WORK?
WHAT IS BIOHACKING?
Biohacking can be described as citizen or

“biohackers,” this consists of making small, 
incremental diet or lifestyle changes to

biohacking is founded on the idea that your 
body’s total genetic expression can be 
mapped out and optimized by testing how 
different nutrients affect your over time.

GRINDER
Grinder is a biohacking subculture that sees 
every part of the human body as hack-able.
In general, grinders seek to become 
“cyborgs” by optimizing their bodies with a 
combination of gadgets, chemical injections, 
implants, and anything else they can put 
into their body to make it work the way they 
want it to.

biological agents could cause health 
problems or break international bioterrorism 
laws.
