Biohacking pioneer Dave Asprey talks to Rob about everything from why veganism is a scam to why your angry outbursts are destroying your business. The former 300-pound computer hacker turned multi-millionaire entrepreneur reveals how he lost half his body weight, built a £140M company, and why most people are unknowingly sabotaging their success. Asprey's controversial views on supplements, sleep tracking and emotional regulation will either change your life or make you very angry.
Dave Asprey REVEALS:
- The vegan diet is a health scam
- How your body decides your emotions
- That all human behaviour follows five F-words: Fear, food, fucking, friend and forgiveness
- Calories don't make you fat
- How forgiveness is a biological hack
- How your energy field controls your company's success
- How venture capitalists remove your rights and equity bit by bit, always claiming it's for your own good or safety
BEST MOMENTS
"The vegan diet. Straight up health scam. I was a devout vegan, I became a raw vegan... I lost bone density, I lost muscle, and I finally shattered three teeth."
"If I can trigger you, it means you're carrying a loaded gun. If you can be triggered, you are not in charge."
"Your job as an entrepreneur... you must be the most regulated, stable, peaceful person in the room all the time."
"The biggest lie is that calories count... eat a gram of uranium. It has a million calories. You should get fat. But strangely, they don't get fat."
"So I could go from being a fat computer hacker with Asperger's Syndrome into a person who is connected to my emotions"

| 0:00.0 | Dave, what's the weirdest health hack you've ever tried? I can think of two of them, |
| 0:06.4 | and they both had to do with digestion. I used to have such problems with my gut. I used to weigh |
| 0:14.5 | 300 pounds, which is a whole lot of stone, 50% more than I weigh now. I think it's like 20 stone, but don't quote me on that. |
| 0:23.8 | And I was just, I'd done antibiotics a lot. |
| 0:26.6 | So I had just the worst gut and it stressed me out all the time. |
| 0:30.4 | So I bought 25 years ago a pill from Russia that was an electrical stimulating pill. |
| 0:37.0 | And it was pretty big and you swallow it and it shocks your gut every five seconds to strengthen |
| 0:42.1 | the muscles. |
| 0:43.0 | And I'm sitting there going, you know, my body's kind of jerking. |
| 0:47.8 | And then it got stuck somewhere on the left side and my left leg would just kick every |
| 0:52.3 | five seconds. |
| 0:53.3 | And I was kind of a little, I'd jump it up and down, laying on my side. and my left leg would just kick every five seconds. |
| 0:57.6 | I was kind of a little jumping up and down, laying on my side. |
| 0:59.3 | And finally, it came out. |
| 1:01.8 | And the instruction said you could wash it and use it again. |
| 1:03.2 | And I just threw the line there. |
| 1:05.1 | So that was one. |
| 1:10.6 | I've also tried taking pig whipworm eggs because one of the ways of modulating your immune system |
| 1:13.7 | is with parasites and pig whipworms cannot reproduce in humans so you take them they're there |
| 1:19.5 | for a little while it's called helman therapy and it's people with things like ibs and crone's disease |
| 1:25.7 | have had full remissions from one brief interaction with |
| 1:29.6 | a parasite that can't reproduce. But it's pretty weird to be, you know, swallowing eggs from parasites, |
