#149: The Business of Biohacking with Da...

Hala Taha | YAP Media
About this episode

Learn how Dave Asprey went from hacking computers to hacking his body!

Dave is the Founder of Bulletproof, a wildly successful coffee, diet, and lifestyle brand. 

He is also a four-time New York Times bestselling author, host of the Webby award-winning podcast Bulletproof Radio, and has been featured on the Today Show, CNN, The New York Times, Dr. Oz, and more.

Over the last two decades, Dave has worked with world-renowned doctors, researchers, and scientists to uncover the most innovative methods for enhancing mental and physical performance. And this leads right into what David is so famous for: being the father of biohacking. Dave has spent millions of dollars to take control of his own biology with the goal of living to be at least 180 years old--- pushing the bounds of human possibility all in the name of science and evolution.

In today’s episode, we cover Dave’s journey to becoming one of the world’s most famous biohackers and how he went from hacking the internet to hacking his body. We’ll learn why Dave thinks humans will start to live well into their hundreds and why he thinks it's ageist to ask people how old they are. Lastly, we’ll go through the health benefits of fasting and learn Dave’s thoughts on the most common fasts out there, like the 16:8 fast and the OMAD (One Meal A Day) fast. 

If you want to learn about biohacking straight from the source of where it all started - you’ve got to tune into this one.
