Podcasts about Fasting

“Diet culture loves to exaggerate grains of truth and turn them into something extremely blown out of proportion.”Fasting is everywhere right now, but what does the research actually say? In this episode, I break down the claims, benefits, and red flags surrounding fasting, including why short-term results don't always tell the whole story. We'll also explore how fasting can impact your relationship with food, why it may function as another form of dieting, and the important difference between restrictive fasting protocols and meal spacing that may support certain health needs.What You'll Learn:What the current research does (and doesn't) tell us about fastingWhy short-term health improvements don't always translate into long-term resultsHow fasting can affect food noise, binge eating risk, and your relationship with foodWhy many forms of fasting function as another form of calorie restrictionWhen meal spacing may support gut health and how it differs from popular fasting trendsWhy the best approach to nutrition depends on your unique needs, health history, and relationship with foodResources:Grab the Hunger & Fullness Scale Guide at DietCultureRebel.com/hungerfullnessscale and take your next step toward building trust with your body and food.Episode 207: What Diet Culture Gets Wrong About Gut Healthy (with Dr. Heather Finley)Connect with me over on Instagram at @diet.culture.rebel.Struggling with food, but not sure where to start?You don't have to feel 100% ready to get support.

Fasting is powerful—but fasting alone isn't always enough. Episode #262

Learn about the Healing Power of Prolonged Fasting: HEREWhat if one of the most studied alternative cancer therapies in the world was used across Europe and South America, yet still out of reach in the United States? Dr. Katie Deming sits down with Dr. Nasha Winters, a globally recognized authority in integrative oncology and co-author of Mistletoe and the Emerging Future of Integrative Oncology. Dr. Winters has trained hundreds of physicians in mistletoe therapy and has also used it herself.Together, they unpack a plant most people only know from the holidays and explore why injectable mistletoe has been used in cancer care since 1917. You'll hear how mistletoe may work on multiple levels: supporting the immune system, affecting the tumor environment, and helping the body's terrain during and after treatment.If you've ever felt rushed into decisions based on a scan, this episode is especially important. Dr. Winters explains pseudoprogression, a phenomenon where things may appear worse on imaging before they improve, and why timing scans too soon can lead to fear-driven decisions based on misleading information.Chapters:00:06:39 - The Most Studied Alternative Cancer Therapy00:08:18 - Why the U.S. Still Requires New Trials00:09:34 - The Patient Who Changed Dr. Winters' Path00:12:43 - How Mistletoe Works in the Body00:14:02 - Waking Up the Immune System00:16:28 - Quality of Life During Cancer Treatment00:18:42 - Mistletoe, Fasting, and Metabolic Support00:21:37 - Why Terrain Matters More Than Tumor Kill00:27:42 - Why Practitioner Training Matters00:30:01 - The Scan Mistake That Can Change Everything00:34:17 - When to Image During Mistletoe Therapy00:37:06 - When Healing Looks Worse Before Better00:41:00 - Who Should Be Careful With Mistletoe00:42:54 - Why Fasting and Mistletoe Work TogetherMost relevant support from the transcript: the episode moves from mistletoe's history and use since 1917, into mechanism and terrain, then closes with pseudoprogression, scan timing, and who should use caution. Stay until the end, because Dr. Winters shares how one patient first pushed her to explore mistletoe therapy, and how that moment opened the door to decades of clinical experience with a treatment most Americans still never hear about.Press play to learn why your body may be far more capable of healing than you've been told.Connect with Dr. Nasha: https://drnasha.com/Pick up a copy: Mistletoe and the Emerging Future of Integrative OncologyJoin Dr. Katie's 3-Day Guided Fast, for expert support, daily live calls, and a community to fast alongside: Sign-Up Follow Dr. Katie Deming on InstagramWatch on YoutubeDISCLAIMER: The Born to Heal Podcast  is intended for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for seeking professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

What if the thing controlling your life is the very thing God wants to use to draw you closer to Him?This week, Pastor Gregg continues our Unhurried series by exploring the spiritual practice of fasting and why it has been a vital rhythm for followers of Jesus throughout history. Looking at Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, we discover how fasting trains us to say no to our desires, strengthens us for spiritual battle, and sharpens our focus on God. In this message, we learn that fasting isn't about earning God's favor—it's about creating space for deeper dependence on Him and learning to hunger for God more than anything else.If you've ever felt distracted, spiritually stagnant, or controlled by desires you struggle to overcome — this message is for you.We hope that you enjoy this series!

What if the food you eat could make you smarter, sharper, and more energized?In Episode 290 of the Moonshots Podcast, Mike and Mark dive into The Bulletproof Diet by biohacker and entrepreneur Dave Asprey. Together they challenge common diet myths, explore the science behind fasting, discuss the rise of Bulletproof Coffee, and examine how inflammation impacts performance, energy, and longevity.This episode is not about chasing the perfect diet. It's about discovering how nutrition can become a practical tool for better thinking, deeper focus, and sustainable wellbeing. Whether you're curious about intermittent fasting, optimizing your morning routine, or simply improving your relationship with food, this conversation offers practical insights you can start applying immediately.Buy The Bulletproof Diet:https://geni.us/FQVMdjDLearn more:https://www.moonshots.ioYouTube Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGqs7VdIufLYNWnzZYuVaTAKey ThemesThe role of willpower in sustainable health habitsCommon myths and misconceptions about dietingBiohacking as a framework for personal optimizationThe impact of inflammation on health and performanceIntermittent fasting and metabolic flexibilityBulletproof Coffee and cognitive performancePersonalized nutrition versus one-size-fits-all dietsHealth as a vehicle for achievement and fulfillmentConcepts & BreakthroughsChallenging Diet MythsThe episode opens by examining some of the most persistent misconceptions about nutrition. Ideas such as "fat makes you fat," "skipping breakfast is unhealthy," or "healthy eating is always expensive" often survive because they are simple, not because they are accurate.Dave Asprey encourages listeners to question assumptions and focus on experimentation. The most effective dietary strategy is often the one that aligns with your unique biology, lifestyle, and goals.Biohacking Your EnergyAt the heart of Asprey's philosophy is biohacking—the practice of systematically improving physical and mental performance through observation and experimentation.Rather than accepting fatigue, brain fog, or poor energy as inevitable, biohacking asks a simple question:What small change could improve how I feel today?This mindset turns health into an ongoing process of discovery rather than a rigid set of rules.The Inflammation ConnectionOne of the most important insights discussed is the relationship between diet and inflammation.Many modern foods contribute to chronic low-grade inflammation, which can manifest as fatigue, digestive discomfort, reduced cognitive performance, and long-term health challenges.By focusing on higher-quality foods and reducing inflammatory triggers, listeners can create an environment where their bodies and minds perform more effectively.Fasting for FocusFasting is often viewed solely as a weight-loss tool, but the episode explores its broader benefits.Strategic fasting may help:Improve mental clarityIncrease focusEnhance metabolic flexibilityReduce reliance on constant food intakeMike and Mark discuss how many people discover that delaying breakfast can provide a surprising boost in productivity and concentration during the morning hours.Bulletproof CoffeeOne of Dave Asprey's most recognizable contributions is Bulletproof Coffee—a combination of coffee, healthy fats, and MCT oil designed to support sustained energy.The concept challenges traditional breakfast habits by providing fuel without triggering the energy crashes often associated with carbohydrate-heavy meals.Whether listeners adopt the practice or not, the larger lesson is to think intentionally about how morning nutrition affects cognitive performance.Health as a Means to an EndPerhaps the most powerful idea in the episode is that health is not the destination.Health is the vehicle.The purpose of eating well, sleeping better, exercising, and managing energy is not simply to achieve perfect health metrics.

Is it perimenopause, or are you just finally fed up with the world? Honestly, it might be both.In this listener Q&A, I'm answering the questions so many of you have been sending me, and they're the kind that probably sound familiar. We start with mood, because so many of us feel more irritable, less patient, and a lot less willing to tolerate things we used to put up with. I'll walk you through what's happening with your hormones and neurotransmitters, and why your reasons for feeling done are still valid even when biology is part of the picture.From there, I tackle the big one: the belief that decades of dieting have "broken" your metabolism. I talk about what's really driving the lose-it-gain-it cycle, why intermittent fasting leaves so many women feeling awful, and the food guilt that shows up over something as ordinary as two slices of bread.I also answer a question that pulled at my heart, from a parent who overheard their daughter say she needed to "walk off" her dessert. If you've ever heard your own voice come out of someone you love, this one is for you.If any of this lands, I'd love to keep the conversation going.

We all want to be like someone else—but what if the One we were made to become like is Jesus himself? Kicking off our new summer series, Living Like Jesus, Pastor Jared Stevens looks at the spiritual disciplines Jesus practiced throughout the book of Luke, starting with one many of us tend to avoid: fasting. Walking through Luke 4:1–4, Jared unpacks Jesus' 40 days in the wilderness and shows how fasting isn't about deprivation—it's about uncovering a deeper hunger that only Jesus can satisfy. From Old and New Testament examples of fasting to a personal story of how it led to a life-changing decision, this message lands on a simple but powerful truth: fasting moves us toward complete dependence on God and deeper intimacy with Jesus. Here's a couple key takeaways - Make space this week to practice fasting—even for a meal or part of a day—and pay attention to what it reveals about where you're really seeking satisfaction. - When you're tempted or struggling, fight back with Scripture, just like Jesus did in the wilderness. - Spend time asking God if there's something He's inviting you to repent of or surrender to Him.

Semaglutide Slows Biological Aging A randomized, placebo-controlled study published in Nature Communications found semaglutide slowed biological aging markers by nine percent on the DunedinPACE epigenetic clock in adults living with HIV-associated metabolic disease, with simultaneous improvements across inflammation, heart, kidney, liver, and brain markers. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why this isn't a weight loss story. It's a metabolic inflammation story. He explains why the GLP-1 mechanism hitting insulin signaling, oxidative stress, and inflammatory pathways simultaneously is the real finding, and makes the case that your metabolic markers and your aging markers are the same numbers.

Host Dave Asprey explains why twenty years of regulatory lag left American consumers with inferior chemistry while Europe moved on, why he's watching independent absorption data before updating his own stack, and why consistency of use matters more than perfect formulation when sun protection remains one of the most evidence-backed longevity interventions available.

Host Dave Asprey breaks down why delivery mechanism is an underrated variable in caffeine optimization, why timing matters as much as dose, and why a modest but measurable edge on a cheap and accessible tool is exactly the kind of practical biohack worth understanding.

Host Dave Asprey explains the actual hepatotoxicity and bone demineralization risks of preformed retinol excess, draws the critical distinction between preformed retinol and beta-carotene that got lost in the misinformation cycle, and makes the case that mechanism is not a dosing protocol and confusing the two is how people get hurt.

Welcome to the first episode of the Summer Protein Sparing Modified Fasting Series on the Optimal Protein Podcast. In this episode, Vanessa introduces the science, history, and practical application of protein sparing modified fasting, or PSMF, as a powerful tool for fat loss and body recomposition. Check out the Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting Library at ketogenicgirl.com and use code VANESSA for 20% off. Vanessa explains how PSMF was originally developed to help preserve lean body mass during severe energy restriction, why it differs from water fasting or traditional low-calorie dieting, and how prioritizing protein can help support satiety, fat loss, and muscle retention. This episode also explores the origins of PSMF with Dr. George Blackburn and Dr. Bruce Bistrian, its use in bariatric and physique-prep settings, and why strategic high-protein, lower-calorie days may be especially helpful for those who want to lose fat while protecting hard-earned muscle. You'll learn what a PSMF day can look like in practice, including protein targets, calorie ranges, lean protein choices, and how to combine PSMF days with maintenance days for a more sustainable approach. In this episode, Vanessa covers: What protein sparing modified fasting is Why preserving lean mass matters during fat loss How PSMF differs from water fasting The history of PSMF and its clinical origins Why protein supports satiety and metabolic rate How PSMF may support rapid fat loss without sacrificing muscle Practical meal structure, macros, and food examples Why resistance training is key for body recomposition Who PSMF may and may not be appropriate for Summer PSMF Series Re-Release Note: This episode was previously released on the Optimal Protein Podcast and is being re-released as part of the Summer Protein Sparing Modified Fasting Series.

HEALTH NEWS   Study links low vitamin C levels in the blood plasma to reduced brain connectivity Study: Tart Cherry Supplementation Alters Muscle Protein Profile After Exercise Socioeconomic factors may leave more lasting imprint on children's brains than IQ or parenting style Fasting-mimicking diet reduces gum disease inflammation Low blood pressure shows strongest link to Alzheimer's disease   Study links low vitamin C levels in the blood plasma to reduced brain connectivity Hirosaki University (Japan), June 10 2026 (News-Medical) Previous research has uncovered associations between diets higher in vitamin C and lower risk of cognitive impairment in older adults. However, few studies have looked directly at vitamin C levels in blood plasma and potential associations with brain structure and connectivity within brain networks. To help fill that gap, Nagaya and colleagues analyzed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and plasma vitamin C levels of 2,044 adults over the age of 64. Specifically, they measured the volume of each participant's gray and white brain matter (accounting for individual differences in total brain volume between participants). They also evaluated connectivity within the default mode network, which is associated with several cognitive functions, such as attention and autobiographical memory. After statistically accounting for other factors the researchers found that participants with lower plasma vitamin C levels tended to have lower gray matter volume, as well as lower connectivity within the default mode network. These findings suggest the possibility that optimal levels of vitamin C in blood plasma could potentially support cognitive function and counteract cognitive decline. However, the findings do not confirm any such cause-effect relationship between vitamin C levels and brain health.   Study: Tart Cherry Supplementation Alters Muscle Protein Profile After Exercise University of Exeter (UK), June 11 2026 (Natural News) Researchers recruited 34 healthy, recreationally active young men and assigned them to receive either a placebo, a low-dose tart cherry concentrate, or a high-dose tart cherry supplement, according to the study report. Participants consumed their assigned supplement for seven days before completing a muscle-damaging workout and continued supplementation for three days afterward, for a total intervention of 10 days. The study found that tart cherry supplementation significantly altered the muscle's protein profile following exercise-induced damage. Changes were observed in proteins involved in muscle structure, contraction, cellular repair processes, and immune-cell activity within muscle tissue. These findings suggest that tart cherry polyphenols may influence the way muscles respond to and recover from the stress of exercise. Researchers also detected significant increases in hippuric acid, a compound produced when gut microbes break down polyphenols from tart cherries and other plant foods. Participants with higher levels of hippuric acid tended to maintain better muscle function following exercise-induced damage.   Socioeconomic factors may leave more lasting imprint on children's brains than IQ or parenting style Washington University in St. Louis, June 11 2026 (Medical Xpress) After analyzing hundreds of biological, psychological, social and environmental factors related to children's development, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that a family's financial situation and the resources and opportunities in a child's neighborhood had the strongest connection to brain development. Socioeconomic factors accounted for about 16% of the variability in measures of children's brain function—far more than IQ, parenting style and health history.  As part of the study, the researchers analyzed brain scans from nearly 12,000 children ages 9 to 10 to see how a child's environment, health and regular activities are related to brain development. Of the hundreds of factors examined, the team found that the socioeconomic status of a child's family had the strongest relationship with that child's brain structure and function. Further, the parts of the brain that reflect socioeconomic factors were the same areas most sensitive to sleep and stress, suggesting that socioeconomic disadvantage affects the brain indirectly through disrupted sleep and chronic stress. Of the top 40 variables linked to brain function, 37 were socioeconomic, and of the top 40 tied to structure, 35 were socioeconomic. These included the social and economic resources in the child's neighborhood, akin to the overall wealth of an area. Strong influences included family income, homeownership, poverty rates and access to transportation. The remaining top variables were related to sleep, screen time and stress.   Fasting-mimicking diet reduces gum disease inflammation Kings College London, June 11 2026 (Eurekalert) People who follow a short-term low-calorie diet may have reduced markers of inflammation associated with gum disease. A new study by King's College London highlights how lifestyle modifications could be important alongside plaque control in managing gum disease. The research included 28 patients from across hospitals in Spain, split into two groups – those who followed a five-day restrictive diet, versus a control group who continued their usual diet. Patients who fasted ate 1,100 calories for two days, then 750 calories for three days. The sixth day gently introduced more calories with soft foods – then their diets returned to normal by the seventh day. This was repeated three times in six months, with patients reporting the diet easy to stick to. After six months, samples were analysed from the patients' blood and gingival crevicular fluid – liquid that comes from the small space between your tooth and gum, which helps gums stay healthy and fight germs. Those who fasted had reduced markers of inflammation in samples from blood and gum tissue compared to those whose diets stayed the same, including lower levels of C-reactive protein, a general indicator of inflammation around the body. The fasting group also had reduced molecules linked to inflammation specifically in the gums, compared to controls.   Low blood pressure shows strongest link to Alzheimer's disease Michigan Technological University, Jun 10 2026 (News-Medical) Numerous types of cardiovascular disease and CVD risk factors were linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's disease, with low blood pressure showing the strongest connection, according to a new analysis published today in the Journal of the American Heart Association What are the key findings of the analysis? Adults with hypotension (low blood pressure) were about three times more likely to develop Alzheimer's and nearly twice as likely in the All of Us study when compared to individuals who did not have low blood pressure. Across both datasets, adults with high blood pressure (hypertension) were 1.6 times more likely to have Alzheimer's disease, compared to people without hypertension. Participants who had a previous stroke had a 1.5 times higher risk for Alzheimer's disease in the UK Biobank and 1.85 times in All of Us. Those with irregular heartbeat (or atrial fibrillation, also called AFib) were about 1.5 times more likely to have Alzheimer's disease compared to those without AFib.

If anyone has earned the right to tell you your brain can get better, it is him. Dr. Fotuhi and Dave break down why Alzheimer's is not a single disease but a soup of modifiable problems, why your lab results can show "normal" while your brain is starving, and how the five pillars of brain health connect directly to longevity, mitochondria function, and human performance. They also get into the brain effects of GLP-1s, the therapeutic promise of psychedelics like psilocybin and ketamine, the role of nootropics and supplements like B12, lithium orotate, and CoQ10, and why your VO2 max may be the single most important number for brain aging. . You'll Learn: Why 97% of Alzheimer's cases involve multiple modifiable causes and what to do about each one How to physically grow your hippocampus through exercise, meditation, and nutrition Why "normal" lab ranges are actively harming millions of people and what optimal actually looks like The 7 everyday things that are shrinking your brain right now How stress, loneliness, and isolation cause measurable brain atrophy Which supplements including B12, lithium orotate, CoQ10, and nootropics support long-term brain health Why VO2 max predicts brain aging better than almost any other marker What psychedelics like psilocybin and ketamine actually do to your brain according to a Johns Hopkins neurologist How the APOE4 gene affects Alzheimer's risk and why exercise can erase that risk entirely Why mitochondria health is the foundation of both brain function and longevity Thank you to our sponsors! - Viome | Check it out at viome.com and use code 10DAVE for 10% off.

“I wanna hear THAT at my grocery store, when I'm going for the meat section…”   Whether it's the song we all rise for at sports ball events,  the first song on Rush's “Fly By Night” album (not to mention the first song on Anthrax's EP of classic rock covers), or the sing-along, encore at the end of a rock show, ANTHEMS represent a clarion call, a rallying cry that unites fans in unspeakable joy, unity, and celebration. It's almost always the song that EVERYONE knows (even your grandmother) and is very much NOT a deep cut.    “AC/DC's kind of an anthem band…they have at least one on every album…”   In fact, ANTHEMS are those kinds of songs where, if you hear one in a public place: at a bar, a restaurant, the grocery store, or a friend's party, you're not going to NOT like it. Sure, it's probably the most well-known, popular, played into the ground, mainstream “hit” that EVERYONE (again, probably even your grandmother) is familiar with, but no matter what song it is or where you might hear it, ANTHEMS are  guaranteed to get you fired up, lift your spirit, and bring a smile to your face.   “I wanna do a little birthday squig…”   Find out what's happening “THIS FRIDAY”, realize that birthdays are the anniversaries of life, and JOIN US for a Bunkerpoon birthday celebration full of cake, refreshments, and good cheer as we cuss and discuss the unifying power behind rock and metal ANTHEMS.

After 30 years in health, Dr. Mindy is calling time on the rules.This solo episode is one of the most personal things she's shared on this podcast. It covers two big ideas: the science and story behind why she stopped fasting for most of the past year and the five health habits she's deliberately walking away from in 2026.First, flex fasting. When cortisol is high from grief, trauma, illness, perimenopause, or chronic stress rigidly pushing through long fasting windows doesn't support the body. It depletes it. Dr. Mindy shares what happened when she lost a close friend and found herself in an acute stress state, what the research says about prolonged fasting and the HPA axis, and how she developed a new approach she's calling flex fasting: a more intuitive, body-led way to use fasting as a tool without turning it into a rule.Then the five things she's giving up: counting (macros, biometrics, followers, all of it), the gym, other people's urgency, productivity over health, and information overconsumption. Each one is a direct response to what the wellness industry has quietly done to us — turned health into a full-time job with a performance review.RESOURCES MENTIONED:Fast Like a Girl: https://www.drmindypelz.com/booksAge Like a Girl: https://www.drmindypelz.com/booksSubstack Article "I Stopped Fasting for a Year": https://substack.com/@drmindypelz/Carb Manager App carbmanager.com, available on iOS, Android, and webThe Movement Diet: Redefining Fitness at Every Age with Katy BowmanStudy: Prolonged Fasting, HPA Axis & Cortisol - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12736288/Study: Estrogen & Cortisol Regulation - https://academic.oup.com/jcem/article/102/12/4457/4587523Midlife Women Fasting Trial - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-025-65678-zStudy: Self-Selected Fasting Windows - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-024-03375-yBEAM Minerals, use code MINDY for 20% off: https://www.beamminerals.com/?oid=4&affid=648LMNT, get a free sample pack with your order: https://bit.ly/drinklmntpelzTo view full show notes, resources mentioned, transcripts, and more, visit

Dr. William Li: Eat to Beat Disease, Extend Longevity, and Hack Your Vascular Health Your body already has a built-in cancer defense system, and the foods you eat can rival prescription drugs at activating it. In this episode, you'll discover what 720,000 living centenarians reveal about longevity, why microplastics are reaching your brain through your nose, and how your blood vessels hold the real key to biological aging. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. William Li, an internationally renowned physician, scientist, and two-time New York Times bestselling author of "Eat to Beat Disease" and "Eat to Beat Your Diet." As President and Medical Director of the Angiogenesis Foundation, Dr. Li's groundbreaking research has led to the development of more than 40 new medical treatments impacting care for over 70 diseases including diabetes, heart disease, blindness, and obesity. His TED Talk, "Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?", has surpassed 11 million views, making him one of the most trusted voices at the intersection of functional medicine and food as medicine science. Together they dig into the biology of SuperAgers, the vascular markers that predict how long you'll live, and why flow-mediated dilation may be the most underrated biohacking measurement tool available today. Dave shares what happened after four separate gene therapies, including klotho and VEGF, and Dr. Li explains why your metabolism, mitochondria, and gut microbiome show up in the data on every centenarian ever studied. They also get into the microplastic crisis, the cribriform plate pathway that delivers airborne particles directly to your brain, and why your tongue is the first place your body quietly stores fat. You'll Learn: What centenarian research reveals about immune function, gut health, and vascular resilience Why 50% of food extracts matched or outperformed cancer drugs in head-to-head angiogenesis testing How microplastics travel through your nose directly to your central nervous system What flow-mediated dilation and pulse wave velocity tell you about your true biological age Why your hind-third tongue fat is an overlooked early warning sign for sleep apnea and metabolism problems What Dave's four gene therapies (klotho, VEGF, follistatin) actually did to his body How the vagus nerve connects gut health to brain optimization, stress resilience, and longevity Why genetics now accounts for roughly half of longevity outcomes, and what that means for the future of gene therapy How to use biohacking tools to compound your health the same way you compound financial returns Thank you to our sponsors! - Beyond Wonderland Conference | Oct 13 - 14, 2026.

***JOIN THE NEXT MASTER YOUR FASTING CHALLENGE THAT STARTS June 10th, 2026!*** We'll GUIDE you on how to FAST to LOSE FAT for good, and use ‘fast cycling' to achieve uncommon results! ⁠⁠REGISTER HERE!⁠⁠ Click the link for DATES, DETAILS, and FAQs! In this episode, Dr. Scott Watier and Tommy Welling dive deep into what they call the insulin matrix — the idea that chronic disease, weight loss resistance, and metabolic dysfunction are fundamentally insulin problems that develop quietly for years before showing up in labs or on the scale. Inspired by a conversation between Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Dr. Ben Bikman, the hosts explain why fasting is uniquely powerful not just for losing weight, but for changing how and where the body stores and releases energy at a cellular level — shrinking overfilled fat cells rather than simply creating a calorie deficit. They break down why a consistently high-insulin environment, even with good food choices, can keep the body locked in fat-storage mode and why stacking more daily "insulin-off hours" through foundational fasting is the most direct lever for restoring metabolic flexibility. The hosts also walk through the key lifestyle multipliers that either amplify or undermine the fasting effect — sleep, movement, food quality, and stress management — and why matching your fasting intensity to your current life load produces better long-term results than white-knuckling aggressive extended fasts. Listeners leave with a clear, trackable one-week action plan focused on morning energy, cravings, and fasting comfort as early signs that the insulin matrix is finally shifting in their favor.

I used to weigh 300 pounds. I tried every restrictive diet, became a vegan, and trained 90 minutes a day for 18 months with absolute zero results. Everything changed when I drank a cup of yak butter tea at 18,300 feet in Tibet. Within 30 seconds, my severe brain fog lifted, and my metabolism completely shifted.In this video, I break down exactly why adding sugar to your morning coffee is destroying your metabolism, spiking your insulin, and keeping you fat. I explain the hard science behind the alternative: blending "fat cubes" (grass-fed butter) and MCT oil into your coffee. I reveal how this specific combination of butyrate, CLA, and medium-chain triglycerides bypasses traditional digestion to go straight to your liver, instantly converting into ketones for pure brain fuel. You'll learn how eating more fat actually trains your body to burn its own stored fat, allowing me to hit 4.8% body fat at 50 years old with a biological age in my 30s—without hunger, without a 3 PM crash, and without living in the gym.Thank you to our sponsors!Suppgrade Labs | Grab your DAKE and Minerals 101 duo at shopsuppgradelabs.com and use code DAVEPOD for 15% off todayViome | Check it out at viome.com and use code 10DAVE for 10% off.

Psalm 31:7 offers a powerful reminder that God sees our struggles, understands our pain, and cares deeply for our souls. In this devotional, Lauren Fletcher explores the comforting truth that God is not distant from our suffering. Through the stories of Leah and Hagar, Scripture reveals a compassionate God who notices those who feel overlooked, unloved, forgotten, or alone. Even when we cannot find the words to pray, God remains attentive to our circumstances and actively works on our behalf. Highlights God sees our struggles, even when no one else notices. Leah's story demonstrates God's compassion toward the overlooked and unloved. Hagar's encounter with God reveals Him as El Roi, "the God who sees me." God's care is not dependent on us having the perfect words to pray. Scripture consistently shows God moving on behalf of those who are hurting. The Lord meets people in seasons of loneliness, rejection, and distress. God's awareness of our pain is evidence of His deep love for us. Believers can trust that they are never forgotten or abandoned by God. Join the Conversation Have you experienced a time when God reminded you that He saw your pain, needs, or circumstances? How does knowing that God is El Roi—the God who sees you—change the way you approach difficult seasons?

Full Transcript Below: He Sees Us By Lauren Fletcher Bible Reading: “I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul.” - Psalm 31:7 This month, my church has been participating in 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. As I was praying one morning, I came across a sweet passage of scripture. In the story of Jacob, Leah, and Rachel, God meets Leah in a very personal way. Though she was the first wife of Jacob, Rachel was the one he wanted and worked for. Genesis 29 says, “When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, he enabled her to have children, but Rachel could not conceive. So Leah became pregnant and gave birth to a son. She named him Reuben, for she said, ‘The LORD has noticed my misery, and now my husband will love me’” (Genesis 29:31-32). It touched my heart that the LORD saw Leah’s circumstances and moved. She did not pray and ask, she did not cry out for God’s help. He just saw what she was going through and acted. How amazing that God sees what’s going on with us and will act on our behalf, even when we do not ask. Have you ever had a circumstance like this in your life, where God has moved, even before you were able to ask? The story continues, “She soon became pregnant again and gave birth to another son. She named him Simeon, for she said, ‘The LORD heard that I was unloved and has given me another son’” (Genesis 29:33). I love how Leah recognizes God has seen and heard her situation. She acknowledges Him in this. Intersecting Faith & Life: There’s another important passage in the scriptures where we learn that God sees us. A beloved name of God is El Roi. This name is given to Him by Sarai's (Sarah’s) servant, Hagar, in Genesis 16, in the wilderness (Genesis 16:7). The LORD had told Abram that he would have descendants, that he would have a son. Abram trusted the LORD in this (Genesis 15:4-6). “Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had not been able to bear children for him. But she had an Egyptian servant named Hagar. So Sarai said to Abram, ‘The LORD has prevented me from having children. Go and sleep with my servant. Perhaps I can have children through her.’ And Abram agreed with Sarai’s proposal” (Genesis 16:1-2). After Hagar became pregnant, she did not treat Sarai well (Genesis 16:4). The scripture says, “Then Sarai treated Hagar so harshly that she finally ran away. The angel of the LORD found Hagar beside a spring of water in the wilderness, along the road to Shur” (Genesis 16:6b-7). Hagar was met in her distress, in her place of difficulty. She was seen. “Thereafter, Hagar used another name to refer to the LORD, who had spoken to her. She said, ‘You are the God who sees me.’ She also said, ‘Have I truly seen the One who sees me?’” (Genesis 16:13). Hagar was not forgotten. She was sought out by the Lord. Something we can take away from these scriptures, these stories of how God worked in these women’s lives, is that if He sees them, He sees us. He will work on our behalf when we ask, but also when we don’t. He sees, and He works on our behalf because He loves us. It is this same love that caused the LORD, who saw the troubles of the Israelites in Egypt, to be moved to deliver them (Exodus 3-4). Exodus 4:31 says, “Then the people of Israel were convinced that the LORD had sent Moses and Aaron. When they heard that the LORD was concerned about them and had seen their misery, they bowed down and worshiped.” Doesn’t this just touch your heart? How wonderful and loving the Lord is. He knows what’s going on with you. He sees, and He cares. He will help you, because He loves you. Even if you haven’t been able to ask, don’t worry. He sees us.

Making Space, Digital Fasting: Michael Knapstad | June 7, 2026

For many believers longing for a godly marriage, the waiting season feels endless—filled with dating apps, well-meaning advice, and quiet prayers that seem unanswered. If you’re a Christian single asking, “Lord, is this the one? What is Your will for my love life?” fasting combined with prayer offers a powerful, biblical pathway to clarity, surrender, and breakthrough. Fasting isn’t about earning God’s favor or manipulating outcomes. It’s about humbling yourself, denying the flesh, and creating space to hear the Father’s […] The post The Role of Fasting in Seeking God’s Will for Your Love Life appeared first on Christian Singles Advice | Christian Dating Advice Tips.

Pancreatic Cancer Halted by Virus Injection Researchers injected an engineered virus directly into pancreatic tumors in three patients — the virus replicated inside malignant cells, triggered an immune response, and stopped tumor growth and spread at an intentionally low early dose. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why oncolytic viruses can do what chemotherapy can't, how the tumor's dense biological wall becomes less of an advantage when a virus can replicate inside it directly, and why a measurable response at a safety dose is the kind of early signal that changes how he's watching this field. Sources: https://www.newscientist.com AI Chatbots and Teen Mental Health A new survey shows roughly one in five adolescents and young adults are now going to AI chatbots when they feel sad, anxious, nervous, or stressed, with usage heaviest in the 18–21 range. Host Dave Asprey explains why general-purpose language models designed to be engaging are dangerous as a substitute for real mental health support, why false reassurance from a chatbot may make the pipeline to real care harder to reach, and why this is a health systems story masquerading as a tech adoption story — and what parents need to do about it. Sources: https://www.nbcnews.com GLP-1 Drugs Cut Breast Cancer Risk Penn Medicine published a retrospective analysis of over 111,000 women finding GLP-1 exposure associated with about 35% lower odds of breast cancer in the full cohort and around 30% lower in a matched comparison group. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why this isn't just a weight loss story — it's a metabolic dysfunction story — explains the insulin resistance, inflammation, and hormonal environment mechanisms that may be driving the signal, and makes the case that this finding should be reshaping how oncologists and OBGYNs think about high-risk patients right now. Sources: https://www.pennmedicine.org Putin's $26 Billion Longevity Program The Wall Street Journal reports that Russia has made anti-aging research a Kremlin-level national priority through a $26 billion program including gene therapy, organ bioprinting, and xenotransplantation, led by Putin's daughter Maria Vorontsova and physicist Mikhail Kovalchuk. Host Dave Asprey breaks down what's geopolitical theater, what's legitimately frontier science, and why the real question is whether any findings will make it out to the broader research community or get locked inside a state program. Sources: https://www.wsj.com https://www.france24.com Sauna vs. Cold Plunge A landmark Finnish study tracked over 2,300 men for nearly 21 years and found increasing sauna frequency associated with dramatically lower cardiovascular and all-cause mortality — strongest at four or more sessions per week. Host Dave Asprey settles the debate with the actual data, explains what heat shock proteins and cold shock proteins actually are and why the evidence base behind them is nowhere near equivalent, and calls out the wellness marketing presenting early-stage mouse model research as the cold water equivalent of two decades of human mortality outcomes. Sources: https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullarticle/2521522 This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity seekers, and high-performance listeners who want mechanism-level clarity on cancer treatment breakthroughs, adolescent mental health and AI, metabolic drivers of disease, geopolitical longevity science, and the real evidence behind popular recovery modalities. Host Dave Asprey connects emerging clinical research, objective epidemiological data, and real-world optimization protocols into actionable frameworks for extending healthspan, sharpening performance, and staying ahead of the science.

Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. John Gildea, a Johns Hopkins-trained PhD with 60 scientific publications and over 20 NIH-funded studies, and David Roberts, co-founder of Mara Labs and co-creator of BrocElite, the only naturally derived stable form of sulforaphane available in a capsule. Together they bring decades of research-backed biohacking and functional medicine insight into one of the most pressing longevity conversations of our time. They break down the lysosome, your cell's built-in incinerator, and explain exactly why it gets clogged with microplastics, advanced glycation end products, and other toxins that won't break down. New research shows that sulforaphane triggers a process called lysosomal surface translocation, which releases those trapped particles so your body can finally excrete them. An in-house Mara Labs study confirmed the excretion pathway: microplastics come out in feces. In the original study, the individual measured the highest microplastic levels ever recorded, and a repeat study a year later showed dramatically lower baseline microplastic levels, suggesting consistent use compounds the benefit over time. You'll Learn: Why microplastics accumulate inside lysosomes and what sulforaphane does to release them How the three detox pathways, glutathione, glucuronidation, and sulfation, work together to remove every major class of toxin What an in-house study revealed about how and where microplastics actually leave the body How toxic estrogen metabolites form and why sulforaphane is the most effective natural tool to reroute them Why berberine supports sleep optimization, ketosis, and blocks a cancer growth pathway most drugs cannot touch How sulforaphane boosts BDNF and neuroplasticity at the cellular level What microplastic sources in your home, including your dryer, rugs, and receipts, are doing to your toxin load daily Why losing weight releases stored toxins and what to take to protect your brain and metabolism during fat loss How sulforaphane activates the same AMPK longevity pathways triggered by fasting without restricting food Thank you to our sponsors! - iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE - HeartMath | Go to https://www.heartmath.com/dave to save 15% off. - Timeline | Go to timeline.com/dave and you'll get an additional 20% off your first month - Our Place | Stop cooking with toxic cookware and upgrade to Our Place today.

This episode changes that. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Go to Aminoinnovations.com and use “asprey20” for a discount through the next 7 days Host Dave Asprey sits down with Justin Kirkland, a longevity medicine expert with over 30 years in drug development and pharmaceutical innovation. Kirkland holds multiple drug synthesis and formulation patents, has founded multiple pharmaceutical companies, and is one of the few people in the world manufacturing peptides entirely on US soil, controlling every step of the synthesis process from raw amino acids to finished product. If you want to understand what is really inside your peptides and why it matters for your longevity and human performance, he is the person to listen to. Dave and Justin go deep on why most peptides on the gray market contain dangerous residual compounds that can spike liver enzymes and cause real harm, why Chinese-sourced APIs are not always what they claim to be, and how a new generation of needle-free delivery systems including microneedle patches and auto-injectors is making peptide therapy accessible to anyone serious about longevity and human performance. They also cover how AI and functional medicine are converging to make peptide protocols personalized based on genetics and microbiome status, why the thymus gland is one of the most overlooked anti-aging targets in the body, and what the suppression of peptide research reveals about who really controls your access to health tools. You Will Learn: Why many gray market peptides contain toxic residual acids that damage the liver and how to identify clean products How microneedle patches and auto-injectors are replacing traditional injections for peptide delivery Which peptides are most effective for longevity, immune system repair, and human performance including BPC-157, Thymosin Alpha-1, and growth hormone secretagogues Why your genetics and gut microbiome determine whether a peptide will work for you at all How the thymus gland controls your immune system and why it disappears by your mid-20s What the suppression of peptide research tells you about Big Pharma's control over your supplement and nootropics access Why US-manufactured peptides represent a new standard for safety and quality in biohacking How AI is transforming personalized peptide protocols in functional medicine Which peptides are overhyped and which ones actually move the needle on anti-aging and recovery How to store, mix, and dose peptides correctly to avoid the mistakes most people using them are making right now Thank you to our sponsors! - Danger Coffee | Grab yours at DangerCoffee.comand use code DAVEPOD at checkout for 15% off. - The One Device | Use code DAVE for $10 off at theonedevice.com/dave - Fatty15 is on a mission to support Healthy Aging for All, including all ages and stages of life.

I lived with severe brain fog for 15 years. I couldn't focus, my words didn't come easily, and I spent a fortune trying to fix it from the top down...little worked until I realized the problem wasn't in my head—it was in my feet.In this video, I break down the scientifically proven connection between your feet, your circulation, and your cognitive decline. We cover how your brain requires a massive 20% of your body's oxygen to function, and why sitting at a desk all day weakens the calf muscles that act as a "second heart" to pump that oxygenated blood back up to your skull. I also explain how modern cushioned shoes act as sensory deprivation chambers, muffling the critical signals your feet send to your brain. This sensory lack forces your nervous system into a constant, low-level survival state that completely kills your executive function. You don't need another brain supplement to get your mental edge back. You need to fix your foundation. I share the exact barefoot walking and foot-strengthening protocols I used to lift the fog and restore my cognitive sharpness.Thank you to our sponsors!Suppgrade Labs | Grab your DAKE and Minerals 101 duo at shopsuppgradelabs.com and use code DAVEPOD for 15% off todayEssentia | Go to https://myessentia.com/daveand use code DAVE for $100 off The Dave Asprey Upgrade.iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVETimestamps:00:00 – Personal Experience00:47 – Root Cause: Not in Your Head01:05 – Blood Flow and Brain Function02:10 – The Calf Pump03:52 – Foot Sensory Signals04:26 – Nervous System Impact06:22 – How to Fix It07:51 – Personal ResultsConnect 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.

Enhanced Games Debut in Las Vegas as the First Openly Drug-Enabled "Biohacker Olympics" The inaugural Enhanced Games took place in Las Vegas with more than 40 elite athletes competing openly while using performance-enhancing drugs, a $25 million prize pool, and a $1 million world record bonus on the table. Host Dave Asprey, who serves on the advisory board of the Enhanced Games, breaks down why this event is less a sports story than a cultural signal: enhancement has moved from underground to prime time, and the institutions that spent decades controlling that conversation through drug testing and bans watched it happen on a stage in Las Vegas. Dave explains why WADA has always existed to protect institutions rather than athletes, why bodily sovereignty is the real issue at the center of this debate, and what it means that even with full transparency about what every athlete was taking, the records didn't fall quite the way you'd expect. The Enhanced Games are the closest thing yet to a public beta test for extreme human enhancement, and the data it generates will matter far beyond sport.

Host Dave Asprey breaks down the biology of what happens when the immune system stops containing an infection and starts attacking the body systemwide, why sepsis can escalate from manageable symptoms to a life-threatening emergency faster than most people expect, and why even someone with great biomarkers and a dialed-in health stack can be blindsided by an acute inflammatory crisis. The warning signs matter: worsening breathing, confusion, rapid decline, and a sense that something is badly wrong are emergency symptoms, not signals to wait and see. Longevity is not only about optimization rituals. It includes knowing when your biology is in crisis and acting before the window closes.

When Menin declined, aging accelerated. When researchers restored it in older mice, memory improved and lifespan increased. Host Dave Asprey explains why this finding challenges the dominant wear-and-tear model of aging, what it means that the hypothalamus may be running a coordinated aging program rather than simply accumulating damage over time, and why a control-room model of aging points toward fundamentally different intervention strategies than chasing downstream symptoms like fatigue and memory loss. The research connects aging to neuroinflammation, which has direct implications for how biohackers think about hypothalamic health right now. It is still animal research, but the mechanistic case is strong and the implications for longevity science are significant.

Host Dave Asprey breaks down why this result reframes depression as an immune biology problem for a meaningful subset of patients rather than a purely neurochemical one, and why the same inflammatory pathway that drives joint destruction in rheumatoid arthritis is showing up in the brains of people who don't respond to antidepressants. The practical implication is not to seek out a biologic drug off-label. It is to recognize that persistent low mood, fatigue, and low resilience may warrant a deeper biological workup than standard screening provides, starting with IL-6, CRP, and a full inflammatory panel. The brain is downstream of the immune system more than most psychiatry has been willing to admit, and this trial is the clearest evidence yet of why that matters.

Host Dave Asprey explains why this finding is liberating rather than deterministic, what it means that genetics loads the dice on lifespan more than the mainstream has been willing to admit, and why personalized longevity strategy matters far more than generic population-level advice. Your genes load the dice but you still roll them. The study pushes the field toward genetic stratification and biomarker-based personalization, and it validates the core premise that the same intervention will not produce the same outcome in every person. Get your genetics tested and build your strategy from your own baseline, not from what worked for the average person in a study.

How CD38, PARP, and Leaky Gut Are Destroying Your NAD Levels | Dr. Andrew Salzman Your NAD is being drained by two hidden enzymes, your gut may be the starting point of every aging process in your body, and creatine does something to your mitochondria that has nothing to do with muscle. This episode rewrites what you thought you knew about longevity, anti-aging biology, and how your body actually produces and delivers energy at the cellular level. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Explore all of Wonderfeel's products at: getwonderfeel.com/dave They are gifting a complimentary 7-day Youngr™ supply (mini pouch) with every order across any of their products. The code will be DAVE, and the campaign will be active through June 6th. Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Andrew Salzman, a physician, inventor, and biomedical entrepreneur with more than 30 years of experience in drug discovery and development. An alumnus of Harvard Medical School, Yale University, and Columbia University, Dr. Salzman has authored more than 170 scientific publications and holds 50 patents. He invented the original clinical-stage PARP-1 inhibitor, leading to the world's first clinical treatment for raising NAD levels and fighting cancers caused by the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. Genentech licensed his breakthrough technology for $600 million. His research into gastrointestinal microbiota, autoimmune disease, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial ATP production now forms the foundation of how millions of patients get treated worldwide. Dr. Salzman names the two biggest NAD drains in your body, CD38 and PARP, and explains why taking NMN or NR alone is like filling a bathtub with the drain wide open. He breaks down the formulation science behind pairing NAD precursors with CD38 blockers like hydroxytyrosol alongside PARP-reducing antioxidants like ergothioneine, and delivers a paradigm-shifting explanation of creatine as an energy distribution network inside your cells. Rather than a simple muscle supplement, creatine acts as a high-speed ATP shuttle that carries energy from your mitochondria to the precise location and moment your brain, gut, and heart need it most. You'll Learn: Why NAD declines with age and which two enzymes are primarily responsible for draining it How CD38 rises with inflammation rather than NAD levels, and what that means for your supplement strategy Why creatine is one of the most underrated anti-aging and brain optimization supplements available How creatine functions as a spatial and temporal energy delivery network for your brain, gut, and heart Why the gut may be the origin point of the entire aging process and how that cascade unfolds decade by decade How leaky gut drives systemic inflammation, crashes NAD, and accelerates biological aging throughout the body What controls tight junction integrity and how ATP, butyrate, creatine, and fasting all play a role Why most creatine supplements fail to absorb properly and what to look for in a high-quality source How to rebuild your microbiome in three to four weeks through diet alone, without antibiotics Why walking immediately after a meal may be doing more harm than good to your gut lining Thank you to our sponsors! - Screenfit | Get your at-home eye training program for 40% off using code DAVE at https://www.screenfit.com/dave. - 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 - Pique | Go to Piquelife.com/dave for 20% 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.

“Why did the Church end weekly fasting?” This question opens a discussion on the evolution of Church practices, alongside inquiries about the Church’s stance on jousting, the concept of limbo for infants, and the pastoral duties of priests. These topics reflect the diverse concerns and curiosities within the Catholic faith today. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:50 – Why Did the church kill off weekly fasting? 08:00 – I have heard the Church banned jousting. Does that mean we can't do that at Medieval Times? 13:27 – Is it acceptable for Catholics to believe in the limbo of the infants? 19:13 – How do I articulate the Catholic position that it is not faith alone that saves, without sounding like our works save us? 28:00 – Modeling Jesus in Dating Before Marriage 34:36 – I've been going through some ongoing stalking, hacking, and financial fraud. I thought I could go to the Church for help but they don't seem to be able to offer me support. What are the pastoral duties of a priest? I've been thinking of leaving the Catholic Church because of this. 43:54 – Why is it the norm in the US to receive communion in the hand and standing? Why did it change from what seems to be a more reverent posture? 48:09 – How can the Church hold up Mary and Joseph as an ideal marriage, when they did not consummate and therefore it would not have had a sacramental marriage? 51:23 – When should you leave your parish for another parish based on your priest teaching false things? My priest is very loving and kind, but is not on board with some doctrines and some sexual teaching of the Church?

The Hidden Causes of Brain Fog, Anxiety, and Chronic Illness: Mold, Parasites, Histamine, and Low Cortisol If you're exhausted, inflamed, and can't figure out why, the answer might be hiding in your histamine, your hormones, your home, or something living inside you that your doctor will never test for. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Jessica Peatross, a former hospitalist turned functional medicine powerhouse who walked away from a conventional medical career after discovering that 90% of disease traces back to lifestyle, environment, and the toxins most doctors ignore. After graduating magna cum laude and earning her medical degree from the University of Louisville, Dr. Jess pursued training in functional medicine, nutrigenomics, and alternative therapies, and now helps thousands of patients reverse chronic illness through her KillBindSweat method and WellnessPlus app. She is also the formulator and CMO of Aegis Formulas and a leading voice at international health conferences. If chronic illness, mold toxicity, or hormonal chaos is on your radar, she is the person you want in your corner. Together, Dave and Dr. Jess go deep into the hidden drivers of mystery symptoms that functional medicine is finally starting to crack open. They cover why low cortisol is more dangerous than high cortisol, how histamine and mast cell activation syndrome explain everything from anxiety and brain fog to endometriosis and POTS, and why most "Lyme disease" is actually undiagnosed mold toxicity. They also break down the parasite epidemic hiding in plain sight across the United States, the B vitamin mistake making millions of people sicker, and why your metabolism, mitochondria, and mental health are all downstream of things your standard lab panel will never catch. This episode also gets into the real story behind Dr. Jess surrendering her California medical license rather than comply with a system she believed was working against patient health. Her firsthand account of the medical board process is something every person who cares about medical freedom needs to hear. You'll Learn: Why everyone who is chronically sick has a low cortisol awakening response and what to do about it How histamine drives anxiety, racing thoughts, palpitations, bloating, skin issues, and hormonal chaos Why 90% of people diagnosed with Lyme disease actually have toxic mold and how to test for both The parasite epidemic in the U.S. and why standard testing misses most of it How the spike protein reactivates dormant viruses and feeds the histamine loop behind long COVID Why synthetic B6 causes the very neuropathy it is supposed to fix, and what to take instead The cortisol, adrenaline, and blood pressure connection that explains "wired but tired" How progesterone stabilizes mast cells and why estrogen dominance fuels inflammation and reactivity Why Dave Asprey uses low-dose cortisol, dexamethasone, and modafinil as part of his daily performance stack The mold binders that actually work, and which popular ones can harm hypermobile people How nicotine at low doses blocks spike protein from ACE2 receptors and protects the brain What the MTHFR gene, methylation, and folic acid have to do with breast cancer, depression, and estrogen detox Thank you to our sponsors! - iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVE - 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 - Calroy | Go to Calroy.com/DAVE for exclusive discounts on Arterosil HP, Vascanox HP and all Calroy products. - Cowboy Colostrum | Get your gut right by going to cowboycolostrum.com/asprey for 25% off of your entire order. -Amp | If you're ready to make fitness fit into your life, go to amp.ai to check it outDave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.
