107 min • 27 januari 2025

This week, I’m joined by the father of biohacking, Dave Asprey. The pioneer behind the global movement that has transformed the way people optimise their health and performance. With decades of experience in biohacking, Dave has authored multiple bestsellers and founded companies that have redefined wellness, longevity, and cognitive enhancement.

In this episode, Dave shares his personal journey to optimised health, revealing how he lost 100 pounds, overcame chronic health issues, and built a lifestyle that enhances both mental and physical performance. We explore the fundamentals of biohacking, from AI-driven strength training to the science of caffeine optimisation and the critical role of heart rate variability in achieving peak performance. Dave also breaks down popular wellness trends, tackling topics like the impact of hormonal health, the truth about supplements, and the evolving landscape of modern nutrition. Whether it’s uncovering the potential of mouth taping for better sleep, exploring the latest in light therapy for hair health, or navigating the micro-plastic crisis, Dave offers practical insights to help listeners take control of their biology.
