The government is finally catching up to what biohackers have known for decades, and the man helping lead that charge just sat down with Host Dave Asprey to talk longevity science, aging biomarkers, dietary overhaul, AI in medicine, and what a real science-first health agenda actually looks like.
My favorite creatine (discount code DAVETUBE): Creatine isn’t just for bodybuilders. It’s one of the most overlooked, science-backed nootropics for brain optimization, neuroplasticity, mitochondrial energy, and total human performance.

Frog venom burns your skin, makes you purge, and might be the most powerful healing tool you have never tried.
I spent over $2 million hacking my own biology to reverse my age, but one of the most powerful discoveries didn’t come from a pharmaceutical lab. It came from NASA.
Your home could be quietly stealing your IQ, disrupting your hormones, destroying your mitochondria, and triggering chronic disease, and most people never connect the dots.
Autism is reversible, and the science to prove it already exists.
Most people buying "clean" supplements are unknowingly loading their bodies with heavy metals, rancid fish oil, and glyphosate, even inside products labeled organic and healthy.
Try TrueDark (with my discount): I have spent 20 years and over $2 million testing my biology, and the biggest lesson I've learned is that sleep is a neurological system, not just a chemical one.
Your brain is hardware, and if the hardware is broken, no supplement stack, nootropic, or biohacking protocol in the world will get you to full capacity.
What if the real reason you feel stuck, anxious, or unfulfilled has nothing to do with your biohacking stack and everything to do with which half of your brain you're actually using?
Your gut microbiome controls your brain chemistry, your stress response, your sleep, your metabolism, and your ability to lose weight, and most people have no idea how broken theirs actually is.
Try TrueDark (with my discount): I transformed my vision from 20/80 to 20/15 by stopping the "management of decline" and starting the "restoration of tissue".
This week's stories: *SNL Roasts the MAHA Movement Saturday Night Live took direct aim at RFK-adjacent anti-vaccine culture in a sketch that lampoons raw milk, bull semen, energy healers, and "natural immunity" rhetoric — and it landed with a mainstream audience.
Your thyroid controls your energy, your metabolism, your testosterone, your mood, and your ability to think clearly. Most doctors are testing it wrong and treating it wrong, and this episode tells you exactly what to do instead.
What if a glowing pyramid sitting in your living room could restructure your biology, compress decades of meditation into minutes, and shift your brain into an altered state without drugs, breathwork, or effort?
Is aging an inevitable decline, or just a "repair backlog" your body hasn't cleared yet?. In this episode, Dave breaks down the 2016 Nobel Prize-winning science of autophagy—the body's internal recycling system discovered by Dr. Yoshinori Ohsumi.
This week’s stories: Smartphone App Catches What Sleep Trackers Miss A 2026 trial found that suvorexant, a popular prescription sleep drug, improves sleep quality scores — but worsens morning alertness and cognitive function while improving afternoon and evening performance.

What if understanding how AI thinks could reveal uncomfortable truths about how your own brain works, and give you powerful tools to make smarter decisions, resist manipulation, and upgrade your cognition at the root level?
Block toxic light with these glasses: Think 8 hours of sleep is enough? Think again. I used to think I had a sleep issue—turns out, it was a light issue. In this video, I break down why light exposure, not just sleep duration, controls your circadian rhythm, energy, and recovery.
This week’s stories: Healthy Diets That Offset "Bad Genes" A major UK Biobank study of over 100,000 people found that following any one of five healthy dietary patterns was associated with up to 3 extra years of life — and the benefit held regardless of genetic predisposition to longevity.
Microplastics are invading your brain, blood, hormones, and fat tissue, and most people have no idea how deep the damage goes.
Most doctors treat the average patient. But you are not average, and this episode gives you the precision medicine blueprint to treat yourself like the individual you are, using multi-omic testing, biohacking technology, and longevity science to optimize every layer of your biology.
