Black Girl Biohacking is a longevity education platform centered on biological literacy, self-experimentation, and culturally grounded health practices for Black women.

No. This content is educational. Use it to guide questions, track patterns, and build informed conversations with licensed healthcare professionals.

Because biology does not operate outside of environment, access, and lived experience. Chronic stress physiology, toxin exposure, and healthcare bias shape outcomes and must be accounted for.

Start with baseline levers that improve multiple systems at once:

• Sleep timing and morning light exposure (circadian alignment)
• Hydration plus minerals
• Protein-forward meals and blood sugar stability
• Reducing ultra-processed foods and fragrance exposure
• Walking after meals and daily bowel movements

Common foundations include fasting glucose, fasting insulin, A1C, lipid panel, hs-CRP, vitamin D, ferritin, B12, thyroid markers, and a comprehensive metabolic panel.

For most people, every 3–6 months during active changes, then 1–2 times per year for maintenance. Follow a clinician’s cadence if you are adjusting medications or correcting deficiencies.

No. Most longevity return comes from sleep, food quality, movement, light exposure, and toxin reduction. Tools can help, but they are optional.

Nervous system load alters sleep quality, hormones, inflammation, gut function, immune response, and recovery. Long-term health requires physiology and life context to be addressed together.
