## Transcript

So hey everybody, I'm building BiohackerDAO, which is a tokenized biohacker collective. And so throughout Edge, I'm going to try to involve as many of you as possible in a bunch of activities that we want to run. But the thing that I really want to talk about today is why are we all here? So not in a philosophical sense, but the answer is, I think, to experiment. So we're here to experiment with different ideas, but also different lifestyles, and this definitely includes health. So Brian Johnson, we know this guy, he's probably done the most to popularize the notion of personal health protocols with his blueprint, but, well, it might be the case that you don't want to spend like $200,000 a year and give up everything that you enjoy in life. And if that's the case, there is still stuff you can do to optimize your health while here at Lana. So you might be already thinking about this, you might be planning to do like daily runs or experiment with fasting, maybe cold plunges, saunas. And all of these are pretty good protocols that you can trial. But the answer always is, how do you measure results, right? So the answer to that is you need data. And personally, this is something I'm doing I'm collecting data on over 40 of my biomarkers daily and aggregating them but yeah what we're gonna be doing here at HCT Lana it's gonna be much simpler than that so I'm proposing an experiment. We're going to take two blood tests, one at the start of the experience, so next week, and another one two to three weeks later, depending on when you're leaving, so towards the end. And we'll be basically trying to see how our lifestyle interventions that we are doing whilst here have impacted our bodies on like really the micro level. We will focus on a few key biomarkers and each participant will be free to choose whatever interventions they want to trial. So this is just a humble break. So we'll be also using an app to estimate your biological age before and after, which is always a fun thing to do. It's like just getting one aggregate metric for everything. This is an example on myself of what's achievable, not in the space of two to three weeks, but in the long run. So I have reduced my biological age of some of my body systems, like my telomeres, to like 40-45% of my actual age. So lifestyle interventions can actually have real impact. And yeah, so if you want to take part, please sign up and join. We'll be doing an info session on Monday during lunch at our lunch venue. We'll be then doing the actual first blood draw together at a local clinic on Wednesday, first thing in the morning when you fasted. But we will talk about all of that and like more details about what's going on on Monday. So please do come and join us. And yeah, you can also check out Biohacker DAO on X to see what we are up to, or you can talk to me while I'm here. And yeah, we'd love to involve you guys. Thank you. Thank you.
