WELLNESS BIOHACKING

Presence

“Biohacking is the art and science of changing the environment around you and inside you, so you have more control over your own biology”

The goal is to be and become the best version of yourself.

GENES / DNA

• Gene Therapy = a replacement gene added or disease-causing gene inactivated.

• New instructions to cells via viruses carrying the correct DNA strands.

• Todays’s gene therapy adds genes—replace one in your body that isn’t working.

• Coming soon – gene editing to replace bad genes: CRISPR, cheaply altering DNA,

• Offering new ways to attack cancer, autoimmune diseases, reverse some blindness and deafness, etc.
