From 28–30 May 2025, over 4,000 biohackers, visionaries, wellness seekers, and longevity enthusiasts will converge in Austin, Texas, for a transformative three-day experience: Dave Asprey’s 2025 biohacking conference—Live Beyond 180. Held at the Fairmont Hotel, this 13th annual event will blend cutting-edge science, experiential wellness, and a new vision for human health and performance.

Welcome to the epicenter of innovation, where the question isn’t if you can live to 180, but how.

Dave Asprey: The Movement’s Pioneer and Provocateur

Dubbed the “Father of Biohacking,” Dave Asprey has spent decades transforming personal wellness from a reactive approach to a proactive, tech-powered revolution. Best known for founding Bulletproof Coffee and launching the biohacking movement, Asprey is also a four-time New York Times bestselling author and host of The Human Upgrade podcast. At this year’s conference, he’ll celebrate the release of his newest book, Heavily Meditated: The Fast Path to Remove Your Triggers, Dissolve Stress, and Activate Inner Peace. Merging neuroscience, practical tools, and ancient practices, the book aims to fast-track readers to inner transformation—no cave required.

A Star-Powered Lineup to Expand the Mind and Body

The 2025 biohacking conference is not just a gathering—it’s a cultural movement attracting some of the world’s most influential thinkers and doers. The speaker lineup reads like a who's who of wellness, science, and purpose-driven leadership:

• Martin Luther King III & Arndrea Waters King bring a soulful dialogue on trauma healing and conscious purpose.

• Dr. Joe Dispenza, neuroscientist and bestselling author, leads attendees into the quantum field of personal transformation.

• Ryan Holiday, creator of The Daily Stoic, offers insights on ancient wisdom for modern resilience.

• Vani Hari, a pioneering food activist, challenges the status quo on what we put into our bodies.

• Dr. Alberto Villoldo, a medical anthropologist, explores how to "grow a new brain."

More than 100 speakers will appear across main stage keynotes, fireside chats, and breakout sessions during the three-day immersion.

 Biohacking Wonderland: Where Innovation Meets Experience

Unlike traditional health conferences, Asprey’s event is known for its interactivity. This year’s Biohacking Wonderland—spanning the entire 5th floor of the hotel—offers attendees the chance to:

• Scan their liver health using real-time diagnostics.

• Sample cutting-edge nootropics and longevity supplements.

• Experience the healing power of hyperbaric oxygen chambers.

• Engage with AI-powered home gym technologies.

• Learn how to cook (and enjoy) nutrient-rich organ meats.

• Experience psychedelic-assisted neurofeedback therapies.

• Try CO₂-based recovery treatments and light therapy.
  

This tech-and-touch environment allows individuals to become, in Asprey’s words, “the CEOs of their own health.”

Morning U, Upgrade U, and Beyond

The daily schedule is rich with educational tracks, hands-on labs, and immersive experiences. Mornings kick off with Morning U, featuring fitness pioneers like Joe De Sena, founder of Spartan Race. Attendees stretch and sweat with martial artists like Tateki Matsuda, or dive into Kundalini yoga and sound baths with wellness visionaries.

By late morning, Upgrade U begins—offering advanced education in fields such as:

• Neuroplasticity and Quantum Wellness with BrainTap founder Patrick Porter, PhD.

• Longevity and Personalized Medicine with experts like Dr. Tim Cook and Marc Kielburger.

• Peptide therapy, glutathione detox, and mitochondrial health.

• Future-forward diagnostics and frequency-based healing.

And when the sun goes down? The conference transforms into a vibrant ecosystem of connection—with cacao ceremonies, 432Hz sound immersions, biohacker networking lounges, and even a book launch dance party with Steve Aoki.

A Gathering with Purpose

Asprey’s mission is clear: to change the narrative around aging, performance, and health. “87% of Americans have FOGO—fear of growing old,” he says. “Why settle for dying at 85 when you can live to 180 with full energy? The only missing link is knowledge—and that’s exactly what this conference provides.”

The event is deeply experiential, but it’s also rooted in purpose. Speakers like Daymond John of Shark Tank fame and Naveen Jain, founder of Viome, will share how tech, AI, and bold thinking are reshaping not just individual wellness, but the future of healthcare itself.

Dive Deeper with Asprey’s Gaia Series

In January 2025, Biohacking with Dave Asprey, a new series, launched exclusively on Gaia, offering viewers a transformative exploration into the science and spirit of human optimization. Across ten engaging episodes, Asprey challenges conventional thinking about health and longevity, revealing the most effective biohacks to upgrade the body, mind, and spirit.

From foundational topics like nutrition, fasting, sleep, and supplementation, to deeper dives into detoxification, hormone balancing, cognition, and even spirituality, Biohacking showcases Asprey’s unique perspective and tested strategies. His message is clear: “Biohacking is not just about being well… it’s about the power to transform yourself.”

Each episode presents practical tools and insights, encouraging viewers to personalize their path to peak performance and resilience. Whether you're new to biohacking or a longtime follower of Asprey’s work, this series is a must-watch for anyone looking to live a longer, stronger, and more conscious life.
