Summary

Be honest: when you think about aging, do you associate a negative connotation? We’ve been led to believe that getting older goes hand-in-hand with persistent aches and pains, hearing loss, and cognitive decline.  Aging is a biological process, but it doesn’t have to be so dire. In fact, what if you could become stronger, healthier, and more vibrant with each passing year? For over 20 years, Dave Asprey, the father of biohacking, has been on a mission to test and redefine widely held beliefs about human biology. His personal goal is to live to age 180, and he believes that you too can make smarter, science-backed choices to live a longer, healthier life.  In his new book, Super Human, Dave outlines the Seven Pillars of Aging and the four major killers in our modern world. His work consists of the most cutting edge, game-changing, and scientifically proven insights that you can use to age backward, support your biology, and increase your lifespan.  Today you’re going to learn about your ability to ensure a long and healthy life through making simple, logical decisions. You’ll hear Dave’s personal story of transforming his health, why we’re entering an epidemic of wisdom, and why simply making better choices (and not perfectionism) is the key to successful aging. Enjoy!  In this episode you’ll discover: How Dave went from an arthritic teenager to the father of biohacking.  Why being sick is often similar to being colorblind.  How Dave healed his knees with collagen.  The functional health benefits of using tracking poles.  How your perspective can change your behavior. Why the future will be an epidemic of wisdom. How taking care of your body is like maintaining your car.  The four main killers in our modern world. Why cancer kills humans half as often than it used to.  What you need to know about eating animal fats. The anti-aging properties of glucosamine.  Why mitochondrial biogenesis is, and how to trigger it.  What zombie cells are.  The three foods that Dave would eat in a zombie apocalypse. How to control your inflammation by altering the ratios of fat you eat.  What advanced glycation is, and how sugar consumption can cause it.   How sunlight exposure can help you sleep better.  Items mentioned in this episode include: Organifi.com/Model ⇐ Use the coupon code model for 20% off!
