The Biohacker’s Guide to CIA Mind Control & Brainwashing : 1283

What if a laser could help a child speak for the first time—or reverse an “incurable” brain condition? In this episode of The Human Upgrade, Dave Asprey talks with Dr. Brandon Crawford, a leading neurotherapist and founder of 528 Innovations, about the emerging science of laser therapy for the brain and body. You’ll learn how light—when precisely pulsed and targeted—can rewire brainwaves, heal trauma, and even influence states of consciousness. Dr. Crawford explains how specific laser frequencies are being used to modulate brain states, activate the vagus nerve, improve mood, restore gut-brain communication, and support recovery from conditions like autism and ALS. From EEG shifts to structured water and mitochondrial signaling, this conversation dives deep into biohacking’s most advanced light-based tech. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • How laser therapy rewires brainwaves for mood, focus, and clarity • The exact brain regions linked to embodiment, intuition, and flow • Why pulsing patterns matter more than power in laser tech • How light influences trauma recovery and vagus nerve activation • The role of structured water and infrared light in cellular repair • How patients with ALS and autism responded to 528 protocols ** Get 30% off GA Virtual Tickets for the Biohacking Conference this May with code ‘528i30’ at checkout! ** THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS! -Timeline | Head to https://www.timeline.com/dave to get 10% off your first order. -LMNT | Free LMNT Sample Pack with any drink mix purchase by going to https://drinklmnt.com/DAVE.

What if mitochondria weren’t just energy engines — but conscious beings guiding your survival and evolution? In this episode, Dave Asprey sits down with Zach Bush, MD, to uncover a radical new science of cellular intelligence. Together, they reveal how your mitochondria, microbiome, and genetic memory do far more than support survival—they actively shape consciousness, drive healing, and accelerate human evolution. You’ll discover why chronic disease, fatigue, brain fog, and emotional trauma often trace back to lost cellular communication—and how restoring that network can unlock radical resilience, deeper energy, and true longevity. Through the lens of soil health, vibrational biology, light frequencies, and ancient microbial wisdom, Zach Bush shows why the future of biohacking demands reconnection to the deeper intelligence already alive inside you. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • How mitochondria act as conscious messengers—not just energy factories—and why that changes everything about health and aging • Why rebuilding gut microbiome intelligence strengthens immune function, brain health, and emotional resilience • How disrupted cellular communication fuels chronic inflammation, autoimmune disease, and premature aging • How emotional trauma imprints onto genetic expression and triggers mitochondrial collapse • Why viruses and bacteria serve as evolutionary partners—not enemies—and how they upgrade your biology • How “cellular safety” activates healing, regeneration, and peak human performance • How carbon cycles, soil health, and light frequencies repair DNA and extend human lifespan • Simple daily practices that rebuild cellular coherence, boost energy, and reconnect you to your innate intelligence This conversation will rewire how you think about health, disease, and human potential—giving you the tools to upgrade your biology at the deepest level. **Check out Zach's exclusive offer for The Human Upgrade listeners at https://intelligenceofnature.com/ and use code ‘DAVE10” for a discount!** SPONSORS - ARMRA | Go to https://tryarmra.com/ and use the code DAVE to get 15% off your first order. - Apollo Neuro | To get an Apollo wearable, go to https://apolloneuro.com/Dave and save 15%.

If your brain feels foggy, your mood swings like a pendulum, or your cravings seem to control you—this episode will flip what you think you know about your body and your mind. Because what if your thoughts… aren’t really yours? In this mind-altering episode of The Human Upgrade, Dr. Steven Gundry reveals a startling new theory: your gut microbiome might be controlling your thoughts. From addiction and depression to obesity and inflammation, the microbes living in your gut—bacteria, fungi, viruses, even parasites—may be pulling the strings on your brain chemistry, mood, and behavior. Dave Asprey and Dr. Gundry dive deep into The Gut-Brain Paradox, exposing how the gut-brain axis operates more like a microbial command center than a digestive system. You’ll learn why probiotic pills rarely work, how the wrong microbes can drive compulsive behavior, and how toxic foods, glyphosate, and antibiotics have turned our guts into neurological war zones. Most shocking of all? Microbes may not just influence addiction—they may cause it. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • How your gut microbiome can hijack your brain and influence your thoughts and behavior • Why certain microbes may actually cause addiction, obesity, and depression • How antibiotics, glyphosate, and processed foods are turning your gut into a desert • How to rebuild your gut ecosystem using postbiotics, fermented foods, and precision inputs • Why food cravings might be microbial mind control—and what to do about it • What the latest science reveals about the gut-brain axis, neurotransmitters, and neuroinflammation Sponsors: -Sunlighten | Go to https://www.sunlighten.com/dave/ and enter code DAVE at checkout to save up to $1,400. -Timeline | Head to https://www.timeline.com/dave to get 10% off your first order.

If your hair is thinning, shedding, or simply not what it used to be—and nothing seems to work—this episode is for you. Because what if the story you’ve been told about balding… is wrong? For decades, hair loss has felt like fate: genetic, inevitable, untouchable. But science is catching up to something deeper—something root-level. What if the real culprit behind age-related hair loss is cellular dysfunction? And what if we could change that? In this episode, Dave Asprey uncovers the cellular biology of hair thinning with longevity researcher Carolina Reis Oliveira. You’ll learn how senescent cells (aka zombie cells) hijack your scalp, disrupt follicle function, and silently accelerate hair loss—and how a breakthrough peptide might stop it cold. Carolina reveals brand-new clinical research on OS-01, a molecule shown to increase hair density by 40% in just 6 months. But this isn’t a product pitch—it’s a paradigm shift. Together, they explore the hidden drivers of hair aging, from hormone shifts and stress cascades to microbiome imbalances and inflammation, plus the real science behind what can actually regrow hair. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • How “zombie cells” (senescent cells) sabotage your hair from the inside out • The science behind the OS-01 peptide and how it reverses visible hair thinning • Why thinning hair isn’t just genetic—and what else is driving it • How stress, hormones, and aging collide to trigger follicle dysfunction • What your scalp microbiome has to do with regrowth and hair density • How to stack red light, peptides, and topicals for real, measurable results ***Visit oneskin.co/DAVE and use code DAVE for and additional 15% off.*** Resources: • Dave Asprey’s New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/ • OneSkin Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/oneskin.co/ • OneSkin Website: https://www.oneskin.co/ • 2025 Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.com/2025 • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com • Dave Asprey’s Website: https://daveasprey.com • Dave Asprey’s Linktree: https://linktr.ee/daveasprey • Upgrade Collective – Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live: https://www.ourupgradecollective.com • Own an Upgrade Labs: https://ownanupgradelabs.com • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com • 40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback Training for Advanced Cognitive Enhancement: https://40yearsofzen.com Timestamps: • 00:00 — Trailer • 01:52 — Intro • 02:59 — Is Aging Optional for Your Scalp? • 04:03 — Understanding Scalp and Hair Aging • 05:06 — The Role of Senescent Cells in Hair Loss • 07:25 — Hormonal Influences on Hair Health • 16:10 — Peptide Solutions for Hair Thinning • 18:05 — Clinical Studies and Results • 20:29 — Future of Hair Loss Treatments • 30:16 — Nutritional and Lifestyle Factors • 36:40 — Addressing Senescent Cells and Hair Growth • 37:29 — Minoxidil: Oral vs. Topical Use • 39:32 — Personal Experience with Hair Products • 40:25 — Combining Therapies for Hair Growth • 46:06 — Nutritional Factors in Hair Health • 52:20 — Sun Exposure and Hair Health • 56:40 — Coffee and Hair Growth • 01:00:01 — Launching the New Hair Product See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
