Attending 10th Annual Biohacking Conference this year was quite the experience! This year’s event, hosted in Austin, Texas, brought together a lineup of brilliant minds and world-renowned experts, creating an extraordinary experience for all who attended.
Whether you were new to the concept of biohacking or already in the field, the conference offered something for everyone, from informative sessions and hands-on workshops to networking opportunities and wellness activities, providing a roadmap to unlock your full potential and elevate your well-being.
My Journey to Austin
As someone who’s passionate about biohacking and longevity, I was beyond excited to attend the Annual Biohacking Conference, by founder and ceo Dave Asprey. Little did I know, getting to Austin would be quite a challenge this year! A huge storm caused my flight from Palm Springs, initially set for 6 a.m., to face cancellations and delays. First, my flight was pushed to 3 p.m., then to 5 p.m., and eventually canceled altogether.
Determined not to miss out, I explored alternative flights. The only option left was a midnight flight from Los Angeles. Upon arriving at LAX, I was greeted by yet another delay. Thankfully, I managed to board the flight at 1 a.m. and caught a few hours of sleep on the plane. Landing in Dallas at 7 a.m., I felt a wave of relief. Despite the hectic journey, I was finally there, ready to dive into the conference that started bright and early.
First Impressions of the Conference
Stepping into the event felt like walking into a biohacker’s dream! The Hilton’s ballroom was transformed into a biohacking haven, with booths from over 100 brands showcasing cutting-edge products and technologies designed to optimize health and longevity. The vibrant colors, sleek designs, and innovative setups of each booth were captivating. It felt like stepping into the future.
What truly stood out was the excitement in the air. Attendees mingled, exchanged ideas, and explored the exhibits with genuine curiosity and enthusiasm. The atmosphere was electric, filled with high energy. Everyone was glowing, beautifully dressed, and ready to learn and connect.
Day 1 at the Biohackers Conference
The first day of the conference was packed with activities, and my lack of sleep quickly became a distant memory as I immersed myself in the vibrant atmosphere and stimulating discussions. The day kicked off with an array of amazing keynote speakers who set the tone for the conference.

Brandon’s talk was particularly intriguing as he introduced a groundbreaking laser device designed to heal and reverse various health conditions. His passion for advancing human health was evident and the laser device he demonstrated promised benefits that sounded almost too good to be true. I was excited about the device’s potential and decided to purchase it.
Day 2: Discovering Innovations
As the sun rose on the second day of the Biohacking Conference, I felt a renewed sense of energy and anticipation. The morning started with a rush of activity. I attended several sessions, each more captivating than the last. One of the highlights was an inspiring talk by Dr. Joe Dispenza. His session was about the power of the mind and how we can harness it to transform our health and well-being. Joe’s presentation was a blend of science, spirituality, and practical advice. He emphasized the importance of mindset in achieving longevity and optimizing human performance.
His insights on meditation and mental resilience were particularly impactful. I left his session feeling empowered and eager to implement his techniques into my daily routine.
Later, I attended an insightful session by Daymond John from Shark Tank. Daymond’s talk was a refreshing mix of entrepreneurial wisdom and health insights. He shared his personal journey into biohacking and how it has revolutionized his approach to business and life. Daymond emphasized the importance of investing in oneself and continually seeking new ways to enhance performance and longevity. His stories of overcoming challenges and pushing boundaries resonated deeply with me, reinforcing the idea that biohacking is a journey of constant learning and growth.
Between sessions, I explored the exhibitor hall, which was a showcase of cutting-edge technologies and products. One standout was Stemregen, a pioneering company focused on stem cell therapy. I was fascinated by their approach to generating new stem cells through a simple pill. Meeting the owner and learning about their groundbreaking research was truly inspiring. Stemregen’s products promised to revolutionize the way we think about aging and cellular regeneration, offering a practical and accessible way to support our body’s natural healing processes.
As the morning turned into afternoon, it was time to recharge with some much-needed fuel. I headed to the dining area where Danger Coffee was being served. This isn’t just any coffee—it’s a blend specifically designed to enhance mental clarity and physical performance. The rich, bold flavor was a perfect pick-me-up!
Lunch was another highlight, featuring a delicious spread of flavorful grass-fed burgers and fresh, organic vegetables. The attention to detail in the meal offerings was impressive and the meal itself was both satisfying and energizing.
In between bites, I mingled with other attendees, sharing stories and insights. One conversation led me to another fascinating product—an NAD supplement from a company called Nuchido run by a young scientist. Her NAD supplement promises to enhance energy levels and support cellular health. Intrigued by the science behind it, I decided to add it to my growing list of biohacking tools!
Day 3
By now, I had fully immersed myself in the rhythm of the event. The keynote sessions on this final day were spectacular. The speakers brought so much knowledge and fresh perspectives on biohacking and longevity. Each session reminded us how much more there is to learn and explore in this field.
One standout session focused on nitric oxide and its profound effects on health. The speaker explained the science behind this crucial molecule, highlighting how it supports cardiovascular health, enhances athletic performance, and even improves skin vitality.
As I wandered through the exhibitor hall, I stumbled upon another gem: Prana Pancakes. This superfood-packed, buckwheat-based pancake mix is loaded with mushrooms and adaptogens. The idea of starting my day with a breakfast that not only tasted great but also supported my body’s stress response and overall health was too good to pass up. The owner was there to share his story and passion for creating health-conscious foods. We had a great conversation, and I ended up purchasing several bags of the pancake mix to try at home.
The sense of community was one of the most remarkable aspects of the conference. Everywhere I turned, there were opportunities to meet new people and exchange ideas. It was heartwarming to see how supportive and collaborative everyone was, always eager to share their knowledge and experiences.
As evening approached, the conference room was transformed into a lively Western saloon, complete with hay bales, cowboy hats, and country music. Everyone was ready to have a great time. The cowboy-themed party was the perfect way to unwind after three days of intense learning!
The Goddess Circle: My Personal Highlight
Among all the incredible experiences at the Biohacking Conference, one stands out as particularly meaningful and transformative: the Goddess Circle. Co-hosted with my dear friend and partner, Sarah Glynn from Dragonfly Health.
The Goddess Circle was born from a desire to create a supportive space where women could connect, share their experiences, and uplift each other. It was a special event dedicated to the women in biohacking, aiming to foster a sense of community and collaboration among the female leaders and pioneers in the field.
With the Goddess Circle, Sarah wanted to create a circle of trust and support, where each woman felt valued and empowered. It was a space where we could share our journeys, celebrate our successes, and discuss the unique challenges we face as women in a predominantly male-dominated industry.
Biohackers Magazine covered the event and committed to featuring the women in attendance, highlighting their contributions and achievements in the industry. This recognition was not just about celebrating individual successes but about showcasing the collective power of women in biohacking.
The Goddess Circle was an empowering experience on many levels. We discussed everything from cutting-edge technologies and wellness practices to personal growth and work-life balance. One particularly moving moment was when we went around the circle, sharing our personal journeys and what brought us to biohacking. There was a sense of connection as we opened up about our challenges and triumphs.
Being surrounded by such incredible women was a reminder of our collective strength and potential. We left the circle feeling inspired, supported, and ready to take on the world.
