Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Mona Sharma, a renowned Ayurvedic practitioner, celebrity wellness expert, and functional medicine advocate who grew up in a Canadian ashram. Mona combines ancient Vedic practices with cutting-edge science to help her clients, including Will Smith and other high-profile figures, achieve high performance, emotional resilience, and deep-rooted healing. She translates the 5,000-year-old system of Ayurveda into practical strategies anyone can use to optimize health in today's chaotic world. Together, they explore how Ayurvedic biohacking techniques like breathwork, circadian alignment, detoxification, and herbal medicine are now being validated by data in neuroscience, mitochondrial biology, and functional medicine. They also dive into trauma, stress rewiring, nervous system resilience, and how to build your own modern “ashram” for healing and longevity. You'll learn how to shift from hypervigilance into calm, how to optimize vagal tone, and how ancient practices like tongue scraping and ghee detox intersect with modern tools like cold therapy, nootropics, sleep optimization, and self-quantification.

My guest this week is author of "The Athos Diet" and director of the emergency department at UPMC, Dr. Peter Patitsas. Informed by his Greek Orthodox heritage, he has discovered a method to stay healthy with high energy to meet the daily grind. Dr. Pete visited Greece many times as a youth and lived there after graduating college. He was forever impacted by his journey to Mt. Athos and has spent countless weeks living at monasteries across the globe: a place where time stops and meaning is the highest good. It is no coincidence that within a place of the True, the Good, and the Beautiful, there would be found something that can bring a salve to suffering. We discuss the spiritual and physical benefits that the diet governed by the liturgical calendar of the Orthodox Church can give to us.

It's been a minute since the Perrys dedicated an episode to the topic of prayer, and they realize they pray differently today than they did back then. Just as sanctification changes who you are, it also changes your prayer life, so what do their prayers look like now?Jackie and Preston also take a look at several examples of prayer in the Bible. Scripture shows us how we can approach God when we think He is disciplining us or when we doubt He is for us. Prayer grounds us as Christians, reminding us that we can't lean on our own understanding. Through both prayer and fasting, God wants us to quiet our souls so we become more dependent on Him. You can also go back and watch the Perrys' conversation on prayer from 2022: Prayer: The Discipline We All Suck AtScripture references:John 15:2Romans 8:312 Corinthians 1:92 Kings 19:141 Samuel 2Acts 4:23-29Daniel 3:17-18Luke 22:42-43Isaiah 58:5-8 This Episode of With The Perrys is Sponsored By:https://weekendtoremember.com — Get $100 off when you use code PERRY at checkout!https://www.covenanteyes.com — Get Victory by Covenant Eyes FREE for 30 days with promo code PERRYS Subscribe to the Perrys' newsletter.To support the work of the Perrys, donate via PayPal.www.withtheperrys.comboldapparel.shopwww.jackiehillperry.comwww.preston-perry.com

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 happens to your body during a 3-day fast? In this video, we'll cover the fasting health benefits of both intermittent fasting and extended fasting for 72 hours or longer. I'll also share some expert fasting tips for even more fasting benefits. 0:00 Introduction: Not eating for 3 days?1:02 Intermittent fasting benefits1:44 Extended fasting benefits3:12 Autophagy and fasting 4:22 72-hour fast benefits 4:49 Immune benefits of extended fasting5:36 Fasting tips 6:28 How to break a fastDid you know that insulin resistance is behind most chronic diseases, including many types of cancer? Frequent eating leads to insulin resistance, which blocks cells from getting fuel. Diets involving 5 to 6 small meals daily destroy the metabolism the most!An intermittent fasting plan involving 18 hours of fasting with a 6-hour eating window can provide tremendous health benefits, such as weight loss in the midsection, improved mood, and decreased inflammation. A 24 to 48-hour fast can significantly magnify the benefits of fasting. Extended fasting enables you to deplete the stored glycogen in your liver. You may also notice significant initial water weight loss. During a 1 to 2-day fast, most of your fuel will come from ketones. Your microbes will thrive, and growth hormone will increase, boosting muscle growth and burning fat.Ketones will feed the neurons in the brain, so you may notice improved cognitive function.Extended fasting allows you to get into a state of autophagy, where your body removes damaged cells and proteins and creates new ones. Autophagy also allows you to build new brain cells. A 3-day fast can produce even more benefits! Extended fasting for 72 hours can clean up intracellular pathogens, including Epstein-Barr and herpes viruses. A 3-day fast can stimulate your immune system, protecting you against cancer and autoimmune diseases. You can achieve results similar to stem cell therapy for free!If you're unsure of how to fast and want to make the process as comfortable and beneficial as possible, try these fasting tips for the most fasting benefits:•Coffee and tea are okay during a water fast•Make sure you have enough sea salt•Consume electrolytes like potassium and magnesiumRefeeding can have a negative impact after a 3-day fast. It's best to rebuild your caloric intake slowly. Bone broth is a great option to break your fast.

Open Forum: Pastor Amos led a multifaceted discussion covering ministry development, fasting, obedience, and spiritual growth. He announced the upcoming Ministry Accelerator event on June 21st for those with ministerial callings and shared that the Open Forum time has moved to 9 PM EST on Wednesdays. Arlene requested prayer regarding a potential business opportunity, and Pastor Amos offered guidance on discerning God's will. The group also explored fasting as a spiritual discipline rather than a mandate, with Alicia, Nehemie, and others expressing a desire to grow in prayer and study. Nehemie and Stephanie raised questions about obedience, tithing, and giving, which Pastor Amos addressed by emphasizing listening to the Holy Spirit and giving from the heart. LaToya and Pastor Amos underscored the importance of believers personally understanding Scripture and how Christianity empowers women through service. The conversation concluded with a reflection on marriage, emphasizing unconditional love and mutual service, and a group prayer for Curtis, who is recovering from a stroke.   Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. We are in the Gospel of Mark. Visit the website and purchase the Scripture Journal for this study so that you can follow along with us. Today, we're looking at Mark 2:18-20: Now John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting. And people came and said to him, “Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” And Jesus said to them, “Can the wedding guests fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast. The days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day. — Mark 2:18-20 People didn't know what to do with Jesus. He wasn't following their religious routines. He wasn't fasting like the Pharisees or even like John's disciples. To the watching crowd, it seemed like Jesus was breaking the rules. But Jesus wasn't breaking rules or ignoring tradition—he was living by God's rule while fulfilling God's plan. In a way, this appeared new to many onlookers. But it wasn't new. It was just lived out completely and perfectly, and not in the way people expected. Then he answered their question using an image they would understand: a wedding feast. No one fasts when the groom is standing in the room. You celebrate. You feast. You enjoy the moment. Jesus was showing them something revolutionary: The Bridegroom was here. The celebration had started. The feast had begun. There would be a time for fasting again, but that time wasn't now. Right now, they were standing in the presence of God made flesh—and that demanded a response of joy. Jesus showed us a better way. No rituals. No checklists. Just joy. Because the bridegroom was here and rose again. Feast. Laugh. Worship. Live every moment in the celebration of his presence. Let that joy fuel your day—and everything you share with others. #BridegroomHere, #FeastNotFast, #Mark2 ASK THIS: How might I shift from religious routine to genuine joy in Jesus today? What “feast” can I create to celebrate Christ's presence in my life? When have I mistaken rituals for relationship in my faith journey? How will I prepare my heart to fast when the bridegroom is away? DO THIS: Today, choose joy over obligation—celebrate Jesus' presence with a smile, song, or shared meal. PRAY THIS: Jesus, I rejoice in your presence as my bridegroom and find freedom in celebrating you. Help me feast on your grace today. Amen PLAY THIS: House of the Lord.

Fasting! In all its forms and purposes. We take a wander through world religions to see how fasting plays a part in almost all of them. Mormon fasting is far less peculiar than we thought. Then a few episodes of South Park that provide wonderful commentary on fasting, the economy, and witch hunts. We round out with happy news about land being returned to Indigenous people and burn through listener mail that's been piling up.  Show notes:    Fasting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting  Fasting: https://www.britannica.com/topic/fasting  Religious Fasting: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Religious_fasting  Fasting in Islam: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting_in_Islam  Ramadan: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramadan  Native Teachings are about a way of life: https://mushkiki.com/programs-services/fasting/   Fasting in Jainism: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasting_in_Jainism   With Lent almost over, here's why religions fast: https://www.cnn.com/2017/04/07/world/religious-fasting-traditions-finding-jesus/index.html  Fasting in African Spirituality: https://asanee44.com/fasting-in-african-spirituality/  Sam Young: https://protecteverychild.com/  Hunger strikes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_strike  Nonviolent resistance:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonviolent_resistance  Civil disobedience: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_disobedience  Violet Bland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violet_Bland  Emmeline Pankhurst: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmeline_Pankhurst  The Pankhurst Sisters: How suffragettes changed the world: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ax2wGWNco0k  Prisoners (Temporary Discharge for Ill-Health) Act 1913: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoners_(Temporary_Discharge_for_Ill-Health)_Act_1913  Intermittent Fasting: Fad or valid weight-loss solution: https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/intermittent-fasting-fad-or-solution   The Effects of Fasting on Drug Metabolism https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/17425255.2020.1706728#d1e326 MOGP:  South Park  Spontaneous Combustion S3E2 Margaritaville S13E3 Sons of Witches S21E6   Happy News:  https://apnews.com/article/potawatomi-illinois-treaty-reservation-805f5030d9abbac93ce3da3cec18a636   Other appearances: Chris Shelton interviewed us in the beginning of a series on Mormonism.

Episode #204 In this Fasting Q&A episode, Megan Ramos answers some of your fasting questions: 1. On eating days I almost always feel very full. I try to make my meal portions smaller but I still feel full. I don't seem to feel hunger cues on eating days nor fasting days. Have 20 years of dieting broken my body? My usual fasting protocol is three 36s, lately, two 42s. (Ewelina) [01:34] 2. I've read on some of the PCOS blogs that you shouldn't skip breakfast because it balances your blood sugar, but I find it harder to meet my fasting goals when I eat breakfast. Is this a reference to early, time-restricted eating? Is it better to meet the fasting goal of longer fasts or to consume the meals earlier in the day? [04:45] 3. How do I not lose much more weight with extended fasts for autophagy? I am 71 and have lost 44  pounds over an 8-month period (1 pound on most weeks, never more). I have loose skin on my arms, belly, and legs, and I am looking older than I ever have! I will be doing 24-hour fasts to maintain my weight loss. (Anne) [09:47]  4. I started doing the 42-hour extended fasts (sometimes three a week, sometimes two) to switch it up. I'm not losing weight or inches. What am I doing wrong?

In this can't-miss episode, I'm joined by the one and only Ben Azadi—keto authority, metabolic health detective, and author of the powerhouse book “Metabolic Freedom.” If you've ever found yourself stuck in “metabolic prison”—think weight that won't budge, crushing fatigue, crazy cravings, or insulin resistance that no prescription seems to touch—Ben is here to break the chains. We're diving deep into what it really means to be metabolically broken (spoiler alert: a shocking 93% of Americans fall into this category), and Ben lays out exactly why your lab work and scale are just scratching the surface when it comes to true health, longevity, and disease prevention. But this episode goes way beyond “just eat less, move more.” We're busting the myths that are keeping you stuck—like calories in/calories out, snacking every two hours, and thinking “healthy” foods can't spike your blood sugar. You'll learn why high insulin is public enemy number one for thyroid, weight loss, and your brain (yes, even Alzheimer's is on the table). We talk actionable lab markers, supercharged supplements (hello, apple cider vinegar and berberine!), and the real culprit behind “food noise.” Most of all, Ben shares how metabolic freedom is rooted not just in what you eat, but how you think—chapter 10 of his book is honestly worth the price alone. If you're ready to ditch frustration, take charge of your health, and build a metaphorical (or literal) bonfire out of your old diet rules—this is your invitation to join us in "Optimization Land".

Fasting could be making you gain weight… if you're doing it wrong. In this episode, Ben breaks down the 7 most common fasting mistakes that sabotage fat loss, spike cortisol, and stall your results — straight from Chapter 8 of his new book Metabolic Freedom. ✅ Why skipping breakfast may backfire ✅ The protein rule every fasting person must follow ✅ How to balance fasting with stress, sleep & hormones ✅ The truth about diet drinks, electrolytes, and fasting-safe beverages ✅ Best way to break your fast without spiking blood sugar

Fasting helps us focus our attention on God and attune our spirits to His will.

Low testosterone is sabotaging your health, motivation, and longevity. Diet alone will not fix it. In this episode of The Human Upgrade, Dave Asprey sits down with Shalin Shah, CEO of Marius Pharmaceuticals, to expose the truth about testosterone decline in both men and women. They break down why testosterone is crashing worldwide, why natural fixes almost always fail, and how the latest science finally makes testosterone therapy safer, simpler, and more effective than ever before. You will discover why testosterone is essential for dopamine, brain function, sleep, muscle, libido, and mitochondrial health.

Temptation is as constant and real as gravity—a daily battle that every believer faces. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar remind Christians that they are never alone in this struggle, and the enemy wants them to believe otherwise. Isolation is one of Satan's strongest tools, but God calls believers to live in the light and walk in community. When one believer confesses a struggle, another can offer encouragement, reminding them that being tempted is part of the Christian journey. A fear of the Lord becomes a shield against compromise. Every time Jesus was tempted, He responded with Scripture. In the same way, when believers store the Word in their hearts, the Holy Spirit brings it to mind at crucial moments, arming them with truth that weakens the power of temptation.Prayer is to be ongoing. Even Elijah, who shared the same human nature, prayed earnestly and witnessed the power of God. The model of praying to be delivered from temptation and evil is not optional—it is essential. Spiritual discipline plays a critical role in a believer's strength. Fasting, once a common practice in the early church, has been overlooked by many today. In avoiding legalism, many have also rejected discipline, but Scripture teaches that while salvation is a gift of grace, Christians are created for good works. Discipline, when motivated by love for God, helps conform believers to the image of Christ.Resisting temptation is not about earning favor, but about growing in Christlikeness. God has predestined His people to be conformed to His Son, and resistance is a part of that transformation. Humility is key—recognizing that apart from God, nothing is deserved but judgment. Gratitude flows from this awareness. The best way to flee temptation is to have somewhere better to run. Redirecting desires toward Christ changes the battle entirely. Believers are the reward of Jesus's obedience, and understanding His love is stronger than any willpower.Standing strong also means running with the right people. Christians grow when they walk with others who are running the race well. Community, scripture, prayer, evangelism, and fellowship all strengthen the soul. Ephesians teaches that the real battle is spiritual and that the armor of God is essential. Believers must be aware of their weaknesses, seek counsel, pursue repentance, and embrace accountability. Like Joseph before Potiphar's wife, believers must refuse, reason, resist—and then run. Those who believe they cannot fall are often the first to do so. Temptation is real, but so is the strength found in Christ.Send us a textThanks for listening!
