Quantity of Lifespan > Quality of Life? Exploring the True Purpose of Biohacking
With Christian Drapeau, James Hamblin Dave Asprey and Stephanie Venn-Watson

The firepower in this room is real – from a global leader in stem cell regeneration, to the visionary entrepreneur credited with creating three unique billion-dollar markets: MCT Oil, Collagen Protein, and Functional Coffee – the topic of biohacking is here to stay. Globally, widespread passion for biohacking is skyrocketing, and isn’t reserved for a specific age group: currently the hashtag #biohacking has 791 million views on TikTok, and continues to gain popularity with Millennials and Gen Z who are interested in the scientific research behind their health and wellbeing. Made popular by self-directed well-being protocols like intermittent fasting, sleep optimization, and cold plunge therapy, biohacking is a form of human enhancement or augmentation where people enact lifestyle changes that alter aspects of their biology in hopes to enhance physical and cognitive abilities, optimize health, and achieve personal goals. In this dialogue, these experts will come together to discuss a fundamental question: At what point is it all “too far”? When does this healthy curiosity go from motivated self-autonomy to unhealthy obsession? And what is the gray area in between? Join us to find out.
