Live to 180! The Father of Biohacking Reveals The Secrets to Longevity with Dave Asprey Jun 13, 2024

Show notes

In his twenties, Dave Asprey's health was a wreck. His testosterone levels were lower than his mother's, he weighed 300 pounds, and he suffered from a host of debilitating conditions like chronic fatigue syndrome, arthritis, and brain fog. Desperate for answers, Dave turned to a group of longevity experts in their eighties who were thriving with more energy than he had. Under their mentorship, he discovered the keys to reversing aging and maximizing vitality at any stage of life. And he’s here to reveal it all.

Now at age 51, Dave's biological age is 39, and he recently underwent gene therapy that may revert him to 30. His mission is to make these longevity techniques (that create "epic superhumans" out of 20-year-olds) accessible to all through his companies, books, and the global biohacking movement he founded.

While Dave aims to live to at least 180, he emphasizes that the goal isn't just lifespan, but healthspan—looking and feeling better at 100 than you do today, with all the wisdom and vitality to match. With human biology knowledge doubling every 73 days, he believes a 50% improvement over today's maximum lifespan is achievable in our lifetime.

Whether you're young and focused on gaining an edge, or older and seeking to turn back the clock, Dave Asprey is living proof of the life-changing power of biohacking. Tune in to learn how you too can upgrade your biology to become "an impossible human."

"Everything that makes old people young again, makes young people more powerful and functional and aware and conscious." ~ Dave Asprey

Why "Healthy" Foods May Be Making You Sick, And What To Do For A Healthier, Longer Life - Dr. Gundry Jun 13, 2024

Show notes

Have you ever felt like you're doing everything "right" for your health, but still feel lousy? The truth is, even the healthiest-seeming diets can be sabotaging your well-being if your gut is in trouble. And the scary part? Most doctors don't even know how to spot the signs.

In this episode, I hosted Dr. Steven Gundry, a man who has revolutionized the way we think about health and disease. As a former heart surgeon, Dr. Gundry's journey from the operating room to the forefront of gut health research is nothing short of remarkable.

During our conversation, Dr. Gundry shared the pivotal moment that changed the course of his career. It all started with a patient named "Big Ed," who challenged Dr. Gundry's conventional understanding of health and nutrition. This encounter sparked a relentless pursuit of the true root cause of disease, leading Dr. Gundry to the gut.

Through years of research and clinical experience, Dr. Gundry discovered an undeniable link between leaky gut and a host of chronic illnesses, from autoimmune disorders to heart disease and even cancer.

But there's hope. Dr. Gundry offers practical, science-backed solutions for healing the gut, optimizing nutrition, and reversing disease. He shares the two most important blood tests for longevity, the power of time-restricted eating, and the surprising benefits of cold toast.

Dr. Gundry's insights will challenge your beliefs, expand your understanding, and inspire you to take charge of your well-being.

"All disease begins in the gut. Perhaps another way of thinking about this is death begins in the gut." ~ Dr. Steven Gundry
