Summary
In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, my guest is known as "the woman who wants to genetically engineer you," and a leading voice for genetic cures.
Liz Parrish founded and serves as CEO of BioViva Sciences USA Inc., a bioinformatics company actively working to extend healthy lifespans using gene therapy. It’s looking specifically at how gene therapy works in humans and how regenerative genes work in human bodies. Its partner company, Integrative Health Systems, helps people get access to these technologies today.
A strong champion of progress and education for the advancement of gene therapy, Liz firmly supports our right and our ability to hack our own DNA.
And she definitely walks her talk: In 2015 she became the first person in the world to take dual gene therapies to treat aging. One of the ways was to use adeno-associated virus, called AAV. “AAV doesn't essentially do what old gene therapy does,” she explains. “So, you don't get sick when you take it, because if you get sick then you're going to not uptake the genes. … And viruses are still the best gene delivery method there is. They get genes into the nucleus.”
“Remember, these viruses are modifying you every year,” Liz says. “You get viruses and influenzas and things like that and they all do their little dance. We're just making them do a dance that only up-regulates therapeutic genes.”
From increased muscle mass to mitochondria, and from clinical trials to affordability, our conversation about gene therapy takes you into new territory. Listen on to learn more about Liz’s personal experience, her longevity work, and how you can shape your own genes.

| 0:08.3 | that is just repairing a little bit. It's at least 180 is the goal. |
| 0:14.8 | If we can make repair over damage, you create more repair in your body than you create damage, |
| 0:21.9 | you know, people who put time limits like a thousand years, that's just, why would a |
| 0:27.3 | thousand years be on that? |
| 0:35.3 | Bulletin Proof Radio, a state of high performance. |
| 0:38.9 | You're listening to Bulletin Proof Radio with Dave Asprey. |
| 0:43.1 | When you're stacking your biohacks, one of the most important things you can do is make |
| 0:46.9 | sure that you recover properly because you get rest. That's when your body recovers. In |
| 0:53.0 | fact, that's part of the laziness principle from my book Smarter Not Harder. One of the |
| 0:57.7 | things I like to use is an infrared sauna like Sunlighten. That's because you actually |
| 1:03.6 | rest while you're in the sauna, but more importantly, it makes you get really good sleep |
| 1:08.3 | at night. There are tons of studies that show that sauna heat works really, really well. |
| 1:15.1 | The kind of deeply effective rest you get when you get out of the sauna is what retardes |
| 1:19.9 | you physiologically and mentally. Better yet, because you're detoxing in the sauna, you'll |
| 1:24.8 | be able to handle the stress that you face every single day. |
| 1:28.9 | Sunlighten has four sauna collections. Each has a different combination of light and heat |
| 1:33.5 | and invest in your rest. Go to sunlighten.com slash Dave. |
| 1:38.3 | Mention Dave Asprey and you can save up to $600 on your sauna. |
| 1:43.6 | Today's cool fact of the day is that CRISPR human trials are showing early promise. Now, |
| 1:51.0 | if you've lived under a rock or you've never heard the show before, you might think that CRISPR |
| 1:54.8 | is something that is what happens in the refrigerator door or where the lettuce is started. But for the |
