I am honored to reconnect with Dr. Tracy Gapin today. He is a board-certified urologist and men's health expert.  The current state of metabolic health in the United States and most Westernized countries has sparked a great interest in a GLP1 agonist, AKA Semaglutide Ozempic. I wanted to speak with a clinician who actively uses this medication. Dr. Gapin and I discuss what this drug class represents. (These are synthetic peptides.) We speak about Semaglutide, Ozempic, Wegovy, and oral Rybelsus. We get into current research, side effects, who should not take these medications, the mechanisms of action specific to the pancreas and beta cells, reductions, gastric emptying, and the upregulation of satiety. We discuss changes in the brain regarding leptin and how these drugs work. We also talk about weight loss resistance, and I answer questions from listeners.  From my perspective, it all comes back to basics. I believe that if we are to prescribe these medications, we must help our patients understand how lifestyle impacts weight-loss resistance and metabolic health. I loved that Dr. Tracy spent some time talking about the specific ways he works with his patients, even before prescribing medications. He also explains how important he feels this drug has been for his patients. I approached today's conversation with an open mind, and I hope you will do the same. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: GLP1 agonists, and how they help Dr. Tracy motivate his patients to lose weight What are GLP1 agonists, and how do they work? Physical benefits of GLP1 agonists Who is Semaglutide not appropriate for? Common side-effects of GLP1 agonists How those who fail to implement lifestyle changes when they stop using Semaglutide may regain all the weight they lost Hydration while using Semaglutide Protein intake when taking Semaglutide How to follow the metrics that matter Factors that could hinder successful weight loss What Dr. Tracy does to ensure his patients do not regain the weight they lost after they stop using Semaglutide Listener questions: Why is a diabetic drug being used for non-diabetics? Does this drug target muscle versus fat in terms of weight loss? For how long do most patients take it? Are there unique characteristics in perimenopausal and menopausal women that must be accounted for differently? Bio: Dr. Tracy Gapin is a board-certified urologist and a world-renowned expert in men's health and performance, as well as the founder of the Gapin Institute, the global leader in High-Performance Health.  He has over 20 years of experience focused on men's health optimization, human performance, and longevity, providing executives & entrepreneurs a personalized path to fulfill their highest potential.

We live in a time when there is so much information and technology available to optimize our health, making it increasingly easy to fall into the trap of obsessing and overcomplicating our health. I recently had the honor of speaking at Dave Asprey's Biohacking Conference, and I had an eye-opening realization: sometimes, the pursuit of biohacking can lead us away from peace and into overwhelm.  In this episode, I'm sharing five (5) nature-based “biohacks” that are free and cost nothing to help improve your mind, body, and overall well-being. While there is no shortage of tools and gadgets, such as cold plunges, red light therapy, and PEMF mats, that track every macro—and I've tried them all—we actually have everything we need if we just utilize what nature provides. No matter what your personal goals are, whether it's to lose weight, add muscle, or improve cardio, I believe that improving our health isn't achieved through suffering; it's attained with consistent and sustainable actions that give you the energy and motivation to propel you towards the next step.  KEY TAKEAWAYS How biohacking can shift from helpful to harmful when it becomes obsessive Why peace—not performance—should be your health goal Three questions to ask yourself to simplify your health routine Five nature-based habits that are both free and timeless How breathwork, natural sunlight, and grounding are great ways to reset and calm your nervous system Why learning more can sometimes be procrastination in disguise Get The Full Show Notes To get full access to today's show notes, including audio, transcript, and links to all the resources mentioned, visit MiracleMorning.com/590 Subscribe, Rate & Review I would love if you could subscribe to the podcast and leave an honest rating & review.

You've been told to eat clean, but what if your “healthy” foods are wrecking your gut, crushing your hormones, and aging you faster? This episode exposes the nutrient-depleted truth behind modern diets, soil erosion, and why regenerative farming might be the key to reversing chronic disease, boosting mitochondria, and rebuilding your biology from the ground up. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Josh Axe, a trusted pioneer in functional medicine, bestselling author, and co-founder of Ancient Nutrition. Dr. Axe bridges the gap between biblical farming, ancestral nutrition, and modern science to explain how your food and even your supplements may be harming your human performance, digestion, and brain health. With clinical insights, personal stories, and science-backed tools, he shares what to eat instead if you want real longevity, energy, and healing. They dig into the collapse of soil nutrients, how monocropping damages the microbiome, and why organic food standards may be outdated. You'll learn how regenerative agriculture rebuilds the earth and your gut, and why biohacking starts with dirt, not pills. Plus, they explore the hormonal chaos caused by seed oils, plastics, blue light, sleep disruption, and even birth control, especially in relation to testosterone loss in men and women. This episode also touches on biblical nutrition, fasting cycles, natural nootropics, testosterone-supporting peptides, the dangers of synthetic vitamins, and the future of real-time self-quantification. From poop-powered farming to smarter sourcing, it's a wild ride into how food, faith, and farming affect every part of your biology. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, neurohacking, longevity, Upgrade Labs, Danger Coffee, Smarter Not Harder, and understanding the real root of disease and dysfunction. You'll Learn: • Why regenerative farming beats “organic” for health and the planet • How depleted soil is linked to hormone imbalances and chronic disease • What birth control is doing to testosterone, fertility, and mitochondrial health • Why your supplements may just be “expensive pee” • The truth about biblical farming and why dirt still matters • How to support testosterone naturally with diet, peptides, and habits • Why sleep optimization, mineral balance, and circadian alignment are key for healing Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

In this episode, Adam and Mayhem break down why more Gen Z workers are abandoning traditional white-collar careers in favor of trade jobs, and they cover the Senate's unanimous approval of a $25,000 tax break for tipped workers—though the bill applies only to cash tips.Later in the show, biohacker and entrepreneur Dave Asprey stops by the studio to talk about his new book Heavily Meditated (available now) and his journey from simply wanting to lose 100 pounds to leading a health and wellness revolution. Dave and Adam discuss the myth of the in-shape health inspector, Dave's daily routine, what he eats (and avoids), his commitment to intermittent fasting, and Adam's story about his mother's 19-year junior college journey as a form of avoidance.Listen in as Dave's biohacking mindset collides with Adam's tough-love philosophy, and they explore why your nervous system is like your phone—and why having thousands of unread text messages might actually be a good thing.

Most people think 10,000 steps a day is the gold standard for health, but it's outdated, inefficient, and often damaging. In this episode, you'll discover a smarter, faster way to walk for longevity, fat burning, and total body resilience. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Mark Sisson, bestselling author, primal health pioneer, and founder of Primal Kitchen. With over 40 years at the forefront of fitness and ancestral health, Mark has helped millions rethink everything they thought they knew about cardio, running, metabolism, and movement. He was one of the first to challenge the chronic cardio myth, helped popularize ketosis and fat-adapted performance, and now returns with a new message: walking right, not more, is one of the most powerful biohacks for human performance and aging. They dive into the Japanese walking interval method that outperforms 10,000 steps, and explore the critical link between foot health, barefoot shoes, and the brain-body connection. Mark also shares why he trains just 20 minutes a week, why too much saturated fat might backfire, and why performance should never come at the cost of your mitochondria. You'll learn how to build muscle and endurance with less effort, how to reverse foot dysfunction with every step, and how to age with strength, intuition, and freedom. This episode hits hard on biohacking, functional movement, longevity, self-quantification, and the real science of walking smarter, not longer. It's also packed with insights on ketosis, nootropics, sleep optimization, and why perfectionism ruins health gains. If you're serious about Smarter Not Harder strategies, tuning into your body, and reclaiming your natural performance potential, don't miss this one. You'll learn: • Why zone 1 walking beats zone 2 training for longevity • How foot dysfunction leads to systemic breakdown • The hidden brain-glute-big toe connection no one talks about • Why Mark no longer runs or eats ribeyes • The minimum effective dose for strength, mobility, and fat burn • Why perfectionism in wellness is toxic and what to do instead Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

This episode dives into the brutal, mind-altering experience of spending 60 days alone in Antarctica, and how extreme suffering became a catalyst for spiritual awakening, peak performance, and deep inner peace. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with elite adventurer, Marine Corps veteran, and Fearvana founder Akshay Nanavati, who dragged a 420lb sled solo across Antarctica in a brutal test of endurance, fasting, and spiritual transformation. Akshay shares how he used suffering as a tool to transmute PTSD, expand consciousness, and awaken what he calls the “paradox of oneness”—where discomfort unlocks the deepest joy. Together, they explore how cold therapy, isolation, and extreme hardship reshape dopamine, mitochondria, neurochemistry, and the stories we tell ourselves. Akshay's journey through darkness retreats, trauma healing, and polar expeditions opens a raw and unfiltered look at self-quantification, mental resilience, and human performance at the edge. This episode will challenge your assumptions about comfort, suffering, and what it means to live fully awake. Whether you're optimizing for longevity, exploring consciousness, or breaking free from invisible scripts, this conversation blends science, spirituality, and hardcore biohacking with moments of unexpected humor and wisdom. You'll Learn: • How intentional pain resets your dopamine response and boosts performance • Why Akshay chose fasting and cold exposure over nootropics and psychedelics • How darkness retreats and solitude sharpen consciousness and intuition • The neuroscience behind pain, trauma, and transformation • Why true freedom lies in facing discomfort—not avoiding it • How to find God in suffering and create meaning from chaos Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Dave Asprey, the father of biohacking, joins me to explore the revolutionary concept of meditation for the modern brain in his new book "Heavily Meditated." Dave shares his journey from being a stressed, overweight, and unhappy tech executive to discovering how ancient wisdom combined with cutting-edge technology can permanently remove emotional triggers. We dive deep into why traditional meditation is outdated for today's brains and how different meditation techniques can be matched to your specific needs – just as you'd choose the right diet or exercise for your goals. Dave reveals his powerful "reset process" that helped me overcome my own trauma years ago at 40 Years of Zen, explaining how we can finally free ourselves from reactive patterns that drain our energy and relationships. It's a game-changer for perimenopause and menopause when hormonal shifts leave us with less margin for emotional triggers.   What you'll learn: Why traditional meditation approaches may not work for your unique brain and how to choose the right technique for your specific needs How our bodies operate on an "F-word" hierarchy (fear, food, fertility, friend, forgiveness) that drives our reactions before we can even think The reset process to permanently eliminate triggers that have been draining your energy for decades Why women in perimenopause and menopause particularly need these tools as hormonal shifts reduce their capacity to handle unresolved trauma How combining biohacking with emotional healing creates true wisdom – the perfect foundation for becoming a respected elder Ways to identify your earliest trauma patterns without extensive therapy or analysis The importance of energy management for both physical and emotional health after 40 Love the Podcast?

Today, I'm back for part 2 of my conversation with Dave Asprey. In this episode, we get into the controversial health practices and daily routines that have transformed his health and energy. Dave reveals his complete daily protocol, including cold plunges, infrared saunas, and the shocking revelation that he takes 150 supplements daily. He challenges conventional wisdom about exercise ("it doesn't make you lose weight"), nutrition ("vegan diets were my biggest mistake"), and controversial testosterone optimization protocols that he's followed since age 26. Dave Asprey is the founder of nine companies, including Bulletproof, Danger Coffee, TrueDark, and Upgrade Labs. He's authored bestselling books including "The Bulletproof Diet," "Head Strong," and his newest release, "Heavily Meditated."

This episode reveals how one simple breath pattern can rewire your nervous system, regulate stress in seconds, and become your most powerful tool for human performance and longevity. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Aaron Alexander, a world-renowned human performance coach, manual therapist, and creator of The Align Method. Aaron has worked with elite athletes, high-level entrepreneurs, and celebrity performers to transform the way they move, breathe, and live in their bodies. He merges structural alignment, functional medicine, emotional awareness, and deep nervous system science to help people get unstuck, physically and emotionally. Together, they explore the science and strategy behind breathwork, vagal tone, posture, and fascia, revealing how the body stores trauma, how breath shifts brain states, and how physical misalignment can sabotage mental clarity, energy, and even mitochondrial function. They also dive into why mouth taping, tongue posture, nitric oxide, and movement patterns are foundational to sleep optimization, cold therapy adaptation, and long-term vitality. You'll learn how to regulate your state in 10 seconds or less, how to shift from sympathetic overdrive to parasympathetic calm, and how to use tools like humming, OMing, and deep exhales to control your biology in real time. This is a tactical, science-rich, emotionally grounded guide to neurohacking from the inside out. If you care about biohacking, functional medicine, sleep optimization, or want to feel stronger, calmer, and more in control—this episode is essential. You'll also hear how Aaron: • Uses breath patterns to hack the nervous system and improve strength, mood, and cognition • Teaches mouth taping and facial alignment for deeper sleep and recovery • Connects trauma, honesty, and physical tension through a somatic lens • Guides clients through cold therapy, touch, and movement to recalibrate resilience • Applies fascia science and polyvagal theory to elite performance and everyday health This is essential listening for anyone exploring Smarter Not Harder protocols, high-level biohacking, and the connection between movement, mitochondria, and mind control.

You'll Learn: • Why ketones beat glucose for focus, speed, and mental clarity • How Special Forces use ketones to recover brain function under stress • The truth about esters, salts, and the new wave of ketone diols • How ketones support faster thinking, emotional control, and clean energy • What makes Ketone-IQ different, and how Dave stacks it for peak performance • The best ways to combine ketones with fasting, workouts, and meditation • Why your metabolism controls your mood, reaction time, and resilience Resources: • Dave Asprey's New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/ • Ketone-IQ Website – https://ketone.com/pages/dave-asprey?utm_source=partners&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=DAVE • Geoffrey's Website: https://www.geoffreywoo.com/ • 2025 Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.com/2025 • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com • Dave Asprey's Website: https://daveasprey.com • Dave Asprey's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/daveasprey • Upgrade Collective – Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live: https://www.ourupgradecollective.com • Own an Upgrade Labs: https://ownanupgradelabs.com • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com • 40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback Training for Advanced Cognitive Enhancement: https://40yearsofzen.com Timestamps: • 00:00 – Trailer • 02:00 – Intro • 02:12 – Ketosis & brain performance • 02:53 – Geoffrey's background • 03:52 – Ketone supplement evolution • 04:41 – What makes Ketone-IQ different • 07:18 – Manufacturing breakthroughs • 13:53 – Entrepreneur mindset • 18:58 – Future of biohacking • 45:59 – Why classics still matter • 46:23 – Cultural decline • 47:04 – Decentralization • 48:25 – Info overload & mental clarity • 49:38 – Ketones & consciousness • 57:49 – Religion & belief systems • 01:03:32 – Key biohacking biomarkers • 01:12:47 – Brain data & future upgrades • 01:26:34 – Listener offer See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Your cells are starving. Not for food—but for oxygen. In this episode of The Human Upgrade, Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Jason Sonners, world-renowned hyperbaric expert and regenerative medicine pioneer, to reveal how controlled oxygen under pressure is becoming one of the most powerful tools in anti-aging and performance science. You'll learn how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) triggers stem cell activation, rewires your epigenome, boosts mitochondrial energy, and reverses biological aging—if you use it the right way. Jason shares breakthrough findings from his latest PhD research comparing low- and high-pressure chambers, with surprising results on inflammation, telomeres, cognitive performance, and recovery speed. This is next-gen longevity—measurable, stackable, and customizable. From sleep upgrades and HRV boosts to stacking HBOT with fasting, methylene blue, or red light, this episode dives into what it takes to oxygenate your biology at the deepest level. You'll Learn: • How hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) triggers stem cell regeneration and cellular repair • Why mild-pressure chambers may be more powerful than you think• What HBOT does to inflammation, brain fog, and biological aging markers • How to stack HBOT with fasting, red light, and methylene blue for amplified results • What Dr. Sonners' PhD research reveals about oxygen pressure and genetic expression • The truth about oxygen toxicity—and how to avoid the common mistakes • How elite performers use HBOT for brain optimization, recovery, and resilience ** Get 30% of yourr tickets to the Biohacking conference by going to https://biohackingconference.com/2025 and use code ‘OXYHEALTH' ** Thank you to our sponsors! -Our Place | Head to https://fromourplace.com/ and use the code DAVE for 10% off your order. -Timeline | Head to https://www.timeline.com/dave to get 10% off your first order.

What if living to 180 isn't about Hacks, but about Healing? In this conversation, I sit down with my friend Dave Asprey, the godfather of biohacking, to uncover what might be the most important conversation we've ever had on this show. And I don't say that lightly. You know Dave for pushing the envelope on longevity, nutrition, and performance—but what we got into here, this is the stuff that actually sets you free. We talk about how every single one of us is born with the capacity for intuition—a gut knowing that transcends logic—and how most of us have let our ego, emotional baggage, and mental chatter completely drown it out. Dave breaks down the five F's that drive human behavior: Fear, Food, Fertility, Friendship, and Forgiveness—and how forgiveness, more than anything else, gives you energy, peace, and power. “Forgiveness is simply becoming non-reactive to something that was still causing you pain,” Dave says. That line hit me hard. We also dig into the practical side—because if there's no strategy, I'm not interested. Dave shares how to train your intuition like a muscle, what happens to your body when you forgive, and why practices like meditation, breathwork, and even brief, intentional exposure to pain (what he calls BICEP) can radically change how you show up in your life. This isn't woo-woo stuff—it's actionable and measurable, and he's got the brainwave data to back it up. Dave's new book, Heavily Meditated, might be his most important one yet. Not because it's flashy, but because it gives you the tools to clear the blocks—emotional, mental, even generational—that are stealing your energy and keeping you from your purpose. If you're biohacking your body but ignoring your spirit, you're leaving the most important gains on the table. Key Takeaways: Why forgiveness isn't a feeling—it's a performance enhancer How to recognize and build your intuitive muscle The biology behind “female intuition” (you'll want to hear this) How meditation actually rewires your nervous system Why exposing yourself to pain builds motivation and emotional resilience What to do when your heart rate variability just won't budge A surprising connection between altered states and intimacy Let me tell you something: it's not just about living longer—it's about living better. With more joy, more clarity, and more freedom. That's what we're after. Max out.
