Scientific Self-Experimentation

Meaning

Scientific Self-Experimentation, often termed N=1 research in a clinical context, is the disciplined and methodical application of scientific principles to one’s own health and wellness interventions, using objective data to measure outcomes. This involves formulating a clear hypothesis, meticulously controlling variables, tracking high-resolution biomarkers, and rigorously analyzing the results of a specific hormonal, nutritional, or lifestyle change. It is a highly personalized form of empirical inquiry used to refine an individualized biochemical strategy. This approach demands a high degree of precision and objectivity.
