Hearing stories of what God has done for others can be incredibly inspiring. But that leads to an important question—what has He done for you lately? Dr. Tony Evans presents a powerful message on building an intimate relationship with God.
What if the line between “medicine” and “forbidden” has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with permission? This episode gives you a clear framework for understanding peptides, research chemicals, and performance enhancement so you can think for yourself instead of outsourcing your biology Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dylan Gemelli for a candid, unfiltered conversation about the underground world of biohacking, research chemicals, and human performance. Dylan is a long-time biohacker, educator, and researcher who came out of the bodybuilding world and spent more than a decade studying peptides, SARMs, nootropics, and gray-area compounds. He brings first-hand experience, deep research literacy, and a rare ability to explain what these compounds actually do, where the risks are, and why most doctors will never talk about them. Together, they unpack what “research chemicals” really means, why peptides technically fall into that category, and how legality often has little to do with biological reality. They explore compounds like MK-677, S4, and other SARMs, how they interact with growth hormone, muscle, strength, and recovery, and why some of these tools can be more powerful than peptides when used with intention and restraint. Dave also shares his own experiences rebuilding his health using underground tools, why he refuses to ask for permission to take care of his body, and how performance enhancement fits into longevity, metabolism, and real-world function. You'll Learn: • What research chemicals actually are and why peptides fall into that category • How compounds like MK-677 stimulate growth hormone and affect muscle and recovery • Why SARMs differ from steroids and where the real risks come from • The difference between tobacco and nicotine and why low-dose nicotine can support brain optimization • How performance enhancement fits into longevity, metabolism, and functional medicine thinking • Why strength and neurological drive matter more than size alone • How to think clearly about supplements, nootropics, and biohacking tools without fear or hype • Why taking responsibility for your biology is not cheating Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Why Comfort is Slowly Killing You—And the Ancient Mismatch Making You Sick How modern life has turned us into zoo animals—and the simple stress strategy our ancestors used to stay strong, lean, and disease-free. Over the past five weeks, I’ve given you my perspective on the biohacking and longevity scene. I’ve noted the emptiness and time-wasting that can result from the vain pursuit of immortality so often seen in the “advanced” health optimization world (if you missed any of my articles, you can read them here). Episode Summary In this episode, I dive into why chasing biohacking gadgets and anti-aging protocols misses the bigger picture: we're living in an environment our biology was never designed for. I'll reveal the concept of "ancestral mismatch"—how our caveman bodies struggle in our temperature-controlled, food-abundant, movement-starved modern world—and show you how strategic doses of discomfort (hormetic stress) can reverse chronic disease. This isn't about becoming a caveman; it's about getting the basics right that actually move the needle. Question of the Day

287: I'm joined by Dr. Daniel Pompa, health coach, author, and founder of the Pompa Program, to break down the truth about intermittent fasting, cellular detox, and inflammation. We explore how fasting actually works at the cellular level, what a real feast day looks like, and how toxins, seed oils, and even dental issues can drive chronic inflammation (and bigger health issues down the line). Dr. Pompa also shares how mercury poisoning reshaped his approach to health and why cholesterol is so misunderstood. If you're doing all the “right” things but still feel off, this episode connects the dots. Topics Discussed: → Is intermittent fasting good or bad for health? → How does cellular detox reduce inflammation? → What causes the “skinny fat” look even in healthy people? → Can heavy metals and environmental toxins damage mitochondria? → Is elevated LDL cholesterol actually bad for your health?

Today I'm joined by Professor Valter Longo to unpack what actually slows biological ageing, and what most women are getting wrong about fasting, protein, and diet. We explore the difference between chronological age and biological age, how biological ageing is measured, and why chasing extreme fasting or high-protein trends may quietly undermine long-term health. Professor Longo shares decades of research behind the Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD), explains why most popular fasting protocols may increase cardiovascular risk, and outlines the dietary patterns consistently linked to the world's longest-living populations. This conversation cuts through longevity hype with evidence from human trials, centenarian studies, and 100 years of ageing research, offering a grounded, practical framework for improving healthspan without extremes. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN • The real difference between chronological age and biological age – and how it's measured • Why blood biomarkers may be more reliable than epigenetic ageing clocks right now • What organ-specific ageing clocks reveal about hidden health risks • How long it actually takes to activate meaningful autophagy in humans • Why most intermittent fasting protocols may increase heart disease risk • The science behind the 5-day Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD) • FMD vs water fasting: gut health, muscle preservation, and safety • Why skipping breakfast is linked to higher cardiovascular mortality • The optimal daily eating window for longevity (and why 12 hours matters) • How often to use FMD for longevity, metabolic health, and disease prevention • Why excess protein may accelerate ageing and disease risk • How much protein humans actually need for longevity • The ideal macronutrient balance for healthspan and lifespan • How nutrition consistently outperforms exercise for lifespan extension • Practical longevity habits around sleep, stress, and lifestyle timing Timestamps 00:00 Intro: Biological Age vs Chronological Age 04:03 Organ-Specific Ageing: Why One Age Score Can Be Misleading 06:15 Autophagy Explained: How Long It Really Takes in Humans 08:59 The Longevity Diet & Fasting Mimicking Diet Explained 11:26 Why Most Fasting Protocols May Be Harmful Long-Term 16:58 Skipping Breakfast, Cholesterol & Heart Disease Risk 18:36 Water Fasting vs FMD: Gut Health, Microbiome & Muscle Loss 35:03 Protein Intake Myths: Muscle, Ageing & Disease Risk 42:46 Sleep, Stress & Lifestyle Factors That Extend Healthspan VALUABLE RESOURCES A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible: • MitoQ NAD+
Your muscles play a far bigger role in aging than most people realize. As you get older, the energy factories inside your muscle cells begin to break down and stop getting replaced, leading to fatigue, weakness, and slower recovery even if you stay active.This video explains how that decline happens, why it accelerates after midlife, and what actually restores cellular energy instead of just masking the symptoms.By understanding how muscle health, energy production, and recovery are biologically connected, you can rebuild strength, improve endurance, and slow the aging process from the inside out.Chapters0:00 - Intro: The Youth Switch0:53 - Why Muscles Are Your Fountain of Youth2:26 - Mitophagy: Your Body's Cleaning System4:01 - The Secret Compound: Urolithin A6:30 - The Solution: MitoPure8:34 - The Complete System9:56 - Closing ThoughtsThank you to our sponsors!

This episode covers: • Longevity Influence In The Epstein Files A new DOJ document release tied to the Epstein investigation pulled physician and longevity influencer Peter Attia into the spotlight, after reports showed he appeared in the files more than 1,800 times and CBS News pulled a planned rebroadcast of its 60 Minutes profile. Dave breaks down why this story matters beyond headlines: longevity relies heavily on trust, authority, and influence, and when those foundations are shaken it exposes how fragile centralized expertise can be. He explains how biohackers can protect themselves by diversifying information sources, understanding mechanisms instead of personalities, and building health strategies that don't collapse when one voice disappears. • Source: https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/cbs-news-pulls-peter-attia-60-minutes-segment-epstein-1236650930/ • Age-Reversal Gene Therapy Enters Human Trials Life Biosciences received FDA authorization to begin the first U.S. human trial of a partial epigenetic reprogramming gene therapy in the eye, using three Yamanaka factors to restore function in damaged retinal cells. Dave explains why eyes are the ideal first testing ground, what partial reprogramming actually means, and why this marks a shift from longevity theory into real clinical testing. He also clarifies what success would and would not mean for whole-body rejuvenation, and how to separate legitimate gene-therapy advances from consumer products that only claim to affect biological age. • Source: https://fortune.com/2026/01/30/billionaires-longevity-aging-fda-human-clinical-trial-life-biosciences/ • Continuous Ketone Monitoring Moves Toward Reality Wearable continuous ketone monitoring is advancing beyond finger-stick meters, with companies adapting the same model that made continuous glucose monitors mainstream. Dave explains why this is a major upgrade for metabolic flexibility, keto diets, fasting, and diabetes risk management. He breaks down how real-time ketone data can reveal patterns missed by spot checks, and why biohackers should think ahead about data ownership, integration, and how ketone signals interact with glucose, sleep, stress, and training. • Source: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/global-market-blood-ketone-meters-140900796.html • Injectable, Wireless Brain Implants Without Surgery Researchers are developing nano-scale, wireless brain implants capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier without open surgery, opening the door to a new class of neural interfaces. Dave connects this research to other circuit-level interventions like sound and light stimulation, explaining the broader shift from targeting molecules to tuning brain networks. He also addresses the ethical risks, including consent, privacy, and neuro-surveillance, and why biohackers should track this space early rather than after it becomes normalized. • Source: https://longevity.technology/unlocked/longevity-news-roundup-week-5-2026/ • Generic GLP-1 Drugs Could Reshape Global Metabolic Health India's Sun Pharma is preparing to launch a generic semaglutide-style injectable as patent protections expire, signaling a major price drop and access expansion for GLP-1 drugs. Dave explains why this could transform obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease management worldwide, while also highlighting the risks of muscle loss and metabolic weakness if these drugs are used without proper training and nutrition. He shares how biohackers should think about stacking GLP-1s intelligently, with resistance training, protein intake, and long-term maintenance strategies. • Source: https://longevity.technology/unlocked/longevity-news-roundup-week-5-2026/ All source links are provided for direct access to the original reporting and research. This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity seekers, and high-performance listeners who want clear thinking in a noisy health landscape.

It's Day 19 of the fast, the stretch where momentum fades and commitment matters most. Pastors Josh and Nicole talk about finishing strong and unpack powerful moments from the Book of Daniel where fasting led to clarity, favor, and breakthrough. If you're tired or tempted to slow down, this episode will encourage you to press in and not quit before the miracle.
Navigating life can sometimes feel like driving a car without windows—uncertain where we are and fearful of what lies ahead. That sense of desperation will lead people to seek direction from just about anyone. But Dr. Tony Evans reminds us there's only one truly reliable source of guidance.
18-year-olds wake up fresh because their repair system still works. This episode shows you how stem cell decline quietly drives fatigue, inflammation, and faster aging, and how fasting can reactivate your body's natural ability to repair itself without expensive stem cell procedures. Grab a generous 30% discount on any STEMREGEN product with: http://stemregen.co/dave30 Dave Asprey sits down with Christian Drapeau, a neuroscientist trained at McGill University and a leading researcher in stem cell science. Christian pioneered a therapeutic approach called Endogenous Stem Cell Mobilization, authored the bestselling book Cracking the Stem Cell Code, and developed the concept of stem cell enhancement. He is the Founder and CSO of STEMREGEN, where his work focuses on helping the body release and use its own stem cells more effectively. Together, they break down why many injected stem cells never survive long enough to help, how the lungs trap a large percentage of IV stem cells, and why releasing your own stem cells into arterial circulation changes the outcome. They explore stem cell decline as a core driver of aging, tissue degeneration, and chronic inflammation, and explain why fasting is currently the only intervention shown to rejuvenate stem cells through autophagy. You'll hear why a three-day fast has measurable effects on bone marrow aging, how stem cells act as signaling molecules that coordinate repair across the body, and why mitochondria play a massive and underappreciated role in stem cell renewal and tissue regeneration. The conversation also covers scar tissue, fibrosis, recovery from injury, and why healing quality matters just as much as healing speed. You'll Learn: • Why stem cell decline, not simple wear and tear, drives aging • How fasting supports stem cell rejuvenation through autophagy • Why many injected stem cells die in the lungs before helping tissue • How releasing your own stem cells differs from IV stem cell therapy • Why mitochondria are central to stem cell function and repair • How scar tissue and fibrosis form when repair fails • Why recovery quality determines long-term resilience and longevity Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Navigating life can sometimes feel like driving a car without windows—uncertain where we are and fearful of what lies ahead. That sense of desperation will lead people to seek direction from just about anyone. But Dr. Tony Evans reminds us there's only one truly reliable source of guidance.
What if recovery didn't have to mean pushing harder—or going under the needle? In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sayan explores how healing can become more intelligent, less invasive, and more aligned with the body's natural repair systems. Joining him is Dr. Tommy Rhee, who breaks down recovery vs. overtraining, why “push through pain” backfires, and how next-gen regenerative signaling may support longevity, mental resilience, and trust in the healing process—without aggressive intervention. About the Guest: Dr. Tommy Rhee is a sports chiropractor, author, and practitioner focused on cell-free regenerative medicine and performance recovery. He has experience spanning elite athletics, clinical work, and military service. Key Takeaways: Recovery is as essential as training—overtraining can drive chronic injury. “Aggressive recovery” can worsen compromised tissue; strategic rest matters. Regenerative medicine focuses on signals that support tissue repair. Non-invasive topical delivery may reduce risks tied to injections. Physical healing impacts mood and identity—mind, body, and purpose interact. Fasting may help some people reset habits, but approach it thoughtfully.

What do you do when your spiritual life hits the wall?Pastor Mitchell uses the imagery of endurance athletes, marathon runners, and “Heartbreak Hill” to explain why many believers stall spiritually and how Scripture shows us the way forward.The Apostle Paul compares the Christian life to a race that requires discipline, restraint, and intentional sacrifice. This sermon explores fasting, self control, and physical discipline as biblical tools God uses to unlock spiritual authority, clarity, and breakthrough.From Esther's national fast to Jesus' wilderness victory, from the early church to Paul's own ministry, Scripture consistently shows a pattern: physical obedience releases spiritual power.If you're tired, stalled, or stuck at the same level year after year, this message will challenge you to run differently.Scriptures referenced include 1 Corinthians 9, Esther 4, Matthew 17, Ezra 8, Luke 4, Acts 9, Acts 10, and Acts 13.Chapters00:00 Introduction and New Year Reflections02:31 The Spiritual and Physical Connection in Sports05:21 Discipline of the Body and Spiritual Growth08:42 Fasting: A Physical Action with Spiritual Results11:33 Biblical Examples of Fasting and Prayer14:48 The Role of Fasting in Ministry and Decision Making17:41 The Mental Dimension of Fasting20:39 Jesus' Teachings on Fasting23:36 The Impact of Fasting on the Church26:41 Conclusion: Seeking the Next Level Through FastingShow NotesALL PROCEEDS GO TO WORLD EVANGELISMLocate a CFM Church near you: https://cfmmap.orgWe need five-star reviews!

STOP intermittent fasting if you think it automatically keeps you young. In this episode, you'll learn why short-term fasting results can mislead long-term aging outcomes, and how duration, frequency, refeeding, and protein intake determine whether fasting supports longevity or quietly accelerates decline. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Valter Longo, one of the world's leading longevity researchers with over 30 years of experience studying aging, nutrition, and disease prevention. Dr. Longo is the Director of the Longevity Institute at the University of Southern California's Leonard Davis School of Gerontology and the Director of the Longevity and Cancer Program at IFOM, the Italian Foundation for Cancer Research Institute of Molecular Oncology in Milan. He is the author of the bestselling book The Longevity Diet and was named one of TIME Magazine's 50 most influential people in health care for his research on fasting-mimicking diets. Together, Dave Asprey and Dr. Longo explain why many people focus too heavily on short-term effects and extrapolate them incorrectly across a lifetime. They break down how intermittent fasting differs biologically from multi-day fasting, why five-day fasting cycles trigger deeper cellular changes, and how insulin, IGF-1, mTOR, and growth hormone shape aging, regeneration, and disease risk over time. The conversation covers protein and amino acid intake, muscle preservation, frailty risk, and the tradeoffs between strength, function, and longevity. They explore ketosis, fasting-mimicking diets, stem cell activation, mitochondrial function, neuroplasticity, and why equilibrium and cycling matter more than constant restriction. Dave and Valter also discuss supplements, nootropics, creatine, carnivore-style eating, metabolism, sleep optimization, and how AI may eventually personalize fasting and nutrition based on individual biology rather than population averages. You'll learn: • Why short-term fasting benefits do not predict long-term longevity • How fasting duration changes gene expression and cellular regeneration • The difference between intermittent fasting and multi-day fasting • How protein and amino acids influence mTOR, IGF-1, and aging • Why muscle, strength, and longevity must be balanced, not maximized • When ketosis overlaps with fasting and when it does not • Why supplements can disrupt biological equilibrium • How AI could support future personalization in fasting and nutrition Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

In this Q&A episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling tackle real listener challenges that many fasters face on their journey. They address breaking through the stubborn 24-hour fasting barrier with strategic meal timing adjustments that make extending fasts feel natural rather than forced. The hosts provide practical solutions for managing salt sensitivity and gout while maintaining adequate protein intake, offering specific product recommendations and alternative mineral strategies. They celebrate a listener's incredible success with 72-hour weekly fasts while exploring why some people thrive with longer fasts and others don't. The episode wraps up with compassionate guidance on overcoming fasting fatigue and mental resistance, emphasizing the importance of returning to what was working previously rather than forcing stricter protocols that feel unmotivating.

You don't have a willpower problem. You have an insulin problem. In this episode, Ben Azadi breaks down nine foods commonly marketed as “healthy” that are secretly spiking insulin, blocking fat burning, and keeping belly fat stuck, even if you're eating clean or cutting calories. You'll learn why fat loss is driven by hormones, not calories, and how insulin shuts down your body's ability to burn stored fat. Ben explains how foods like whole wheat bread, fruit juice, instant oatmeal, protein bars, low-fat yogurt, almond milk, agave, granola, and whole grain cereal can all create metabolic gridlock. More importantly, he shares simple food swaps that lower insulin faster than fasting, reduce cravings, stabilize energy, and restore metabolic flexibility. This episode also challenges the calories-in vs calories-out myth, explains why food quality matters more than calorie counting, and reinforces a core truth of metabolic health: you don't lose weight to get healthy, you get healthy to lose weight. You'll also hear about: How insulin locks fat storage in place Why fructose targets the liver and increases visceral fat The role of inflammation in stubborn weight gain Why breakfast sets your fat-burning or fat-storing mode for the day Simple swaps that can flatten your belly within a week

As our church concludes 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, we pause to do something essential before moving forward: remember Jesus. In this message, we look at Acts 2 and 1 Corinthians 11 to rediscover the heart of communion not as routine or ritual, but as a sacred act of devotion that shapes how we live, love, and stay anchored to Christ beyond the fast. This teaching challenges us to resist overindulgence, reject status and division, and return to the simplicity of the gospel. Communion becomes a reminder that the ground is level at the cross, that Jesus alone satisfies, and that remembering Him is the key to staying surrendered, humble, and spiritually nourished long after the fast ends.

Step into Episode 197 of On The Delo as Delo sits down with chef Beau MacMillan for an unflinching conversation about what happens when 30 years of grinding finally collide with reality.Beau has lived the highlights—celebrity chef status, Iron Chef wins, cooking for Steven Tyler, Jerry Bruckheimer, Adam Sandler, and building Sanctuary into a 23-year Arizona institution. What often goes untold is what happens when validation, recognition, and performance stop being enough.Now over 50, Beau describes feeling mentally 19 and physically 76. Decades of 14-hour days, seven-day weeks, and constant pressure caught up to him. The shift began when his wife, after prioritizing her own health, told him plainly: “We've got all these kids, and they need us. I want you to be around.This episode doesn't start with résumés or origin stories. It starts with reckoning.Beau opens up about quitting smoking after a lifetime of loving cigarettes, going alcohol-free in an industry built around booze, and rebuilding his health incrementally so he can actually be present for his wife and five kids. The yacht chapter—cooking in the Caribbean, losing 75–80 pounds, fasting, and learning to eat for fuel instead of numbing—became the baseline he's been trying to return to ever since.But this conversation goes beyond personal health. It confronts the brutal reality of hospitality: stress is the root cause, and substances, food, and dopamine become coping mechanisms when the pressure never stops. Beau reflects on thriving in chaos, the rush of 350-cover nights, and how the same wiring that made him great also made him numb.Leadership and legacy take center stage as Beau challenges industry norms—calling for clean, organized, desirable kitchens, real mentorship, and cultures where people stay because they know they matter.

Most of us want God to meet our needs—but often wait to act until we see His provision. Dr. Tony Evans tells the powerful story of a widow who experienced God's faithfulness only after stepping out in obedience.
In the late 1990s, a strange carbon molecule quietly delivered the single longest lifespan extension ever recorded in mammals. The rats lived about 90% longer, and almost no one was paying attention. This episode breaks down what that molecule is, why it works, and how it may upgrade mitochondria, sleep, and human performance when used correctly. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Chris Burres, founder and chief scientist of MyVitalC and the original long-term manufacturer of carbon 60. Chris has produced this Nobel Prize–winning molecule since the early 1990s, supplying research institutions around the world years before it ever entered the biohacking space. He explains how carbon 60 behaves differently from traditional antioxidants, why stability and concentration used to be major problems, and how modern manufacturing finally made real-world use possible. Chris is also a published author, longevity summit host, patent holder, and longtime science communicator who brings rare clarity and humor to complex biology. Dave and Chris explore how carbon 60 interacts with mitochondria, oxidative stress, metabolism, and electrical signaling in the body, and where it fits alongside ketosis, nootropics, supplements, and functional medicine strategies. They also unpack why improving mitochondrial function often shows up first as better energy and sleep optimization, and how that foundation supports longevity, brain optimization, and Smarter Not Harder performance. Along the way, Dave shares his own early experience with C60, how he uses it today, and why it now shows up even in his Danger Coffee stack. You'll Learn: • Why carbon 60 produced the longest longevity result ever recorded in mammal studies • How mitochondrial efficiency shapes energy, sleep, and human performance • What makes C60 a selective antioxidant instead of a blunt one • Why purity, concentration, and stability determine whether a supplement works • How carbon 60 fits into biohacking stacks built around ketosis and metabolism • What users report first, from focus and resilience to deeper sleep • Why mitochondrial health underpins long-term anti-aging strategies • How to think about supplements through a Smarter Not Harder lens Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Aging is not something Zoltan Istvan plans to accept quietly. He wants to treat death like a technical bug, rewrite the rules of biology, and turn California into the global test bed for radical human upgrades. From cyborg implants to AI driven longevity science, this episode explores what happens when a candidate for governor openly argues that humans should evolve beyond their biological limits and take control of how long and how well they live. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Zoltan Istvan, a leading transhumanist, futurist, longevity advocate, and current candidate for Governor of California. Zoltan has spoken at Parliaments and Senates around the world, appeared on The Joe Rogan Experience, consulted for the US Armed Forces, and served as a correspondent for The New York Times. He has addressed the World Bank, the World Economic Forum, and the UK Parliament, and his work has influenced world leaders while shaping global conversations on AI, liberty, and human enhancement. Trained in philosophy and ethics at Columbia University and the University of Oxford, Zoltan brings rare depth to the intersection of technology, biology, and governance. Together, they explore whether aging should be classified as a disease, why regulation is slowing breakthroughs in longevity science, and how California could become ground zero for anti-aging innovation. They debate biology versus machine integration, open source technology versus centralized control, and what morphological freedom really means when enhancement technologies move faster than policy. The discussion spans mitochondria, neuroplasticity, brain optimization, stem cells, organ printing, implants, and the ethical risks of surveillance, algorithmic persuasion, and unchecked AI. This episode is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, hacking human performance, longevity, metabolism, functional medicine, anti-aging strategies, supplements, nootropics, ketosis, fasting, carnivore frameworks, sleep optimization, and living Smarter Not Harder in a world increasingly shaped by AI and technology, ideally with a cup of Danger Coffee in hand. You'll Learn: • Why aging may be a solvable problem rather than an unavoidable fate • How politics and regulation influence access to longevity and anti-aging therapies • The real tradeoffs between biological upgrades and machine integration • Why mitochondria, neuroplasticity, and brain optimization matter in human enhancement • How AI and surveillance technology threaten cognitive and biological autonomy • What morphological freedom means for the future of medicine and personal choice • Why open source approaches to biohacking could protect liberty and innovation • How Smarter Not Harder strategies support longevity in a rapidly evolving world Dave Asprey is a four time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.
