Podcast cover

The Human Upgrade: Biohacking for Longevity & Performance

The podcast explores the use of research chemicals, SARMs, and peptides for performance enhancement and overall health, questioning the conventional definitions of "cheating" and "performance-enhancing drugs." Dylan Gemelli, a biohacker, shares his experiences and insights on these substances, alongside host Dave Asprey, who recounts his own history using SARMs for muscle gain. They discuss the legal gray areas surrounding research chemicals, contrasting them with the acceptance of harmful substances like glyphosate and alcohol. The conversation covers specific compounds like MK-677, S4, and Melanotan, including their benefits, potential side effects, and proper usage. Both advocate for medical autonomy and informed self-experimentation, challenging the notion that external permission is needed to optimize one's health. They also touch on the importance of neurological health, mind-body connection, and the limitations of conventional medical advice.
