# MyBioHack

> Evidence-based biohacking platform founded by Jacob Gordon (INHC, FMT-C). Research-backed articles on epigenetics, neuroimmunology, post-viral recovery, supplements, and health optimization protocols. Publishing since 2016.

## About

MyBioHack is a health research platform that publishes evidence-based content on biohacking, epigenetics, and functional medicine. Founded by Jacob Gordon, a board-certified integrative nutrition health coach (INHC) and functional medicine technology consultant (FMT-C), the site has been publishing since 2016.

Jacob's research focuses on root cause medicine, understanding the biological mechanisms behind chronic illness and developing data-driven protocols for recovery. His personal story involves healing from 28+ unexplained symptoms through self-experimentation and deep research into epigenetics, psychoneuroimmunology, and the microbiome.

## Content

- 424+ evidence-based blog articles covering brain health, gut health, hormones, detox, sleep, mitochondria, POTS, mold illness, and more
- Junction Dysfunction: a 47-chapter guide on tight junction biology, the glycocalyx, and intestinal permeability
- 3,360 medical glossary terms with plain-language definitions, surfaced inline as tooltips on first instance in every article
- Biohacking Bot: AI assistant that searches the full research library and answers with citations (retrieval-augmented, not fine-tuned)
- Help Center: 20 how-to guides on using the platform (Biohacking Bot, Health Hub, Junction Dysfunction, achievements, account and billing) at /help
- Lab test ordering and interpretation
- Supplement and gear recommendations
- Condition-specific research pages (Long COVID, MCAS, POTS, and Mold Illness) plus the reviewed Glycome Atlas

## Structured Data

Every article and chapter emits JSON-LD structured data. The following Schema.org types are available for machine reading:

- Organization and WebSite schema at the site root
- Article + BreadcrumbList on every blog post and Junction Dysfunction chapter (with author Person object, datePublished, dateModified)
- ProfilePage on /about (Jacob Gordon entity)
- Product + BreadcrumbList on /pro (membership plans)
- Service on /contact (consultation service)
- CollectionPage on /store, /achievements, /podcasts, /protocols
- MedicalWebPage and MedicalCondition on condition pages (/long-covid, /pots, /mcas, /mold-illness)
- FAQPage where relevant (/pro, /contact)
