SELLEST OSAST
In this episode of OpenSciences.ch, we sit down with Jim Cheng — technologist, performance optimiser, and dedicated biohacker — to explore the real meaning of biohacking beyond the buzzwords.
What started as niche self-experimentation has now become a global movement: people taking control of their biology using tools like red light therapy, microdosing, cold exposure, and wearable data. But is biohacking about shortcuts — or sustainable, personalised health?
We ask:
What does mental agility really mean, and can microdosing help?
Where’s the line between optimisation and obsession?
How do you separate hype from habit in the world of performance science?
Jim shares his personal biohacking routines, insights on data-driven living, and why small daily decisions may have the biggest long-term impact on longevity and well-being.
This is a grounded, science-forward conversation about living better — not just longer.
💼 Key Takeaways:
🔬 What biohacking actually is — beyond butter coffee and supplements.
🧠 How microdosing, cold exposure, and red light therapy may support mental agility and performance.
🔥 The fine line between science-backed longevity and wellness hype.
📊 Why optimizing your health isn't just a lifestyle — it's a mindset and a strategy.
🤯 Jim’s personal protocols and how he self-tests, tracks, and adjusts his routine.
