Host Dave Asprey talks with Rowena Gates, co-founder of NanoVi, a therapeutic device backed by biophysics research that supports protein repair and mitochondrial communication. Her work reveals how structured water inside your cells drives neuroplasticity, cellular regeneration, and stress resilience—offering a new pathway to recovery, energy, and longevity.

You’ll learn how structured water affects mitochondrial efficiency, how it compares to recovery methods like cold therapy and fasting, and why improved VO₂ max may correlate with a longer lifespan. Dave and Rowena also explore how NanoVi stacks with supplements, nootropics, ketosis, and functional medicine to enhance brain optimization, metabolism, and human performance.

You’ll Learn:

• How structured water boosts mitochondrial function and VO₂ max

• The difference between hydration and energized cellular water

• What happens to your brain and heart rate variability in 20 minutes of NanoVi use

• The link between water structure, protein repair, and recovery

• How biohackers combine NanoVi with fasting, cold therapy, and sleep optimization for faster results

• Why stronger mitochondrial communication can extend lifespan and upgrade cognitive function

They explore how structured water, mitochondrial repair, and recovery science intersect to create a smarter approach to health and longevity. You’ll also learn how optimizing cellular communication, oxygen efficiency, and stress resilience can accelerate healing, improve focus, and extend lifespan.

This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, human performance, and longevity, and for those who want to understand how functional biology and mitochondrial science are redefining recovery, energy, and aging.
