INSIGHT

Biohacking As Systematic Personal Engineering

  • Biohacking is proactively tuning biology using science to improve energy, mood, cognition, and longevity.
  • Serge Faguet moved from sleep and exercise to genetics, supplements, hormones, neurotropics, and medical teams led by Peter Attia over years of iterative experiments.
ANECDOTE

B12 Fix For MTHFR And High Homocysteine

  • Serge discovered high homocysteine and an MTHFR mutation via 23andMe plus Promethease and blood tests, then fixed it with large B12 doses.
  • Homocysteine dropped and he reported improved sleep, mood control, and measurable biomarker changes.
ADVICE

Get Genetic And Blood Data Early

  • Use direct-to-consumer blood testing services (e.g., Life Extension) and 23andMe plus Promethease to get genetics and biomarker data.
  • Expect interpretation to be the hard part and consider specialists experienced in proactive preventive medicine.
