Vagus Nerve Stimulation Improves Cognitive Scores in a Small Trial In a 24-week trial involving people with mild cognitive impairment, participants assigned to electrical stimulation at vagus-innervated parts of the ear improved by an average of 3.2 points on a general cognitive test, compared with 0.3 points in a sham-stimulation group. Host Dave Asprey explores the proposed connection between the vagus nerve and the locus coeruleus, a brainstem region involved in attention and learning. He explains why an improved test score is intriguing but does not show that vagus nerve stimulation prevents Alzheimer's disease—or that a consumer device will reproduce the study's results.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih+1 Sources: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36150665/ https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13214873/ https://theconversation.com/vagus-nerve-stimulation-shows-promise-as-a-way-to-counter-alzheimers-disease-and-age-related-memory-loss-269465 ~~~Nearly 500 Cat Tumors Reveal Cancer Genes Shared With Humans Researchers analyzed 493 matched tumor and normal-tissue samples across 13 types of cancer in domestic cats. They found alterations in genes familiar to human cancer researchers, including TP53, and tested whether a mutation called FBXW7 might predict drug sensitivity in lab-grown models of feline mammary tumors. Host Dave Asprey examines why naturally occurring cancers in pets could help scientists investigate treatments across species, while making clear that a promising response in six laboratory tumor models is not a proven treatment for cats or people.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih Sources: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7618901/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41712721/ https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260924231826.htm ~~~Twin-Family Study Challenges a Simple Explanation for Inherited Intelligence Why do parents and children often score similarly on tests of cognitive ability? Researchers using Germany's TwinLife data found that genetic transmission explained more of that resemblance than the particular shared-home-environment pathway their model tested. Host Dave Asprey unpacks the distinction between why relatives resemble one another and whether a child's environment matters. The study does not show that parenting, education, or other experiences have no effect on cognition.pub.uni-bielefeld+1 Sources: https://pub.uni-bielefeld.de/record/2993432 https://www.psypost.org/genetics-not-shared-environments-drives-parent-child-similarities-in-cognitive-ability/ ~~~Mulberry Compounds May Change Gut Bacteria and Metabolism A review of mulberry research highlights how leaves, fruit, and differently processed extracts contain distinct mixtures of compounds that gut microbes may use. In mouse experiments, a fraction combining mulberry polyphenols and polysaccharides produced more favorable microbiome and metabolic changes than either fraction alone; transferring microbes from treated mice passed along some of those effects. Host Dave Asprey explores the idea that a plant extract's preparation may matter as much as its name—and why the findings do not yet establish a microbiome benefit from mulberry products in humans.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih+1 Sources: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC13406227/ https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260928100551.htm ~~~Magnesium Changes Vitamin D Metabolism—But Not Always in the Same Direction Magnesium helps regulate the pathways that process vitamin D, but “more magnesium means more vitamin D” is too simple. In a 12-week randomized trial involving 180 adults, magnesium supplementation changed a measured vitamin D metabolite differently depending on participants' starting vitamin D levels: the modeled difference was positive at 30 ng/mL and negative at 50 ng/mL. Host Dave Asprey explains why this matters to people tracking supplement stacks and bloodwork, while distinguishing a change in a lab marker from a demonstrated health benefit.pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih+1 Sources: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6693398/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29480918/ https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/02/180226122548.htm This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity enthusiasts, pet owners, parents, and anyone trying to separate a compelling biological mechanism from a proven health intervention. Host Dave Asprey examines brain stimulation and memory, what cat cancers could teach human researchers, how genes and environment contribute to cognitive similarity, whether mulberry's microbiome effects translate beyond mice, and why nutrient interactions are rarely as simple as a supplement headline suggests. Several studies discussed here predate this week's coverage; this is a research roundup, not a list of five newly published trials.pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih+4 New episodes every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.

Skin Longevity, Cellular Repair, Red Light Therapy & the Biology of Younger Skin with Young Goose Host Dave Asprey sits down with Amitay Eshel and Anastasia Khodzhaeva, co-founders of Young Goose, to explore the emerging science of skin longevity, cellular aging, mitochondrial function, exosomes, NAD+, red light therapy, and what it may take to keep skin functioning younger for longer. Anastasia is a biologist, biohacker, and co-CEO of Young Goose who began her career in biomedical research focused on liver fibrosis and breast cancer before moving into wellness, product development, and longevity-focused skincare. Amitay is co-founder and CEO of Young Goose and host of the Biohacking Beauty podcast, with more than a decade of experience across health, wellness, beauty, and business development. Together, they focus on applying longevity science and performance optimization to skin health. Amitay and Anastasia explain why wrinkles may be only one visible sign of a much deeper biological process involving declining cellular energy, weakened barrier function, oxidative stress, senescence, and changes in how skin cells repair themselves. They break down how newer approaches to skincare are moving beyond surface-level hydration toward targeting the cellular mechanisms associated with aging. The conversation goes deep into testing, including a metabolomics-based approach designed to assess skin metabolic age from a small blood sample and analyze 17 different metabolites. They also discuss emerging proteomics testing that can examine thousands of proteins involved in processes such as collagen production, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and cellular repair. Dave, Amitay, and Anastasia explore some of the most unusual compounds now being used in skin longevity, including methylene blue, NAD+ precursors, spermidine, ergothioneine, superoxide dismutase, copper peptides, ectoin, and gotu kola. They explain how these compounds may interact with mitochondrial energy production, oxidative stress, mitophagy, collagen signaling, and the broader hallmarks of aging. They also break down red light therapy and why combining light with certain topical compounds may influence the response. The discussion covers methylene blue and electron transport, copper peptides and mitochondrial biogenesis, light-activated DNA repair enzymes, photodamage, reactive oxygen species, and why dose and timing may matter when using red or near-infrared light. The episode also dives into platelet-derived “Vampire Exosomes,” how exosomes carry cellular instructions through microRNAs, why formulation and stability matter, and how these signaling particles may influence skin repair, inflammation, collagen production, and senescence. Dave and the Young Goose team also discuss growth factors, klotho, senomorphic strategies, cellular longevity, and why extending the functional life of healthy cells may become an important frontier in longevity science. They also explore practical skincare routines, including how to layer products, what Dave uses while traveling, how airplanes and dry environments affect skin, why aggressive acids may not always fit a long-term skin longevity strategy, and how AI-based skin analysis could make skincare increasingly personalized. This is essential listening for anyone interested in skin longevity, anti-aging skincare, exosomes, methylene blue, NAD+, red light therapy, mitochondrial health, senescent cells, collagen, peptides, cellular repair, metabolomics, proteomics, biohacking, and the future of personalized skincare. You'll Learn: Why wrinkles may be a downstream sign of deeper cellular aging How skin metabolic age can be assessed using metabolomics and multiple biological markers What methylene blue may do inside mitochondria and why it pairs with red light How NAD+ precursors, spermidine, copper peptides, SOD, and ergothioneine may support skin biology Why platelet-derived “Vampire Exosomes” are being studied for cellular signaling, repair, and senescence How red light therapy interacts with mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and DNA repair Why some traditional acids and surface-level skincare strategies may not address long-term skin function How proteomics and AI could change the way skincare is measured and personalized What Dave and the Young Goose team use to support skin during travel and other high-stress environments Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Fatty Liver, GLP-1s, Alcohol, Hormones, Brain Fog, Weight Gain & Longevity Host Dave Asprey sits down with Siggi Clavien, Founder and CEO of The Liver Clinic and de-liver-ance, to explore why the liver may be one of the most overlooked organs in metabolism, hormone health, detoxification, brain function, weight management, and longevity. Siggi explains why fatty liver can develop without obvious symptoms and why someone can appear lean and healthy while still have significant liver fat. Drawing on thousands of liver scans, he shares what his team has observed in people whose blood markers appeared normal despite signs of fatty liver on imaging, and explains how tools such as FibroScan can reveal liver fat, stiffness, and fibrosis. Dave and Siggi go deep into triglycerides, cholesterol, insulin resistance, brain fog, weight gain, bile production, thyroid hormone activation, testosterone, estrogen metabolism, and liver regeneration. They also explore how alcohol, environmental chemicals, plastics, processed foods, artificial sweeteners, medications, and other exposures may place additional stress on the liver. The conversation also tackles rapid weight loss and GLP-1 medications, including Siggi's concerns about compounds released from fat tissue during aggressive weight loss and why protecting muscle, eating enough protein, and supporting liver function may matter during the process. Dave and Siggi also discuss alcohol, estrogen, hormone replacement therapy, glutathione, choline, bile flow, supplement quality, and why liver health may influence systems throughout the body. The episode takes an unexpected turn into microchimerism and organ transplantation, including donor cells, DNA, cellular memory, and reported changes in behavior or personality after transplantation. This is essential listening for anyone interested in fatty liver, metabolic health, GLP-1s, weight loss, hormone health, estrogen, testosterone, thyroid function, alcohol, brain fog, insulin resistance, liver scans, longevity, choline, glutathione, bile flow, and biohacking. You'll Learn: Why fatty liver can develop even in people who are thin or rarely drink alcohol Why normal bloodwork may not always reveal what is happening inside the liver How liver health connects to metabolism, brain fog, weight gain, hormones, and thyroid function What rapid weight loss and GLP-1 use may mean for liver function How alcohol, estrogen, HRT, bile, choline, and glutathione interact with liver health Why liver scans, nutrition, and supplement quality may matter for long-term health Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

In this episode, Dr. Scott Watier gets ahead of the fourth quarter, unpacking the Wharton "fresh start effect" research on why people wait for January to recommit — and why that costs them three of the most important months of the year. He debunks the holiday weight gain myth using the landmark NEJM study of 195 adults, which found an average gain of less than a pound over the holidays, but the real danger: that small gain typically doesn't come off, and follow-up data showed it had doubled by the next fall, eventually accounting for roughly half of a person's total annual weight gain. Scott lays out three research-backed principles for fasting through Q4: flex your eating window around big events instead of abandoning your habit entirely, decide your break-fast time, first food, and window close in advance using "if-then" implementation intentions (backed by a meta-analysis of 94 studies showing a strong effect on goal achievement), and remember that one off-plan meal doesn't write the story, citing University of Toronto research on the "what the hell effect" where a single slip leads people to abandon the whole day or week. He also shares a striking meal-order study showing that eating protein and vegetables before carbs lowered one-hour blood sugar by 37% and insulin by 50% compared to eating carbs first. The episode closes with a two-minute challenge: pick one upcoming food event and write down exactly when you'll break your fast, what you'll eat first, and when your window closes.

For many women, the wellness strategies that carried them through their 20s and 30s can start to backfire in perimenopause. Changes in hormones, muscle mass, insulin sensitivity, sleep, and stress can make midlife feel like a completely different metabolic landscape.In this episode of Metabolic Mind, Dr. Bret Scher speaks with nurse practitioner Cynthia Thurlow about why perimenopause can act like a metabolic stress test. They explore how midlife can change the way women respond to carbohydrates, fasting, exercise, meal timing, and other strategies they may have relied on for years.As Women's Health Month brings more attention to the health challenges women face across different stages of life, this conversation focuses on one that is still too often misunderstood: the metabolic transition through perimenopause and menopause.They cover:How perimenopause can affect insulin sensitivity and body compositionWhy preserving muscle becomes increasingly important in midlifeThe roles of sleep, stress, protein, meal timing, and strength trainingHow intermittent fasting may need to change across the menstrual cycle and menopauseWhen ketosis may help with metabolic symptoms, and why some women may benefit from more dietary flexibilityHow PMDD and severe PMS may relate to the perimenopause transitionWhere hormone replacement therapy may fit into an individualized planThe potential role of GLP-1 medications alongside lifestyle changesWhy fiber and the gut microbiome deserve more attention during menopauseSimple steps women can take now, including walking after meals, improving sleep, and staying well hydratedCynthia's message is that while midlife can bring meaningful metabolic and hormonal changes, with the right support, there are practical ways to adjust nutrition, exercise, sleep, and other strategies to support overall health and wellbeing.

Fasting 1. Examples of fasting 2. Uses for fasting 3. The Saviour Who fasted

Send us Fan MailWhen You Fast | Matthew 6:16–18What is fasting really about?In this message from Matthew 6:16–18, we are invited to examine not only whether we fast, but why we fast.Fasting can easily become focused on what we want from God—a breakthrough, healing, provision, opportunity or answer.But biblical fasting takes us deeper.It says:“Lord, even more than I want what I am asking for, I want You.”This message also warns against two distortions of fasting: trying to manipulate God and using spiritual disciplines as a public performance. Jesus instead directs us toward the Father who sees what is done in secret. The deeper question is:What are you really hungry for?The sermon ends with a simple prayer:Jesus, we want You.Because the deepest fruit of fasting is not merely saying, “I completed the fast.”It is being able to say:“Christ became more precious to me.”

Are you intermittent fasting the wrong way? Many people focus on how long they fast—but according to nutrition scientist and science communicator Melanie Murphy of L-Nutra, when you eat may matter just as much. In this episode of Six Weeks to Fitness, Vince Ferguson talks with Melanie about intermittent fasting, circadian rhythm, fasting after 40, protein intake, metabolic health, the Fasting Mimicking Diet, Prolon, muscle preservation, sleep, longevity and healthspan. Melanie explains why some popular intermittent fasting schedules may work against the body's natural circadian rhythm and why eating late in the day can be very different from eating earlier. She also discusses why breakfast may be more important than many people think and what people should understand before adopting a fasting routine. But fasting isn't the only controversial topic we tackle. Are some people consuming too much protein in the pursuit of muscle and better health? What happens inside the body during a fast? What is autophagy? Can you get some of the benefits associated with fasting while still eating? And how does the Fasting Mimicking Diet differ from traditional water fasting? Melanie also discusses the research behind fasting and metabolic health, the importance of protecting muscle as we age, why sleep is one of her personal non-negotiables, and why healthspan—not simply lifespan—should be part of the longevity conversation. Vince also shares his own experience trying the Prolon 5-Day Fasting Mimicking Diet.  If you're over 40 and interested in intermittent fasting, healthy aging, nutrition, metabolic health, maintaining muscle, longevity and adding more life to your years, this conversation will give you plenty to think about. Topics discussed include: intermittent fasting • fasting after 40 • circadian rhythm • fasting mistakes • meal timing • protein intake • metabolic health • autophagy • Prolon • Fasting Mimicking Diet • L-Nutra • muscle preservation • healthy aging • longevity • healthspan • sleep • nutrition after 40 

Daniel's Prayer Was “seeking him {God} by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting . . . ‘O Lord, the great and awesome God . . . we have sinned and done wrong'” MESSAGE SUMMARY: There are times when you need clarity, understanding, knowledge and insights from God about the specific issues that you, your family, your church, or your country are facing. In your personal relationship with God as a Jesus Follower, the Lord will speak to you; but sometimes it takes your listening and fasting to hear Him. For example, when Joel received a Word when the land was to be destroyed, he called a fast (i.e. Joel 1:14): “Consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.”. Some things you are facing in your life must be dealt with by both prayer and fasting. Fasting releases a spiritual power – in your weakness, God is made strong in your life. Daniel's prayer, from Daniel 9:3-5, provides a context for asking direction from God: “Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes. I prayed to the LORD my God and made confession, saying, ‘O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled, turning aside from your commandments and rules.'".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, Sabbath rest is truly an unbelievable gift! Thank you that there is nothing I can do to earn your love; it comes without any strings attached. As I close my eyes for these few minutes before you, all I can say is, thank you! In Jesus' name, amen.  Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 133). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because of what God has done for me in His Son, Jesus, I AM RIGHTEOUS IN GOD'S EYES. God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God. 2 Corinthians 5:21 SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Joel 1:13-16; Matthew 6:16; Daniel 9:3-7; Psalms138:1-8.

Joel 2:12-17  "A Call for Prayer and Fasting"  Pastor Wes Holland, preaching

Novo Nordisk Eyes Hair-Loss Market in Consumer-Health Expansion Novo Nordisk, the company behind Ozempic and Wegovy, is exploring hair loss as one of several possible areas for future expansion, alongside menopause and addiction. The company has not announced a hair-loss drug, clinical trial, acquisition, or partnership, but Chief Scientific Officer Martin Holst Lange pointed to the category during the company's 2026 Capital Markets Day. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why hair loss makes strategic sense for a company already deeply involved in endocrine biology, how emerging treatments are moving beyond traditional options like minoxidil and finasteride, and why sudden shedding during rapid GLP-1 weight loss may be telogen effluvium rather than traditional pattern baldness. Sources: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-09-22/ozempic-maker-novo-looks-to-target-hair-loss-in-consumer-push https://www.novonordisk.com/investors/capital-markets-day-2026.html https://www.irishexaminer.com/business/companies/arid-41914219.html ~~~Nearly One in Six Pediatric GLP-1 Users Diagnosed With a Nutritional Deficiency A study of 2,031 children and adolescents ages 10 to 17 who were prescribed GLP-1 receptor agonists found that 16.88% received a new diagnosis related to a nutritional deficiency within one year. Vitamin D deficiency was the most common, appearing in about 12.4% of the group, while smaller numbers were diagnosed with nutritional anemia or iron deficiency anemia. Host Dave Asprey explains why the study does not prove GLP-1 drugs caused these deficiencies, but highlights a bigger concern: only about 5% of the children had documented nutrition counseling within the first 30 days, even though appetite suppression during adolescence can reduce intake of protein, iron, calcium, vitamin D, B vitamins, and other nutrients needed for growth. Sources: https://doi.org/10.1177/21532176261486979 https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260923035926.htm https://pharmaceutical-journal.com/article/news/children-taking-glp-1s-can-be-at-risk-of-nutritional-deficiencies-study-finds ~~~Stronger Stomach-Brain Synchrony Associated With Poorer Mental Health Researchers studying the electrical rhythm of the stomach alongside brain activity found an unexpected relationship: stronger synchronization between gastric signals and certain brain networks was associated with worse mental health measures, including higher anxiety, depression, stress, and fatigue. The strongest associations appeared in networks involved in attention and cognitive control. Host Dave Asprey explains why the findings do not prove stomach-brain synchronization causes mental health problems, but expand the gut-brain conversation beyond the microbiome to include electrical activity, neural signaling, hormones, immune pathways, and metabolites.

A newer September 2026 analysis from the same cohort examined combinations of additives people commonly consume together and found several mixtures associated with higher rates of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, or coronary heart disease. Host Dave Asprey explains why these observational findings cannot prove that preservatives cause cardiovascular disease, but raises a larger question about whether evaluating food additives one compound at a time accurately reflects the mixtures people consume in real packaged foods. Sources: https://academic.oup.com/eurheartj/article/doi/10.1093/eurheartj/ehag308/8679203 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1186/s12916-026-05132-z https://www.escardio.org/news/press/press-releases/common-food-preservatives-linked-to-high-blood-pressure-and-heart-disease/ ~~~Taurine Pretreatment Reduces Depression-Like Changes in Chronically Stressed Rats A 2017 study in male rats found that taurine pretreatment reduced several behavioral and biochemical effects of chronic unpredictable stress. Taurine-treated animals maintained more normal reward-seeking behavior and performed better on some learning and memory measures, while researchers also observed changes in corticosterone, glutamate, serotonin, dopamine, noradrenaline, BDNF, and FGF2. Host Dave Asprey explains why this does not show that taurine treats depression in humans, especially because the taurine was injected and given before the chronic stress began, but uses the study to explore a broader principle: much of stress resilience may be built before the stress ever arrives. Sources: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-017-05051-3 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5504064/ This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity enthusiasts, parents, and high-performance listeners who want emerging health research translated into practical decisions without getting trapped by headline science. Host Dave Asprey explores what rapid weight loss can mean for hair and nutrient status, why the gut-brain axis extends far beyond the microbiome, what food-additive research can and cannot tell us about cardiovascular risk, and why stress resilience may depend as much on what you do before a challenge as what you do after it.

Sleep, Growth Hormone, and Autophagy: How Rest, Diet, and Fasting Support Metabolic Health and Longevity: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses how deep, early non-REM sleep boosts growth hormone for muscle, bone, fat burning, and metabolic health, and reviews a Cell study in which UC Berkeley researchers mapped hypothalamic circuits and feedback through the locus coeruleus showing a tight balance between sleep, growth hormone release, and wakefulness, with implications for metabolic disease and neurodegeneration. She connects poor sleep to higher blood sugar, insulin, and cortisol, which can suppress growth hormone, and advises avoiding sweet post-workout foods (e.g., smoothies, bananas, fruit yogurt) that stimulate insulin and blunt growth hormone, recommending protein and fat instead. She then explains autophagy and mitophagy as cellular cleanup processes linked to longevity, noting autophagy peaks after 12 hours of fasting, highlighting roles in mitochondrial quality control, immunity, and neurodegenerative disease, and mentions interventions such as fasting, exercise, ketogenic diets, and investigational inducers like rapamycin and urolithin A.

Back again with one of the best episodes we've done on the channel. So good that we had to play it once more for you! Today you'll meet Robert Waldinger, M.D., who leads an extraordinary scientific study on happiness that's still going strong after eight decades. The study set out to understand human health by what made people thrive.Since 1938, the Harvard Study of Adult Development has tracked two groups of men and their families with the goal of discovering what really makes for a good life. Along the way, thousands of questions were asked, and hundreds of measurements were taken—from brain scans to blood work. Three strong themes emerged from the study: Social connections are really good for you. Loneliness kills.It's the quality of your close relationships that matters.Good close relationships don't just protect your body, they protect your brain.Dr. Waldinger combined those lifelong case studies with modern psychological research in his new book, co-authored with Marc Schulz, Ph.D., “The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness." This discussion gives you real-life tools to hack your happiness. You'll learn things like:how relationships improve your physical, mental and emotional health. (More than you know!)how to evaluate the effect of your relationships on your well-being. (Don't be dragged down.)what social fitness is and how to practice it. (Yes, it's a flex.)ways to enliven and energize your relationships. (Energy totally matters.)why casual and work relationships matter more than you think. (A surprisingly big contribution.)You'll Learn:Why loneliness physically harms your body — affecting your brain, immune function, sleep, and pain sensitivityThe likely mechanism behind why relationships improve health: how a good listener helps regulate your stress responseWhat "social fitness" is and why relationships wither from neglect, even without conflictThe four attachment styles and why knowing yours matters before committing to a relationshipWhy intergenerational friendships may be one of the most underused tools for personal growth and happinessResources: • Visit https://metabolismfixbook.com/ to learn more about JJ Virgin's new book, The Metabolism Fix, and access the bonus resources she created to go with it. • Get My 2026 Clean Nicotine Roadmap | Enroll for free at https://daveasprey.com/2026-clean-nicotine-roadmap/ • Dave Asprey's Latest News | Go to https://daveasprey.com/ to join Inside Track today. • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/discount/davetube • My Daily Supplements: SuppGrade Labs (15% Off) • Favorite Blue Light Blocking Glasses: TrueDark (15% Off) Timestamps: 00:00 — Introduction & the Study04:43 — What Makes a Good Life08:47 — How Relationships Heal13:44 — Happiness: Nature vs Nurture17:59 — Measuring Happiness23:56 — Life Stages & Happiness35:34 — Social Fitness44:30 — Energizing Relationships56:14 — Attachment & Childhood1:05:04 — Casual Friends & LegacyThank you to our sponsors! - Butcher Box | Go to ButcherBox.com/HUMANUPGRADE to get $20 off your first box, plus your choice of free ground beef for life, or free chicken thigh - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.

Ron Russell shares his 50-year journey with plant-based eating, starting when there were very few plant-based restaurant options in LA County. He describes the challenges of opening a small cafe that grew into a successful170-seat restaurant focused on healthy vegan options. Running the restaurant provided firsthand experience of how plant-based eating helped his customers overcome health issues, which deepened his understanding of the health benefits. Ron also stresses the significance of gratitude and happiness in longevity, sharing personal experiences with gratitude journaling and community connections. He also notes that happiness and joy appear to be common themes among centenarians in Blue Zones. Ron shares insights from his travels, the difference in lifestyle and stress between the US and other countries, and ways to stay socially connected as one ages.Key takeaways:cooking techniques and tips, focusing on ingredient quality and flavor balance - using good ingredients leads to good resultsimportance of properly cooking greens to preserve nutrients and flavorfocus on nutrient-dense foods like lentils, beans, and greens while limiting grain consumptionfour key areas for longevity: nutrition, fasting, movement and strength, and mind-body wellnesscreate balance when pursuing longevity goals: nutrition, fasting, movement, and mental health must work togetherRon's book Longevity Visa: Steps To Live 20+ Years Longer, Feel Younger, Live Healthier, and Reverse Aging, which contains resources and recipes focused on improving health habits, is available on Amazon and through his website longevityvisa.com.

Catharine Arnston on Spirulina, Chlorella, Mitochondria, Detox, Brain Energy, and Longevity Visit https://energybits.com/ and use code HUMANUPGRADE for 20% off. Could one of the oldest foods on Earth also be one of the most overlooked tools for mitochondrial health, brain function, detoxification, and longevity? Host Dave Asprey sits down with Catharine Arnston, founder of ENERGYbits and author of Love Your Health to Bits with Algae, to explore the biology of spirulina and chlorella and why these microscopic organisms have been studied for decades as unusually nutrient-dense foods. Catharine explains the major differences between spirulina and chlorella, from how they are grown and processed to how she uses them for completely different purposes. Spirulina contains compounds including phycocyanin and superoxide dismutase that Catharine believes can support mitochondrial function, antioxidant defenses, cellular energy, and brain health, while chlorella is used primarily for binding and removing unwanted compounds such as heavy metals. They also discuss why water quality, sourcing, drying temperature, and processing can dramatically change the final product. The conversation goes deep into mitochondrial biology, including the electron transport chain, ATP production, oxidative stress, free radicals, cytochrome c, superoxide dismutase, and the blue pigment phycocyanin. Dave connects these mechanisms to his own experience rebuilding mitochondrial function and explains why increasing cellular energy without adequate antioxidant defenses may create problems, particularly for people experimenting with advanced longevity interventions such as mitochondrial peptides. Dave and Catharine also explore methylene blue, psychedelics, exercise, brain aging, environmental toxins, nutrient density, food quality, algae farming, sustainable agriculture, and why maintaining mitochondrial function may become increasingly important with age. Catharine, who turns 70 shortly after the recording, also shares the philosophy behind her first book and her belief that aging does not have to mean accepting declining energy and cognitive function. This is essential listening for anyone interested in mitochondria, spirulina, chlorella, cellular energy, brain health, detoxification, oxidative stress, longevity, biohacking, nutrient density, methylene blue, peptides, and maintaining performance as you age. You'll Learn: Why spirulina and chlorella work differently in the body How spirulina may support mitochondrial energy and antioxidant defenses Why chlorella is commonly used for heavy metal and toxin binding What phycocyanin and superoxide dismutase do inside cells How oxidative stress can disrupt mitochondrial energy production Why Dave cautions against pushing mitochondrial output without adequate cellular protection How algae may support brain health, longevity, and performance as you age Dave Asprey is 4x NY Times Bestselling Author, Longevity Expert and Creator of the Biohacking Movement.

In this episode, Dr. Scott Watier tackles the difference between outsourcing a chore and avoiding a skill, arguing that the path of least resistance isn't always the wrong move — it just depends on what you're making easier. He introduces the "habit bank" concept, where every convenience is either a deposit that protects consistency (grocery delivery, repeated meals, a fixed fasting window) or a withdrawal that derails it (impulse snacking, the "I'll start Monday" reset), and uses his own reliance on Instacart and meal-prep shortcuts to show how automating logistics frees up energy for what actually matters. He draws a clear line between the chores worth systematizing without guilt — meal planning, grocery shopping, tracking tools, workout scheduling — and the skills that require real repetition, like sitting with a craving for 10-15 minutes instead of solving it, breaking a fast on purpose instead of on impulse, feeling an emotion without eating over it, and logging an honest, unflattering result. Scott cites research showing people make roughly 214 food-related decisions a day (more for those with higher BMI), framing the fasting lifestyle as a game of "keepy uppy" where the constant question is simply: am I outsourcing a chore, or am I avoiding a skill? The episode closes with two action steps — pick one chore to eliminate this week and one specific skill-building moment to identify and sit with, rather than trying to overhaul everything at once.

As one of the world's top experts on fasting, I field a lot of questions every day on the topic of fasting.     In this video, I answer the top five most common questions when starting out, which are:   What can I consume during the fasting window?   What are the best/most popular fasting schedules for beginners? (my answer may shock you!)   Does fasting cause muscle loss?   What breaks a fast?   Why am I getting side effects such as dizziness, headaches or shakiness with fasting, and will they go away?   These are insights that you need to know if you are going to go down the fasting focused path.     Be Unconventional,   Kyle Newell aka Panda Man   P.S. - I have a FREE Masterclass coming up in early October.  If you are furious about trying everything to transform your body to no avail, then you are going to want to tune in.  I will be coverin the 5 Biggest Mistakes in Fat Loss and Fasting, so you can learn the errors of your ways and not have to continue repeating the vicious cycle of dieting, gaining weight, dieting, gaining weight and so on.  You can reserve a limited spot here: https://pandamanofficial.com/panda-challenge-registration-page

Register here.What happens when an internist teaches ketogenic nutrition to 200 students at the same time and tracks every one of their glucose and ketone readings on shared dashboards?Dr. Annette Bosworth, MD, known to her audience as Dr. Boz, is an internal medicine physician and the author of ANYWAY YOU CAN and ketoCONTINUUM. After leaving corporate medicine she rebuilt her practice around ketone metabolic therapy, first with her own patients and now through a live 21-day class where small groups of ten work with coaches who have done the diet themselves.In this episode she walks Dom D'Agostino through what that model has taught her: why every student does a 72-hour sardine fast and the changes she has observed in morning glucose and ketone readings the day after, how she started a medically supervised group already in ketosis on 0.6 mg of tirzepatide once weekly (approximately one-quarter of the labeled 2.5 mg starting dose) and her report that roughly nine in ten stayed at that dose, and why she asks every participant to keep their own physician involvedThe conversation also covers the six-week ketogenic trial she ran with her mother during a leukemia recurrence, why she treats carbohydrate cravings the way she treated addiction in her clinic, and the free weekly support groups that classes from her first cohort still attend.Questions Answered in This Episode:What has Dr. Boz observed during her 72-hour sardine challenges?What did Dr. Boz observe when using low-dose tirzepatide in patients already in ketosis?What does "relief, not joy" reveal about carbohydrate addiction?Why can blood pressure medications require reassessment when starting a ketogenic diet?Why does she emphasize physician involvement when participants take prescription medications?Why does she combine group coaching with glucose and ketone tracking?Listeners and viewers will come away with a practical picture of ketone metabolic therapy as it is actually delivered: the protocol, the monitoring, the medication monitoring and reassessment, and the community structure that keeps people in it.Special thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅ Genova Connect: Get 15% off any Genova Connect test kit with code METABOLICLINK here. ✅ Cowboy Colostrum: Get up to 25% off your entire order with code METABOLIC here. ✅ iRestore: Get the iRestore Elite helmet and Illumina face mask bundle at an exclusive discount with code LINK here.More LinksLive Q&A with Dr. Boz, October 14, 9:00 AM PT / 12:00 PM ET (free, no membership): register hereDr. Boz's website: bozmd.comDr. Boz on YouTube: @DoctorBozDr. Boz's books: ANYWAY YOU CAN and ketoCONTINUUMThe Metabolic Initiative (expert lectures, CME, ad-free episodes, live Q&As; first 7 days free): membership.metabolicinitiative.comIn every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

Are carbs actually bad for you, or have we been asking the wrong question? In this episode, I'm sitting down with metabolic scientist Dr. Ben Bikman to unpack one of the most confusing nutrition conversations happening right now.We talk about how to know how many carbs your body can handle, why your muscle mass and activity level matter, how carbohydrate quality changes your metabolic response, and why the answer may be different depending on where a woman is in her hormonal life.Ben also explains what happens to insulin sensitivity across the menstrual cycle and after menopause, why fiber matters, how he thinks about food pairing, what a CGM can tell you, and why his perspective on GLP-1 medications has evolved.In this episode:Are carbs actually bad for you?How many carbohydrates should you eat?Good carbs vs. highly refined carbsWhy fiber changes the conversationWhy muscle gives you more metabolic “wiggle room”Carbohydrates, blood sugar, stress, and sleepCan food naturally stimulate GLP-1?More on Dr. Ben BikmanDr. Ben Bikman is a metabolic scientist and professor whose research focuses on insulin resistance, metabolic health, and the ways nutrition influences human metabolism.

Episode SummaryA solo Mini-Mikkipedia. Mikki is often asked how to tell whether someone in the women's health space is worth following, and in this episode she answers it by working through two examples of what she thinks has gone wrong: practitioners who build large audiences on free information and then, in her view, monetise their followers' insecurities.The first half is physiology. Mikki takes two specific claims made about fasting — that it preserves muscle through growth hormone, and that it raises GLP-1 enough to make a medication unnecessary — and explains why she thinks both are wrong: the anabolic effect needs IGF-1, which needs protein and energy, and GLP-1 is a nutrient-sensing hormone that responds to food arriving in the gut. She is careful to separate that from where she thinks fasting genuinely earns its place, and to state the version of the GLP-1 claim that can be defended. The second half looks at a collagen supplement marketed for cellulite: what the one cellulite trial actually found, what a 2025 review found once industry-funded trials were separated out, and why she thinks cellulite is the wrong thing to be selling women anything for. She closes with the people she does think are worth following. Mikki is explicit that this is her opinion — "I'm just telling you what I think" — and equally explicit that she is not making a supplement of her own.Key TopicsHow to judge whether someone in the women's health space is worth following, and the pattern Mikki looks for: free information that turns out to be a funnelWhy Mikki fact-checked Fast Like a Girl and concluded the evidence base was mechanistic, preclinical or wrong, and what she has seen in clients who followed the protocolWhere fasting genuinely earns its place — severe insulin resistance, some gut issues, and as a researched adjunct in cancer treatment — and why 12 hours overnight is not really fastingThe growth hormone argument: why an increase in growth hormone without an increase in IGF-1 does not build or protect muscle, and why the reported percentage increases are inflated by a near-zero baselineWhy fasting cannot raise GLP-1, since GLP-1 is secreted by enteroendocrine L-cells in response to protein, fat and fermentable fibre arriving in the gut — and the one version of the claim that can be defendedThe collagen supplement marketed on the back of a story about cellulite, and Mikki's objection to the marketing rather than to collagen itselfWhat the cellulite trial actually found: 105 women, 2.5 g of collagen peptides daily for six months, a 9% reduction in cellulite score at normal BMI and 4% above BMI 25 — and nothing replicating it in the decade sinceThe 2025 review of 23 trials where collagen improved skin hydration, elasticity and wrinkles overall, but showed no effect in the trials without industry fundingWhy Mikki thinks cellulite is the wrong focus altogether, and her answer to the pushback that she talks about women's bodies herselfWho she suggests following instead, and why she has turned down several approaches to make her own supplementChapters00:00 Introduction and Fast Like a Girl03:15 Where fasting is genuinely useful05:33 Growth hormone, IGF-1 and the GLP-1 claim09:46 Mary Claire Haver's cellulite supplement13:20 Collagen, funding and the wrong focus16:55 Who to follow in women's healthGuest / ResourcesGuestNo guest — a solo Mini-Mikkipedia episode.People discussedDr Mindy Pelz — author of the Fast Like a Girl system, discussed critically throughout the first halfDr Mary Claire Haver — discussed in relation to a collagen supplement marketed for celluliteDom D'Agostino — referenced for his research on ketogenic diets and fasting, including fasting as an adjunct to cancer treatmentPeople Mikki recommends followingHailey Babcock — Hailey Happens Fitness, strength training and nutrition for women in midlifeDr Abbie Smith-Ryan — Professor of Exercise Physiology and Nutrition, University of North Carolina at Chapel HillDr Stacy Sims — exercise physiologist and nutrition scientist, known for her work on female athletesJen Kirsch and Holly Nicholson — also named by Mikki as people worth followingStudies and research discussedSchunck M, Zague V, Oesser S, Proksch E.

Back with another all-time classic. Teal's is one of those episodes I keep going back to because it was just that good. Now more than ever, we need to ask ourselves: what is the role of Ego? Do we need to worry about AI killing us? Is there hope for the future of our species?These are just a few of the big questions you'll tackle in this enlightening and esoteric episode re-run. I'm joined by Teal Swan, a thought leader, bestselling author, and international speaker who is on a mission to reduce human suffering. After a challenging upbringing, Teal emerged with a unique ability to talk about psychology, shadow work, and the nature of our world. Teal shares the unusual and special way she sees the world. We talk about her ESP powers, how to identify a narcissist, and her favorite dimensions. We also get into the divine masculine vs. the divine feminine, the nature of ego, and how to build trust in the world and others. 00:00 — Trailer00:18 — Intro6:12 — Understanding Narcissism13:20 — AI and Spiritual Perception19:30 — Birth Trauma and Memory28:00 — Art and Different Realities35:22 — The Nature of Ego42:50 — Divine Masculine and Feminine50:00 — Hormones and Hope54:05 — Synchronization Workshops1:00:29 — OutroSponsorsButcher Box | Go to ButcherBox.com/HUMANUPGRADE to get $20 off your first box, plus your choice of free ground beef for life, or free chicken thighEMR-Tek | https://www.emr-tek.com/DAVE and use code DAVE for 40% off.iRestore | Unlock your best hair & skin with @iRestorelaser and HUGE savings on iRESTORE with code DAVE at irestore.com/DAVEResources: • Learn More About Teal's Work At: https://tealswan.com/about-teal/ • Get My 2026 Clean Nicotine Roadmap | Enroll for free at https://daveasprey.com/2026-clean-nicotine-roadmap/ • Dave Asprey's Latest News | Go to https://daveasprey.com/ to join Inside Track today. • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/discount/davetube • My Daily Supplements: SuppGrade Labs (15% Off) • Favorite Blue Light Blocking Glasses: TrueDark (15% Off) Connect with Dave Asprey!Website: https://daveasprey.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daveaspreyofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.asprey/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Daveaspreyofficial/X: https://x.com/daveaspreyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/daveaspreybprThe Human Upgrade Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/TheHumanUpgradePodcast/ https://m.facebook.com/Thehumanupgrade/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Dr. Michael Leon on Smell Training, Memory, Sleep, Alzheimer's Risk, and Brain Longevity Your sense of smell may reveal more about your brain health than you realize, and stimulating it while you sleep may improve memory, sleep quality, and cognitive function. **Visit https://memoryair.com/ and use code DAVE15 for 15% off. **Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Michael Leon, Professor Emeritus of Neurobiology and Behavior at UC Irvine and one of the world's most cited scientists, to explore why smell may be one of the most overlooked tools for brain health and longevity. Dr. Leon explains why the olfactory system has unusually direct access to the brain's memory and emotional centers, why smell often declines alongside memory after age 60, and why reduced olfactory function has been associated with Alzheimer's disease, cognitive decline, depression, and increased all-cause mortality. They also discuss how COVID, chronic congestion, pollution, stress, and aging can impair smell without people realizing it. The conversation dives into olfactory enrichment, including research showing major improvements in memory when older adults were exposed to multiple scents during sleep. Dr. Leon explains why novelty matters, how nighttime scent exposure may increase deep sleep and reduce nightmares, and why olfactory stimulation is being studied in dementia, PTSD, depression, and autism. Dave also explores connections between smell, GLP-1 drugs, exercise, rapamycin, spermidine, oxytocin, hormones, mitochondrial function, and other longevity interventions. This is essential listening for anyone interested in memory, sleep, Alzheimer's prevention, brain aging, smell training, dementia, PTSD, autism, longevity, neuroplasticity, biohacking, and protecting cognitive function as you age. You'll Learn: -Why your sense of smell often declines alongside memory -How smell connects directly to the brain's memory and emotional centers -Why poor olfactory function is associated with Alzheimer's risk and mortality -How chronic congestion may affect memory and brain health -What COVID-related smell loss may mean for long-term cognitive health -How olfactory enrichment can stimulate memory centers while you sleep -Why one study reported a 226% improvement in memory in healthy older adults -How scent exposure may increase deep sleep and reduce nightmares -Why novelty and rotating scents appear to matter for neuroplasticity -How smell training is being studied in dementia, depression, PTSD, and autism -Why several longevity interventions are also associated with improved olfaction -How GLP-1 drugs may affect smell, food enjoyment, memory, and emotion -Why professional wine tasters may offer clues about protecting the aging brain Thank you to our sponsors! - KILLSwitch | If you're ready for the best sleep of your life, order now at https://www.switchsupplements.com/ and use code DAVE for 20% off - PredictiveMind™ | Get your Brain Pattern Mapping report at predictivemind.io/dave and use code DAVE for 10% off. - Fatty15 is on a mission to support Healthy Aging for All, including all ages and stages of life.

It's Thursday, September 17th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Russia fining Christians who help with Bible distribution Russia is cracking down on foreign religious organizations.  One of the groups is Mission Eurasia. The U.S.-based ministry works across post-Soviet Eurasia, equipping Christian leaders, distributing Bibles, and planting churches. Those who cooperate with the group in Russia have been convicted and fined.  Sergey Rakhuba, the president of Mission Eurasia, told Christianity Daily, “Governments can close an organization's office. They can prohibit a foreign organization. They can confiscate books. … But it is much harder to stop the Gospel when it is already in the hearts and hands of thousands of local believers.” In Isaiah 55:11, God said, “So My word that goes forth from My mouth … shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Send a polite, 4-sentence note to the Russian Ambassador to America, Alexander Darchiev, and urge him to tell President Vladimir Putin to stop fining Christians who help distribute Bibles. Send it to the Russian Embassy, 2650 Wisconsin Ave., N.W., Washington, DC 20007. To get the correct spelling of his name and the address, look at our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com. 2,634 Germans baptized in last 4 years Evangelical churches are experiencing growth in Germany. The Federation of Free Evangelical Churches in Germany reported 2,634 baptisms over the last four years. That's up 76 percent from the previous four years.  Meanwhile, mainline Protestants and Roman Catholics continue to decline in Germany.   Christian mother allowed to adopt despite believing only 2 genders Here in the United States, a Christian mother in Oregon is free to adopt in accordance with her beliefs. Jessica Bates described her case. She said, “As a widowed mom of five, I was surprised to feel God nudging me to adopt. I never dreamt it would lead to a years-long lawsuit when Oregon excluded me just because of my religious convictions about gender.”  Alliance Defending Freedom announced she finally won the legal battle on Monday. She is now free to adopt without violating her Christian beliefs that God created only two genders – male and female. (Genesis 1:27) More American mothers killing their unborn babies Abortions continue to increase in the United States. Analysis by the Charlotte Lozier Institute found there were 1,129,020 reported abortions in America last year. That's up 1.8 percent from 2024.  Plus, an estimated 393,700 babies were murdered in the womb during the first four months of this year. At that rate, abortions are set to keep rising in 2026.   Trump champions deregulation of fossil fuel power plants The Trump administration repealed most greenhouse gas requirements on U.S. power plants on Monday. The regulations from the Obama and Biden administrations limited carbon emissions from fossil fuel power plants.  Listen to comments from Lee Zeldin, the administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.  ZELDIN: “Under the Obama and Biden administrations, the EPA went to war, targeting coal and natural gas. Many Americans remember the message being sent that our coal workers should just learn to code. “It's a different day under President Trump. Today, we are cutting the red tape to deliver the largest power sector deregulatory action ever saving 310 billion dollars for American families. We are also proposing to rescind all remaining greenhouse gas emission standards for power plants, all of them. “If finalized as proposed, energy producers will be given certainty for the future, empowering them to unleash the full potential of American energy and provide it at an affordable price for American families.” Average American spent $800 more on gas Americans have spent an extra $100 billion on fuel this year. Brown University estimated how much more gasoline and diesel has cost due to the Iran war. The figure comes out to over $800 per U.S. household in higher fuel costs.  Barna: 85% of voters likely to vote on November 3rd Arizona Christian University released a new study from Dr. George Barna ahead of the midterm elections in November.  The study found that 85 percent of voters will likely vote in primary and general elections. These are often high-profile state and federal elections. However, only 55 percent will likely vote in down-ballot races. These are more local elections. Dr. Barna noted, “School board, city council, judgeships, city and county executives -- these are common examples of the thousands of seats across the country that often directly affect the lives of citizens more than the high-profile, big-money, high visibility seats.” Tennessee Governor proclaims day of prayer, humility, & fasting And finally, Tennessee Republican Governor Bill Lee proclaimed September 18 as a day of prayer, humility, and fasting.  The proclamation stated, “We acknowledge God's sovereignty and the need for God's grace over our state and our nation . . . We seek forgiveness for our many transgressions so that our hearts and our minds may be renewed . . . Scripture tells us that the beginning of wisdom is the fear of the Lord, [Proverbs 9:10] and the Lord gives wisdom freely to those who ask for it.” Indeed, James 1:5 says, “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, September 17th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Carolina Reis de Oliveira on Reversing Skin Age, Menopause, GLP-1 Skin, and the Science of Senescent Cells Your skin is likely biologically older than you are, but new research suggests some of that aging may be reversible. **For Dave's listeners only, visit oneskin.co/Dave for exclusive early access to the OS-01 Face Rich Cream!**Host Dave Asprey sits down with Carolina Reis de Oliveira, PhD, CEO and co-founder of OneSkin. Carolina holds a PhD in stem cell biology and tissue engineering, is a co-inventor of five patents, and has co-authored numerous scientific publications. She and her team are studying skin longevity by targeting one of the central drivers of aging: the accumulation of senescent cells. They break down why skin loses its ability to hold water as you age, and why that process can accelerate dramatically during perimenopause and menopause. Carolina explains the skin's "brick and mortar" barrier system, how declining estrogen affects collagen, ceramides, cholesterol, hyaluronic acid, and elastin, and why simply sealing moisture into your skin with occlusive products does not solve the underlying biology. They also explore why GLP-1 users can experience loose or sagging skin after rapid weight loss and what may help preserve skin structure over time. Carolina reveals how her team screened hundreds of peptides to develop OS-01, a senomorphic peptide designed to reduce the damaging signals produced by senescent "zombie" cells while supporting healthier skin function. In their research, OS-01 reduced markers of cellular senescence and inflammation, increased collagen production, and was associated with a 2.5-year reduction in measured biological skin age. She also explains why more peptides are not necessarily better, why some GHK-Cu formulations may fail to perform, and why peptide stability, concentration, delivery, and formulation matter. The conversation also covers why the skin around your eyes may biologically age decades faster than your cheeks, whether topical collagen really works, why cholesterol is essential for a healthy skin barrier, how over-moisturizing and "slugging" can backfire, and how damaged skin may contribute to systemic inflammation. Carolina also shares clinical data on OneSkin's new OS-01 Rich moisturizer, including improvements in hydration, firmness, fine lines, wrinkles, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and elastin. This is essential listening for anyone serious about skin longevity, anti-aging, menopause, GLP-1 weight loss, collagen, senescent cells, peptides, biological age testing, inflammation, hydration, hair and skin health, and maintaining younger-looking skin as you age. You'll Learn: -Why menopause can rapidly accelerate dry, thin, and crepey skin -How your skin's natural barrier holds water and why it breaks down with age -Why GLP-1 weight loss can make loose and sagging skin more noticeable -How senescent "zombie" cells accelerate inflammation and collagen loss -How OS-01 was associated with a 2.5-year reduction in biological skin age -Why skin around your eyes may be biologically much older than skin on your cheeks -Why topical collagen is different from collagen amino acids and collagen-producing signals -How cholesterol, ceramides, fatty acids, and hyaluronic acid support skin hydration -Why some GHK-Cu peptide products may not perform as expected -How over-moisturizing, face masks, Vaseline, and "slugging" can disrupt the skin barrier -How scientists measure the biological age of skin with epigenetic clocks -Why healthier skin may help lower inflammation throughout the body Thank you to our sponsors! - ZenBud | Dave's Nervous System Biohack.

Why can changing the way you eat feel so emotional, even when you know exactly what you want to change?In this conversation, I sit down with therapist and Mother Hunger author Kelly McDaniel to explore the deeper emotional and relational layers that can become intertwined with food.Through Kelly's Mother Hunger framework, we look at how early experiences with nurturing, safety, attachment, and caregiving may influence the way some of us relate to food later in life—and why food can sometimes become connected with comfort, connection, routine, and relief.We also talk about emotional eating, body image, nervous system regulation, fasting, food noise, GLP-1 medications, and the messages about our bodies that can be passed from one generation to the next.This conversation gave me an entirely new way to think about some of the struggles I've seen women experience when changing how they eat, because sometimes there may be more happening beneath the surface than what's on the plate.In this episode:Kelly's Mother Hunger frameworkWhy food can become emotionally significantWhat Kelly means by “surrogate comfort”Why changing eating patterns can bring up difficult emotionsFood and nervous system regulationWhat mothers can unintentionally teach daughters about their bodiesKelly's perspective on food noise and GLP-1 medicationsHow support and connection can help us create new patternsMORE ON KELLY MCDANIELInstagram: @kellymcdanieltherapyMother Hunger, Revised EditionFor more resources related to today's episode, visit the podcast episode page: drmindypelz.com/ep369Connect with Dr. Mindy:Join Reset AcademyWatch the episodes on YouTubeFollow Dr. Mindy on InstagramSubscribe to Dr. Mindy's newsletterDisclaimer: This podcast is intended for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical advice.

My certified health practitioner from Portugal, Christian Yordanov, is taking on the entire health community with his controversial new book, The Fasting Delusion. A counterintuitive approach at first glance, but advocating for starvation for health is actually way more radical an idea than Yordanov's position that eating nutritious food is more effective.The starvation community is not happy about this book, but they won't last very long in a standoff. Christian brings health science into the conversation, as well as logic and common sense, to debunk the fasting craze and explain to people that you can heal yourself with food, not by avoiding it.---Christian YordanovHealth Program: www.LiveLongerFormula.com/macroNew book: https://amzn.to/4cMceYg---Charlie's New Book: The Octopus Of Population ControlPaperback, Kindle, & Audiobook: https://amzn.to/4yngMg0Macroaggressionswww.Macroaggressions.ioMerch StoreLink TreeVideo Channels: Rumble | YouTube | BrighteonActivist Post: Newsletter Sign UpAudiobooks: Hypocrazy | The Octopus of Global ControlSupport Our SponsorsReplace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.comGround Luxe Grounding MatsC60 Power | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & SilverLegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comThe Dollar Vigilante

Sea Squirt Plasmalogens Show Brain And Aging Benefits In Old Mice Aged mice given purified plasmalogen supplements showed better memory performance, healthier synaptic structure, lower neuroinflammation, and increased signaling tied to neurite growth and synapse development, with treated mice even growing thicker, darker, glossier hair. Plasmalogens are specialized lipids concentrated in cell membranes and the brain that tend to decline with age and neurodegenerative disease, making them an intriguing target for cognitive longevity. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why membrane composition matters for brain signaling, mitochondrial function, and inflammation, while stressing that this remains mouse research from 2022 and does not mean eating sea squirts or taking an unproven plasmalogen supplement will reproduce the same effects in humans. Sources: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260902234518.htm https://doi.org/10.3389/fmolb.2022.815320 ~~ Apple Watch Series 12 Adds More HRV Data, Readiness Scoring, And Health Age Apple Watch Series 12 pushes deeper into health tracking with heart rate measurements every five seconds, substantially more frequent HRV sampling, a new daily Readiness score, and a Longevity section in the Health app featuring Health Age. Apple is also expanding its health ecosystem with daytime vitals, movement assessments, menopause tracking, and Quest Diagnostics lab ordering for more than fifty biomarkers. Host Dave Asprey explains why higher-frequency wearable data can become useful for spotting changes in stress, recovery, sleep, and illness, but warns against letting algorithmic scores override your own baseline, symptoms, and real-world performance. Source: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/09/introducing-apple-watch-series-12-with-the-all-new-health-sensing-system/ ~~ FDA Moves To Accelerate Botanical Drug Development The FDA has opened a formal request for input on how to accelerate botanical drug development, including better clinical trial designs, stronger quality standards, improved standardization of complex plant mixtures, and expanded use of real-world evidence. The agency is also working with the European Medicines Agency on regulatory considerations for herbal and botanical medicines, potentially creating a clearer path for standardized plant-derived therapies to move beyond vague supplement claims and into more rigorous clinical testing. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why this could strengthen the evidence behind compounds like berberine, saffron, medicinal mushrooms, and flavanols, while also warning that more pharmaceutical-style regulation could increase costs and reduce access. Source: https://www.healthmanagement.com/insights/weekly-roundup-v2/september-9-2026/ ~~ Persistent Adolescent Cannabis Use Linked To Long-Term IQ And Cognitive Decline A long-running New Zealand birth cohort found that people with persistent cannabis dependence beginning in adolescence showed significant cognitive decline by age thirty-eight, including losses in IQ, memory, processing speed, attention, and executive function. The most persistent users showed an average decline of roughly eight IQ points, while adult-onset users did not show the same pattern, pointing toward adolescence as a potentially important developmental vulnerability window. Host Dave Asprey explains why this 2012 observational study cannot prove cannabis caused every cognitive change, but argues that dose, frequency, age of exposure, and brain development all matter when evaluating cannabis for performance, health, or therapeutic use.

Rather than directly activating PPAR-delta, pterostilbene appeared to slow its breakdown, leaving more of the protein available to regulate genes involved in fat metabolism and potentially offering a new mechanistic target for myosteatosis and metabolic dysfunction. Host Dave Asprey explains why the PPAR-delta mechanism is interesting for metabolic health, but draws a clear line between promising cell research and human outcomes, emphasizing that resistance training, walking, muscle mass, and mitochondrial health still have far stronger evidence than taking blueberry extracts to reduce muscle fat.

Dr. Jared Rutter, PhD, Professor of Biochemistry at the University of Utah and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, is a leading expert on mitochondria and metabolism. He explains how mitochondria produce the energy for your cells to work but also how they regulate cell growth and replication and thereby contribute to health and disease. We also discuss how mitochondria are linked to aging, cancer, and other diseases. Our conversation explores your metabolism as the composite of trillions of individual cells and points to new ways to improve health, avoid, and treat diseases.
