Dave Asprey has spent more than two decades changing how millions of people think about biohacking, longevity, cognitive performance, sleep, nutrition, and human optimization. But in this conversation, the father of biohacking goes somewhere much deeper. What if the ultimate biohack isn’t physical at all?

Dave believes biohacking is evolving beyond simply optimizing the body. The next frontier may be learning to control your state, consciousness, intuition, emotional responses, and awareness—and understanding how those forces shape the way we experience reality.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Dave opens up about a side of his journey that gets far less attention: spirituality and consciousness.

Earlier in his life, Dave says he would have dismissed many spiritual practices as nonsense. His worldview was rooted in science, measurement, and evidence. But experiences with meditation, breathwork, trauma resolution, altered states, and consciousness exploration gradually forced him to reconsider what science can—and cannot yet—explain.

That journey changed his definition of biohacking.

Rather than simply changing your environment to control your biology, Dave increasingly thinks about biohacking as gaining greater control over your state. Because ultimately, most people don't really want better biomarkers. They want to feel focused, energized, calm, connected, resilient, and alive.

We also dive deeply into intuition. Can intuition actually be trained? Dave believes it can.

Using Moneyball as an analogy, Dave explains why the smartest decisions often come from combining data with intuition rather than choosing one over the other. The challenge is learning to distinguish genuine intuitive signals from fear, emotional reactivity, bias, and imagination.

Dave shares how practices including meditation, breathwork, neurofeedback, altered states, and awareness trainingmay help quiet the nervous system enough to recognize those signals.

Then we tackle one of the biggest questions in the longevity movement:

What is the point of living longer?

Dave has famously discussed dramatically extending human lifespan. But longevity, he argues, shouldn't simply mean accumulating more years. The opportunity is maintaining the energy, cognition, wisdom, relationships, purpose, and vitality necessary to make those additional years meaningful.

The goal isn't simply lifespan. It's having more time to grow, contribute, connect, and become more fully human.

In this episode, we explore:

• How Dave Asprey's definition of biohacking has evolved

• Why consciousness may be the next frontier of human optimization

• Why spirituality became part of Dave's worldview

• Whether intuition can be developed and trained

• How meditation and breathwork can change your internal state

• Why data and intuition work better together

• The relationship between the nervous system, awareness, and decision-making

• What altered states may reveal about consciousness

• Dave's evolving philosophy of longevity and life extension

• Why living longer without purpose misses the point

• What the future of biohacking may look like beyond physical optimization

Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, entrepreneur, investor, founder of Bulletproof, and host of The Human Upgrade. Widely recognized as the father of the modern biohacking movement, his work has helped bring biohacking, nootropics, fasting, cognitive optimization, mitochondrial health, and longevity into mainstream culture.

But after decades spent upgrading the human body, Dave is asking a bigger question:

What exactly are we upgrading it for?

If you're interested in Dave Asprey, biohacking, longevity, consciousness, spirituality, meditation, breathwork, neuroscience, intuition, human performance, life extension, AI, altered states, or the future of human potential, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
