In this Part 1 episode of The Human Upgrade, Dave Asprey sits down with Gary Brecka to uncover the hidden forces sabotaging your health, hormones, and lifespan. They reveal why testosterone levels are crashing, why modern medicine is failing, and how AI-driven biohacking is rewriting the future of longevity. From corporate greed shaping public health to the real science behind hormone optimization, this conversation will challenge everything you’ve been told—and show you how to take back control of your biology.
Why were our grandparents stronger, healthier, and living longer—without the “advancements” of modern medicine?
Gary Brecka, one of the world’s leading experts in human longevity and performance, exposes the hidden crisis that’s wrecking your hormones, slashing your energy, and cutting your lifespan short. In this no-holds-barred conversation with Dave Asprey, they break down the corporate greed, medical corruption, and environmental toxins designed to keep you sick, weak, and dependent.
What’s really causing the testosterone collapse in men and women? How is AI changing the game for hormone optimization, biohacking, and personalized health? And why are we aging faster than ever—while Big Pharma profits?
This first episode in a two-part series is a deep dive into hormone optimization, testosterone, cholesterol myths, longevity hacks, and the AI-driven future of health.
