Is bio-hacking on your checklist for a first date?

’The Bible teaches us that we are to honour God with our bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), and while seeking to improve our health is not inherently wrong, we must not elevate any practice above our relationship with God,’ says Jemimah Wright.

Recently Sarah Rainey of The Times interviewed, Kayla Barnes-Lentz, 34, and her husband, Warren, 36. Before the couple met in real life (they initially connected through the dating app, Raya) Kayla asked for: ‘…a detailed assessment of Warren’s health, including checks on his gut, analysis of the toxins in his body, his nutrient levels and risk of inflammation.’

Turns out he passed the test, because they are both into bio-hacking. This is a term that refers to the practice of optimizing the body and mind using science, technology, and even unconventional methods to increase performance and longevity.
