Summary
How do you fast for better brain performance?
Today, I’m excited to welcome back our very first guest, Dave Asprey, to the show to talk about fasting for your brain. Dave is a Silicon Valley tech entrepreneur who’s also known as “The Father of Biohacking.” He is a three-time New York Times bestselling science author and host of the Webby award-winning podcast, Bulletproof Radio.
Here to discuss his new book, Fast this Way, Dave expounds on his journey to losing 100 pounds and turning his brain back on. He shares the dangers of over-fasting, the powerful impact that fasting can have on your personal development, and more!
According to Dave, much of the challenge of fasting is mental and not just about willpower; it’s about belief systems. He teaches his audience how to feel safe getting on the fasting journey.
If you’ve ever considered fasting or wondered how to do it “the right way,” this episode is for you.
