Why biohacking is just another marketing term like 'superfood' FYI @TheSciBabe @DrRachie @DrRobertOConnor @CaulfieldTim @pash22 @welovegv @Takethatdoctors @NaturoDiaries @DrJessBerentson @BethSkw @picardonhealth @matthewherper @CaraSantaMariahttps://twitter.com/GidMK/status/975481638862901250 …

I've been asking a lot of people (including biohackers) lately what counts as biohacking. Many say: basically everything. Caffeine? Lifting weights? Birth control implants? Yes! but also the stuff you mention as problematic. Goop and Moon Juice too.

See that's why I think it's basically just a marketing term. Calling coffee a 'biohacking tool' is just as meaningless as calling kale a 'superfood' - both terms are usually only used when someone is trying to sell you something

And then you have the obvious issue of computer nerds trying to do medicine, with stuff like "take hormones+SSRIs+cocaine but at a low dose it's good for you" the insane result

Yeah, a lot of marketing bullshit among the "mage" crowd. Not sure that the word has the same function among DIYers

Yeh that's why I wanted to split them up. The rogues are mostly just scientists who have no respect for regulation, which is stupid but understandable. The mages are basically alt med practitioners who like to use a different word
