There is an interesting contradiction in the way we talk about aging. We celebrate using technology to improve sleep, metabolism, cognition, recovery, and longevity, but when the same mindset is applied to appearance, the conversation can suddenly become much more judgmental.

In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we sit down with Dave Asprey to explore that tension. We get into why he chose a facelift after major weight loss, whether cosmetic procedures belong in the biohacking conversation, and why wanting to look younger is often treated differently from wanting the rest of your body to function younger.

Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, CEO of Upgrade Labs, host of The Human Upgrade, and co-founder of Unlimited Life. We also talk about how he prepares his body before procedures, what he thinks people misunderstand about peptides, and his takes on GLP face, collagen supplements, Botox, stem cells, and the other tools people are using to change how they age.

What’s Discussed:

[13:02] Why Dave ultimately chose a facelift after major weight loss.

[15:24] Where non-surgical skin treatments reached their limit for the amount of excess skin he wanted to address.

[18:58] Why copying someone else’s longevity or supplement stack can backfire.

[28:59] Where to start when your biological-age markers look good but you still do not like what you see in the mirror.

[30:07] Why sleep, recovery, HRV, and other foundational markers still matter when thinking about aging.

[37:52] The stigma around cosmetic procedures in biohacking and why Dave questions where that line is drawn.

[44:56] Why he believes fear around aging and medical procedures can affect the body’s stress response.

[54:25] GLP-1s, muscle loss, and the changes people notice in facial appearance after weight loss.

Listen to this episode of Biohacking Beauty for a conversation about where “aging naturally” ends, where biohacking begins, and why that line becomes much more complicated when appearance enters the picture.
