Biohack or Bio-whack? Step Inside Dave Asprey’s 2025 Biohacking Conference
In the air-conditioned glow of a California conference center, a new breed of wellness warriors gathered to discuss the latest methods for defying death.
At the helm was Dave Asprey, Bulletproof coffee magnate and self-declared “Father of Biohacking,” who believes he’s on track to live to 180.
His toolkit?
A buffet of unconventional therapies: cryotherapy, stem cells, electromagnetic pods, and yes, filtered urine injections. 🧐
Oy vey.
The Biohacking Conference was less TED Talk, more sci-fi wellness rave. Attendees, dripping in aura-optimizing gear and wielding IV bags like accessories, traded protocols for longevity like tech investors swapping stocks.
We can’t help but point out the irony here.
While biohackers chase immortality with six-figure gadgets and questionable science, the world’s longest-living people remain suspiciously low-tech.
Just a whole lot of daily movement, strong relationships, a whole lot of greens, and a near-total lack of snake venom infusions.
There’s enough space in this world for both sides to exist.
Just keep the snake-venom away from us.

Dr. Microsoft Will Now See You
Microsoft is building an AI so advanced, it could out-diagnose your doctor.
In early tests, it nailed medical diagnoses almost 4x more accurately than humans. The system scans symptoms, medical records, and even imaging, spotting patterns even the best-trained eyes might miss.
If widely adopted, this “medical super‑intelligence” could transform healthcare by helping doctors deliver faster and more accurate diagnoses, reducing costs, and improving outcomes.

RFK Jr Taps Longevity Activist As Right-Hand Man
Jim O’Neill, longtime ally of the anti-aging world and Peter Thiel protégé, is now the #2 at the Department of Health and Human Services under RFK Jr.
To the longevity community, he’s “one of us”.
A guy who’s spoken at biohacking conferences, ran the SENS Research Foundation, and believes aging is optional.
But not everyone’s excited. O’Neill has pushed for fast-tracking unproven drugs and deregulating the FDA, raising red flags for public health experts who fear patients will turn into guinea pigs.
Will O’Neill supercharge the science, or ignite a regulatory firestorm?
WE LOVE little biohacks like this.
Or exercise hacks.
Whatever you want to call it.
This recent study showed that breaking up long periods of sitting with short, frequent movements (like walking or squatting), helps control blood sugar after eating better than taking just one long walk.
The key is activating big muscles like the thighs and glutes more often and with more intensity.
More muscle activity = better blood sugar control.
If you’re sitting down right now, this is your sign to take 10 seconds and kick off a new routine.👇🏼
New research shows performing 10 body weight squats every 45 minutes during an 8.5-hour period of sitting is more effective for blood sugar regulation than a single 30-minute walk, primarily due to frequent, intense muscle activation.
10 squats = 10 seconds.
PS - If you can't
