Bulletproof, 40 Years of Zen, Upgrade Labs and Danger Coffee

Dave Asprey, known as “The Father of Biohacking,” is the founder of Bulletproof Coffee, The Bulletproof Diet, and the entire biohacking movement. A four-time New York Times bestselling author, his upcoming book, Heavily Meditated (Harper Collins, May 2025), explores how to remove stress triggers and achieve inner peace. He is also the CEO of Upgrade Labs and host of The Human Upgrade podcast, a top 100 health and wellness show. A pioneer in longevity and human performance, Dave has spent decades working with top medical experts, investing millions in research, and developing science-backed techniques to optimize the mind and body. His innovations helped create three billion-dollar markets—MCT oil, collagen protein, and functional coffee—and he continues to push boundaries with his mold-free, remineralized Danger Coffee. Dave also founded the largest and longest-running Biohacking Conference and 40 Years of Zen, a leading neuroscience-based brain training program. Through his work, Dave has empowered millions to upgrade their health, energy, and longevity—one biohack at a time.
