In this episode of The Human Upgrade, we take a deep dive into how to optimize your body’s performance through cutting-edge biohacking techniques. Dave Asprey and guest Rowena Gates explore how the NanoV device boosts VO2 max and mitochondrial function for improved energy, recovery, and longevity. You’ll learn why VO2 max is essential for a longer life, how reactive oxygen species (ROS) both help and harm, and how to control them for maximum health. Plus, discover the science of protein folding and exclusion zone water, and how NanoVi technology supercharges your cells for better endurance with less effort. This episode is packed with biohacking insights to take your performance to the next level.
Today, we’re diving deep into biohacking your body’s performance—starting with your VO2 max and mitochondria.
We’re sitting down with cellular optimization expert, Rowena Gates, to dive into how the NanoVi device is disrupting the world of biohacking, recovery, and training.
First up, we’re breaking down VO2 max—the secret sauce to longevity. Forget endless hours of cardio. Learn how to hack your VO2 max efficiently and add years to your life, without grinding it out in the gym.
Then, we tackle the hidden world of reactive oxygen species (ROS). These little molecules can be both your friend and foe—boosting energy or fast-tracking aging. We’ll show you how to control them, so you can keep your energy levels high and your body youthful.
Finally, we explore the cutting-edge science of protein folding and exclusion zone water. Sound complicated? Don’t worry, we’ll break it down and show how NanoVi tech supercharges your mitochondria, giving you faster recovery and more endurance, all with minimal effort.
