Summary

Today, I’m back for part 2 of my conversation with Dave Asprey. In this episode, we get into the controversial health practices and daily routines that have transformed his health and energy. Dave reveals his complete daily protocol, including cold plunges, infrared saunas, and the shocking revelation that he takes 150 supplements daily. He challenges conventional wisdom about exercise ("it doesn't make you lose weight"), nutrition ("vegan diets were my biggest mistake"), and controversial testosterone optimization protocols that he's followed since age 26. Dave Asprey is the founder of nine companies, including Bulletproof, Danger Coffee, TrueDark, and Upgrade Labs. He's authored bestselling books including "The Bulletproof Diet," "Head Strong," and his newest release, "Heavily Meditated." Dave is credited with creating three unique billion-dollar markets: MCT Oil, Collagen Protein, and Functional Coffee.

0:07.6	Welcome to part two of my conversation with Dave Asprey, the father of biohacking and the founder
0:13.2	of Bulletproof Coffee. In this episode, we dive into the health hacks and daily routines
0:18.4	that transformed his life. Dave reveals why exercise won't help
0:22.3	you lose weight, why going vegan was his biggest mistake, and why he's been on testosterone
0:26.9	since the age of 26. He also breaks down the surprising protocols he follows, including taking
0:33.5	over 150 supplements a day. Whether you're deep into biohacking or just curious,
0:40.4	this episode offers a rare look into the extreme practices
0:44.4	of someone who spent $2 million optimizing his body
0:48.8	to live to 180.
1:01.1	Before we dive into today's episode, I first want to thank our sponsor, Therasage.
1:07.6	Their trite panel has become my favorite biohacking thing for healing my body.
1:12.5	It's a portable red light panel that I simply cannot live without. I literally bring it with me everywhere I go. And I personally use their red light therapy to help reduce
1:17.9	inflammations and places in my body where honestly I have pain. You can use it on a sore back,
1:24.7	stomach cramps, shoulder, ankle. Red light therapy is my go-to. Plus,
1:30.2	it also has amazing anti-aging benefits, including reducing signs of fine lines and wrinkles on your
1:36.4	face, which I also use it for. I personally use Therisage trite everywhere at all the time. It's small, it's affordable, it's portable, and it's
1:47.8	really effective. Head over to Therisage.com right now and use code B-Bold for 15% off. This code will work

2:22.3	Do you feel that they're still as effective as people thought? Like, do you feel, is there anything else on the market that's coming out that's even
2:26.3	more potent that people are not aware of?
2:29.3	We're learning more and more.
