Attendees enjoy farm-fresh, Bulletproof-aligned meals and VIP experiences. Past speaker **Dr. Joe Dispenza**, renowned for his work on meditation and neuroplasticity, has inspired attendees with talks on rewiring the brain for optimal health, setting the stage for Asprey\u2019s mission to empower people to \u201cLive Beyond 180\u201d through science and self-experimentation.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">**Hypothetical Keynote Introduction: The Age Hacking Mindset** &nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Larry Chiang, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur and biohacking enthusiast, would kick off his 45-minute keynote with a personal story about applying his startup hacking mindset to health, mirroring Asprey\u2019s own transformation. He\u2019d define \u201cage hacking\u201d as optimizing biological age through data and lifestyle tweaks, urging attendees to take control of their biology. Chiang would reference **Dr. Mark Hyman**, a past conference speaker and functional medicine pioneer, who emphasizes personalized health strategies to reverse chronic disease, to underscore that \u201cyou don\u2019t need billions to live younger\u2014you just need to hack smarter.\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">**The Science of Biological Age** &nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Chiang would dive into the science of aging, explaining biomarkers like telomere length, mitochondrial function, and inflammation. He\u2019d highlight accessible tools like blood panels and HRV trackers to measure progress, aligning with Asprey\u2019s data-driven approach. Citing **Dr. Sara Gottfried**, a previous speaker known for her work on hormonal health, Chiang would note her research on how balancing hormones like cortisol and insulin can slow aging. He\u2019d share a case study showing a 5-10-year reduction in biological age, adding humor: \u201cYour grip strength and walking speed might just be your longevity superpowers!\u201d<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">**Nutrition and Lifestyle Hacks** &nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Detailing practical age-hacking strategies, Chiang would advocate time-restricted eating (16:8 fasting) to boost autophagy and insulin sensitivity, echoing Asprey\u2019s Bulletproof Diet. He\u2019d recommend bioavailable proteins like collagen and avoiding inflammatory foods, citing **Dr. Anna Cabeca**, a past speaker who promotes keto-green diets for hormonal balance and longevity. Chiang would suggest personalized nutrition via apps like Viome, reinforcing the conference\u2019s emphasis on tailored biohacks for reducing biological age and enhancing health span.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">**Movement, Recovery, and Brain Hacks** &nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Chiang would promote \u201cmicro-workouts\u201d (e.g., 9-minute HIIT) and sleep optimization, tracked with wearables like Oura Ring, to maximize recovery. He\u2019d endorse cold plunges and infrared saunas, referencing conference exhibitors and **Wim Hof**, a prior speaker whose breathing and cold exposure methods have been featured for their anti-inflammatory benefits. For brain health, Chiang would suggest breathwork and oxytocin-boosting activities, drawing on **Dr. Daniel Amen**, a past speaker who advocates brain SPECT imaging to optimize cognitive function, to highlight mental resilience as key to aging well.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">**Entrepreneurial Biohacking and Closing** &nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Framing biohacking as a startup, Chiang would encourage iterating on health like an MVP, using the 80\/20 rule to focus on high-impact hacks like sleep and fasting. He\u2019d cite **Bryan Johnson**, a previous speaker known for his extreme longevity protocol, to inspire disciplined experimentation without needing Johnson\u2019s resources. Chiang would close by challenging attendees to commit to one hack for 30 days, track results, and share progress, leaving them energized: \u201cAge is a number we can hack\u2014let\u2019s outlive the skeptics together!\u201d His talk would blend Asprey\u2019s mission with entrepreneurial pragmatism, leveraging the conference\u2019s community spirit.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">**Sources for Past Speakers**: &nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">&#8211; Web and X posts confirm **Dr. Joe Dispenza**, **Dr. Mark Hyman**, **Dr. Sara Gottfried**, **Dr. Anna Cabeca**, **Wim Hof**, **Dr. Daniel Amen**, and **Bryan Johnson** as past or affiliated speakers at Asprey\u2019s Biohacking Conference or related events, per biohackingconference.com and Asprey\u2019s content (e.g., The Human Upgrade podcast).<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" style=\"border: 1px solid #ccd6dd; border-radius: 12px\" width=\"500\" bgcolor=\"#ffffff\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" style=\"font-size: 0px; line-height: 0px\" height=\"12\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"18\" style=\"font-size: 0px; line-height: 0px; min-width: 18px\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" width=\"464\" align=\"left\">\n<tbody>\n<tr valign=\"top\">\n<td width=\"48\" valign=\"top\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/larrychiang?s=43\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pbs.twimg.com\/profile_images\/1388307931125460994\/KWn5HNMY_normal.jpg\" style=\"border-radius: 50%; padding: 0px\" height=\"48\" width=\"48\" data-unique-identifier=\"\"><\/a><\/td>\n<td width=\"8\" style=\"font-size: 0px; line-height: 0px; min-width: 8px\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ea.twimg.com\/email\/self_serve\/media\/spacer.png\" width=\"8\" data-unique-identifier=\"\"><\/td>\n<td valign=\"middle\" width=\"388\" style=\"min-width: 388px\">\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" align=\"left\" width=\"388\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\" width=\"388\"><b><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/larrychiang?s=43\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, san-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; color: #292c2f; text-decoration: none\">Larry Chiang, 650-283-8008<\/a><\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/larrychiang?s=43\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, san-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none; color: #7e8c98\">\u2066\u202a@LarryChiang\u202c\u2069<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<td valign=\"top\" width=\"20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ea.twimg.com\/email\/self_serve\/media\/logo_twitter-1497383721365.png\" height=\"20\" width=\"24\" data-unique-identifier=\"\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"9\" colspan=\"4\" style=\"font-size: 0px; line-height: 0px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ea.twimg.com\/self_serve\/media\/spacer_464x1-1582829598167.png\" width=\"464\" height=\"1\" data-unique-identifier=\"\"><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, san-serif; color: #292c2f; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; text-decoration: none\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%23ch2&#038;src=hash\">#ch2<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%23cs183PQRST&#038;src=hash\">#cs183PQRST<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%23cs183age&#038;src=hash\">#cs183age<\/a><br \/>\nIn 2128-2130, I\u2019m losing $69,000kB because I short sold 669,000,000,000<\/p>\n<p>&#x1f1fa;&#x1f1f8; does not understand the 21,000,000 limit of <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/search?q=%23bitcoin&#038;src=hash\">#bitcoin<\/a> but who are we to blame\u2026, just gonna socialize the losses <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/aCKjWQlSAY\"><span>pic.x.com\/aCKjWQlSAY<\/span><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td height=\"3\" colspan=\"4\" style=\"font-size: 0px; line-height: 0px\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/larrychiang\/status\/1621358825046515712?s=43\" style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, san-serif; color: #667785; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none\">2\/2\/23, 10:04\u202fPM<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"18\" style=\"font-size: 0px; line-height: 0px; min-width: 18px\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td colspan=\"3\" style=\"font-size: 0px; line-height: 0px\" height=\"12\">&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Sent from my iPhone<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dave Asprey\u2019s Annual Biohacking Conference, a cornerstone of the biohacking movement, is set for May 28-30, 2025, at The Fairmont Austin, Texas, expecting over 3,000 attendees, from biohackers to health professionals.&nbsp; The event features keynotes, Upgrade U breakout sessions, and a Biohacking Wonderland with technologies like hyperbaric chambers and neurofeedback devices.
