Longevity, Trauma Recovery, Circadian Health, Ramadan Fasting & Biohacking 

Your nervous system may be aging you faster than your diet. Learn how childhood programming, stress, sleep, fasting, resilience, and environment shape longevity, healthspan, metabolism, and human performance, and discover why some of the most powerful upgrades for your biology have nothing to do with supplements, nootropics, or the latest biohacking trends.

Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Elie Abirached, a Dubai-based longevity and biohacking strategist, Harvard alumnus, founder of Limitless Human, and CEO of Restore Fitness. After being smuggled out of Lebanon during the civil war as a teenager, he built a career helping high performers improve healthspan, resilience, recovery, metabolism, and longevity. Today he is one of the Middle East’s leading voices in biohacking, healthy aging, human performance, sleep optimization, and lifestyle-driven longevity. 

Together, they explore why Dubai has become a global hub for biohacking and longevity, how extreme heat, light exposure, fasting, and modern lifestyle habits affect human biology, and why nervous system health may be one of the most overlooked drivers of long-term performance and anti-aging. They also dive into trauma, neuroplasticity, emotional resilience, metabolism, brain optimization, sleep quality, and the hidden programming that shapes your reactions, relationships, and health outcomes. 

You’ll discover what the Middle East gets right about health and longevity, why resilience may be one of the most important predictors of healthy aging, and how your environment influences everything from recovery and mitochondria to sleep, energy, and mental performance. This episode offers practical insights for anyone interested in biohacking, human performance, longevity, fasting, sleep optimization, metabolism, brain optimization, emotional resilience, and building a stronger, more adaptable nervous system.
