Summary

272: Dave Asprey is on the pod today, and this is basically a dream come true for me. When I first started this podcast three years ago, my producer asked me to create a wishlist of the top people I wanted to interview—and Dave Asprey was #1 on that list. So it's such a treat to bring this interview to life and share our intellectual conversation with you all. In case you haven’t heard of him, Dave Asprey is the father of biohacking. He founded Bulletproof Coffee, and he’s the author of several bestselling books, including his newest 2025 release, Heavily Meditated. In our conversation, Dave talks about how the mind can alter our state of being and actually change the way the body functions. He shares tools to help improve your health—whether it’s digestion, weight loss, cognitive function, energy production, or more. We also dive into some controversial topics, like peanuts, nutritional yeast, long COVID, Botox, and of course, his recent facial surgery—what he did, how he recovered, and why antibiotics are a necessary part of the process. He shares tips and tricks for recovery, including what supplements to take and what foods to eat. And if you're dealing with infertility, even after age 40, Dave has tips for that too! Topics Discussed: Why you should blend your coffee His weight loss journey Why Dave recently got a facelift The type of facelift he chose Botox What everyone should ask their surgeon before getting anesthesia Recovering after surgery and antibiotics How to support mold detoxification Nutritional yeast Peanuts, nuts to avoid, and low-oxalate nut options Stevia As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at [email protected].
