Dave Asprey

Founder, Bulletproof; 'father of biohacking'

Dave Asprey built the Bulletproof brand and popularized the word 'biohacking,' and his BEYOND conference and podcast remain hubs for the peptide-curious. He's an enthusiastic adopter — naming BPC-157 as a foundational entry point and Melanotan among his favorites — but pairs that with an unusually blunt caveat: peptides are 'the last thing you do,' layered on only after the basics (vitamins, minerals, sleep) are handled, which he compares to 'putting nitrous in a car with an engine about to blow.' Documented from interviews and his platform.

Melanotan / α-MSH

Peptides (general)

Estimates ~500 are 'commonly used' in biohacking — but insists they come last, after the fundamentals.
