Dave Asprey believes the future of longevity is arriving much faster than most people realize. He explains why personalized medicine, gene therapies, AI, and biohacking could fundamentally change how we age, and why simply extending healthspan isn't an ambitious enough goal.
From peptides and GLP-1 drugs to creatine, sleep, brain optimization, and nutrition, Dave challenges conventional wisdom on nearly every aspect of health. He argues that the future of medicine won't be based on population averages, but on personalized interventions tailored to each individual's biology.
He also shares why biohacking became a global movement, why embracing calculated risk is essential for progress, and why the biggest breakthrough in longevity may come from giving people greater control over their own health decisions.
Dave Asprey is an entrepreneur, author, and the founder of the biohacking movement. He is the creator of Danger Coffee, a multiple-time bestselling author, and one of the world's leading voices on longevity, cognitive performance, and human optimization.
