The Engineered Self describes the concept of intentionally and systematically modifying one’s own biological state, often through precise technological or biochemical interventions, to achieve desired physiological outcomes. It implies an active role in biological design.
Origin
This term reflects a modern intersection of biohacking culture, personalized medicine, and advanced endocrinology, moving beyond passive treatment toward active biological construction. It signifies agency over one’s inherent physiology.
Mechanism
The mechanism involves the calculated application of inputs—nutraceuticals, optimized training, or targeted hormone modulation—based on deep self-monitoring data. The objective is to create a self-regulating system tuned for specific performance or longevity parameters.
