BIOHACKING: The Science of Self-Optimisation - How we are reprogramming our biology

Humans are no longer just the product of their genes and environment - they are becoming the designers of their own biology. Biohacking combines the latest findings from genetics, neuroscience, nutritional medicine and longevity research to take health, performance and well-being to a new level. It's not for nothing that Elon Musk is also involved in this. But what is behind the promises of targeted self-optimisation? This book provides a scientific analysis of the methods and technologies we can use to actively influence our body and mind - from epigenetics and nootropics to cold therapy and personalised nutrition. It shows which mechanisms limit our biological potential and how we can overcome them in a targeted way. It not only highlights the opportunities, but also the risks of this rapidly growing movement. Are we ready to hack our biology? This book provides well-founded answers and a glimpse of a future in which the boundaries of the possible are pushed further and further. Bremen University Press has published over 4,500 academic books in various languages over the past 11 years.
