Summary

Dave Asprey is the creator and bestselling author of "The Bulletproof Diet." He biohacks health. And discovers innovative ways to live longer, lose weight, increase brain function and evolve better. My brain isn't hacked (yet). So I needed to talk to Dave. We did a podcast and I asked him "how do you evolve better?" Shortcuts: - [14:00] - Energy is scarce. We get tired. So I asked Dave what he does specifically to enhance his energy levels? - [21:40] - Aging is scary... Dave told me what he takes every day to slow down the aging process. This is importance because the environment is affecting how we age. We live in WIFI dense areas. We're constantly stressed. Our diets fluctuate and so on. "We call it aging. Over time, your ability to power your body goes down, and that doesn't have to happen. It is within your control to fix it," he said. "You can tell the battery in your body to recondition itself and you can give it a better power source. Or you can let it slowly grind down..." - [39:50] - I never know what to eat. Once time I went on an all fruit diet. Another time I fasted for three days and passed out while playing ping pong with friends. Dave told me what to eat and what to avoid. He even told me which foods are worse than cigarettes. - [44:40] - "I like to go all in," Dave said. He told me exactly what he does from the moment he wakes up. - [53:00] - I asked Dave, "What do we do to evolve better?"  He told me how to take charge of your body and manage stress.   -- Hey James here.

0:15.4

The other day I saw a help wanted ad for a self-driving car engineer, right?

0:21.7

So five years ago that would have been like an ad out of Blade Runner, like a science

0:25.7

fiction ad. But now we live in a science fiction universe and you can't train for

0:31.5

these jobs. They're new help wanted ads. So it's sort of like you have to surrender to

0:36.8

the change that can happen as well and be okay with it. Yeah.

0:41.6

At the same time that you're depressed. Yeah.

0:43.6

The guy could be depressed. Like I've been doing a podcast for many years. I've been writing

0:47.9

similar types of articles for many, many years, running businesses for many years. I

0:53.2

always think about change and what could be the change in my life. But you kind of have

0:56.9

to sometimes surrender to that uncertainty and just explore many options.

1:01.3

And isn't depression really lack of your expression?

1:04.4

Hmm. Yeah. Never thought of that way.

1:13.6

I like podcasting so much because I get to watch one of my favorite movies and then just simply

1:19.5

call up the movie producer and say I have a billion questions about the whole process.

1:25.2

I don't want to ask you like how did you get into this? How did you?

1:28.4

And then he tells me these amazing stories about his life. So I say come on the podcast and he does.

1:32.9

So welcome Scott Steindorf to the James Altichor show. How's it going?

1:37.5
