"There is an invisible consciousness inside of you that controls what you see in the world. And it
has a third of a second to take action. So don't believe everything you feel."
These are the words of master biohacker extraordinaire Dave Asprey as he is busting bubbles big time with me, Tai Lopez, on what it takes to live to 180 – and change your outlook on life in the process.
The bubble-busting starts with working 'Smarter not Harder' – the name of Dave's new book – as he vents on our human propensity to gullibly swallow the self-improvement advice we're being fed and waste time exercising, eating kale, and sleeping 8 hours a day when there simply isn't the scientific evidence to back it up.
Veganism, red light therapy, trace minerals, replacing your blood, having stem cells injected into your dick, and the benefits of taking a cow with you to a desert island are all covered in this fascinating insight into the mind of a mad scientist biohacker who, quite frankly, is onto something.
Dave and I go way back and there's a casual tone to this urgent conversation that makes it as palatable as the coffee he is endorsing, or the laidback lifestyle he is recommending.
It is no exaggeration to say that this podcast – and the contents of Dave's new book – will be quoted for years to come as the rest of us play catch up. Come and get it!
"What does it profit a man to gain the world but lose their health?" ~ Tai Lopez
“Working hard doesn't get results. That's a false belief instilled in you by churches, by teachers, by coaches, and by people afraid of the fact that our biology is lazy and if we're not in charge of ourselves we are wired by Mother Nature to lay on a couch to make sure we don't use too much energy." ~ Dave Asprey

0:00.0 | Welcome everybody to today's episode. This is a reunion episode last time Dave Asprey was in my garage. |
0:09.0 | The here in my garage in the Hollywood Hills. I think that was either 13 or 14. It's been about a decade. |
0:15.0 | Some like 13 14. It must have been around 14 I would guess. That was in the books Lamborghini books Lamborghini phase. |
0:24.0 | That was the books in really you're you were in my garage 2014. That was pre here in my garage. You were the original one that saw the garage. |
0:32.0 | It was still getting put together when I was there. Yeah, so that was 2014 because I got that that Ferrari I got in and for Halloween 2014. |
0:42.0 | So I remember it vividly. Well, we're going to jump into this. I'm I follow you on Instagram. So I see a lot of your bio hacking. |
0:52.0 | I'm super myself. I've been over the last five years. I did this kind of million dollars. I spent about 250 grand a year testing every health hack. |
1:02.0 | Learn some things from you and your books in your social media and learn from as many smart people. So you know, I talk about the four pillars of good life. |
1:12.0 | And a lot of entrepreneurs figure out how to make money. But what is what is a profit of man to gain the world but lose their health right. |
1:21.0 | I wanted to just jump in and just because you've done so many things you've got bulletproof your best selling author. I see you blowing up on social media. |
1:31.0 | Yeah, if you were this is a question that came up with I was thinking about this podcast ahead of time and I was like, Dave, you're on a desert island. |
1:41.0 | You're Gilligan's Island. You're going to be there for three. You're going to be there for three years. You know it's going to happen. You're going to be isolated. But you'll be okay. It's a tropical island. There's enough water. |
1:52.0 | But you can only have three foods. What are the three foods you're bringing with you to the desert island. I've asked myself is around it and you're smart guys. I wanted to get your input. |
2:02.0 | I mean logically speaking, it would have to be a female army ranger. |
2:07.0 | Because they can make anything into food. And if that doesn't work, you could eat them because they're made out of meat. So like, how could you lose? |
2:15.0 | Okay. So that's one is another human who knows. All right. We have a little cannibal. We're going to be in the middle of the red and fast fasting practice. But hey, you know, if worse comes the worst, there you go. What would I bring? I would bring a cow. |
2:33.0 | Because you can eat a cow. It also makes milk. You didn't tell me the food had to be dead. No, that's a good answer. That's a valid answer. I would also just bring like the whole cow ground up into a patty with all the organ meats, even though it tastes kind of gross. |
2:45.0 | Except I couldn't really preserve it. Unless you give me a free. And then we're going to have, you know, maybe the jacuzzi in a freezer. Can we add those? |
2:52.0 | Sure. Yeah. |
2:54.0 | Sure. Yeah. So you're like, have you ever, there's a, have you ever heard a Weston price? He wrote a book like the bull diet. I talked a lot about that. Yeah, you need beef. It's, it's actually necessary for a bunch of reasons. |
3:09.0 | You're going to be able to catch fish on a desert island or something if you, if you really want to. But honestly, the highest nutrient thing is going to be the cow and the dairy grass fed dairy, one of the reasons you see grass fed yogurt and butter all of the place, all the foods. |
3:23.0 | With bulletproof, we created a global shortage of grass fed butter in 2014 back when we met literally someone went to jail for trying to smuggle grass fed butter from Norway and just because they were such a shortage. And I totally did that because there's always articles in Ireland like look what the young sub putting in the coffee now and all this crazy stuff. |
