Summary

Uprising Food sponsored this podcast. Dave Asprey partners with Uprising Food as an advisor and investor.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE...

… you’ll learn about bread that’s better for your body—and the important role of prebiotics and fiber in that equation. You’ll also find out about the science that supports new ways of creating bread products—what works and why it works. And you’ll get a look further into the food system and how to adopt solutions with real benefits for your energy and lifestyle.

A 5+ year biohacker, intermittent faster, and cyclical keto devotee joins the show to talk about innovations in bread as you know it. William Schumacher, co-founder and CEO of Uprising Food—aka—”The Loafer and Chief”— traded in corporate life as a former Procter and Gamble marketer to sift through the disinformation to de-villainize bread and create products that taste good and work in synergy with your body.

With all the gluten-free and alternative breads out there competing for attention, what made Uprising stand out to Dave Asprey? Simple. Uprising took action to:

  • tackle the foundational things that give people disproportionate bang for their buck when they eat the products day in day out. 
  • figure out what’s NOT in the product. Most products are loaded with things that are doing damage and there’s a big-time cost. 
  • eliminate gluten and other inflammatory ingredients.
  • choose ingredients that would produce a tasty, functional product and work in the gut to enable inside out transformation.
  • partner with artisanal bakers willing to experiment with baking methods and ingredients. The star ingredient? Psyllium. In this conversation, you’ll get all the details on prebiotic fiber and the benefits of activated psyllium, a bio-active polysaccharide.


Research done at Wright State University Microbiome Labcompared Uprising Food bread with traditional bread. Early results show that Uprising’s prebiotic bread makes nice with gut microbiota.

Curious about bread again? Check out the Uprising Food “Toast Cleanse,” affectionately known as “72 hours to digestive deliverance.” This 3-day protocol includes super toast combinations and levels of bread eating designed to overhaul your microbiome.

Today, I'm recording this episode for you on the road, because it's my son's 13th birthday,

0:22.4

so I'm recording it.

0:23.4

So I am taking him to Grandfiles House, so if you see a weird background, or I sound

0:28.2

a little bit different, well, now you know.

0:29.9

And this episode is a really cool one, because it's about bread.

0:37.8

And you could say, what do you mean, bread?

0:39.6

I thought bread was bad for you.

0:41.6

Generally speaking, yeah, it's full of grains.

0:46.2

And I have ever since I first went on the Atkins diet, if you remember that in the late

0:53.4

80s, early 90s, that was basically the grandfather of Keto.

0:58.6

And you could never get a low-carb bread that tasted like anything you'd want to eat.

1:04.2

It was always like eating an omelet.

1:06.4

I mean, truly atrocious.

1:08.1

I have made hundreds and hundreds of different types of gluten-free low-carb bread that would

1:16.5

be suitable on a Keto phase of a diet, or just a general lower- and moderate-carb diet.

1:22.4

And I failed every single time.

1:25.0

I published weird recipes with way protein, and this is the close-legged con, but I kind

of gave up on it and wrote it off as impossible.

So this show is to tell you about how you actually can do that and how it works, because I found
