Summary

Dave Asprey outlines an affordable biohacking stack under $200 to enhance longevity and performance. He emphasizes optimizing sleep through red LED bulbs, blackout curtains, and blue-light-blocking glasses to regulate circadian rhythms. For daily energy, he recommends creatine, L-theanine, and MCT oil to fuel the brain without glucose spikes. Finally, he suggests spermidine and magnesium glycinate to trigger autophagy and support deep sleep for cellular repair.
