Dave Asprey
Father of Biohacking, Founder of Bulletproof
Dave Asprey focuses on upgrading human performance by taking control of one's own biology. His protocol centers on the Bulletproof Diet, mitochondrial function, and leveraging technology to enhance health. He is best known for creating Bulletproof Coffee and the concept of cyclical ketosis.
The Bulletproof Diet
- Bulletproof Coffee: Black coffee blended with grass-fed butter (or ghee) and MCT oil (Brain Octane Oil). Promotes ketosis, curbs hunger, provides sustained energy
- Cyclical Ketosis: High healthy fats, moderate protein, very few carbs most days. Weekly "carb refeed day" to replenish glycogen
- High-Quality Fats: Avocados, grass-fed butter, coconut oil, MCT oil
- Avoidance of "Kryptonite" Foods: Eliminates sugar, gluten, grains, legumes, and most dairy believed to cause inflammation
- Protein Fasting: One day per week to induce deeper autophagy
