Summary

Today on the show we have the Father of Biohacking himself, Dave Asprey. Over twenty-five years ago, Dave found himself overweight, overworked, and an unhealthy entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. He was faced with a choice: improve his health, or live a much shorter life span. That set him on an almost multi-decade journey to not only live, but thrive and share his knowledge with his community. That work lead to him founding Bulletproof 360, a company helping to uncover innovative methods, techniques, and products for enhancing mental and physical performance. Yet it doesn't stop there. He has also written two New York Times bestselling books and is host of the award winning podcast Bulletproof radio. And yes, he is the creator of the global phenomenon Bulletproof Coffee and Bulletproof diet.

In this episode we get into Dave's latest book, Fast This Way: Burn Fat, Heal Inflammation, and Eat Like the High-Performing Human You Were Meant to Be. Some of the topics we over:

common myths around fasting
how to exercise while fasting
how to hack your sleep for increased energy
how fasting drives mental clarity and can help you live longer
how variation in what we do creates resilience
and so much more

Enjoy!
