Some biohacking gets sold as a shortcut, hacking the right levers and you'll coast to 180. But the most important thing learned in a lifetime of measuring everything is the one thing that never shows up on a blood panel.
I sat down with Dave Asprey, the entrepreneur who named and organized "biohacking," founder of Bulletproof, Danger Coffee, Upgrade Labs, and 40 Years of Zen, and four-time New York Times bestselling author. Join me to talk about what it really takes to build a body and mind that holds up for the long run. We move from data-driven protocols to the parts most people skip: parenting without reactivity, forgiveness, surrender, and knowing when your intuition is telling you something your spreadsheet can't. Dave opens up about his autism diagnosis, losing a $100M business, and why he believes mitochondrial function shapes not just your energy but your capacity to think clearly and connect. Whether you're a parent, a founder, or just trying to stay sharp as the years add up, this one frames longevity around your character, not only your bloodwork.
What we explore:
- How to raise resilient kids by modeling non-reactivity and clear boundaries.
- Why intuition-first decisions, validated by data, beat leading with data alone.
- What surrender really means, and the lesson behind a $100M loss.
- How mitochondrial function connects energy to focus, mood, and clear thinking.
- Why deliberate discomfort is an underrated tool for building durability at any age.
