ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
There is a selfish motive for writing a book like this. There are only two ways I know to deeply understand something—you either teach it or you write a book about it, because writing is a forcing function to make you structure your knowledge. However, writing a book comes with sacrifice. It means countless late nights at the keyboard. It means less time with my wife. It means less time with my kids. For that reason, I’m acknowledging my family first—not only for giving up that time, but for supporting me so fully during the writing of this book. They are the reason that I have done everything in my power to make this book worth your time to read. I wouldn’t sacrifice my own time to write it otherwise! (Read Perennial Seller by Ryan Holiday if you want to know more about what makes authors like me tick.)
Profound thanks to my writing partner Jodi Lipper, editor Julie Will, and agent Celeste Fine. Words do not express how impressed I am with each of your literary superpowers. Super thanks also to Anie Tazian, Beverly Hampson, and Nikki de Goey, my assistants at Bulletproof, who manage my insane calendar to make sure I hit my deadlines (mostly) and be a father, CEO, author, podcaster, and still have time to recover and practice my own anti-aging self-upgrades.
As you read in the first chapter, a book like this can exist only when it is based on the shoulders of millennia of research, including the researchers behind every single paper I referenced. While each has my gratitude, I could not name them all, and if I did, you’d stop reading. Always remember how many people are working on solving the aging problem! Special thanks to Aubrey de Grey for his pioneering work in aging and friendship for years. Thanks to Satchin Panda from the Salk Institute for major breakthroughs in mitochondrial biology and meal timing. Thanks to Mary Enig for explaining fats so well. Much appreciation for Dale Bredesen for so clearly identifying the three big causes of Alzheimer’s. Thanks to Steve Fowkes for his tireless work in anti-aging and biochemistry and long-term friendship. So much appreciation for Dr. Shallenberger and Dr. Rowen for their work in ozone therapy and mitochondrial respiration. Much gratitude to T. S. Wiley and Dr. Paul Zak for their perspectives on hormones, and Dr. Klinghardt for his nearly forty years of work on toxins and biology. And a special stem cell thanks for the treatments, and the research and learning, from Dr. Harry Adelson and Dr. Amy Killen and Dr. Marcella Madera of Docere Clinics, and from Dr. Matt Cook at BioReset. Thanks to Dr. Daniel Amen, Dr. Mark Hyman, and Dr. David Perlmutter, for their groundbreaking leadership and friendship. Much appreciation for Dr. Barry Morguelan for his Chinese medicine teachings and his energy meditations, which I used while writing this book. Thanks to Jim Plante for his work on Klotho, and Ian Mitchell for the pioneering work with carbon 60 and aging. Much appreciation to Dr. Oz Garcia, Dr. Lionel Bissoon, and Dr. Philip Lee Miller, who ran my first hormone panels, and so many more fantastic human beings who have gifted me—and millions of Bulletproof Radio listeners—with their time.
Special thanks to a few friends who share extra business support and wisdom: Dan Scholnick, Mike Koenigs, Naveen Jain, Joe Polish, JJ Virgin, Michael Fishman, and Dan Sullivan.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
DAVE ASPREY spent twenty years and more than $1 million to hack his own biology, creating the field of biohacking along the way. People have read more than five hundred thousand copies of his books about how to make your biology work better for you, and they’ve enjoyed more than two hundred thousand cups of Bulletproof Coffee. He is a serial entrepreneur, founder of Bulletproof, creator of Bulletproof
Coffee, author of multiple New York Times bestsellers, and host of the Webby Award–winning Bulletproof Radio podcast, with more than 100 million downloads. Dave’s audacious goal is to live to at least a hundred and eighty years old so he’ll have the time to upgrade some really big institutions, starting with Big Food. He hangs his anti-aging hat on Vancouver Island with his Swedish wife, two kids, a dachshund, eight pigs, and ten sheep, at least when he’s not running Bulletproof, injecting stem cells, interviewing the most interesting people in the world, or signing books.
