Inside the Conversation Between Dave Asprey and Rowena Gates on How NanoVi® Enhances Cellular Repair, Supports Mitochondrial Function, and Promotes Longevity Through Biophysics.
When two pioneers in human performance sit down to talk, the conversation rarely stays on the surface. In this powerful exchange, Dave Asprey – the “Father of Biohacking” – and Rowena Gates – co-founder of Eng3’s NanoVi®- dive into a subject that could reshape how we think about cellular repair, recovery, aging, and mitochondrial function.
And how NanoVi helps do that work for you.

“When you’re concentrating, you’re burning more oxygen and will have more oxidative damage. If you can clean up that damage on the fly, and improve the whole cellular environment, you’ve got more brain endurance.”

Why Water Isn’t Just Water
Most people think of hydration as simple – drink more water, feel better. But as Rowena explains, it’s not about quantity; it’s about quality. Inside every cell, water molecules need to be organized into a special, energized state known as ordered water or exclusion zone (EZ) water. Ordered water supports protein folding and helps counteract oxidative stress that damages cells during exercise or aging.
This “ordered” form of water surrounds proteins – the molecular machines that perform nearly every function in the body. When that water is in its ordered state, proteins can fold correctly, carry out their roles, and drive everything from muscle recovery to cognitive clarity.
NanoVi technology uses precise electromagnetic wavelengths to support the formation of this ordered water, amplifying the body’s natural repair process at the most fundamental level – without chemicals or pharmaceuticals.
The Biohacker’s Proof: What the Data Shows
Dave Asprey has used NanoVi for more than eight years. As he told listeners, “You can feel that it’s doing something.” But beyond the subjective experience, the numbers are what capture the attention of performance-driven minds.
In independent testing and pilot studies discussed on the podcast, users experienced measurable, immediate gains in key health and performance indicators:
One 20-minute NanoVi session improved VO₂ max by 7.8% – roughly the equivalent of adding more than a year of life expectancy based on established longevity correlations.
Dave put it best:

Dave put it best:
“An hour of cardio five days a week gives you about a 2% VO₂ max improvement in two months. One NanoVi session gives you 7.8% in 20 minutes.”

These improvements in HRV (heart rate variability) and oxygen efficiency show measurable gains in recovery and performance.
Additional findings included:
• 11% improvement in the body’s oxygen utilization
• 9% higher oxygen metabolism in the prefrontal cortex of the brain
• 12% increase in cerebral blood flow – better brain performance and endurance
These changes are linked not just to better performance but to slower cellular aging and enhanced resilience.
Mitochondria: The Body’s Power Grid
One of the most fascinating insights into mitochondrial function came when Rowena and Dave discussed mitochondria – the “power plants” of your cells. But as Rowena points out, they’re not isolated engines. They’re a connected network – a power grid.
“Mitochondria aren’t just little energy factories; they talk to each other. Their connectivity determines how well your body can produce energy, repair damage, and stay resilient.” Rowena Gates
In pilot studies, daily use of NanoVi for 30 days improved mitochondrial connectivity by 12%. That means the mitochondria were communicating more efficiently – essentially, upgrading the body’s internal power grid.
Better communication at the cellular level translates to sharper cognition, stronger recovery, and greater resistance to stress and fatigue.
Less Stress. More Repair.
One of the most remarkable findings shared on the episode was NanoVi’s effect on stress response.
In tests measuring heart rate variability (HRV) – the gold standard for assessing nervous system balance – just 15 minutes of NanoVi use led to a 45% drop in the stress index and a 19% rise in parasympathetic activity, the “rest and repair” mode of the body.
That’s not a placebo effect. It’s biophysics in action.
“Even ten minutes is enough to shift the body out of stress mode and into repair mode.”
-Rowena Gates
The result? A calmer nervous system, faster recovery after workouts or travel, and better adaptation to daily stress.
Biophysics, Not Biochemistry
Dave summarized it perfectly:
“NanoVi isn’t an antioxidant. It doesn’t block the stress response. It makes your cells more efficient – it helps them do what they already know how to do.”
That’s the philosophy at the heart of Eng3’s work. NanoVi doesn’t override biology – it supports it. By helping the body maintain the ordered water environment needed for optimal protein folding and reducing oxidative stress, it allows repair, regeneration, and communication to happen more efficiently.
It’s not about introducing a new substance into your body. It’s about optimizing the medium through which all cellular functions occur – water itself.
For Those Who Demand More from Themselves
It’s no surprise that Dave Asprey keeps NanoVi in his daily routine – often using it while meditating, reading, or recovering from travel. For athletes and high performers, NanoVi® helps sustain mitochondrial function and supports long-term cellular repair for peak endurance.
• Faster recovery after exertion or stress
• Improved focus and cognitive clarity
• Support for longevity and cellular resilience
Rowena explained it best:
“The body knows what needs to be done. NanoVi improves how the work gets done.”
NanoVi technology bridges cutting-edge science with practical, daily wellness – a perfect alignment for those who don’t just want to live longer but want to live better, sharper, and stronger every step of the way.
When Biophysics Becomes Performance
In a world obsessed with quick fixes, NanoVi stands apart – a tool grounded in physics, validated by data, and trusted by some of the most discerning minds in health optimization.
It’s not magic. It’s measurable.
And for those serious about recovery, longevity, and peak performance, it’s quickly becoming essential.
A single NanoVi session improved mitochondrial function and autonomic regulation – measurable proof that the body’s internal communication can be upgraded.
