Hurdle 144. Dave Asprey, Biohacker, Author & Founder of Bulletproof
By now, you've probably heard of Dave Asprey, or at least of the company he founded — Bulletproof 360 (home to The Bulletproof Diet and Bulletproof Coffee). Aside from having those tidbits on his resume, he's also the founder of the biohacking movement. As he defines it, biohacking is the art and science of changing the environment around you and inside of you so you have full control over your own biology. This week, Asprey has a new book out called Fast This Way, and in today's episode he tells me how he got to this point. He talks to me about what life was like when he weighed 300 pounds, Was a computer hacker, and dealing with a slew of health issues including arthritis — which lead him into learning and inventing biohacking. He explains how he started to spend money on getting "better than he ever had been," and what that really looked like.
Now, obviously we address that we don’t all have hundreds of thousands of dollars to hack our own health, so naturally Dave offers some low cost and free examples of small ways we can all safely level up, whether it be through our diet or other practices — like cold showers. We also talk about his impressive career history — how he made a small fortune by the time he was 26 and then lost it when he was 28. Plus: The episode kicks off with a beautiful discussion on the importance of gratitude.
