Summary

Pre-order Keto Flex Revised and get free bonuses at: https://bit.ly/4wKG1sM Why do some people hit their 40s and 50s already fighting belly fat, brain fog, and fatigue, while others feel incredible in their 60s and 70s? Ben Azadi sits down with Dave Asprey, the founder of Bulletproof and the man who put biohacking on the map, to break down what actually drives how fast you age, and how much of it is in your control. What we get into: Why there is no single "anti-aging" answer, and how it comes down to your mitochondria and your own biology The "take less hits" principle, and the everyday hits quietly aging you (starting with light at night) Why community may be the single most powerful longevity tool there is The testosterone conversation most doctors are still too scared to have, and where Dave thinks Peter Attia got it wrong Biological age vs calendar age, aging clocks, and the two dead-simple predictors of how long you will live Nicotine as a longevity and brain tool, the right dose, and why quitting cold turkey can backfire GLP-1 drugs, seed oils, olive oil, and the one fat most people are missing A wild real-world case: the gut bug behind an ED problem that no medication could fix One line to remember: don't chase what's supposed to work, chase what actually works. Guest: Dave Asprey, founder of Bulletproof, the father of biohacking, and creator of the Unlimited Life longevity program.

Dave, good to be back with you here in Austin, right before your 14th year in a row of your

0:06.7

conference, now called Beyond. You know, something I noticed from my YouTube channel,

0:11.9

my audience is primarily 40s, 50-year-olds, and most of them are complaining about gaining

0:18.3

stubborn belly fat, brain fog, fatigue, no matter how much sleep they get.

0:23.7

Maybe they should just work out more and eat less. What do you think?

0:26.4

That's what most people say. Yeah, it's a calorie issue.

0:30.4

But there's also a subset of people that are in their 60s and 70s that feel awesome. So what makes

0:35.8

the difference here between somebody who's aging out a faster rate versus

0:38.7

somebody's actually aging a lot slower?

0:40.7

Well, this has been a question since my mid-20s when I started working in the longevity

field.

And over the last two years, I've been doing something called unlimited.

1:12.2

of it. And the answer is, there is no answer because it's different for every person. We've been

1:17.8

programmed for a very long time by big medicine, big pharma, to think about, oh, well, if it works for

1:24.0

the average person that's going to work for you, but you and I are not average. And if you're listening to this, you're not average. You might have average one thing and totally not average something else. So the trick is for one person, it may be a sulfur pathway issue. For another person, it may be mTHFR. For another person, they've had this thing in their gut for a long time. They shouldn't. Another person may have a genetic difference

And sometimes they're big and they don't even know.
