From Bulletproof Coffee to Biohacking, Dave Asprey is a Man of Firsts
Dave Asprey is best known as the founder of Bulletproof Coffee and the entire Biohacking movement.
As a four-time New York Times bestselling author, CEO of Upgrade Labs, and host of a Webby award-winning, top 100 podcast, The Human Upgrade (formerly Bulletproof Radio), Dave is a maverick in the entrepreneurial health science space.
As a true pioneer, Dave was the first person to ever sell a product online, and as you might guess, it was related to coffee.
Dave sold caffeine t-shirts out of his dorm room before the web browser was even invented, which earned him a profile in Entrepreneur Magazine. Dave became an early internet technology journalist, a cybersecurity expert, and co-founded a division of Exodus Communications, a company that seeded the internet we know today.
At only 28 years old, Dave’s phenomenal career success left him battling cognitive fog, arthritis, pre diabetes, putting him at high risk for stroke, and with the biochemistry of a 60-year-old.
His own premature aging sparked a quest to reclaim his health and vitality, lose over 100 pounds, and not only reverse his biological age but also increase his IQ by over 12 points. This work led him to create The Bulletproof Diet and to coin the health science term “biohacking,” a word once deemed “fringe” yet now resides in the Merriam-Webster dictionary, along with Dave Aprey as part of the definition.
Dave’s drive to understand the human body’s potential, along with his own investment of nearly $2 million to measure and upgrade his biology, and his persistent effort to share his findings over 10 years running the very first and largest biohacking conference on the planet, has garnered him the prestigious title of Father of Biohacking.
