Dave Asprey is the "Father of Biohacking" and founder of Bulletproof 360, Inc. He is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, host of the Webby award-winning podcast Bulletproof Radio, and the creator of the global phenomenon Bulletproof Coffee and the Bulletproof Diet.

As an overweight, overworked, and unhealthy Silicon Valley entrepreneur, Dave found himself with a dire decision to make - get a healthy mind, body, and spirit, or live a much shorter life span. Dave chose to not only live but to thrive and share that knowledge with his community. He has spent the past two and a half decades scouring the planet from Tibet to the Andes discovering and engineering ways to fully realize human potential. Transforming himself into a super high-performing human being, the experience and knowledge gained was too valuable not to share.

Through the Bulletproof Diet, countless biological experiments, and simple life "hacks", Dave has maintained a 100-pound weight loss, upgraded his brain, and transformed himself into a happy and gratitude-filled husband, father, writer, executive, and human being. With over 200 million downloads of his Human Upgrade podcast, millions of monthly unique visitors to the Dave Asprey blog, and of course the Bulletproof 360 products in millions of households worldwide, Dave has created a movement that shows us the power of intention and the limitless possibility of the human spirit and incredible capacity of the physical body.

Being Bulletproof is the state of high performance, where you take control of your biology and your environment. Dave shares his journey of self-discovery as an example that can lead you towards unlocking your full birthright potential.

Great information but frustrated...

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this book almost a year ago and skimmed it off and on. In the last week I've been diligently reading every word written in this book and highlighting the parts I want to implement or share with my husband. (there are a lot of highlights in my book now)
I am finally getting serious about wanting to have children and the fact that I'm getting into my mid thirties made me extra interested in this book. I already follow a lot of the Bulletproof protocol off and on and so this book just goes a little more into depth about how what you eat, drink, touch, and breath can affect your unborn baby even before you conceive and throughout breastfeeding.

I am really enjoying it HOWEVER, I have one very serious complaint, which is why I'm only giving it 4 stars. The amount of times that the better baby website is referenced only to send you to practically empty pages is so so disappointing. I WANT this extra info!!! Type in the web address referenced and it leads you to pages that have an "apology" that the info isn't there and then if that wasn't frustrating enough they blame it on the publisher for releasing their book 6 weeks ahead of schedule. The book was released in 2013, so now we are 6 YEARS later and they still haven't updated anything. Its disheartening because it's research and information that I really want to see and read, that I believe other people probably really want. It's hard to find most of this information out there and it would just be nice to have access to the extra references and studies they mention. So many times they say if you want to know exactly what we did or you'd like to see the list of household items that we used go to... and then it's just the "apology."

The research and information presented in the book is informative, ground breaking, science backed research that deviates from the normal understanding or "common knowledge" of what can contribute to having a healthy or unhealthy baby. I think that what bothers me the most is that the blame is put on another entity for the info not being there as referenced in their book. I have so much respect for Dave and Lana and sharing all this wonderful information with the world. I would still recommend this book to my friends, I'd just have to include the recommendation with a disclaimer that they shouldn't go looking for most of the "extra" information they promise, because it simply isn't there.

All recommendations were well backed up with scientific data. I’ve been following their advice now for 2 months and I’ve had no morning sickness and my energy levels are high. For those who are trying to get pregnant, or looking to have the best possible outcome read this book.

Good, But Could Be Better

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 17, 2013

Verified Purchase

I've got quite the collection of nutrition books, blogs, etc... that I read, and I enjoyed this book and learned a few new things. However, I thought that a few recipes or meal ideas would have been helpful for those treading on new territory with this sort of eating plan. Also, I use several herbs before, during, and after pregnancy, and I would really have enjoyed had the author and her husband researched and included that aspect of health management and baby growing/nurturing as well, as I've had much success.

I really appreciated the section on water and toxins. I'm still a little leery of using any sort of detoxing agent during pregnancy, and hopefully they follow that up on their website.

And that brings me to the next point, I would really love to see their website updated! I understand that the book was published early, and I'll be checking the site often, but I really want to know the information now that was promised in the book! FOr instance, they give a web address (extension of their address) for each topic where they will have a list of recommended products. This is not the case. An updated post on when it is to be expected would at least be helpful!

Oh, one more thing: Taking that many multivitamins and prenatals? No way, no how, never! Some herbal information would have been super here instead of swallowing all those pills, which are often synthetic. There are better and safer ways!

Overall, this is like any other nutrition book in that there are good things, and there are some questionable things. Take the meat and leave the bones. :)

Not a fan, but it works!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 6, 2015

Triglycerides 40, HDL 85, LDL 113. Those were my blood test results after two years of following Dr. Lana's advice to eat plenty of Irish butter and grass-fed beef -- sometimes at the same time, haha. I began this regimen while pregnant and have continued since then because it is so delicious. So at least in my case her promise that such dietary habits would lead to low triglycerides and high HDL came true. I'm not really a fan of BBB and its paranoid ideas about environmental contaminants, I don't like the Aspreys whole super-yuppie vibe (maybe I'm just jealous), and I thought her advice in this book to take hormones while pregnant was, frankly, nuts. So that's where I'm coming from. Really I could have just stuck with the free BBB PDF preview I got prior to the release of BBB that instructed pregnant women to eat Irish butter and supplement with folic acid and Vitamin D3. I had a healthy baby, and, as you can see, I had impressively low tris and impressively high HDL many months after having the baby and completing nursing. Thank you, Dr. Lana, for that free PDF - I forwarded it to anyone I knew who was pregnant. Not so many thanks for BBB as a whole - I just don't believe everything I drink, eat or breathe is toxic and is killing me, nor do I believe there's much difference between produce grown with organic pesticides (heavy metals anyone?) and produce grown with synthetic pesticides.

Book arrived as described. Excellent content. As a registered nurse, wish I had bought this sooner, but even in my 2nd trimester was able to implement important strategies. My favorite topics in the book are the supplements, postpartum testing times, & exercise during pregnancy. I thought there would be far more recipes, but only recall the book containing three. I tried via Facebook, email, & Instagram to ask the authors questions as none of the links given in the book worked. Was not able to reach anyone.

Excellent info. Well, well worth your time.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on March 1, 2018

Excellent info. Dave Asprey's podcasts are also a goldmine. He's not afraid to look at some whoo-whoo stuff since (as I have found) dismissing stuff because it seems silly when you don't yet understand it can make you miss important things.

One thing even if you don't read this - take methlyfolate not folic acid (as they recommend in the book). Around 48% of women can't even metabolise folic acid so it becomes a hinderance and they miss out on a vital, vital nutrient. It was worked out how to make it around 2002 (by Thorne Research) and should be recommended everywhere instead of folic acid... but it isn't.

I work in a clinic and we have few books on fertility for couples to read in the waiting room, most of them do give the same information, this book I think sheds a new light on the subject with a fresh perspective its both well researched and written and its a suggested read to all my fertility patents.
