The importance of continual self-improvement and development cannot be understated, especially in the world of biohacking. But there is also something that cannot be overstated in this same realm of personal health and growth, and that is the vital role that women play. Often argued (and affirmed as) the more intuitive of the 2 sexes, women have and continue to push themselves and their community towards their health, wellness, and wisdom goals. In a lot of ways, men have it easy. Our bodies’ instruction manual is comparable to a generic IKEA coffee table’s guided instructions; not a lot to decipher. But some could compare women bodies’ manuals to NASA’s rocket construction directions; a lot of steps, and A LOT to understand. Granted, the woman’s body is easily the more attractive of the two in my opinion and I want it to be clear that although this statement is bias, I mean this as a more aesthetic, art-like manner. The symmetry, the intricacy, the mysteriousness, the gracefulness, just the way everything connects. Perhaps its because of this clear advantage in the beauty category, that it takes a lot to master all the processes within it. It once was said that in the beginning God first made man, but then afterwards he took a long look at him and then told himself, “I can do better than that”, and then made woman. Women are at the forefront of biohacking and its clear that the industry would not be where it is today without them. Due to women having to figure out all of their complexities, but also having the tenacity and courage to do so, they have stood side by side with men and helped to share the helpful and needed knowledge of health optimization with the world. It is with great pleasure and respect that we dedicate this issue to all of the women in the world striving to promote good health, strong lives, and clearer minds. Although we have had and will continue to have female authors and subject matter in past and future issues, every article contained inside this particular issue is either written by a female author or purely feminine in subject matter. This is our way to take a moment to highlight and thank all those women out there doing their thing. At Biohackers Magazine, we believe, - no, we know that every woman’s thought and word is just as important as every man’s. And we are here to provide this magazine as the ontic evidence to that. Without further ado, enjoy your new ‘woman-ful’ issue!

Progress. It’s a word with meanings of advancement, improvement, and a clear change towards a goal or objective. From the moment humans have inhabited this Earth, our whole existence as a species has experienced Progress, as well as Decay. Civilizations had flourished and progressed for many years, and then decayed slowly and rotted over time until there was little to nothing left. What is left however are usually things that we following civilizations have studied and learned from. The remnants of civilizations are usually the teachings, technologies, and tools that outlast them. History does love to repeat itself and leave the following generations wondering what their marks on the world and human progress will be. Going beyond the terminology and historical examples, one can ask some more insightful, profound questions. The first is, why is there progress or decay in the first place? There is of course no clear answer to this, but I suppose it can be best summed up with the phrase, ‘First there is time, And then there is what you do with it.’ By that I mean that there is a natural order to the way things are and that to accept that there is life given to each and every being, also means one’s acceptance of this law of progress and de- cay. We, as humans, are bound to grow, just as we’re bound to shrink into old age. Although we cannot change this supernatural law of the universe, we can in many cases choose how fast we progress or decay. We can use our rational human brain towards the consistent progression of ourselves, our community, and our world. We can do this through sustained faith and steady discipline. In turn, this decreases the decaying rate. On the other hand, through the coddled comfort of selfishness and endless pity, we can do just the opposite and plateau our progress while accelerating our rate of decay. One of the main reasons I like Biohacking is because of its communal camaraderie continually focusing on progress. In fact, many famed biohackers discovered and healed themselves through biohacking after finding themselves in a deathly sick cycle of decay and depression. Biohacking, when used safely, conservatively, and respectfully can help us determine what it is that we need to progress in, how we can do it, as well as how we can measure it, and why we should progress and become the best version of ourselves. We as individuals, families, and communities can learn a lot through our experiences with decay and use these dark fragments to build a brighter picture of progress overall. And while history may indeed repeat itself as it continually proves, we as individuals have the power to choose our rate of progression and decay. Choose wisely.

When one experiences a new product, a new treatment, or a new idea, there’s little that compares to the feelings of excitement and hope that rush in, fueling one’s faith in the upright direction of humanity. I just recently attended the 8th Annual Biohacking Conference hosted by Dave Asprey in LA and like each biohacking event, I left feeling inspired to say the least. Everything I saw, every person I met, and every biohack I experienced, further fed my appetite to share these great ideas and practices with the world, a world hungering for the opposite approach of industrialized medicine. Now, of course, not every biohack is exactly 100% proven. Suffice it to say, there are many that are still in the process of collecting data from studies and clinical trials. However, those that have stood up to the modern pill-popping regimes and have adamantly supported their ideas on the foundations of strong scientific data, are truly examples to be held in high regard. I was impressed with the many products and companies at the conference that held a mission of dedicated service to fellow mankind. Yes, like in any startup industry, or even industry for that matter, there are those who are looking to push some falsehood to scheme people into buying their product or services. But as we know, the companies that rise to the top are those that stick to the cardinal virtues that make up all of us, Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, and Temperance. The Biohacking Industry is outgrowing its mold and soon a new layer of enthusiasts will be added. This is something that should enthrall us, but it shouldn't permit us to lose sight of the foundational attributes that make and will continue to make us biohackers for the rest of our lives. Essentially, we are all after freedom - freedom from disease, freedom from injury, freedom from hysteria, and freedom from aging. Responsible Biohacking is perhaps the best way towards that freedom, and we must continually adjust our sails to catch the winds that stem from truth and service. That is what we at Biohackers Magazine strive towards - serving the community through the provision of information carefully discerned and attuned to the values of sincerity and science.
