Summary
Biohacking is the art and science of changing the environment around you, and inside of you, so you have full control of your own biology.
In this Episode, Dave tackles everything from scientists discovering a new way to grow neural stem cells from blood to hacking your brown fat to feel better, to the impacts of sleep on heart disease, to a claim that carbs are good for you, to diagnosing genetic orders with a selfie.

| 0:00.0 | Hey, I'm Dave Asprey and this is Biohacker News, a segment of Bulletproof Radio. |
| 0:07.6 | Biohacking is the art and science of changing the environment around you and inside of you |
| 0:12.0 | so they have full control of your own value. |
| 0:17.0 | Once I'm extra neurons, the key might be in your blood. Scientists at Edelberg University, |
| 0:21.4 | Hospital in Germany and University of Innsbruck in Austria figured out a way to re-program |
| 0:26.1 | human blood cells into neural stem cells. Thanks to some genetic hacks, it's the first time |
| 0:31.2 | reprogrammed stem cells have actually multiplied and grown in a lab. The ability to grow those |
| 0:36.3 | new brain cells that actually work is a massive deal for treating neurological conditions like stroke, |
| 0:42.0 | Parkinson's, maybe Alzheimer's, or even just aging. Stem cells are like the playdo of the human |
| 0:47.5 | body. They're ready to be shaped into any kind of tissue the body needs, including brain cells, |
| 0:51.7 | if you get the right stem cells. But getting anything out of the blood and making it turn to |
| 0:55.8 | anything else is a complete game changer. So if you want to strengthen your stem cells and make more |
| 0:59.5 | of them, you could get stem cell therapy. And if you can afford it, I would highly recommend this |
| 1:04.3 | bank your stem cells. If you bank your stem cells, what happens is they pull some fat out from |
| 1:09.9 | viscure lower back and put them in a cryo facility so that even if you're 100 years, years from now, |
| 1:16.4 | you can get stem cells that you're taking out when you were 25 or 35 or even 55. So having young |
| 1:21.2 | stem cells that were frozen in time to make you younger later, very good investment cost you |
| 1:26.0 | probably a thousand or two thousand dollars a year. But if you don't want to go into the needle, |
| 1:30.3 | you could activate your stem cells using some bulletproof lifestyle hacks, like improving the |
| 1:34.4 | quality of your sleep, reducing or managing stress. You could cut out sugar, you could try fasting, |
| 1:39.5 | bulletproof intermittent fasting. In fact, you could read headstrong, which is pretty much a |
| 1:43.2 | menu of how to increase mitochondria and at the same time make your stem cells work better. In a 2010 |
