The Human Upgrade: Biohacking for Longevity & Performance

• The Hidden Key to Pain-Free Joints (Longevity Tips) : 1341

  Most people think about heart disease and metabolism when they talk about longevity, but too few talk about joint health. In this episode, you’ll discover how to biohack your joints to prevent pain, reverse damage, and move like you’re decades younger. Host Dave Asprey reveals how functional movement, core stability, and recovery can transform joint health, helping you maintain pain-free performance for life. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Dr. Jason Snibbe is a globally recognized, board-certified orthopedic surgeon and a pioneer in advanced, minimally invasive, and robotic surgeries of the shoulder, elbow, hip, and knee. Fellowship-trained in Sports Medicine and Robotic Joint Reconstruction, he has achieved the lowest complication rate at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and is the official orthopedic surgeon for the Los Angeles Clippers.

As a founding and managing partner in DOCS Spine and Orthopedics and Docs Surgical Hospital, Dr. Snibbe lectures and trains surgeons around the world in his specialized techniques. Host Dave Asprey and Dr. Snibbe uncover how weak glutes, poor core engagement, and bad footwear accelerate joint aging, and how functional movement training and fascia care can protect your body from surgery. You’ll learn why proper biomechanics are central to human performance and longevity, how hypermobility and fascia impact neuroplasticity, and the latest biohacking tools for recovery and joint regeneration. You’ll Learn: • The real cause of joint damage and how to prevent it • How to build a stronger core and glutes for long-term joint stability • Why footwear choices can make or break your movement quality • The truth about fascia, stretching, and strength training • When to use PRP, stem cells, and biologics for healing • How hypermobility affects your joints, brain, and longevity • Daily mobility and recovery habits that prevent future surgery They explore how biologics like PRP, stem cells, and exosomes are changing orthopedic recovery and joint repair, and why functional medicine is moving beyond surgery toward regeneration. You’ll hear how precision movement, fascia work, and strength training protect your joints and enhance human performance and longevity. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, hacking human performance, improving mobility, and extending longevity. You’ll also learn how neuroplasticity, metabolism, and brain optimization all connect to the way you move.

• How Gravity Shapes Your Body, Brain, and Health : 1338

  Gravity may be the most ignored signal in human biology, and it could be the missing key to unlocking fat loss, brain optimization, and true longevity. In this episode, you’ll learn how Earth’s pull shapes your metabolism, mood, and resilience, and discover practical hacks to fight “gravity intolerance” so you can perform better, live longer, and upgrade every system in your body. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Brennan Spiegel, a Professor of Medicine and Public Health at UCLA, Director of Health Services Research at Cedars-Sinai, and author of Pull: How Gravity Shapes Your Body, Steadies the Mind, and Guides Our Health. A leading voice in digital health and immersive medicine, Dr. Spiegel brings decades of clinical and research experience exploring the intersection of the gut-brain axis, neuropsychology, and mind-body medicine. In this episode, he reveals why gravity influences everything from gut health to depression — and why modern medicine has largely ignored its role. His work bridges functional medicine, neuroscience, and biohacking to uncover a hidden force that shapes human performance at every level. You’ll Learn: • Why gravity is the most ignored biohacking signal in human health • How gravity intolerance shows up as back pain, fatigue, obesity, and depression • The surprising connection between gravity, serotonin, and mood regulation • How weighted vests, balance boards, and proprioception training hack graviception • Why sleep optimization, posture, and fascia resilience are gravity-based health tools • How Earth’s pull influences gut health, metabolism, and even consciousness You’ll learn how gravity connects to obesity, back pain, blood pressure, serotonin, and even consciousness. Dave and Dr. Spiegel explore how weighted vests, balance boards, vibration, and sleep optimization can hack your body’s response to gravity. This channel dives into mitochondria, neuroplasticity, fasting, ketosis, supplements, and how biohackers can apply these insights alongside tools like cold therapy, nootropics, and even Danger Coffee to build resilience and extend longevity.
