In ancient China there was a quest to achieving immortality. Emperor physicians were ordered to find the elixir of longevity or even better immortality. Although some of the tonics have been found to be helpful in improving ones health, chance of survival and in warding off a disease; some were unfortunately fatal.
This goes for the story of usage of mercury in the times of Emperor Qin Shi Huang. (https://www.livescience.com/61286-first-chinese-emperor-sought-immortality.html)

Biohacking is different from unachievable goal of immortality, however it is a new trendy term to describe "hacking" of ones genetics to improve and optimise ones health outcomes based on individual genetic predispositions.
In Chinese Medicine we would describe it as living in accordance with ones constitutional pattern, based on the Theory of Five Fazes.
We also would focus on preserving the Jing, essence passed on by our ancestors (some believe Jing means genetics).
Can modern Biohacking be useful in blending it with Chinese Medicine?
In my opinion Diet Nutrition and Lifestyle, herbs, supplements, type of exercise etc. can be finetuned by using both philosophies.
