Summary
OMG you guys I had so much fun interviewing Dave Asprey for his second time on the show, and our first time doing it in person. I have been a fan of Dave since day one — as you’ll hear me gushing in the episode, I was an original Bulletproof customer, and Jonathan (my husband) was one of their literal first customers ever!
World-renowned biohacker and bestselling author Dave Asprey reveals how to maximize your well-being with the minimum effort, by taking control of your body’s operating system. We hit it off and talked all things living optimally, spirituality, veganism vs. non-veganism (you know he has thoughts on this!!), kale (LOL but really), how to bio hack your body and get the best results possible, postpartum, anxiety, minerals & heavy metals, and so much more.
If you want to lose weight, boost your energy, or sharpen your mind, there are shelves of books offering myriad styles of advice. If you want to build up your strength and cardio fitness, there are plenty of gyms and trainers ready to offer you their guidance. What all of these resources have in common is they offer you a bad deal: a lot of effort for a little payoff. Dave Asprey has found a better way.
His new book Smarter Not Harder: The Biohacker's Guide to Getting the Body and Mind You Want is about helping you to become the best version of yourself by embracing laziness while increasing your energy and optimizing your biology.

| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a DR Media Production. |
| 0:08.3 | Hey guys, it's Jordyn Younger, your host of the Balance Plod, Solon Fire Podcast. |
| 0:13.1 | Here we go deep on all things, astrology, awakening, wellness, motherhood, |
| 0:18.0 | channeling, aliens, and so much more. We have deep conversations, we go to other realms. |
| 0:23.9 | It's a lot of fun, so stick around, let's dive on in. I cannot wait to connect. |
| 0:33.6 | Hello and welcome back to the Balance Plod Podcast Solon Fire. I am so happy that you're here. |
| 0:39.2 | If this is your first time listening, we are thrilled that you made your way to the show. |
| 0:43.8 | You picked a fantastic episode to start with because Dave Asprey is the real OG. |
| 0:50.2 | So if you listened to last week's episode with the fantastic Janette Aronda of Shot the Killup, |
| 0:56.0 | we realized that Janette was on the podcast six years ago to the day. |
| 1:01.2 | And the same freaking thing happened with Dave except it was two years ago also to the day. |
| 1:07.2 | And I'm just kind of blown away by these synchronicities. I feel like when people recur in our lives |
| 1:13.5 | at specific times of year or on specific dates, there's always a meaning for that and a higher |
| 1:19.4 | spiritual purpose. And when I met Dave in person, because the first time he was on my podcast two |
| 1:25.5 | years ago was virtual, I just felt this instant connection to him and I think you guys will hear it |
| 1:31.5 | in this episode. I've been a fan of Dave and Bulletproof since the early days. I've been drinking |
| 1:37.6 | Bulletproof coffee and going to the Bulletproof upgrade cafe in Santa Monica since it opened. |
| 1:43.6 | And I can just remember my old apartment when I lived by myself back when I started this podcast |
| 1:49.5 | and was truly obsessed and getting into health and wellness in a whole new way. And I would wake up |
| 1:55.9 | every morning, make my Bulletproof coffee with MCT oil and butter. At the time, I was obsessed with |
| 2:03.1 | all the Bulletproof products and I still am. And I also would eat the Bulletproof bars constantly. |
| 2:09.1 | And beyond that, I would read all of Dave's books about biohacking. And he is the father of biohacking. |
