Eight hours of sleep. Eight glasses of water. Ten thousand steps a day. Most of those numbers were not science, they were marketing. This episode pulls apart the longevity rules most people still build their lives around, and replaces them with what is actually in the peer reviewed literature.

Dr. Yi Song sits down with Dave Asprey, the entrepreneur who coined the word biohacking and has authored multiple New York Times bestsellers on aging. Recorded in the middle of the Drake Passage on the way to Antarctica, the conversation traces how Dave went from 300 pounds, pre-diabetic, and chronically fatigued in his twenties to a 53 year old who says he feels closer to his mid thirties, and what he stuck with for 25 years to get there.

The conversation gets specific. Stem cells in every joint and three rounds into cerebral spinal fluid, then later guided into the brain at a partner clinic in Costa Rica using functional MRI, magnetic stimulation, and focused ultrasound. MiniCircle plasmid gene therapy with folistatin, VEGF, and Klotho, including what Klotho actually shifted for him around cognition and vitality. Twenty years of red light, lasers, and pulsed electromagnetic work. A five day neuroscience protocol at 40 Years of Zen that he says compresses decades of meditation into a week. And why lavender essential oil, eight hour sleep targets, and the idea that you are simply lazy may all be doing more harm than good.
