#001: Dave Asprey on Losing Millions, Curing Diseases, and Upgrading the Paleo Diet

Dave Asprey, inventor of the Bulletproof Coffee, has created a
Biohacking empire with a successful podcast, blog, and shop.
Within the last year, Dave published his bestselling book “The
Bulletproof Diet”, supported the filming of the documentary
“Moldy”, and raised $ 9 million to finance the rollout of
Bulletproof Coffee Shops all over the world. Moreover, the
husband and father of two organizes the annual Biohacking
Conference in Los Angeles (where Flowgrade Show Host
Maximilian Gotzler will be speaking this year) and is a
regular speaker at high caliber events such as the World
Economic Forum in Davos.


 


In this very first episode of the Flowgrade Show, Dave Asprey
talks about how he made millions in his twenties, lost all of
them again, and became fatter, sicker and more frustrated in
the process. Dave talks about the beginnings of his company
Bulletproof, his passion for self-experiments, his favorite
smart drugs, his morning routine and how he developed an
upgrade to the Paleo diet.
