Today, I’m incredibly honored to welcome Dave Asprey, an entrepreneur widely recognized as the Father of Biohacking. Dave's groundbreaking work in health science, alongside his passion for expanding the possibilities of human performance, have not only created thriving industries but also revolutionized our approach to personal wellbeing.

Dave is not just the mastermind behind coffee brands Bulletproof and Danger Coffee, but also a four-time New York Times bestselling author, including his most recent book, Super Human.

He has dedicated his life to exploring how biohacking can enhance our body's function and our mental clarity. His recent projects, Upgrade Labs and the 40 Years of Zen program, represent a remarkable fusion of neuroscience, nutrition, and neurofeedback, offering profound insights into enhancing mental health through biohacking techniques.

In this conversation, Dave explains the core of what biohacking really is and how mitochondria run the show. We talk about how biohacking can help us manage and heal from chronic stress and trauma, and how community and forgiveness play crucial roles in our mental health journey.

Dave shares his perspectives on Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), a tool for healing emotional wounds, and how these approaches have impacted his personal health journey.

We also get his top tips for beginners who are interested in biohacking, including free ways to improve your sleep and which supplements make the most impact on your health and longevity. Tune in to hear how mental health and biohacking are intertwined and give us the tools we need to thrive from the inside out!
