Upgrade Labs, the world’s first Human Upgrade™ Center and brainchild of “Father of Biohacking” Dave Asprey, is opening a new location in Lake Nona, marking the brand’s entrance into the Sunshine State. Located at 6424 Alexandra Louise Dr. Suite 130, Orlando, FL, 32827, Upgrade Labs Lake Nona is set to open in early April, and will be marking the occasion with a Grand Opening Celebration in the coming months. Brand founder and best-selling author Asprey is anticipated to attend the Grand Opening, and will be available for book signings and tours.
The Lake Nona location is owned by Ralph Quintero and his daughter, Carolina, who are on a mission to bring transformative health solutions to the community. After spending 25 years building and leading a successful software company, Quintero sold his business to take control of his own health after battling years of debilitating illness, suffering from brain fog and other serious complications that prevented him from living his life. Traditional medicine offered no answers, leading him to explore advanced alternative solutions and discover Asprey’s work on human performance and longevity. After meeting Asprey in person and experiencing the profound impact of these technologies firsthand, he knew he wanted to bring Upgrade Labs to others. Rather than retire in his remote home, Quintero made the decision to move to Lake Nona specifically to open Upgrade Labs, believing the city’s reputation as a "Living Lab" built around health and wellness aligns perfectly with the brand’s mission. He hopes to one-day expand the brand further into Florida, and open other locations in Orlando.
“After regaining my health, I wanted to provide something that truly empowers people to feel their best, not just in one area, but across all aspects of health,” said Quintero. “Doing this with my daughter makes it even more meaningful, and we couldn’t think of a more natural fit for Upgrade Labs than a community that’s already filled with people who want to perform at their best and extend their health span.”
To further connect Upgrade Labs with the existing local health and recovery community, Cait Rainey, Longevity Health Coach and founder of Conscious Nona, will join the team as a Biohacking Technician and Brand Ambassador. Conscious Nona is a well-known local initiative creating a community that empowers individuals through education and resources to unlock their full potential, making Rainey a strong addition to the Upgrade Labs team.
“Everyone needs recovery—pain, stress, and inflammation steal energy that could be fueling a sharper mind, a stronger body, and a longer life,” said Rainey. “Through Conscious Nona, I’ve built a community centered on education and creating spaces for people to recharge and take control of their health. Upgrade Labs is the perfect extension of that mission, providing a comprehensive, data-driven approach that helps people restore energy, reduce inflammation, and optimize their bodies and minds. I’m thrilled to introduce my community, and the greater Lake Nona area, to these cutting-edge technologies and help more people unlock their full potential.”
As interest continues to rise in new approaches to health, Upgrade Labs is a pioneer in human potential and longevity, integrating science-backed services with AI-powered data collection and technology. The brand is the only facility built to tackle most common health issues in one place, offering fitness, performance, recovery, and cognitive function tools that deliver measurable results with minimal time investments. Each piece of technology has been personally tested and selected by Asprey to ensure the most effective solutions across all categories. Rather than relying on separate treatments and guess work, members receive real-time data through the brand’s Cell Health Analysis and performance assessments which lead to metric driven and personalized solutions that enhance results while reducing unnecessary effort. Recent data analysis shows significant reductions in members’ body fat and improvements in body composition and metabolic function and metabolic function. With effective and time-efficient technologies, Upgrade Labs provides a faster, smarter, and more effective way to fight aging, improve recovery, and push the limits of human potential.
“Most people don’t realize that the way they approach health today is inefficient—excessive exercise, stress, and a lack of recovery actually speed up aging,” said Asprey. “Upgrade Labs is designed to unlock the keys to looking better, feeling better, and living longer through the most effective and time-efficient methods. Ralph and Carolina’s passion for this mission, combined with Cait’s deep community ties, makes this the perfect team to bring Upgrade Labs to Lake Nona.”
