Dr. Ross Pelton, Director of Science & Education for Essential Formulas Incorporated, maker of Dr. Ohhira's premium probiotic products, reveals how the gut microbiome affects metabolism, appetite, weight regulation, and overall health. He emphasizes the importance of microbiome diversity, supported by eating a wide variety of plant foods rich in fiber and polyphenols, and discusses how fermented foods and postbiotic metabolites help maintain a healthy gut environment. Pelton explains Dr. Ohhira's multi-year fermentation process and the idea that postbiotics may be key health regulators. He reviews studies suggesting benefits from Dr. Ohhira's probiotics for athletic performance markers, reduced fatigue, and improved bowel regularity, and notes research showing antibiotic-related losses in gut diversity can persist for years. He also mentions a higher-dose “Reset Challenge,” a postbiotic paste concentrate, and an ME-3 product aimed at increasing glutathione.

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Angela: I have stage 1 lipedema. recently last 3 years gained about 30lbs. I am 43 and looking for help. I have had lipedema for as long as I can remember feeling my thighs were just SO fatty even when I was thiner. 120-132 lbs I want to feel like me again       Erik: Hi Dr. C, I was hoping to get some guidance about protocols. As of now I'm half way through the mold protocol after finishing the CBO protocol this spring. I had pretty bad bacterial overgrowth and mold markers. Ive been out of the mold for a year and was feeling good through the CBO protocol. However, the last week of the CBO protocol was the week of my yearly fishing trip. I had fun but it also involves a lot of processed foods and alcohol. This resulted in my bad joint pain starting mid meal coming back and almost feeling like Im starting over. On the mold protocol the joint pain during and post meal has continued despite eating lower histamine and taking DAO. Im almost 2 months in taking the clean gut probiotic and healthy gut support. Any suggestions what to do after heavy metal detox.     Alicja: Hello Dr. Cabral, Thank you for all you do. I'm your long time listener. I'm 43 yo and recently I started noticing my heart working differently. From time to time I experience very forceful heart beat. It is very noticeable and uncomfortable, like a hard thump. I'm not sure what is happening and what is causing it. It happens at random times of days, more and more often, and always at bed time when I try to go to sleep. Last night I counted and had the "hard thump" heart beat about every 10 seconds. Is this dangerous? What should I do about it? My puls is normal and I'm prone to low blood pressure. I'm not out of breath, but when I experience the hard thumps, it is harder to breathe. Why did I started experiencing this?       Amy: I heard you mention on an earlier podcast that you have worked with people that have JAK2 mutation. Is there actually a way to treat this naturally without using pharmaceuticals? My mom has this and they had her on a low dose chemo drug. We are wondering what (if anything) can be done naturally to help lower her platelet count. Thank you Dr. Cabral!     Anonymous: Hi! Hope you're doing well. I saw a reel on IG that we shouldn't mix bananas and blueberries because blueberries contain flavonoids and banana contains PPO which breaks down flavonoids? Is there any truth to this? And secondly, what do you think about the viral olive oil and lemon shots in the morning? They list so many benefits. If you are a proponent, how much of each would you use? Third question: is dancing a good way of exercising? I don't particularly enjoy other types of exercise like strength training, but dancing is something I could do every other day.. sometimes I could also do pilates but have to force myself to do it.. what would you recommend on a weekly basis? Thank you for your comprehensive answers and all you do, you're such a gem!       Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!      - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3872 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Sea Squirt Plasmalogens Show Brain And Aging Benefits In Old Mice Aged mice given purified plasmalogen supplements showed better memory performance, healthier synaptic structure, lower neuroinflammation, and increased signaling tied to neurite growth and synapse development, with treated mice even growing thicker, darker, glossier hair. Plasmalogens are specialized lipids concentrated in cell membranes and the brain that tend to decline with age and neurodegenerative disease, making them an intriguing target for cognitive longevity. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why membrane composition matters for brain signaling, mitochondrial function, and inflammation, while stressing that this remains mouse research from 2022 and does not mean eating sea squirts or taking an unproven plasmalogen supplement will reproduce the same effects in humans. Sources: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260902234518.htm https://doi.org/10.3389/fmolb.2022.815320 ~~ Apple Watch Series 12 Adds More HRV Data, Readiness Scoring, And Health Age Apple Watch Series 12 pushes deeper into health tracking with heart rate measurements every five seconds, substantially more frequent HRV sampling, a new daily Readiness score, and a Longevity section in the Health app featuring Health Age. Apple is also expanding its health ecosystem with daytime vitals, movement assessments, menopause tracking, and Quest Diagnostics lab ordering for more than fifty biomarkers. Host Dave Asprey explains why higher-frequency wearable data can become useful for spotting changes in stress, recovery, sleep, and illness, but warns against letting algorithmic scores override your own baseline, symptoms, and real-world performance. Source: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/09/introducing-apple-watch-series-12-with-the-all-new-health-sensing-system/ ~~ FDA Moves To Accelerate Botanical Drug Development The FDA has opened a formal request for input on how to accelerate botanical drug development, including better clinical trial designs, stronger quality standards, improved standardization of complex plant mixtures, and expanded use of real-world evidence. The agency is also working with the European Medicines Agency on regulatory considerations for herbal and botanical medicines, potentially creating a clearer path for standardized plant-derived therapies to move beyond vague supplement claims and into more rigorous clinical testing. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why this could strengthen the evidence behind compounds like berberine, saffron, medicinal mushrooms, and flavanols, while also warning that more pharmaceutical-style regulation could increase costs and reduce access. Source: https://www.healthmanagement.com/insights/weekly-roundup-v2/september-9-2026/ ~~ Persistent Adolescent Cannabis Use Linked To Long-Term IQ And Cognitive Decline A long-running New Zealand birth cohort found that people with persistent cannabis dependence beginning in adolescence showed significant cognitive decline by age thirty-eight, including losses in IQ, memory, processing speed, attention, and executive function. The most persistent users showed an average decline of roughly eight IQ points, while adult-onset users did not show the same pattern, pointing toward adolescence as a potentially important developmental vulnerability window. Host Dave Asprey explains why this 2012 observational study cannot prove cannabis caused every cognitive change, but argues that dose, frequency, age of exposure, and brain development all matter when evaluating cannabis for performance, health, or therapeutic use. Source: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3479587/ ~~ Pterostilbene Helps Mouse Muscle Cells Burn More Fat Through PPAR-Delta Researchers testing pterostilbene, a polyphenol found in blueberries and grapes, found that it reduced intracellular fat accumulation and increased fatty acid oxidation in cultured mouse muscle cells. Rather than directly activating PPAR-delta, pterostilbene appeared to slow its breakdown, leaving more of the protein available to regulate genes involved in fat metabolism and potentially offering a new mechanistic target for myosteatosis and metabolic dysfunction. Host Dave Asprey explains why the PPAR-delta mechanism is interesting for metabolic health, but draws a clear line between promising cell research and human outcomes, emphasizing that resistance training, walking, muscle mass, and mitochondrial health still have far stronger evidence than taking blueberry extracts to reduce muscle fat. Sources: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260903064219.htm https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fbio.2026.109519 https://www.reddit.com/r/Biohackers/comments/1w8flq4/compound_in_blueberries_may_help_muscle_cells/ ~~ This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity enthusiasts, and high-performance listeners who want emerging research on brain aging, wearables, botanical medicine, cannabis, metabolic health, and supplements translated into what matters for human biology. Host Dave Asprey separates promising mechanisms from premature hype and explains how to evaluate new health research through the lens of evidence quality, dose, biological context, and measurable outcomes.

In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” Kasey Cronquist, president of the U.S. Highbush Council (USHBC) and the North American Blueberry Council (NABC), continues his conversation about the Peruvian blueberry industry with the general manager of Proarándanos, Luis Miguel Vegas. As a reminder, Proarándanos is the Peruvian Blueberry Growers' and Exporters' Association. Vegas discusses Peru's blueberry market, highlighting the upcoming reports (June Report and August Report) and the industry's preparations for future El Niño events. Through his weekly crop reporting, Vegas keeps the entire industry equipped with the critical data and strategic insights we need to navigate the market. If you missed part one of our conversation with Vegas, check out episode 243.“ Peru keeps growing in plantings, and that's compensating for the reduction in productivity in yields because of El Niño … . Every El Niño phenomenon is unique. This phenomenon El Niño is more extreme than the one we had back in 2023… . But we learned and we saw what were the final numbers, for example, in Ventura in 2023. So, we can anticipate better what might we expect by the end of the season, for example, with Ventura's production, which as everybody knows is the most affected variety here in Peru with the warmer-than-usual climate.” – Luis Miguel Vegas Topics covered include: A continuation of the conversation about Peru's blueberry market with Vegas. The impact Vegas expects from the latest El Niño event.An exploration of the June and August reports generated by Proarándanos, and a discussion of what they signal for the Peruvian blueberry industry.Crop ReportThe Blueberry Crop Report is an update on crop conditions and markets throughout important blueberry growing areas.

Sprint NOW to LIVE Longer Podcast | VyVerse.comFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCASTCoffee is a powerful vitality enhancer. New data from 2,264 people found that each additional cup of coffee was associated with roughly 2% higher testosterone in men, while both men and women who drank more coffee tended to have less body fat and more skeletal muscle. Other research links coffee with lower inflammation, better gut health, less depression, younger biological age, and improved focus.Blueberries are brain food. Research suggests blueberries can improve memory, executive function, processing speed, attention, and brain blood flow. Studies cited in the podcast found cognitive benefits in both middle-aged adults at increased dementia risk and school-aged children. Roughly half a cup of blueberries may be enough to provide meaningful benefits.Vitality is a gift you give yourself. Vitality is defined as “purposeful, energetic, and connected living.” Developing it begins by creating space to think, becoming more intentional with time, and defining a clear personal purpose. A concise purpose acts as a filter for deciding what deserves your time and energy.Protect your energy and invest in your relationships. Daily energy depends heavily on discipline, sleep, and fitness. Eliminate “life leaks” such as mindless scrolling and minimize time with “energy vampires.” Instead, invest that energy in meaningful work and the people you love—put down the phone, listen closely, serve others, and treat important relationships like “precious jewels.”Vitality is a skill—and awareness is the first step. You can deliberately train your physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being through practices ranging from exercise and weight management to recovery, stress reduction, optimism, and meaningful connection. Start by honestly identifying what you are doing well and what needs improvement, then take ownership and make one decisive first move.Copyright, VyVerse, LLC. All Rights Reserved.

Blueberry growers have voiced concerns over the prospect of New Zealand relaxing its food import rules following an E.coli outbreak in the US. The outbreak has been linked to a shipment of frozen berries in Chile. The growers fear that MPI changes to berry imports could also bring new pests or diseases onto New Zealand shores. One grower, Dan Peach, says MPI hasn't considered the risks involved in making these changes. "It's not a question of if it's going to happen, it's a matter of when - and how much is tolerable. And that's where risk-based assessments need to be looked at, on a case-by-case basis." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

And what really comes home when we're at the USHBC meetings is that our customer is the mother and the kids and the parents that are eating the blueberries at home. Our customer is the end user, and I don't think we always think of it that way and have thought about that in the past. … We need to increase the demand and increase the ability for the end consumers to enjoy blueberries more, and we need to do that advertising.

Family Tree Farms Vice President Daniel Jackson says California agriculture faces significant challenges from water policy uncertainty, but he remains optimistic about the future of farming and the next generation of growers. During the second part of a recent AgNet News Hour interview, Jackson discussed water regulations, labor concerns, blueberry production, and the importance of maintaining California's agricultural legacy. Jackson, whose family has farmed in California since the 1930s, said one of the biggest issues facing growers today is uncertainty surrounding groundwater regulations under California's Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA). According to Jackson, constantly changing rules create difficulties for farmers making long-term investments in permanent crops such as peaches, almonds, and other tree fruits. “Farmers are not confident,” Jackson said, explaining that growers often do not know what water restrictions they may face several years into the future after making substantial investments in orchards and other perennial crops. He noted that reliable water supplies remain essential for maintaining productive farmland and supporting rural economies throughout California. Jackson emphasized that water infrastructure and storage projects could provide long-term benefits not only for agriculture but also for communities and environmental needs. Despite the challenges, Jackson remains committed to farming in California. He said Family Tree Farms continues to invest in the state while also expanding production into other regions and countries to maintain year-round supplies of fresh produce. Blueberries have become a major component of that strategy. Family Tree Farms now participates in blueberry production and marketing programs across multiple regions, allowing consumers to access fresh blueberries throughout the year. Jackson said demand continues to grow as consumers increasingly recognize the fruit's health benefits. “People need them,” Jackson said while discussing the popularity of blueberries and their reputation as a healthy snack option. California's blueberry season is expected to conclude earlier than normal this year due to unusually warm spring weather that accelerated crop development across many fruit-producing regions. Jackson said growers throughout the industry are seeing earlier harvest timing in numerous commodities, including stone fruit and blueberries. As for Family Tree Farms' stone fruit season, Jackson expects harvests to wrap up sooner than usual. He encouraged consumers to take advantage of peak-season fruit while supplies remain plentiful. Apricots, peaches, nectarines, and other specialty fruits continue to be available through the company's retail and wholesale channels. Beyond crop production, Jackson stressed the importance of encouraging future generations to remain involved in agriculture. He expressed concern that regulatory burdens and uncertainty may discourage young people from entering farming but remains hopeful that California agriculture can continue thriving with strong leadership and common-sense policies. Throughout the conversation, Jackson repeatedly emphasized the critical role farmers play in producing food for consumers and supporting local communities. He noted that agriculture remains one of California's foundational industries and said growers will continue adapting to challenges while working to provide safe, nutritious food. “We want to continue doing what we have a passion for doing,” Jackson said. “It's great to see somebody smile when they eat a big juicy apricot or a peach.”

Blueberries continue to gain popularity with consumers, and industry leaders are looking for new ways to keep that momentum growing through innovative products, creative marketing, and expanded consumer engagement. In today's episode of the AgNet News Hour, U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council President Kasey Cronquist discussed how the industry is leveraging the Blueberry Boost Accelerator program to inspire new uses for blueberries and expand demand across multiple consumer segments. Cronquist said blueberries have evolved far beyond a seasonal fruit and are now available year-round thanks to domestic production and global supply chains. As consumer demand continues to rise, the industry is searching for new opportunities to incorporate blueberries into products beyond their traditional breakfast and snack applications. The Blueberry Boost Accelerator was created to encourage entrepreneurs and food companies to develop innovative products featuring blueberries. The program offers participants mentorship, industry exposure, and cash prizes while helping identify new ways consumers can incorporate blueberries into their daily diets. “We want blueberries to be the world's favorite fruit,” Cronquist said. “USHBC exists to give more consumers in the United States more reasons to buy more blueberries.” The initiative reflects a broader trend within agriculture, where successful commodities increasingly rely on marketing and product innovation to maintain growth. Cronquist noted that blueberries already enjoy strong consumer recognition for their nutritional value, but the industry sees significant opportunities to increase consumption through new product categories and applications. One example highlighted during the interview was last year's competition winner, a high-protein whipped mousse dessert that incorporated blueberries as a featured ingredient. Programs like the accelerator help connect blueberry growers with emerging food companies looking to capitalize on consumer interest in health, wellness, convenience, and high-protein foods. The blueberry industry is also benefiting from broader consumer trends emphasizing healthy eating. Cronquist said blueberries align well with growing demand for nutritious snacks, functional foods, and fresh produce options that support wellness-focused lifestyles. According to Cronquist, approximately half of U.S. households currently consume blueberries, leaving significant room for future growth. Increasing production acreage and expanded availability have helped support rising demand, while ongoing marketing efforts aim to introduce blueberries to new consumers and new occasions throughout the day. Packaging innovation also remains a priority. From larger family-sized containers to grab-and-go snack packs, the industry continues exploring ways to improve convenience and accessibility for consumers. These efforts are designed to help ensure every berry finds a home while supporting continued growth for growers. Cronquist said the industry is seeing strong fruit quality this season and remains optimistic about future opportunities. As consumer interest in healthy foods continues to grow, blueberries are well-positioned to capitalize on evolving dietary trends and changing purchasing habits. The Blueberry Boost Accelerator is currently accepting interest from entrepreneurs and companies interested in developing blueberry-based products, with winners to be announced later this year.    

In this episode of “The Business of Blueberries,” Kasey Cronquist, president of the U.S. Highbush Council (USHBC) and the North American Blueberry Council (NABC), is joined by Brandon Raso, Variety Farms farm and operations manager, and the recent recipient of the 2026 National Outstanding Young Farmer award. Raso is a fourth-generation grower at Variety Farms in Hammonton, New Jersey, where he manages over 750 acres of production. He also serves on the USHBC Council as treasurer, and is chair of the Finance Committee. Whether he's advocating for growers in D.C. or implementing the latest mechanical harvesting tech at home, he's at the forefront of the “next gen” movement. “We obviously have a lot of runway left with reaching higher consumption levels and, so, I just think there's a lot of light at the end of the tunnel on this, and it's something we don't have to fight tooth and nail for. I think as long as we make the right moves and stay conscious about the decisions we're making, I think this thing is naturally going to catapult itself into a new category in terms of consumption, people realizing the benefits and reaching new audiences. It's like we're so fortunate to be part of this.” – Brandon Raso Topics covered include: An introduction to Raso and his work. The history Raso represents as a fourth-generation grower.The impact he's having on the industry due to his involvement at the local and national levels.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the Counter-Racist Weekly Review 05/30/26. This broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS This week, we analyze the ongoing enforcement of racial terror and state policy: 1. Direct Racist Violence and Neighborhood Vandalism: We examine a disturbing series of direct, racially motivated property attacks and terror tactics aimed at Black people. This includes the arrest of a 13-year-old charged with hate crimes for vandalism in Central, Louisiana, a targeted attack on a Black family's home in Farmington Hills, Michigan, and explicit white supremacist graffiti left on a residential street in Slidell, Louisiana. We analyze how these cross-generational actions function to enforce fear and maintain racial terror in Black spaces. 2. The Vape Industry's New Target: We investigate reports that senior regulators within the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were completely blindsided by policy maneuvers opening the market to unauthorized, fruit-flavored e-cigarettes. We examine the corporate strategy behind these new products—including new fruit-flavored options—and the systemic implications for non-white children who will likely bear the brunt of these predatory marketing tactics. 3. Biometric Surveillance and Ocular Cataloging: We dissect a massive $25 million no-bid contract finalized by ICE to flood the streets with over 1,500 handheld, smartphone-based iris scanners. We scrutinize the expansion of this biometric database, analyzing how this BI2 Tech acts as a digital dragnet targeting non-white oculars during field operations. Furthermore, we question the broader scope of this surveillance infrastructure, examining the very real threat of these tools being weaponized to scan the eyeballs of non-white protesters and US citizens under the guise of state security. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy #COINTELPRO #TheRedboneDeception #TheCOWS17Years INVEST in The COWS – [http://paypal.me/TheCOWS](http://paypal.me/TheCOWS) Cash App: [https://cash.app/$TheCOWS](https://cash.app/$TheCOWS) CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

After more than three decades helping shape the berry business from the warehouse floor to executive leadership at Naturipe Farms, Bocock has stepped into a new role with MBG Marketing.

Bocock joins us to share what his new role means to him, the vision he brings to MBG, and how he sees the future of our industry at a time when alignment and leadership matter more than ever.“My vision is that MBG continues and grows a lot over the next five to eight years, built upon success, not growth for the sake of growth. … There is another huge component of this, and I've been an advocate of this and MBG has for a long time, involvement in NABC and USHBC and other organizations, including state organizations. It's just so important that we get as much talent from our grower base, from our management team, engaged in these organizations to help drive success through there. Because they're reaching some places that we, MBG, are not gonna hit by ourselves.” – Brian Bocock Topics covered include: Bocock's new role at MBG Marketing.The profound loss and lasting legacy of previous MBG Marketing CEO Brad Moorer.A discussion about what Bocock sees as the immediate future and long-term potential for the blueberry industry.Crop ReportThe Blueberry Crop Report is an update on crop conditions and markets throughout important blueberry growing areas.

Episodes 6 and 7 of “Perfect Match” dropped this week, leaving us with just the finale for next week – just as the show is finally starting to pick up steam. Putting the abysmal pacing aside, the drama is heating up as Demari and Marissa's diametrically opposed communication styles threaten to tear apart their increasingly miserable relationship, one Jimmy does a better job locking it down than the other, and the singles make increasingly audacious plays for a spot in the house. A bait-and-switch kissing challenge brings it all together.

Recently converted Jewish-to-Catholic woman, Chrissie Mayr (ChrissieMayr.com) returns to the show this evening, and we just always love to have her. We shall be dipping into what is new with her, drama from the internet, the fake blueberry bagels that people are noticing at grocery stories across the country, and a little bit of the history of using beaver anal gland sacks to sweeten up American soft drinks. Recently, comedian Mark Normand did a comedy set for a crowd of exclusively Gen Z girls to see how his off-color jokes were received, and so I would like to watch with Chrissie in order to appreciate the jokes, but also assess the crowd's ability to enjoy a nice evening out of the house.

Try TrueDark (with my discount): https://truedark.com/discount/DAVETUBEI transformed my vision from 20/80 to 20/15 by stopping the "management of decline" and starting the "restoration of tissue".The retina is a metabolically hungry tissue that undergoes a nightly repair program, but modern habits like screen use and late-night blue light exposure suppress the melatonin and mitochondrial energy needed for this cleanup.To reverse this, I use 7 specific daily habits to flip the self-healing switch:- Mitochondrial Fuel: I use 670 nm red light to directly fuel retinal mitochondria and increase ATP production.- Pigment Regeneration: I eat blueberries in the evening to accelerate night-vision pigment (rhodopsin) regeneration exactly when the eye needs it.- Mechanical Rest: I practice "Eye Fasting"—looking at true distance—to release the mechanical tension of constant near-focus.- Vascular Tone: I use a gentle cold rinse to improve vascular tone and blood flow around the eye.- Oxidative Stress: I practice grounding to lower systemic oxidative stress and inflammation.- Corneal Hydration: I use blink training to rehydrate the cornea and stabilize the protective tear film.- Circadian Anchoring: Finally, I watch the sunset every day to anchor my circadian rhythm, ensuring my eye's repair enzymes activate on time.Timestamps:00:00 – Intro01:05 – The Problem with Traditional Vision Care02:48 – How Your Eyes Repair Themselves at Night05:03 – How Modern Life Breaks the Repair Cycle05:53 – The 7 Habits to Activate Your Eye's Self-Healing Switch06:07 – Habit 1: Red Light Therapy07:18 – Habit 2: Blueberries and Rhodopsin09:22 – Habit 3: Cold Exposure for Blood Flow11:10 – Habit 4: Grounding to Reduce Oxidative Stress13:38 – Habit 5: Eye Fasting (Distance Viewing)15:45 – Habit 6: Deliberate Blinking17:53 – Habit 7: Sunset Light and Circadian RepairThank you to our sponsors!--Connect 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/Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/DAVE15Dave 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.
