In episode 906 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes sits down with Kash Kahn to reveal why fitness and health are not the same. They explore environmental toxins, mold exposure, gut health, chronic inflammation, mitochondrial function, genetic testing, hormones, TRT, male fertility, seed oils, metabolic health, and longevity. Kash explains why removing harmful inputs may matter more than adding treatments, and how your genes, food, home, stress, movement, and daily habits can shape long-term health.

You've seen the ads. You've heard the buzz. But do you actually know what peptides are — or what they're doing inside your body? In this first episode of a three-part series, Jamie Preston sits down with Dr. Melissa Jones, a 25-year clinical pharmacist and VP at Your Health, to lay the foundation every patient and provider needs before entering the peptide conversation. Dr. Jones brings rare credibility to this space — she didn't come in as a believer, she came in as a scientist who was challenged to learn, and what she found changed how she practices. What you'll hear in this episode: Why insulin is a peptide — and why that means peptides have been in your medicine cabinet for years How BPC 157 and TB 500 work together to signal the body to heal — and the real patient stories behind that science Why GLP-1 medications like Mounjaro and Ozempic are peptides, and how they actually produce weight loss The difference between peptides and steroids (hint: one sends signals, one messes with your hormones) Why "research use only" labels are a red flag — and why compounding pharmacies matter more than you think What providers need to start asking patients right now Whether you're a patient who's been curious or a provider who's been hesitant, this episode gives you the grounded, evidence-informed starting point you've been looking for. Part two goes even deeper — but this is where it begins. www.YourHealth.Org

Tiffany Kaloustian was told lupus was basically the end of the life she expected. In her twenties that landed like a life sentence — heavy meds, little education, and a lot of grief. We talk about what changed when she stopped wearing the diagnosis as her identity and started treating healing like a dance: hard days included, mindset and nervous system first, and food and root-cause care that actually moved her markers. If you have been living under a diagnosis like it already decided your future, this episode is for you. Come for the honesty. Stay for the reminder that a label does not get the final word.

There is one molecule your body already makes that helps protect your cells from aging, but your production of it drops as you get older.In this video, I explain why glutathione is known as the body's master antioxidant and why it plays a critical role in cellular defense, mitochondrial energy, immune regulation, and liver detoxification.You'll discover why aging is not just your body “wearing out,” but the slow breakdown of your internal repair and antioxidant defense systems.You'll also learn:-Why oxidative stress damages mitochondria and accelerates aging-How glutathione helps protect cells from daily stress-Why your liver uses huge amounts of glutathione for detox support-The difference between oral, liposomal, IV, and topical glutathione-Why delivery matters if you want your body to actually use it-How to stack glutathione with sleep, protein, sunlight, training, and saunaTry Danger Creatine: https://dangercoffee.com/products/danger-creatineTry TrueDark glasses: https://truedark.comTry Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/discount/davetubeTry Suppgrade Labs: https://shopsuppgradelabs.com/Thank you to our sponsors!ECHO Water | Go to http://echowater.com/daveand use code DAVE10 for 10% off your ECHO Flask.The One Device | Use code DAVE for $10 off at theonedevice.com/daveiRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE00:00 – Intro: The Anti-Aging Molecule02:59 – The Vicious Decline Cycle04:15 – Step 1: Lower Oxidative Load05:00 – Step 2: Support Mitochondria05:41 – Introducing Glutathione08:54 – Oral & Liposomal Glutathione10:02 – IV Glutathione10:17 – Topical/Transdermal Delivery11:23 – The Glutaryl Solution12:47 – Daily Routine & Final ThoughtsConnect with Dave Asprey!Website: https://daveasprey.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daveaspreyofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.asprey/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Daveaspreyofficial/X: https://x.com/daveaspreyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/daveaspreybprThe Human Upgrade Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/TheHumanUpgradePodcast/ https://m.facebook.com/Thehumanupgrade/Dave Asprey's BEYOND Conference: https://beyondconference.com/Dave Asprey's New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/Dave's favorite supplements: https://www.shopsuppgradelabs.com/discount/DAVE15Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com40 Years of Zen: https://40yearsofzen.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What if the real question isn't "Which peptide should I take?" but "Do I need one at all?"Peptides like Ozempic (GLP-1 medications), BPC-157, MOTS-c, CJC-1295, and other bioactive peptides have exploded in popularity for weight loss, fat burning, muscle recovery, longevity, metabolism, and anti-aging. But are they truly the best solution—or could they be masking the underlying problem?In this episode of Accelerated Health with Sara Banta, I break down the science behind today's most talked-about peptides, who may actually benefit from them, their potential risks and side effects, and why supporting your body's natural healing pathways may be just as important.If you're considering peptides—or you're simply curious whether these trending treatments are worth the hype—this is an episode you won't want to miss.Supplements Featured In This Episode:• Acceleradine® Iodine https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/acceleradine-iodine-supplement • Accelerated Fast® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-fast-supplement • Accelerated Ancient Salt® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-ancient-salt-4-oz• Accelerated Liver Care® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-liver-care• Accelerated Methylene Blue® https://www.acceleratedhealthproducts.com/products/accelerated-methylene-blue-supplementNot sure what food to eat and avoid?

Viagra's Cancer Signal, TV's Toll on Your Brain, Heat and Accelerated Aging, and a New Way to Flush Your Brain Explained Viagra's Active Ingredient May Block Cancer From Spreading A study published in Cancer Research from the Weizmann Institute of Science, in collaboration with Clalit and the U.S. National Cancer Institute, found that sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, may interfere with cancer cells' ability to metastasize by disrupting how they regulate cholesterol, a resource tumors need to detach and invade new tissue. The team combined mouse models and human cell cultures with more than twenty years of medical records covering roughly five million people, and found better survival outcomes among about forty thousand cancer patients who had taken sildenafil before diagnosis. Researchers also flagged a possible combination effect with statins. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why this cheap, off-patent drug class deserves more attention than it's getting, and where it fits alongside his own longevity protocol. Source: https://www.healthline.com/health-news/viagra-may-stop-cancer-from-spreading-study ~~ Heavy TV Watching In Midlife Tied To Alzheimer's-Related Brain Changes A nearly twenty-four-year study published in Alzheimer's & Dementia followed more than 1,700 adults, tracking TV habits in their early fifties and scanning their brains in their mid-seventies. Men who watched more TV showed greater white matter damage and smaller frontal and occipital lobes, while women showed no such association. Critically, people with desk jobs that kept them sedentary all day did not show the same brain changes, and the TV association held even after adjusting for exercise levels. Host Dave Asprey unpacks why passive screen time, not sitting itself, may be the real driver here. Sources: https://www.the-independent.com/life-style/tv-time-linked-alzheimers-study-b3023054.html https://alz-journals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/alz.71582 ~~ Ambient Heat Exposure Linked To Faster Biological Aging A Science Advances study of 3,686 older adults linked neighborhood-level heat index exposure to accelerated biological aging using DNA methylation clocks. Short-term heat exposure moved one clock significantly, while exposure sustained over a full year or six years moved all major clocks, with extreme-caution heat days tied to nearly a three-year jump in one aging measure and a five percent faster overall aging pace on another. Researchers point to inflammation and stress signaling as likely drivers. Host Dave Asprey explains why this is a fundamentally different kind of heat story than the sauna and cold-plunge conversation biohackers are used to. Source: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adr0616 ~~ Industrial Chicken Farming May Be Accelerating The Spread Of Drug-Resistant Bacteria A genomic analysis of nearly 2,800 bacterial samples from chickens and wild birds across thirty countries, published in PNAS and covered by The Guardian, found a roughly hundredfold increase in Campylobacter strain transitions between wild birds and farmed chickens since 1900. Global chicken populations have grown sevenfold since the 1960s to about 27 billion birds, and researchers identified genetic adaptations tied to antimicrobial resistance developing inside that population. Sixty to eighty percent of human Campylobacter infections trace back to raw chicken, with links to post-infectious IBS in some cases. Host Dave Asprey connects the dots between industrial farming density and the gut-health stakes for anyone who eats chicken.

In a study of thirty Parkinson's patients and thirty-three healthy controls, a single thirty-minute session produced measurable increases in blood levels of beta-amyloid, alpha-synuclein, and other waste proteins associated with neurodegeneration. The VA's Technology Transfer Program is now developing a patent and prototype device. Host Dave Asprey explains why this gives breathwork protocols a real physiological mechanism instead of just a hunch. Source: https://www.research.va.gov/currents/0426-Exciting-new-treatment-being-developed-for-Parkinsons-Alzheimers.cfm ~~~ This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity enthusiasts, and high-performance listeners who want mechanism-level insights into an overlooked cancer drug repurposing story, the real difference between passive and active screen time, a new angle on heat as a biological stressor, the hidden gut-health cost of industrial poultry farming, and a breathing technique that may unlock your brain's own detox system.

Can women improve fat burning and metabolic health without keto, extreme fasting, or restrictive dieting?In this episode of the Wise Divine Women Podcast, Dana Irvine welcomes health and lifestyle coach, podcaster, author, and business consultant Jenn Trepeck for a practical conversation about women's metabolism, blood sugar, fasting, functional nutrition, and sustainable wellness.Jenn shares how her own weight-management journey inspired her transition from business into health coaching. After learning the nutrition information many of us were never taught, she was able to change her relationship with food and move beyond chronic dieting.Together, Dana and Jenn explore why fat loss is not simply about eating less and exercising more. Blood sugar, insulin, muscle mass, stress, sleep, hydration, minerals, meal timing, and mindset all influence how the body uses and stores energy.Jenn explains why restrictive diets such as keto may not be sustainable or supportive for every woman. Instead, she encourages women to build a strong health foundation, listen to their body's signals, and create habits that allow flexibility, nourishment, and joy.How women can burn fat without ketoHow blood sugar and insulin affect fat storageWhy chronic under-eating may slow progressThe relationship between stress and metabolismWhy muscle supports metabolic health and longevityFasting considerations for womenThe importance of hydration and mineralsBiohacking versus Jenn's concept of “biostacking”How to build realistic and flexible wellness habitsWhy accountability and small wins matterHow to rebuild trust with your bodyBlood sugar balance is essential for metabolic health. Balanced meals containing protein, fiber, healthy fats, and quality carbohydrates can support steadier energy while reducing cravings and blood sugar crashes.Eating less is not always better. When the body senses ongoing restriction or stress, it may conserve energy rather than release stored fuel.Fasting is not one-size-fits-all. A woman's stress levels, sleep, activity, hormones, menstrual cycle, and overall nutrition should be considered before extending fasting windows.Jenn also introduces biostacking, the practice of layering foundational habits that work together. Hydration, balanced meals, movement, sleep, stress support, and mindset may create better long-term results than relying on one complicated wellness hack.Most importantly, lasting health does not require perfection. Flexibility and consistency are what make healthy habits sustainable.00:00 – Jenn's wellness journey02:20 – Listening to the body instead of diets05:30 – Burning fat without keto07:01 – Blood sugar, insulin, and fat storage10:54 – Under-eating, stress, and metabolism15:04 – Rebuilding trust with your body17:03 – Muscle, fat, and fuel storage19:05 – Fasting for women20:54 – Biohacking and biostacking23:48 – Building a health foundation27:05 – Hydration and minerals31:58 – Creating a flexible wellness plan34:04 – Celebrating progress35:59 – Closing thoughts and guest linksShe is the host of Salad With a Side of Fries and the author of Uncomplicating Wellness, a practical, science-informed guide designed to help people cut through wellness confusion and trust their bodies again.Website: https://saladwithasideoffries.comPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/salad-with-a-side-of-fries/id1476796444Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jentrepickBook: Uncomplicating WellnessFor support with hormones, metabolism, breast health, digestion, and whole-body wellness, visit DanaIrvine.com and book a Health Clarity Call.Subscribe to the Wise Divine Women Podcast, leave a review, and share this episode with a woman who is ready to stop fighting her body and start understanding it.

In this episode of The Breaking Free Podcast, I sit down with health educator and root-cause practitioner Jordan Davey for a deep dive into what it really means to reclaim your health in today's world. Jordan shares his remarkable journey from a lifestyle centred around partying and sport to dedicating his life to understanding psychology, neuroscience, functional medicine, and the true foundations of human health. Together, Jordan and I unpack why so many people are struggling with anxiety, fatigue, chronic illness, and burnout. Also, why simply treating symptoms often isn't enough. The conversation explores how gut health, nutrition, hydration, sunlight, movement, sleep, stress, and our modern environment all influence physical and mental wellbeing. Jordan also shares practical strategies for regulating the nervous system, including breathwork, grounding, inner child work, and building healthier daily habits. We discuss societal pressures around alcohol, the stigma surrounding mental health, the importance of questioning conventional approaches, and why taking ownership of your health has never been more important. In this episode you'll learn: The root causes behind anxiety and chronic illness. The gut-brain connection explained. Why sunlight, movement and nature matter. Functional medicine and whole-body health. Breathwork and nervous system regulation. The role of nutrition and hydration. Breaking free from unhealthy social conditioning. Building resilience physically, mentally and emotionally. Supplements and supporting optimal health. Creating sustainable habits for long-term wellbeing. Whether you're beginning your health journey or looking to optimise every aspect of your wellbeing, this episode offers practical insights to help you build a healthier, more resilient life.

Happiness is the enemy of the future. Happiness is like a mirage in the desert; it eludes your grasp when you most strive for it. And yet, in my first book, I wrote about how…“I've found the happiness that I didn't give a damn about…”Here I'll break down why not giving a damn about happiness makes you happier, quantitatively and qualitatively.

Urologist Dr. Alex Tatum on Girth Enhancement, Testosterone, and Peptide Therapy Most men will never ask their doctor the questions this episode answers. From safe, non-surgical girth enhancement to daily testosterone dosing to the peptides fighting for FDA access right now, this conversation covers what actually works, what's dangerous, and what your doctor probably won't bring up first. Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Alex Tatem, a board-certified urologist with fellowship training in male sexual and reproductive medicine. Dr. Tatem has built his practice and his YouTube following around pushing medicine beyond what the traditional medical establishment allows, with a focus on male girth enhancement, performance enhancement, peptides, and PEDs. They break down the real science behind penis enhancement, including why length surgery still does not exist, how hyaluronic acid injections safely increase girth, and why silicone and PMMA fillers have left men permanently disfigured. Dave and Dr. Tatem also get into cutting-edge testosterone dosing strategies, the peptides driving the biggest gains in human performance and longevity, including BPC-157, TB-500, SS-31, and MOTS-c, and why PT-141 has become the most talked-about peptide for libido and sexual health.

In this episode of the Rest, Eat, Move podcast, Matt explores the viral wellness trend of "health maxing"—the pursuit of optimizing every aspect of health through protein, supplements, cold plunges, sleep tracking, fasting, wearables, and more. While many of these practices have value, he argues that chasing perfection can create unnecessary stress, anxiety, and distraction from the fundamentals of long-term health. Instead of obsessing over the latest biohacks, Matt emphasizes sustainable behavior change through self-awareness, meaningful motivation, and small, consistent habits that build a healthy lifestyle for life.#HealthMaxing#WellnessPodcast#HealthyLifestyle#BehaviorChange#RestEatMoveontargetliving.com

I'm talking with Dr. Anik St. Martin, a chiropractor and author of Skin on Fire: Healing Psoriasis Naturally, who spent over 12 years battling psoriasis before discovering the one piece she'd been missing — her mindset. After years of dialing in her nutrition, supplements, and gut healing, Anik's skin finally cleared completely after a self-directed 5-day intensive where she did nothing but walk, observe her thoughts, and flip every self-deprecating thought to its opposite. We get into the science behind why this works — from a 1940s Harvard placebo study to real-time synaptic rewiring — and why the fact that your skin turns over every 21 days is actually great news. We also cover: • The environmental triggers that worsened her psoriasis (vaccines in one sitting, formaldehyde, tattoo ink) • Why obsessing over a "perfect" healing protocol can be just as harmful as the condition itself • Her go-to supplements and GI repair formula for managing flares • The one morning practice she recommends everyone start today If you've tried everything and still aren't where you want to be, this episode is worth your time.

You've probably tried everything to sleep better. Magnesium. Melatonin. Blackout curtains. Maybe even expensive sleep gadgets. But what if the real reason your sleep feels broken has nothing to do with any of those things?In this video, Dave Asprey explains a hidden biological process that controls whether your body stays in stress mode at night… or finally switches into deep recovery mode. He breaks down why so many people wake up exhausted, why cortisol stays elevated while you sleep, and why your body may never fully enter repair mode even if you're technically asleep.You'll learn how one overlooked habit affects your brain, metabolism, recovery, heart rate, and overnight repair systems, plus the surprising research that showed dramatic changes in sleep quality from a single adjustment. Once you understand this mechanism, you'll never look at sleep the same way again.Try Danger Creatine: https://dangercoffee.com/products/danger-creatineTry TrueDark glasses: https://truedark.comTry Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/discount/davetubeTry Suppgrade Labs: https://shopsuppgradelabs.com/I have spent twenty years and millions of dollars testing every legal focus drug I could get my hands on.

Locally, I haven't been able to find high-quality powdered Rhodiola and Schisandra, two of my favorite Adaptogens for energy, mood enhancement, immunity (important during the wintertime!), and libido. I did some research about European herbal vendors and decided on Indigo Herbs out of Glastonbury, UK.For every mentioned here, read: Indigo Herbs (UK)

Artificial Sweeteners & Cognitive Decline, Myosteatosis on Coronary CT, Merck's Oral PCSK9 Inhibitor, Cyclospora Outbreak, Gut-Brain Synchronization, and the Banana Smoothie Mistake Explained Artificial Sweeteners Linked To 62% Faster Cognitive Decline In Landmark Brazilian Study A study tracking more than 12,700 adults (average age 52) over eight years found that people consuming the most artificial and low-calorie sweeteners, roughly 191 mg a day, about what's in a single can of diet soda, showed cognitive decline 62% faster than the lowest-intake group, equivalent to 1.6 extra years of brain aging, with memory hit hardest. Six of the seven sweeteners tested, including aspartame, saccharin, and acesulfame K, were linked to faster decline; tagatose was the lone exception. Researchers point to gut-microbiome disruption, altered glucose and insulin signaling, and possible direct neuronal effects as plausible mechanisms. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why a dose this small was enough to move the curve, why tagatose deserves more scrutiny before being called "safe," and where diet products' short-term weight-loss marketing conveniently ignores the long-term cost to your brain. Source: https://www.inc.com/kevin-haynes/study-links-cognitive-decline-to-surprisingly-small-daily-amount-of-artificial-sweeteners/91376522 ~~ AI Analysis Of 1,722 Heart Scans Finds Muscle Quality Predicts Heart Attacks Independent Of Calcium Score Using data from the SCOT-HEART trial, a University of Edinburgh team ran an AI model against ten years of coronary CT angiogram scans, measuring skeletal muscle attenuation, a marker of myosteatosis, or fat infiltration into muscle tissue. Every 10-point increase in muscle density corresponded to a 31% lower heart attack risk and 39% lower all-cause mortality over the following decade, and critically, this held independent of coronary calcium score, the current gold-standard risk marker. The same low-density-muscle patients also showed higher lung attenuation, lower liver attenuation, and more torso fat volume, a pattern consistent with systemic insulin resistance rather than a muscle-specific issue. Host Dave Asprey unpacks why calcium score isn't capturing the full risk picture, why myosteatosis is really a readout of whole-body insulin sensitivity, and what he'd add to a routine workup on top of a calcium score. Source: https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/jun/30/strong-chest-back-less-likely-heart-attack-analysis ~~ FDA Approves First Oral PCSK9 Inhibitor, Cutting LDL By Up To 60% Without Injections Merck's enlicitide (brand name Lipfendra) is now FDA-approved as the first once-daily oral PCSK9 inhibitor, lowering LDL cholesterol by up to 60% in a phase 3 trial of 2,912 patients, routinely bringing levels down to 50-60 mg/dL. It works by blocking PCSK9, a liver protein that tags LDL receptors for destruction, the same target as injectable drugs like Repatha and Praluent, which have shown roughly 20% reductions in heart attacks and strokes in high-risk patients. Lipfendra is priced at $315 for a 30-day supply, with no excess side effects reported versus placebo over six months, though long-term outcome data is still pending. Host Dave Asprey explains why crushing total LDL without checking ApoB, LDL particle number, or oxidized LDL is optimizing the wrong variable, and what he'd want on his labs before considering a drug like this. Sources: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/science/the-fda-approves-a-new-pill-to-slash-cholesterol-levels.html https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/16/mercks-cholesterol-pill-gets-us-fda-approval.html ~~ Cyclospora Outbreak Tied To Taylor Farms Lettuce Spreads To 34 States, Prompts Nationwide Recall Federal investigators have linked a multistate cyclosporiasis outbreak to shredded iceberg lettuce from Taylor Farms de Mexico, with Michigan alone logging over 5,000 cases and 100+ hospitalizations, much of it traced to lettuce used at Taco Bell. Taylor Farms has recalled all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico, and Walmart has pulled Marketside Iceberg Salad and Marketside Shredded Lettuce with specific date codes across 27 states. Cyclospora spreads through fecal contamination and causes weeks of watery, explosive diarrhea if untreated; washing doesn't reliably eliminate it, since the parasite requires heat above 158°F to inactivate. Host Dave Asprey explains why pre-washed, pre-cut bagged greens remain a recurring contamination risk no matter what the label claims, and connects the outbreak's gut damage to lingering gut-brain consequences long after symptoms resolve. Sources: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/health/2026/07/18/taylor-farms-shredded-lettuce-sample-cyclospora/90969103007/ https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/investigation-5-state-outbreak-cyclospora-illnesses-iceberg-lettuce-july-2026 ~~ New Research Links Excessive Gut-Brain Synchronization To Anxiety And Depression Emerging research on the enteric nervous system, which contains over 100 million neurons and sends more signals to the brain than it receives, finds that when the gut's electrical rhythm synchronizes too tightly with the brain's, that over-coupling correlates with higher rates of anxiety and depression. The gut communicates with the brain through the vagus nerve, hormones, and immune signaling, and dysbiosis or ENS dysfunction has separately been linked to mood disorders in both human and animal studies. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why the goal isn't maximum gut-brain connection but the right kind of connection, questions whether the coupling is driving the anxiety or the anxiety is driving the coupling, and makes the case for treating mood from the gut up instead of the brain down. Source: https://refractor.io/medical/enteric-nervous-system-brain-link-mental-health/ ~~ Rhonda Patrick Explains Why She Never Adds Bananas To Her Berry Smoothies Rhonda Patrick has been telling audiences she skips bananas in her berry smoothies because of polyphenol oxidase, an enzyme in bananas that degrades the polyphenols in blueberries linked to improved cognition and vascular health, based on in-vitro and food chemistry data. She now builds her smoothies on an avocado base instead, and notes that vitamin C from citrus can partially inhibit the enzyme for anyone unwilling to drop the banana. Host Dave Asprey weighs in on the gap between lab chemistry and clinical outcome data, why that gap doesn't make the mechanism any less real, and why this is a low-cost swap worth making even without a human trial behind it. Sources: https://www.reddit.com/r/Biohackers/comments/1v2jbib/dr_rhonda_patrick_i_dont_add_bananas_to_my/ https://www.foundmyfitness.com/episodes/polyphenol-oxidase-bananas-smoothies ~~ This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity enthusiasts, and high-performance listeners who want mechanism-level insight into a sweetener risk hiding in everyday diet products, a heart attack predictor buried inside routine CT scans, the tradeoffs of a new cholesterol drug, a produce recall worth paying attention to, the science behind gut-driven anxiety, and a smoothie mistake that's quietly undercutting your polyphenol intake. Host Dave Asprey connects clinical research, cohort data, and food chemistry into practical frameworks for protecting brain health, cardiovascular health, and gut-brain resilience.

Fix Leaky Gut, Boost Testosterone & Slash Endotoxins with Spore-Based Probiotics | Kiran KrishnanYour bad gut bacteria might be the reason your testosterone, your immune system, and even your sperm count are struggling, and most probiotics never survive long enough to fix it. This episode reveals which strains actually make it through your stomach acid alive, and what happens once they do. Go To JustThriveHealth.com/asprey for a free 90 day supply of bitters with your next subscription. Host Dave Asprey sits down with research microbiologist Kiran Krishnan, co-founder of Microbiome Labs, the leading microbiome therapeutics brand among healthcare professionals. He has published multiple peer-reviewed studies, holds global patents, and has spent 20 years building companies focused on the science of the microbiome. His work centers on spore-based probiotics, the rare strains proven to survive the stomach's brutal acidity and actually rebuild the gut from the inside out. Kiran and Dave break down why 98 percent of conventional probiotics die before they ever reach your gut, and why spore-forming bacteria are different. They dig into the "gelding effect," the well-documented pathway where endotoxins from bad gut bacteria shut down testosterone production and drive up cortisol, and how fixing your microbiome can reverse it. They cover the connection between endotoxemia and nearly every major marker of aging, metabolism, and inflammation, why butyrate acts like a natural GLP-1 for fat loss, how Akkermansia can upregulate mitochondria and improve blood sugar control, and the surprising role vitamin K2 plays in bone density and functional medicine. This is biohacking at the cellular level, using ancient biology, fasting-adjacent metabolic pathways, and precision supplementation to optimize human performance from the gut up. You'll Learn: Why 98 percent of probiotics die in your stomach before they ever work What the "gelding effect" is and how gut bacteria can shut down testosterone How endotoxins drive inflammation, cortisol, and accelerated aging Why butyrate functions like a natural, low-cost alternative to GLP-1 drugs How Akkermansia improves mitochondrial function and blood sugar control The overlooked link between your microbiome and vitamin K2 production Why spore-based probiotics can survive gastric acid when most others cannot How 90 days of gut repair can measurably reduce circulating endotoxins Keywords: best probiotics that survive stomach acid, spore based probiotics benefits, gelding effect testosterone, endotoxins and testosterone, how to lower endotoxins, LPS gut bacteria, Akkermansia GLP-1 natural, gut bacteria and belly fat, vitamin K2 bone density, Kiran Krishnan microbiologist, Just Thrive probiotic, leaky gut symptoms, microbiome and testosterone, fecal transplant benefits, Dave Asprey, biohacking, longevity Resources: • Go To JustThriveHealth.com/asprey for a free 90 day supply of bitters with your next subscription • Learn More About All Of Just Thrive's Offerings At: https://justthrivehealth.com/ • Get My 2026 Clean Nicotine Roadmap | Enroll for free at https://daveasprey.com/2026-clean-nicotine-roadmap/ • Dave Asprey's Latest News | Go to https://daveasprey.com/ to join Inside Track today. • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/discount/dave15? • My Daily Supplements: SuppGrade Labs (15% Off) • Favorite Blue Light Blocking Glasses: TrueDark (15% Off) • Dave Asprey's BEYOND Conference: https://beyondconference.com • Dave Asprey's New Book – Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated • Join My Substack (Live Access To Podcast Recordings): https://substack.daveasprey.com/ • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com Thank you to our sponsors! - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.

Visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, Prenuvo MRI scans, and the truth about belly fat Your gut and your face are telling on you. This episode reveals why the fat under your skin might be protecting you while the fat around your organs is quietly wrecking your metabolism, heart, and longevity, and exactly what to do about the difference. Get $300 off your next Prenuvo MRI scan: https://prenuvo.com/?discount=Dave Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Sean O'Mara, a former undercover narcotics agent, criminal prosecutor, emergency medicine physician, and retired U.S. Army Colonel who assisted the White House and Senior Executive Service, treating Vice President Dick Cheney, former President Bill Clinton, and Secretary of State Colin Powell. Today he's recognized as the world's most experienced physician in eliminating visceral fat and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT), the inflammatory fat now linked to nearly every major chronic disease and accelerated aging. He founded Influence Medicine, a specialty built around helping senators, heads of state, and top executives optimize their biology so they can perform and lead at the highest level. Dave and Dr. O'Mara break down the real difference between visceral fat and subcutaneous fat, why a visible six-pack might signal hidden disease, and how MRI scans reveal what your mirror never will. They dig into the biohacking strategies that actually shift your body composition: fasting protocols that build beneficial fat instead of burning it away, microbiome optimization for fat metabolism, and the supplements and functional medicine tools Dr. O'Mara uses with his highest-performing clients. They also cover the gut-hormone connection driving modern metabolic dysfunction, why political leaders are quietly getting scanned, and what your face reveals about your visceral fat levels before you ever step on a scale. You'll Learn: The real difference between visceral fat, subcutaneous fat, and why one protects you while the other kills you Why a six-pack might be hiding disease your MRI would catch How a 72-hour fasting protocol can build the good kind of fat through adiponectin signaling What your face reveals about your visceral fat and longevity risk The gut-hormone connection driving testosterone, metabolism, and inflammation Why senators and world leaders are getting scanned for hidden fat How microbiome health, fasting, and functional medicine work together for fat loss and longevity Thank you to our sponsors! - Beyond Wonderland Conference | Oct 13 - 14, 2026.

If you've been eating well, doing all the right things, and still not feeling better — this one's for you. I sat down with Stephanie Nelson, a trauma-informed somatic coach and founder of The Stress Healers, to talk about something most health conversations completely miss: what happens in the body when stress and trauma don't get processed. Stephanie was diagnosed with arthritis, bursitis, and tendinitis in both hips at age 12. She spent years trying to heal through diet, yoga, and supplements — and while those helped, it wasn't until she discovered nervous system and somatic work that things actually shifted. In this conversation, we get into: • Why your nervous system — not your diet — is the master coordinator of your health • What fascia actually is and why it's your body's richest sensory organ • How perfectionism, procrastination, and anxiety are all adaptive survival strategies (not character flaws) • The three body languages we're born with — and how Western culture teaches us to ignore two of them • Why the goal of somatic work isn't to be calm — it's to have *choice* • A simple 10-second practice you can do today to signal safety to your nervous system Stephanie also shares how her forever-free "Resourced" membership is a great starting point if you want to actually try this work.

Most people think biohacking is only for billionaires with access to expensive machines, private clinics, and million-dollar anti-aging protocols. But the truth is, some of the most powerful upgrades in your biology start with the basic signals your body receives every single day.In this video, Dave Asprey breaks down how to start biohacking with around $200 by focusing on the foundations that control your sleep, energy, focus, and cellular repair. These are the simple changes that can create a massive difference before you ever spend money on advanced technology.If you've ever wanted to feel sharper, recover better, sleep deeper, and support your body's natural repair systems without wasting money on random gadgets, this video shows you where to start.Try Danger Creatine: https://dangercoffee.com/products/danger-creatineTry TrueDark glasses: https://truedark.comTry Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/discount/davetubeTry Suppgrade Labs: https://shopsuppgradelabs.com/I have spent twenty years and millions of dollars testing every legal focus drug I could get my hands on. In this video, I break down which compounds actually work, which ones are a waste of money, and the exact stack that delivers hours of clean focus without the afternoon crash.The shift is simple: focus isn't a willpower problem. It's an energy production problem inside your brain. Once you fuel it at the cellular level, deep focus stops being a struggle and becomes the default state.Thank you to our sponsors!

Shawn Stevenson On The Science of Family Meals, Oxytocin, and LongevityYour dinner table might be the most overlooked biohack in your house. This episode reveals the exact minimum dose of family meals that lowers a child's risk of obesity, the hormone your body releases every time you eat with people you love, and why teaching your kids to cook may protect their metabolism for life.Host Dave Asprey sits down with Shawn Stevenson, founder of The Model Health Show and author of the bestselling Eat Smarter Family Cookbook series. Shawn spent over two decades studying nutritional science and functional medicine after recovering from advanced degenerative disc disease at age 20, and he has become one of the most trusted voices in health media for turning peer-reviewed research into real-world family habits.Shawn and Dave break down the science of community eating, including new research on oxytocin, nervous system regulation, and metabolism that shows why sitting down together beats eating alone every time. They cover the four biological drives running your behavior, the connection between family culture and longevity, and how simple shifts like humming, breathwork, and intentional meals can support brain optimization and anti-aging at a cellular level. This conversation also dives into the five love languages hidden inside food, a bio-photon DNA experiment that reframes how energy moves between people, and the exact number of meals per week that changes a child's health trajectory.You'll Learn:The minimum effective dose of family meals per week that lowers childhood obesity and disordered eatingHow oxytocin and a regulated nervous system change what happens at the dinner tableWhy teaching kids to cook protects their metabolism and prevents dependence on ultra-processed foodHow the five love languages show up in how you cook, serve, and share foodThe bio-photon DNA experiment that shows how human energy fields affect the world around youWhy culture is something your family creates, not just something you inheritHow humming and breathwork practices can shift your nervous system and even change your voiceDave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Why Oral and IV Glutathione Never Actually Reach Your Cells (The Delivery Breakthrough Changing Everything) Most of the supplements you're taking aren't failing you, they're failing to ever reach the cells that need them, and almost nobody selling them wants you to know that. This episode hands you the delivery breakthrough that actually gets it there. Use code DAVE for a discount at aurowellness.com/dave Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Nayan Patel, a pharmacist, researcher, and founder of Auro Wellness, whose work centers on solving one of biohacking's most stubborn problems: getting nutrients past the bloodstream and into the cells that actually need them. He holds 14 patents in delivery technology, partners in the high-end longevity clinic Unlimited Life, and has spent over two decades studying glutathione, the master antioxidant his own research helped bring into modern biohacking. Dave and Dr. Patel break down a 2011 University of Texas study showing that oral and liposomal glutathione are completely broken down into raw amino acids before absorption, meaning none of it reaches the bloodstream as glutathione, a pattern that holds true even for IV administration. They dig into new brain-imaging research showing topical glutathione crossing into neural tissue within 20 minutes, why senescent "zombie cells" may be directly tied to glutathione shortfalls, and why NAD, despite its reputation as the ultimate longevity molecule, is actually dependent on glutathione to do its job. They also cover the real purity ceiling on GHK-copper peptides, safe upper limits for glycine and NAC before they start working against you, a topical alcohol protocol that clears acetaldehyde without triggering a breathalyzer, and why oxidative stress from GLP-1 use is quietly driving one of the drug class's least-discussed side effects. You'll Learn: Why oral, liposomal, and even IV glutathione never actually reach your cells intact, and what a 2011 UT study proved about it How topical glutathione was shown to cross into brain tissue within 20 minutes, and what that means for neurological aging Why senescent "zombie cells" may be directly linked to glutathione shortfalls, and how one longevity clinic reversed markers by 70% in a year Why NAD isn't the "ultimate longevity drug" it's marketed as, and its actual dependent relationship with glutathione The real purity ceiling on GHK-copper peptides, and why 73% is currently the best available anywhere Safe upper limits for glycine and NAC, and the oxalate crystal and Parkinson's-like risks of overdoing either one A topical alcohol protocol that clears acetaldehyde fast enough to beat a breathalyzer Why GLP-1 drugs are quietly driving oxidative stress, and what most patients are missing to counter it Thank you to our sponsors! - PredictiveMind™ | Get your Brain Pattern Mapping report at predictivemind.io/dave and use code DAVE for 10% off. - OneSkin | Get 15% off OneSkin with the code DAVE at https://www.oneskin.co/DAVE #oneskinpod - Caldera + Lab | A small habit with big results.

Cardiologist Dr. Peter McCullough on mRNA Persistence, Nattokinase, and the Fight Over COVID-19 Treatment" Six years after standing before the US Senate and calling out the pandemic response in real time, Dr. Peter McCullough returns with new evidence on where the spike protein came from, how long it persists in the body after infection or vaccination, and what's being done to break it down. This episode traces the science from a 2015 gain-of-function paper to a patient still showing circulating spike protein 3.6 years after vaccination. Get Dr. McCullough's free spike protein guide: myfreespikeguide.com Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Peter McCullough, a physician trained in internal medicine, cardiology, and epidemiology, and one of the most published and most censored voices of the COVID-19 pandemic. He authored the first multi-drug treatment protocol for COVID-19, testified before the US Senate in 2020 and again in 2025, and has published extensively in the peer-reviewed literature on vaccine safety, spike protein biology, and early treatment. His book Courage to Face COVID-19 and his most recent New York Times bestseller, Vaccines, Mythology, Ideology and Reality, examine the history and science behind vaccine policy. Dave and Dr. McCullough trace the origins of the spike protein back to 2015 and 2016 research papers describing a lab-created, SARS-like coronavirus explicitly labeled "poised for human emergence," and discuss the funding, institutions, and researchers involved. They break down why synthetic mRNA vaccines resist the body's normal RNA breakdown process, what a patient case revealed about spike protein circulating 3.6 years after vaccination, and how nattokinase, a natural enzyme, has shown the ability to break the spike protein down. They also cover the suppression campaigns against ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, the wartime propaganda origins of terms like "misinformation" and "anti-vaxxer," and what Dr. McCullough says he would do differently if he ran HHS. The conversation closes with new research on cognitive superagers, the small percentage of people who reach 100 with intact memory and health. You'll Learn: Why 2015 and 2016 research papers described a lab-created coronavirus as "poised for human emergence" years before the pandemic Why synthetic mRNA in COVID-19 vaccines resists the body's natural RNA breakdown process What one patient's case revealed about spike protein still circulating 3.6 years after vaccination How nattokinase, a natural enzyme, has been shown to break down the spike protein Why the FDA and FTC targeted ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, and companies selling nasal sprays during the pandemic The wartime propaganda origins of terms like "misinformation," "disinformation," and "anti-vaxxer" What Dr. McCullough says he would do first if he were running HHS What research on cognitive superagers reveals about the small number of people who reach 100 with intact health Thank you to our sponsors! - TrueDark | Visit truedark.com and use code DAVEASPREY15 (discount applies to all frames except Aegis) - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.

In this episode of the Beautifully Broken Podcast, Freddie Kimmel talks with Jon Hacker, co-founder of Zenbud, about the broken incentive structures inside MedTech and academia — from the unnecessary gatekeeping around credentials and funding, to an insurance system that rewards defensibility over efficacy. Jon shares his personal path from an eleven-year-old fascinated by the nervous system to building a company focused on non-invasive, science-backed nervous system technology, and the two explore what it really means to "meet people where they are" instead of demanding a total lifestyle overhaul. The conversation then turns to Zenbud itself: how the device uses ultrasound (not electrical stimulation) to support the vagus nerve, the history and research behind vagus nerve stimulation, early tolerability and reaction-time data, and why Jon is skeptical of HRV as a standalone metric. They close out with a candid look at frictionless, daily-life-compatible wellness tech, Zenbud's 90-day guarantee, and where the product is headed next — including future plans for real-time brain activity feedback.

A Nobel Prize-winning discovery revealed that your body has a built-in repair system that can help clear out old cellular damage and support healthier aging from the inside out.In this video, Dave Asprey breaks down the strange Japanese breakfast ritual linked to some of the longest-living people on Earth, why modern life can shut down your body's natural repair mode, and how one specific food may help wake it back up.You'll learn how this process supports brain clarity, energy, inflammation, recovery, and biological age, plus how to use it through food, supplements, sleep, exercise, and testing so you can actually track whether your body is responding.Try Danger Creatine: https://dangercoffee.com/products/danger-creatineTry TrueDark glasses: https://truedark.comTry Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/discount/davetubeTry Suppgrade Labs: https://shopsuppgradelabs.com/I have spent twenty years and millions of dollars testing every legal focus drug I could get my hands on.

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com New Book - The Price of Becoming - www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming This is brought to you by Insight Global. If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My guest: Ezekiel J. "Zeke" Emanuel, MD, PhD, is a prominent oncologist, bioethicist, and health policy expert. Currently Vice Provost for Global Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania, he was instrumental in shaping the Affordable Care Act and served as the founding chair of the Department of Bioethics at the National Institutes of Health. Key Learnings Zeke's dad was called "Speedy." He was a Chicago pediatrician who worked 24-hour call, walked so fast the nurses had to run to keep up, and had a rule: the fourth child in any family was free. He recognized the financial strain on families and just wouldn't charge. Zeke's mom was the definition of the anti-helicopter parent. At the playground, she sat on the bench. At the beach, she dropped the boys off with a blanket and a snack. "You go play. Something goes wrong? Okay, that's how it goes." That's how three future powerhouse leaders learned to negotiate, create, and figure it out. The Emanuel brothers' group text is full of bragging. Zeke posted his 51.9 VO2 max score at 68 years old, asking, "Do I win in the family?" His kids replied that they don't even read the articles Zeke and Rahm forward anymore. Close doesn't mean uncompetitive. A dozen years ago, Zeke wrote his most famous article, "Why I Hope to Die at 75." He still stands by it. The point wasn't that he wants to die. The point is that after 75, he won't take medical treatments meant to prolong life.  By age 75, 30% of adults have Alzheimer's or cognitive impairment. By 80, it's 40%. Zeke doesn't want to be remembered as a doddering old man who can't recognize his own family. Living a long time is a means, not an end. It's not the goal of life. It's what allows you to be present, engaged, and useful for the years you have. Biohacking is a lie: It suggests you know better than millions of years of evolution and the entire medical profession. The body isn't about maxing. It's about balance. Too much immune response gives you autoimmunity. Too little makes you sick. The body finds health in the median. You're not going to be perfect over decades. Wellness isn't a four-minute figure skating routine graded on execution. It's a lifetime practice. So build habits you enjoy and can sustain without thinking about them. Zeke's six simple rules for a long and healthy life: Don't be a schmuck. Avoid activities riskier than driving. Smoking, vaping, base jumping, climbing Everest. Talk to people. The number one predictor of a long, happy life. Expand your mind. Travel. Talk to the chef. Learn something new. Eat your ice cream. Moderation over perfection. Fermented foods and fiber. Move. Aerobic, strength, and flexibility. All three. Sleep like a baby. You can't will it. But you can create the conditions. The Harvard Adult Development Study followed people for 85 years. John F. Kennedy was in it. Ben Bradlee was in it. The finding: close friends and being married correlated with the healthiest, longest, happiest lives. Not exercise. Not diet. Relationships. Having no close friends is equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day. That's how bad loneliness is for you. It's not just psychological. It's physical. Introverts get the same happiness boost from social interaction as extroverts. A University of Chicago study by Nicholas Epley found that introverts assume they won't enjoy talking to strangers on their commute. They were wrong. When they did it, they were just as happy as extroverts. Take the headphones off. Zeke has been telling people this since the iPod era. Random encounters increase your surface area for luck, learning, and connection. You never know who you're going to meet or what they might tell you. To be interesting, you have to be interested. Zeke asks to meet the chef at every great restaurant. He asks his Ethiopian Uber driver which tribe he's from. He talks to the person on the plane. It's virtuous. Good for you AND good for them. Zeke's hero is Ben Franklin. Franklin came back to America at 80 after negotiating the end of the Revolutionary War. The first thing he did was build a library for his curiosity and a dining room for his social dinners. That's the way to live. The wellness trifecta: hosting a dinner party with curious people. You're eating good food. You're getting together with people. Your mind is being stretched by great conversation. Three benefits from one activity. Zeke is anti-wellness-industrial-complex. Peptides from your corner store: disaster, unregulated, no idea what's in them. Testosterone replacement therapy without a real deficiency: bad idea, accelerates prostate cancer. Growth hormone for aging: promotes cancers. That's being a schmuck. Sleep is the one wellness practice you can't will yourself into. You can only build the conditions for it. Dark room. Cool temperature. No caffeine or alcohol eight hours before bed. Phone in another room. Read a book. Everything else is up to your body. Ice cream actually decreases your risk of type 2 diabetes. The fat content softens the glycemic response. Plus, you usually eat it with other people. Social eating matters. Zeke's champagne moment a year from now: finishing his next book on how to fix the American healthcare system, and turning 70. Reflection Questions Are you optimizing for length of life, or for the quality of years you actually get?  When was the last time you turned your headphones off, introduced yourself to a stranger, or asked to meet the chef?  Who are the friends you rely on for social interaction? Not casual acquaintances, but the ones who lift your health, longevity, and happiness. When did you last make plans with them?

Nervous System Hacking, Willpower vs Habit Systems, Calendar Time Blocking, and the Wallet Posture Fix Damaging Your Spine Most people think surviving a life-threatening situation comes down to luck. Jordan Harbinger did it twice, and what got him out wasn't luck, it was a nervous system he had trained to override panic. This episode breaks down what actually happens in your body during a real fight-or-flight response, and how those same tools power his approach to human performance and hacking the excuses that keep most people stuck. Host Dave Asprey sits down with Jordan Harbinger, founder of The Art of Charm, one of the top podcasts in the world on charisma, negotiation, and relationship building. Jordan built his expertise the hard way, surviving two real kidnapping attempts using the same psychological principles he now teaches to entrepreneurs and high performers. That firsthand experience under extreme pressure is exactly what makes his insight into stress, willpower, and behavior change worth trusting. Jordan and Dave dig into what your nervous system does under real threat, why adrenaline hijacks rational thought, and how to build resilience that holds up when it matters most. They unpack why willpower fails as a long-term strategy, and why building smarter systems, not more discipline, is the real key to lasting change. Jordan breaks down his calendar-based productivity method, explains how sleep optimization and chronotype shape daily performance, and reveals a bizarre, physical habit quietly wrecking most people's spine and posture without them realizing it. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, human performance, hacking the nervous system, brain optimization, neuroplasticity, and longevity, and building resilience that performs under real pressure, not just in theory. You'll Learn: How Jordan Harbinger used psychology to talk his way out of two real kidnapping attempts What actually happens in your nervous system during a fight-or-flight response Why willpower fails as a long-term strategy and what to build instead How a calendar-based system eliminates decision fatigue and boosts daily performance How sleep optimization and chronotype affect brain function and productivity Why your wallet might be quietly damaging your spine and posture How to rewire ingrained habits and reactions through neuroplasticity and awareness Thank you to our sponsors! - PredictiveMind™ | Get your Brain Pattern Mapping report at predictivemind.io/dave and use code DAVE for 10% off. - EMR-Tek | https://www.emr-tek.com/DAVE and use code DAVE for 40% off. - iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter Explains Brain Inflammation and Alzheimer's Risk Your brain has its own immune system, and when it turns against you, it becomes the hidden driver behind Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, depression, and even long COVID. This episode hands you the science to recognize it early and reverse it. Get Dr. Perlmutter's new book Brain Defenders: https://drperlmutter.com/books/brain-defenders/ Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. David Perlmutter, a board-certified neurologist and six-time New York Times bestselling author whose work sits at the intersection of neurology, nutrition, and brain health. He is a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, serves on its Board of Directors, and sits on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease. His books, including the number one bestseller Grain Brain, span 32 languages and have sold over a million copies, and his upcoming release, Brain Defenders, explores the pivotal role of microglia, the brain's immune cells, in protecting, repairing, and reprogramming the brain for lifelong resilience. Dave and Dr. Perlmutter break down how microglia, the brain's resident immune cells, shift from a supportive state into a destructive one called M1, and why this shift, not amyloid plaque, may be the real driver of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other neurodegenerative conditions. They dig into why the leading amyloid-clearing drugs fail to improve cognition, what a landmark JAMA study revealed about reversing cognitive decline through lifestyle intervention alone, and why a single daily serving of ultra-processed food raised Alzheimer's risk by 13 percent in a 12.7 year study. They also cover new research on GLP-1 drugs and brain inflammation, the surprising role of gum disease and oral bacteria in dementia risk, and why 40 hertz light therapy is emerging as a low-cost tool for clearing brain plaque and calming neuroinflammation. You'll Learn: Why the shift from supportive to destructive brain immune cells may be the true root cause of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Why leading Alzheimer's drugs fail to improve cognition, and what the original research behind the amyloid hypothesis actually showed How one daily serving of ultra-processed food raises Alzheimer's risk, and what a landmark lifestyle intervention study found instead Whether GLP-1 drugs help or harm brain inflammation, based on new Parkinson's and Alzheimer's trial data How gum disease and oral bacteria are linked to dementia, and simple daily habits that reduce that risk Why 40 hertz light therapy is emerging as a tool to clear brain plaque and calm neuroinflammation How ketones, DHA, and metabolic health protect the brain after head injury Thank you to our sponsors! - Beyond Wonderland Conference | Oct 13 - 14, 2026.

Near-Infrared Light Therapy & EMF Shielding with SaunaSpace Founder Brian Richards Your mitochondria are starving for a nutrient you've probably never tracked, and it's not a vitamin or a macro. This episode reveals how a forgotten 1910 therapy uses light to physically restructure water inside your cells, unlocking a mechanism for healing, detox, and mitochondria repair that most of biohacking has completely overlooked. Go to https://sauna.space/ and use code ‘Dave' for a 15% discount! Host Dave Asprey sits down with Brian Richards, founder of SaunaSpace and a leading voice in incandescent light therapy and infrared sauna engineering. With a background in chemistry and organic synthesis, Brian spent over a decade building a science-backed alternative to LED-based light therapy rooted in full-spectrum incandescent light and deep radiant heat. After healing his own insomnia, adrenal fatigue, and brain fog through light and heat exposure, he developed the FireLight Spectrum, a technology engineered to restore what modern lighting strips away. Dave and Brian trace incandescent light therapy back to Dr. John Harvey Kellogg's 1910 book on light therapeutics, and explain why the same institutional forces that suppressed chiropractic care and natural medicine buried this practice for over a century. They break down how near-infrared light penetrates the body to charge water into a more bioavailable state, boost glutathione and melatonin production, and repolarize cellular voltage for better metabolism and longevity. The conversation also covers why blue light from LEDs devastates hormones, testosterone, and fertility, how EMF exposure silently drains human performance, and why grounding and Faraday shielding matter more than most supplements on the market. You'll Learn: Why near-infrared light functions as an essential nutrient your body cannot make without it How light physically restructures water to improve mitochondria function and cellular energy The suppressed history of Dr. Kellogg's incandescent light therapy and why it disappeared How blue light exposure crashes testosterone and disrupts fertility and hormone regulation Why EMF shielding and grounding are critical, overlooked tools for longevity and recovery How to use infrared light like a daily supplement instead of an occasional treatment Why carnivore-adjacent, nutrient-dense eating pairs naturally with light and heat therapy Thank you to our sponsors! - ELITE Performance Coaching | If you'd like to discover where you may be addicted to struggle, allergic to success, and what may be standing between you and your next breakthrough, visit FastestChange.com - Longevity Farms | Go to getlongevityfarms.shop.

GLP-1 Side Effects, Gut Microbiome & Brain Health, Toxoplasmosis Risks, and the Dirty Dozen Explained Plasma Acetate Emerges As Key Gut-Brain Messenger In Older Adults A study published in Nature Communications examined how gut bacteria relate to plasma acetic acid, a short-chain fatty acid produced when gut microbes ferment fiber, and found that higher acetate levels tracked with lower triglycerides, higher HDL cholesterol, lower body fat, larger thalamic brain volume, and stronger performance on judgment-related cognitive tasks. Mediation analysis showed acetate acts as a direct link between specific gut bacteria, including Oscillibacter and Coprococcus, and these health outcomes. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why this elevates fiber fermentation, not fermented beverages, as the real lever for gut-brain health, and separates the evidence-backed mechanism from the kombucha-as-shortcut assumption. Source: https://www.nature.com/articles/s43856-026-01566-x ~~ GLP-1 Drugs Linked To Sharp Rise In Smell And Taste Disturbances A JAMA Otolaryngology cohort study tracking over 438,000 GLP-1 users against matched controls found a 48% higher risk of new smell or taste disturbances over two years, with smell disturbances up 81% and taste disturbances up 52%. Diagnoses included anosmia, parosmia, and parageusia, with researchers pointing to GLP-1 receptor activity in the olfactory bulb and other chemosensory pathways as a possible mechanism. Host Dave Asprey unpacks why this signal got buried under muscle loss and gut motility headlines, and what it means for anyone currently on or considering GLP-1 therapy.

Ocular toxoplasmosis is the most common intra-ocular infection worldwide, and an estimated 190,000 babies are born with congenital toxoplasmosis each year, concentrated in low-resource regions. Despite the scale, there is still no vaccine and no standard global treatment protocol. Host Dave Asprey explains why common, quiet health threats get chronically underfunded compared to dramatic outbreaks, and what pregnant listeners specifically should know about exposure risk.

The data also revealed an inverted-U relationship, with optimal benefits at three to five sessions a week and diminishing or reversed returns at extreme volumes. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why moderate, consistent movement outperforms income as a mental health lever, and why overtraining carries its own psychological cost.

The move reflects a broader trend of major consumer-health conglomerates acquiring practitioner-trusted, lab-forward wellness brands. Host Dave Asprey weighs in on what happens to product quality and innovation when founder-led, science-first supplement companies get absorbed into shareholder-first parent corporations.

Individuals varied widely in how many of these compounds their gut could actually process, and in mouse studies, strawberries reduced colitis activity only in mice with an intact microbiome. Host Dave Asprey explains why the plant itself isn't the active ingredient, your bacteria are, and connects the findings to this year's Environmental Working Group Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen lists to help listeners decide where organic actually matters.

Carnivore Diet, Cholesterol, Gut Bacteria, Microbiome, and Fasting Insulin Results from a 90-Day Self-Experiment What if cutting out fiber entirely actually improved your gut bacteria? This episode breaks down a real 90-day carnivore self-experiment, complete with before and after blood work, stool testing, and continuous glucose data, that challenges everything you think you know about fiber, cholesterol, and metabolic health. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Ben Azadi, founder of Keto Kamp and bestselling author of Metabolic Freedom. After overcoming obesity and severe health challenges, Ben has spent years educating millions of people on metabolic health, fasting, ketosis, and biohacking strategies through his podcast, books, and YouTube channel with over a million subscribers. He is known for turning complex science into practical tools anyone can use to burn fat, boost human performance, and support long-term longevity. Ben walks through what happened when he ate nothing but meat, eggs, and dairy for 90 straight days, tracking everything from his microbiome diversity to his LDL particle size. His cholesterol numbers spiked, but the full lipid panel tells a very different story than most doctors would assume. They get into why ketosis works better when you cycle in and out of it, how sodium and electrolytes play a bigger role in insulin resistance than most people realize, and why eating 17 to 23 times a day might be quietly wrecking your metabolism. The conversation also covers the real science behind creatine absorption, why Dave adds his to hot coffee for better brain uptake, the truth about cooking oils and smoke points, and why cold plunging is one of the most misunderstood biohacks in the wellness space. Dave and Ben dig into mitochondria, fasting protocols, sleep optimization, and the supplements that actually move the needle for energy, fat loss, and anti-aging. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, functional medicine, brain optimization, and building a body that performs at a higher level for longer. You'll Learn: What 90 days of zero fiber actually did to his gut bacteria and microbiome diversity Why his cholesterol went up but his cardiovascular risk markers stayed low The real reason cyclical ketosis works better than staying in ketosis full time How sodium and electrolyte intake affects insulin resistance and metabolism Why eating too frequently keeps your body stuck in glucose and insulin spikes The creatine hack that increases brain absorption using hot coffee Why cold plunging is overrated for most people who skip the hormesis basics Thank you to our sponsors! - PredictiveMind™ | Get your Brain Pattern Mapping report at predictivemind.io/dave and use code DAVE for 10% off. - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.

Your Hormones Are Killing You: Oxytocin, FSH, and the Anti-Aging Protocol Most Doctors Ignore Your hormones are running your love life, your intuition, your longevity, and your brain, and most doctors are getting it completely wrong. Host Dave Asprey sits down with triple board-certified OBGYN Dr. Anna Cabeca to break down the clinical science of oxytocin, female pleasure, hormonal optimization, and why fixing your hormones can make your 70s the best decade of your marriage. Dr. Anna Cabeca is a triple board-certified OBGYN and fellow of gynecology and obstetrics, integrative medicine, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine, with additional board certifications in functional medicine, sexual health, and bioidentical hormone replacement therapy. She is the bestselling author of The Hormone Fix, Keto-Green 16, and MenuPause, and has spent decades researching the clinical intersection of oxytocin, cortisol, estrogen, and progesterone on women's hormonal health, metabolism, and longevity. Her work on keto-green nutrition, vaginal and bladder microbiome health, and bioidentical hormone replacement has made her one of the most credentialed and clinically experienced voices in women's functional medicine practicing today. Dave and Dr. Anna break down the real pharmacology of oxytocin, including its role in muscle regeneration, cortisol suppression, mitochondrial signaling, and vagal tone optimization. They expose the toxic ingredients hiding in mainstream lubricants and vaginal hormone creams, including aspartame, parabens, and petroleum derivatives, and explain why the vaginal microbiome is a frontline organ for women's metabolism and anti-aging. They get into the neuroscience of orgasm, pineal gland activation, endogenous DMT release, and the neurochemical cascade behind peak altered states. Dr. Anna also breaks down the Women's Health Initiative disaster, the FDA's recent reversal on bioidentical hormone replacement, and why FSH is a critical and widely overlooked longevity biomarker. High post-menopausal FSH drives neuroinflammation, accelerates bone loss, and degrades brain optimization outcomes, and most physicians are not testing for it. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, longevity, anti-aging, functional medicine, human performance, brain optimization, and taking full ownership of their biology. You'll Learn: Why oxytocin functions as a regenerative hormone that rebuilds muscle, suppresses cortisol, and supports mitochondria signaling What toxic chemicals are hiding in standard lubricants and vaginal hormone creams and what to use instead How orgasm activates the pineal gland and triggers endogenous DMT release and altered neurological states Why female intuition may be directly linked to mitochondrial density concentrated in the ovaries How elevated FSH drives neuroinflammation, bone loss, and accelerated brain aging in post-menopausal women Why the FDA reversed 30 years of flawed guidance on bioidentical hormone replacement therapy How four days of sensory deprivation supercharges melatonin, oxytocin, and endogenous DMT production Why oxytocin combined with ketamine is being used clinically to break trauma patterns and rewire neural pathways How polyphenols, CoQ10, carnitine, and vagal tone training protect cardiovascular health and support longevity Why polypharma accelerates decline and what functional medicine does differently Thank you to our sponsors! - KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/and use code DAVE for 20% off - Gatlan | Book your free consultation at www.gatlan.com/DAVE - Redmond Real - Leaf Toothpaste | Go to https://redmond.com/asprey and use code ASPREY for 15% off your first order. - Neuronic | Go to www.neuronic.online Code DAVE for $100 off Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.
