detail and scope of coverage of this groundbreaking field Helps readers understand key concepts of how DNA works as an information storage system and how it can be applied as a new technology for data storage Provides readers with key technical understanding of technologies used to work with DNA data encoding, such as CRISPR, as well as emerging areas of application and ethical concern, such as smart cities, cybercrime, and cyber warfare Includes coverage of synthesizing DNA-encoded data, sequencing DNA-encoded data, and fusing DNA with Digital Immunity Ecosystem (DIE)

In his midtwenties, Dave Asprey was a successful Silicon Valley multimillionaire. He also weighed 300 pounds, despite the fact that he was doing what doctors recommended: eating 1,800 calories a day and working out 90 minutes a day, six times a week. When his excess fat started causing brain fog and food cravings sapped his energy and willpower, Asprey turned to the same hacking techniques that made his fortune to "hack" his own biology, investing more than $300,000 and 15 years to uncover what was hindering his energy, performance, appearance, and happiness. From private brain EEG facilities to remote monasteries in Tibet, through radioactive brain scans, blood chemistry work, nervous system testing, and more, he explored traditional and alternative technologies to reach his physical and mental prime. The result? The Bulletproof Diet, an anti-inflammatory program for hunger-free, rapid weight loss and peak performance. The Bulletproof Diet will challenge--and change--the way you think about weight loss and wellness. You will skip breakfast, stop counting calories, eat high levels of healthy saturated fat, work out and sleep less, and add smart supplements. In doing so, you'll gain energy, build lean muscle, and watch the pounds melt off. By ditching traditional "diet" thinking, Asprey went from being overweight and sick in his twenties to maintaining a 100-pound weight loss, increasing his IQ, and feeling better than ever in his forties. The Bulletproof Diet is your blueprint to a better life.

Many people struggle with the initial hurdle of starting an exercise routine. This tip focuses on building sustainable habits that become automatic over time. Identify Your Triggers: What situations or times of day make you more likely to exercise? Maybe it's after work, before breakfast, or with a workout buddy. Schedule your workouts around these triggers to increase the chances of sticking to them. Stack Habits: Pair exercise with an existing habit you already do consistently. For example, listen to your favorite podcast only while walking or jogging, or do some bodyweight exercises while waiting for your coffee to brew. Reward Yourself Strategically: Celebrate your achievements, but with non-food rewards. Treat yourself to a massage after a successful week, watch an episode of your favorite show after a tough workout, or buy some new workout clothes to stay motivated. Prioritize Sleep: The Unsung Hero of Fitness Sleep deprivation disrupts hormones that regulate hunger and metabolism, making it harder to lose weight and build muscle. Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. Create a Sleep Sanctuary: Ensure your bedroom is dark, cool, and quiet. Invest in blackout curtains, a comfortable mattress, and eliminate electronic distractions before bed. Develop a Relaxing Wind-Down Routine: Take a warm bath, read a book, or practice light yoga or meditation before bed to calm your mind and prepare for sleep. Optimize Your Diet for Sleep: Avoid heavy meals, caffeine, and alcohol close to bedtime. Opt for sleep-promoting foods like cherries, almonds, and chamomile tea.
