Summary

Dave Asprey, the father of biohacking, joins me to explore the revolutionary concept of meditation for the modern brain in his new book "Heavily Meditated." Dave shares his journey from being a stressed, overweight, and unhappy tech executive to discovering how ancient wisdom combined with cutting-edge technology can permanently remove emotional triggers. We dive deep into why traditional meditation is outdated for today's brains and how different meditation techniques can be matched to your specific needs – just as you'd choose the right diet or exercise for your goals. Dave reveals his powerful "reset process" that helped me overcome my own trauma years ago at 40 Years of Zen, explaining how we can finally free ourselves from reactive patterns that drain our energy and relationships. It's a game-changer for perimenopause and menopause when hormonal shifts leave us with less margin for emotional triggers. What you’ll learn: Why traditional meditation approaches may not work for your unique brain and how to choose the right technique for your specific needs How our bodies operate on an "F-word" hierarchy (fear, food, fertility, friend, forgiveness) that drives our reactions before we can even think The reset process to permanently eliminate triggers that have been draining your energy for decades Why women in perimenopause and menopause particularly need these tools as hormonal shifts reduce their capacity to handle unresolved trauma How combining biohacking with emotional healing creates true wisdom – the perfect foundation for becoming a respected elder Ways to identify your earliest trauma patterns without extensive therapy or analysis The importance of energy management for both physical and emotional health after 40 Love the Podcast?
