Biohacking on Rai 1: Fabio Pietrosanti interviewed on Codice
Italy's main public television channel devoted an episode of Codice — La vita è digitale to biohacking, interviewing Fabio Pietrosanti about the Hacking Biology protocol and the sixty-plus pills a day it involves.
Rai 1, Italy’s main public television channel, devoted an episode of Codice — La vita è digitale to biohacking on 27 June 2025, and interviewed Fabio Pietrosanti about the Hacking Biology project.
The segment took the practice seriously rather than as a curiosity: what biohacking actually is, why someone would apply an engineering habit of mind to their own biology, and what the Hacking Biology protocol involves in daily practice — including the sixty-plus pills a day, the schedule that keeps them straight, and the biomarker panels that decide whether any of it is working.
That number is usually where an interview stops being about longevity and starts being about spectacle. Sixty pills is a startling image, and it is a fair one to show. But the protocol is not the pills; the protocol is the measurement around them — the panels that say which of those compounds earn their place and which are quietly doing nothing, on a schedule strict enough that the answer means something.
The episode reached the general public in Italy at a moment when longevity is discussed mostly through Silicon Valley figures. Showing an Italian hacker running a documented, measured protocol on himself — and publishing the results, including the disappointing ones — puts a different and more useful example into that conversation.
The full episode is on RaiPlay . The protocol it describes is documented on the blog , and biohack.it is the platform being built so that the same discipline is available to people who are not willing to build their own spreadsheet first.
