In a recent post on his blog, biohacker and entrepreneur Dave Asprey outlined the strategies he uses to build resilience—physically, mentally, and emotionally. He framed resilience not just as endurance, but as adaptability and performance under stress.

“Resilience is your ability to stay calm, adapt, and perform no matter what life throws at you,” wrote Dave Asprey in the article.

Asprey explained that true resilience isn’t about powering through exhaustion or pushing harder—it’s about intelligent recovery, preparation, and stress regulation. His suggestions included using breathwork to regulate the nervous system, cold exposure to train the body’s stress response, and prioritizing sleep as a foundation for emotional control and physical performance.

He also highlighted the role of nutrition and mitochondrial health in energy resilience, suggesting that strategies like intermittent fasting and supplementation with ketones or minerals can help maintain high performance under pressure.

Asprey emphasized that building resilience is a conscious process, and the benefits compound over time—improving clarity, confidence, and recovery during life’s most demanding moments.
