Biohacking is the process of manipulating your brain and body to optimize performance. The methods reach beyond the area of traditional medicine and include a wider range of practices. Some people do more common things like Vipassana meditation, intermittent fasting, consuming high doses of daily supplements and tracking sleep. Others may delve into stranger techniques such as stem cell injections, bathing in infrared light, cryotherapy, neurofeedback and wading in virtual float tanks. The goal of biohacking also differs among proponents but, for the most part, is typically to optimize health to the highest achievable levels. This means being as smart and as strong as possible, for as long as possible. According to Gerontologist, Aubrey de Grey, people will live to be 1,000 years old and the first person who will live to be 1,000 is actually already born. He supports this claim based on his current research on repairing different types cellular and molecular damage that is associated with aging. For him, and others with similar mindsets, aging is not so much a health problem but more of an engineering one.
