How the Internet Turned Biohacking Into a Cultural Obsession

The gist

1. 90% of Americans have heard of GLP-1s but only 11% use them, so social media buzz can badly inflate market size estimates.
2. Biohacking and peptide use started in Midwestern bodybuilding communities and Texas med-spas, not Silicon Valley, so look outside tech to spot early trends.
3. Thelot says wearables have genuinely improved health outcomes, but wrong data from trackers causes measurable mood and performance drops, pointing to opportunity in accuracy certification.

4. Users are adopting holistic practices like acupuncture alongside their wearables rather than instead of them, opening space for hybrid data-plus-intuition offerings.
