Welcome everyone to the "Entrepreneur Show", as we have special guest, Dave Asprey, who is known as the father of biohacking and is famous for creating bulletproof coffee and hosting the Bulletproof Radio show, which has now been renamed as the Human Upgrade Podcast. He has made significant changes in his life, losing over 100 pounds and reversing his age by more than 20 years through biohacking. As a successful entrepreneur, he has written bestselling books and created billion-dollar consumer product goods categories such as MCT oil and collagen protein. Dave has also founded a new functional coffee company called Danger Coffee. He openly discusses various topics, including health, consciousness, and psychedelics, and shares his personal journey from struggling with health issues to achieving success through hard work and dedication.

So, what is biohacking? Biohacking is the practice of actively changing your environment and biology to take full control of your health and well-being. This includes managing your health, slowing down the aging process, and achieving mental peace by optimizing your body's energy production through environmental adjustments.

Dave shared his personal experience of hitting rock bottom despite his professional success. He recounted a moment when his cognitive function was declining. This realization led him to explore smart drugs and nootropics, as well as seek guidance from longevity doctors. Despite his successful tech career, he ventured into blogging and founded a Consumer Packaged Goods company. Asprey's journey is a testament to addressing personal health and well-being even amid professional success while focusing on wellness and redefining longevity and health. Dave highlights the shift in perspective towards health, emphasizing the significance of having control over one's biology and energy. Health should be a priority, especially for entrepreneurs, as it directly impacts their ability to care for their families and pursue their missions. And, of course, taking care of one's health is essential for preventing illness in the future. 

What started this all? Well, during his studies of meditation in Tibet, he discovered that people often underestimate the importance of prioritizing longevity and health. Ignoring these aspects means operating at only half of one's potential. We discussed using marketing to persuade people of the immediate benefits of prioritizing health and longevity, especially for entrepreneurs. It's about being more present and having more energy in the present moment. Reprogramming all the emotional triggers is possible, but why not regain your energy first? Stop expending energy on thinking about food and dwelling on grudges. Once you've accomplished that, you'll realize that things that seem like major obstacles aren't as daunting. This is an important, cutting-edge strategy for entrepreneurs aiming to build billion-dollar businesses.

Dave also launched an innovative brain upgrade program known as 40 Years of Zen. This program utilizes EEG neurofeedback to reprogram the brains of entrepreneurs, athletes, and celebrities, aiming to enhance their cognitive abilities. Additionally, he created, Upgrade Labs, which is a company that provides biohacking services, leveraging data and technology to optimize health and performance.
