Summary
Dave Asprey joins The Human Upgrade to discuss the nobel prize molecule that nearly doubles lifespan : 1407. Key topics include key longevity markers and interventions to optimize healthspan; performance optimization strategies backed by science; practical biohacking tools and technologies for health optimization.
Key Points
- Key longevity markers and interventions to optimize healthspan
- Performance optimization strategies backed by science
- Practical biohacking tools and technologies for health optimization
Key Moments
Is there any risk of ESS 60 maybe stopping exercise from working?
Is there any risk of ESS 60 maybe stopping exercise from working? Because if you take too many antioxidants, even vitamin C or vitamin E, when you work out, you don't get enough oxidative stress.
"Is there any risk of ESS 60 maybe stopping exercise from working? Because if you take too many antioxidants, even vitamin C or vitamin E, when you work out, you don't get enough oxidative stress. So this is going to be great. So I attended a talk at not your most recent conference, but the one before by Chris Geffen. He's a natural body builder, amazing guy. He's a great, right? You know, a lot of times you see a guy is super muscular."
Accelerated Tms: And our guest today is not only a comedian
And our guest today is not only a comedian, he's also the original manufacturer of this molecule going back to the time it turns out I actually took the molecule he manufactured and sometime around 2004-2005.
"And our guest today is not only a comedian, he's also the original manufacturer of this molecule going back to the time it turns out I actually took the molecule he manufactured and sometime around 2004-2005. And I quit taking it for a while because there were serious concerns about stability and purity."
So the molecule was discovered in 1985 at Rice University in Houston
And we really kind of put together ESS 60, because we, well, first were the oldest and longest manufacturer of carbon 60 on the planet. We've been manufacturing it since 1991 and maybe a little bit of background, right?

And the three scientists who discovered the molecule went on to win the Nobel Prize for that discovery."
Yeah, because most particles, it's one or the other
Because they're both just like quantum, like, oh, and so if no one's observing it, the C60 will show up on both.
"Because they're both just like quantum, like, oh, and so if no one's observing it, the C60 will show up on both. Oh, that's weird. Yeah, because most particles, it's one or the other. Wow. The molecules, like the fact that they won the Nobel Prize is absolutely appropriate, right, because it is so it's got sixfold symmetry, you can actually fire this molecule at 16,000 miles an hour at a plate of steel. Most molecules just shred a part."
