0:00.0	Hey everyone, welcome to Health Theory. Today's guest is Dave Asprey's back for Round 2.
0:05.2	And if you don't know Dave, he is the Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur and New York Times
0:09.6	best-selling author of several books, including Headstrong, Game Changers, and most recently Super
0:16.0	Human. He's also one of the world's most famous biohackers, the founder and CEO of Bulletproof,
0:21.5	and the host of the Top 10 Podcast Bulletproof Radio. Dave, welcome back.
0:27.3	It's always fun to come to your house and see the amazing stuff you're working on.
0:31.3	Do you have me? Of course, and speaking of working on Man, you and I share an obsession with the
0:36.0	new book, You're Living To 180. So your book opens with one of my favorite quotes of all time,
0:42.8	which is Do Not Go Gently into that good night, rage, rage, rage against the dying of the light.
0:48.7	Why start there? How has this become your obsession? It's funny. There's a very old
0:55.6	restaurant in Berkeley, California. In fact, my parents used to eat their, my mom was pregnant with me.

1:10.5	into the restaurant there. So I remember when I was a little kid, my grandfather reading that quote to me.
1:15.7	And I remember my grandfather was passing away. He was in his 80s and he came down with an
1:21.7	autoimmune kidney condition and he sat down and he said, well, I'm a PhD scientist, chemist.
1:28.0	And I know that if I work really hard, I might get to the point where I can sit at home and be
1:33.8	well enough to watch golf and do dialysis twice a week for the rest of my life. I don't want that.
1:39.2	So I'm going on the wine diet. And he said, call the family. And he said, what's that mean? He said,
1:45.1	I'm only having wine, no water, no nothing else. So everyone flew in and he passed away a few days
1:50.4	later, literally doing exactly what he said. He just had a few sips of wine every one or two,
1:54.3	but he decided he was going to go. Let's talk about that for a second. So I'm actually really interested
1:59.2	in this. So like if I knew that that was a one way street, as much as I want to live forever,
