Summary

For years, I’ve been talking about how if I could choose one single method of cardiovascular training to do the rest of my life, it would be the use of this strange “VASPER" machine that holds a hollowed place in my home gym.

It’s a bit difficult to describe, but essentially VASPER combines blood flow restriction/compression, cold thermogenesis, and full-body high-intensity interval training in a single 21-minute workout that seems to give the same benefits as, a comparable 2- to 3-hour workout of running, cycling, swimming, etc. It’s truly something I consider to be the ultimate biohacking “shortcut” to getting fit.

Don’t give me wrong: it’s a challenging workout when you use VASPER, but when you combine all of the technologies within this impressive unit, the fitness payoff is huge.

In today's chat with Peter Wasowski, we unravel the magic behind VASPER, merging compression, cooling, and high-intensity workouts. We'll touch on its unique effects on body temperature and blood flow, and even get a sneak peek at the upcoming VASPER Breath device. Whether you're a fitness novice or a seasoned biohacker, this chat with Peter offers insights you won't want to miss.

My name is Ben Greenfield, and on this episode of the Ben Greenfield Life Podcast.

The fact is that when you use katsu, you're compressing the muscle well over 100 millimeters of mercury.

0:12.1

When you're using anything that goes over 150, it goes as high as 250 millimeters of mercury,

0:19.2

you're compressing peripheral venous return, you're compressing deep veins,

0:23.8

and you're compressing some arterial flow.

0:26.2

Are you're correct that they have an air controller that actually tells you,

0:30.7

basically, you can regulate, you can reduce that, and you can increase it,

0:34.4

you cannot do that with a cheap lens that you just talked about.

0:37.7

But the fact remains that you're applying a very significant pressure

0:42.3

that goes way beyond the venous return.

0:46.4

What we do with VASPER is the default pressure on VASPER is 65 millimeters of mercury on your legs,

0:53.4

and 40 millimeters of mercury on the arms.

0:56.2

So what we're doing there is just applying very low peripheral venous return that is below

1:04.5

your diastolic levels. So when you're on VASPER, your arms and legs are anaerobic,

1:10.9

but your chest is anaerobic at the same time.

1:13.3

You cannot do that with katsu or any other device that applies pressure over 100 millimeters of mercury.

1:23.6

Faith, family, fitness, health, performance, nutrition, longevity,

1:32.9

ancestral living, biohacking, and a whole lot more.

1:37.0

Welcome to the show.

1:45.8

All right, so I got a question for you.

1:47.8

What do you think the health of your gut actually affects?

1:53.8

Now, most people have answers like digestion or pooping or bloating, etc.
