With proven


medical treatments


for aging,


brain disease,


unrefreshing


sleep, and low


productivity years,


or even decades,


away, some people


consider self-


experimentation


to be the fastest


route to a healthier,


happier, longer


life. They call it


BIOHACKING.


But does it work?


For two months, I


hacked myself to


ind out. My goal


was to separate


the science from


the BS. But if I


ended up stronger,


smarter, faster,


healthier, calmer,


more creative, and


more productive,


that would be


okay, too.
