Biohacking has undergone a transformative journey. The original form of biohacking revolved around citizen science in biology. They were primarily interested in hands-on experimentation with DNA and microbes.
As more people joined, the definition of biohacking became more inclusive. New forms of biohacking focused on nutrition, technology, and self-improvement. Smartwatches, brain-enhancing drugs, and fitness apps became central tools.
Simultaneously, underground communities experimented with cybernetic enhancements. Some biohackers inserted tech under their skin to gain new abilities. These individuals often work outside traditional medical oversight.
Biohacking today is a broad umbrella term with many interpretations. To individuals practicing intermittent fasting and cold exposure for health benefits, biohacking convention represents a convergence of biology, technology, and self-discipline.
With CRISPR and AI, the limits of biohacking continue to expand. Interest in self-enhancement and longevity ensures the trend will continue.
