Dave Asprey Reveals the New Frontier of Biohacking


Listen Later

What if living to 180 isn't about Hacks, but about Healing?

In this conversation, I sit down with my friend Dave Asprey, the godfather of biohacking, to uncover what might be the most important conversation we've ever had on this show. And I don’t say that lightly. You know Dave for pushing the envelope on longevity, nutrition, and performance—but what we got into here, this is the stuff that actually sets you free.


We talk about how every single one of us is born with the capacity for intuition—a gut knowing that transcends logic—and how most of us have let our ego, emotional baggage, and mental chatter completely drown it out. Dave breaks down the five F’s that drive human behavior: Fear, Food, Fertility, Friendship, and Forgiveness—and how forgiveness, more than anything else, gives you energy, peace, and power. “Forgiveness is simply becoming non-reactive to something that was still causing you pain,” Dave says. That line hit me hard.


We also dig into the practical side—because if there’s no strategy, I’m not interested. Dave shares how to train your intuition like a muscle, what happens to your body when you forgive, and why practices like meditation, breathwork, and even brief, intentional exposure to pain (what he calls BICEP) can radically change how you show up in your life. This isn't woo-woo stuff—it’s actionable and measurable, and he’s got the brainwave data to back it up.


Dave’s new book, Heavily Meditated, might be his most important one yet. Not because it’s flashy, but because it gives you the tools to clear the blocks—emotional, mental, even generational—that are stealing your energy and keeping you from your purpose. If you’re biohacking your body but ignoring your spirit, you’re leaving the most important gains on the table.


Key Takeaways:

  • Why forgiveness isn't a feeling—it's a performance enhancer

  • How to recognize and build your intuitive muscle

  • The biology behind “female intuition” (you’ll want to hear this)

  • How meditation actually rewires your nervous system

  • Why exposing yourself to pain builds motivation and emotional resilience

  • What to do when your heart rate variability just won’t budge

  • A surprising connection between altered states and intimacy

    Let me tell you something: it's not just about living longer—it's about living better. With more joy, more clarity, and more freedom. That’s what we’re after.
