What Is Biohacking?
According to Breitfeld, the term biohacking can best be translated as self-optimization or self-responsible health management. Simply put, biohacking encompasses a wide variety of measures to feel better both physically and mentally. What this can mean in concrete terms is most impressively illustrated by the example of the former fitness editor and founder of an internationally active PR agency. I was completely knackered in my early 40s and felt worse than others in their 80s or 90s. I no longer had any bodily functions that worked properly and wanted to retire from life in Thailand, Breitfeld recounts. Friends, his family doctor, his professional experience as a journalist and a book by Tim Ferriss ( The 4-Hour Body ) saved him. Andreas Breitfeld took responsibility for his body and his health. He discovered biohacking and now, in his late 40s, feels more vital than ever.
