Grinder Movement: Part of the biohacking community, "grinders" are individuals who actively implant devices and technologies in their bodies to enhance or change their body's functionality. This includes things like RFID chips, magnets, and even small computers.
Nootropics: A cornerstone of biohacking, nootropics, or "smart drugs," are supplements or substances used to enhance cognitive function. Biohackers extensively experiment with these substances to boost memory, focus, and overall brain power.
Bulletproof Coffee: Popularized by biohacker Dave Asprey, Bulletproof Coffee is a concoction of coffee, butter, and MCT oil. It claims to boost energy and cognitive function, becoming a staple in the biohacking diet.
Quantified Self Movement: This movement involves tracking various biometrics using technology (like wearables) to gather data on one's health, sleep patterns, physical activity, and diet, aiming for optimization and improvement.
DIY Biology: A significant portion of the biohacking community is made up of amateur biologists who conduct experiments outside of traditional laboratory settings, often in their own homes or in community labs, aiming to democratize science and biology.
