Le Biohacker / Editorial manifestoPublic document, continuously revised

Biological optimization without a personality cult.

Le Biohacker is an independent media outlet, written under a pseudonym, focused on protocols with cited sources for improving energy, sleep, cognition and metabolic resilience. The promise is simple: less storytelling, more verifiable methodology.

Why this project?

French-language biohacking is saturated with quick promises, recycled content, and recommendations sometimes dictated by the product being sold. Here, the goal is the opposite: start with the data, explain the limitations, and only then offer an actionable protocol.

The articles combine scientific literature, physiological plausibility, personal experiences, and, when the protocol allows, concrete measurements: sleep, HRV, blood glucose, blood tests, or documented subjective experience.

The same method led to a book: Code Énergie, published under the same pseudonym, with its sources cited and its limitations stated.

The editorial method

An article isn't valuable because it sounds scientific. It's valuable because its claims can be traced, challenged and updated.

Hierarchy of evidence

Meta-analyses and human trials carry more weight than cellular mechanisms, animal studies, or anecdotes. When the level of evidence is low, it must be identified as such.

Visible sources

The articles draw on primary sources, scientific reviews, health agencies, and recognized publications. Readers should be able to trace an important claim back to its origin.

Cautious protocols

Dosages, contraindications, interactions and at-risk populations are addressed cautiously. A useful protocol must never obscure the conditions under which it applies.

Possible corrections

Science evolves. If an error is detected or better data emerge, the content may be corrected or updated. You can also report a problem through the page contact.

Independence and affiliation

Some links may be affiliate links and help fund the site. This transparency is essential: a commission must never determine an editorial conclusion.

A recommendation must remain defensible even without payment. If a product is poor, underdosed, useless or too risky, it must be open to criticism, whether or not an affiliate program exists.

What I do not promise

  • No miracle cure or universal protocol.
  • No personalized medical advice.
  • No certainty when the data only support a hypothesis.
