Dave Asprey┃From Survival to Human Upgrade: How Personalized Biohacking Can Transform Energy and Longevity

What if aging, energy, and performance are more programmable than we’ve been taught to believe?

In this conversation, Fleet sits down with Dave Asprey, widely recognized as the father of biohacking, to explore the future of longevity, human performance, and personalized health. Dave shares how his own struggles with obesity, chronic fatigue, and brain fog led him into decades of self-experimentation—and ultimately helped launch the biohacking movement.

Together, they explore mitochondrial health, gene therapy, cognitive resilience, personalized testing, and Dave’s evolving definition of biohacking as the ability to intentionally change your state. Dave also explains why one-size-fits-all health advice doesn’t work and why the future of biohacking will be deeply personalized to your biology and goals.
