Sulforaphane, Detox Pathways, and the Science of Microplastic Removal Microplastics are building up inside your brain, blood, and reproductive tissue, and most detox protocols do nothing to remove them. This episode gives you the cellular science behind why toxins accumulate, which three detox pathways control your ability to excrete them, and what the latest research shows actually moves microplastics, heavy metals, BPA, and benzene out of your body.. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -For next week, 25% off all Mara Labs products when you go to www.mara-labs.com/DAVE and use code DAVE at checkout. After June 11th, the code will return to the standard 15% off. 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.

Matthew 6:16-18 - Jesus concludes the middle section of the sermon with a discussion of the last of 3 spiritual practices: fasting. Again, Jesus emphasizes the heart posture of the one who fasts, reminding us that the true purpose is to commune with God. Fasting—"a Christian's voluntary abstinence from food for spiritual purposes"—engages the whole person (body, spirit, desires and on and on) in a way that few other disciplines do. In this teaching we receive an invitation to fast as Jesus envisions, not to earn our favor with God, but to respond to His grace with our whole selves. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 16 of our series “Jesus's Sermon on the Mount: The Good Life in the Kingdom of Grace”]
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.
Long before church history became filled with councils, creeds, and formal traditions, early Christians were already learning how to live as faithful followers of Jesus.In this episode of Kitchen Table Theology, Pastor Jeff Cranston and Tiffany introduce the Didache, one of the most important early Christian writings outside the New Testament. They explain how this ancient document helps us understand the worship, discipleship, church practices, and spiritual priorities of believers in the first generations of the church.Chapters:01:20 What Is the Didache?The Didache is one of the most important early Christian writings outside the New Testament. Its name means “teaching,” and its full title presents it as instruction passed from the Lord through the apostles to the Gentile church.03:00 Was the Didache Written by the Apostles?The Didache was likely not written directly by the apostles, but it was compiled very early in church history. It functions like an early church handbook for Christian living, worship, and church practice.05:30 How the Didache Was Lost and RediscoveredThe Didache was highly valued by early Christians, but it was not included in the New Testament canon because it was not apostolic Scripture. After disappearing for centuries, it was rediscovered in 1873.07:30 The Four Main Sections of the DidacheThe Didache is organized around four major themes: the way of life and the way of death, instructions for baptism, fasting, and communion, guidance for handling traveling teachers, and a final call to live ready for Christ's return.08:30 The Two Ways: Life and Death The Didache begins by presenting two paths, the way of life and the way of death. This theme echoes Scripture's call to choose the narrow way that leads to life, reminding believers that discipleship includes both right belief and faithful obedience.11:15 Baptism, Fasting, and Holy Preparation The Didache gives practical instructions for baptism in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit while allowing flexibility in how it is practiced. It also connects baptism with fasting, showing that the early church treated baptism with seriousness, reverence, and spiritual preparation.14:15 Communion, Worship, and Reconciliation The Didache presents simple instructions for communion and Sunday worship, including thanksgiving, confession of sin, and gathering together as the church. It also emphasizes reconciliation before worship, reminding believers that repentance and worship belong together.19:15 Living Ready for Christ's Return The Didache ends with a call to watchfulness and faithfulness in light of Christ's return. Though it is not Scripture, it remains a valuable witness to how early Christians practiced apostolic teaching through worship, holiness, repentance, hope, and faithful obedience.“It might be an ancient document, but its call to us is fresh. Follow Christ seriously, joyfully, and together.” - Pastor Jeff Cranston

What is the purpose of fasting, and why did Jesus expect His followers to practice it? In this message, Pastor Korey explores Matthew 6:16–18 and shows that fasting is far more than going without food—it is a physical expression of spiritual dependence. Looking at examples throughout Scripture, we see God's people fasting to seek wisdom, guidance, mercy, protection, and a deeper relationship with Him. Fasting reminds us that our greatest need is not what sustains our bodies, but the God who sustains our lives.

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.

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?
Dr. Jason Fung is a Canadian nephrologist, New York Times bestselling author, and leading voice in the fields of intermittent fasting, insulin resistance, weight loss, and type 2 diabetes. He is best known for his books The Obesity Code, The Diabetes Code, The Complete Guide to Fasting, and The Hunger Code, where he challenges the traditional “calories in, calories out” model and argues that hormones, especially insulin, play a major role in fat storage, hunger, and metabolic health. Dr. Fung co-founded The Fasting Method and has helped popularize fasting as a practical tool for improving metabolic health and supporting sustainable weight loss. Today on the show we discuss: why losing body fat is more complicated than calories in versus calories out, how hormones like insulin and cortisol affect fat storage, why ultra-processed foods can drive hunger and cravings, how emotional eating and habit-based eating keep people stuck, why fasting works best when paired with better food choices, and the simple daily habits that can improve insulin control, including whole foods, fewer refined carbs, walking after meals, better sleep, and stress management and much more.

GLP-1 medications are changing the conversation around weight loss, metabolism, and women's health. But are we asking the right questions about long-term health?In this solo episode, Dr. Mindy Pelz breaks down the science behind GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro, including what they do well, where concerns are emerging, and how fasting mimics many of the same metabolic benefits naturally.Dr. Mindy explores: • The connection between GLP-1 drugs and muscle loss • Why women over 40 need to think differently about metabolism • New research linking GLP-1s to declining bone density • How fasting impacts glucagon, ketones, and fat burning • The importance of protein, refeeding, and resistance training • Why metabolic flexibility matters more than rapid weight loss • Natural ways to stimulate your body's own GLP-1 productionThis episode is not about fear or shame. It's about helping you understand your options so you can make informed decisions for your body, your hormones, and your long-term health.For more resources related to today's episode, visit the podcast episode page: https://www.drmindypelz.com/ep341Connect 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.

Some Christian authors describe fasting as the most feared and misunderstood discipline, and perhaps the least practiced in the Christian church. Why? What stops Christians from fasting?Listen in as James walks us through a definition of Christian fasting as well as why and how to engage in fasting as parents. Like all spiritual disciplines or ordinary means of God's grace, through fasting, Christians engage Scriptural patterns with the aim to become more like Jesus.1 Tim. 4:7-10. “[Discipline] yourself for godliness; for while bodily training is of some value, godliness is of value in every way, as it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come . . . because we have our hope set on the living God, who is the Savior of all people, especially of those who believe.”“There is no virtue in fallen man by which he can make himself more godly; thereis, however, virtue in the divinely appointed means of grace. If we, by the powerof the Holy Spirit, mortify the deeds of the body (through fasting), we shall growin grace, but the glory of such change will be God's alone.” David Smith.John Calvin: “since fasting is a holy exercise both for the humbling ofmen and for their confession of humility why should we use it less thanthe ancients did in similar need?”
Most people pair apostles with prophets, pastors with teachers. Acts 13 verse 1 puts prophets and teachers in the same room — and uses them together to change the history of the church. Pastor Scott Ethridge and Carlos Renfroe dig into why that combination matters more than we've been taught. --- Connect With The Healing Place Website: www.thpshreveport.com Questions or prayer requests: mediahub@thpshreveport.com Midweek Move is the podcast extension of The Healing Place, Shreveport, LA — where we examine the scriptures in context and ask: "What is happening here?" ___ 0:00 — Cold open: "Prophets and teachers together.

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.

Cancer care is evolving, and today's conversation with Martha Tettenborn dives into one of the most overlooked aspects of healing and prevention: metabolic health. Martha is a cancer survivor, author of Hacking Chemo, and currently works with Dietary Therapies, where she helps support patients using evidence-based nutritional and metabolic approaches alongside conventional cancer care. In this follow-up conversation, we move beyond Martha's personal story and explore what she's seeing firsthand in patients today. We discuss the growing connection between insulin resistance, blood sugar dysregulation, inflammation, and cancer progression — and why metabolic health deserves a much bigger place in the cancer conversation. Martha also shares practical insights into keto therapies, fasting during treatment, common mistakes patients make when trying these approaches on their own, and the importance of individualized care and professional guidance. This episode is not only valuable for those navigating cancer, but also for anyone struggling with fatigue, inflammation, insulin resistance, stubborn weight gain, or chronic metabolic dysfunction. So many of the foundational principles that support metabolic healing apply broadly to overall health and disease prevention. ✨ How Martha's perspective has evolved from cancer survivor to working directly with patients at Dietary Therapies ✨ Common metabolic patterns she is seeing in cancer patients today ✨ The connection between insulin resistance, blood sugar dysregulation, and cancer progression ✨ What people are misunderstanding about keto and fasting for cancer care ✨ Who may not be a good candidate for fasting during treatment ✨ The biggest mistakes people make when trying dietary therapies on their own ✨ How metabolic therapies can work alongside conventional oncology care ✨ Why nutrition and metabolic health are still often overlooked in cancer treatment ✨ Lifestyle habits and strategies that may support long-term healing and recurrence prevention ✨ Why metabolic health matters even for those who have never faced a cancer diagnosis LINKS & RESOURCES: Learn more about Martha's work through Dietary Therapies Get Martha's book Hacking Chemo READY TO IMPROVE YOUR METABOLIC HEALTH? ✨ My 90-Day COMPASS Reset begins Monday, June 1st!

Ever look up and realise a whole month has vanished? This episode is about why that happens — and how to get more life out of the same amount of time. Most people think time speeds up because they're busy. Not quite. Time speeds up when your brain stops noticing. When your days are repetitive, distracted, and half-lived, your memory writes almost nothing down. That's why a week of scrolling disappears, while one difficult, vivid, meaningful afternoon can feel strangely rich. In this episode, I break down the psychology of time perception using examples from TikTok, procrastination, ADHD, novelty, and emotional reframing. The big idea: a full life isn't made from more hours. It's made from more moments that feel real. We talk about why discomfort often stretches time, why autopilot erases it, and how learning to stay with tension can make you calmer, sharper, and more alive. Add novelty on purpose: new places, new conversations, new experiences. Notice when you're escaping discomfort instead of living through it. Use memory as a metric: if nothing stands out, something needs to change. If time keeps slipping through your hands, this episode will help you hold it differently. UPGRADE to Premium:
Life moves faster than we realize. One day you blink, and years have passed. So what are we doing with the time God has given us?In this message, Pastor Brandon continues our Chasing Purpose series by looking at Solomon's final reflections in Ecclesiastes.

In this month's spiritual formation conversation, we continue our series by reflecting on the practice of fasting and why it matters for our walk with Christ. Spiritual formation helps re-center our lives on Jesus when everything else competes for our attention. Fasting is more than just abstaining from food; it's intentionally setting something aside to create space to seek God. Looking at Jesus in the wilderness, we see how fasting prepares us to depend on God rather than comfort, control, or distraction. Alesia shares her experience fasting from social media and how it reduced anxiety, comparison, and noise while increasing presence and attentiveness to God. Brian shares his experience of fasting during a season of medical testing, and how it became a reminder of God's goodness and steadiness in uncertainty. Ultimately, fasting reveals what we rely on and invites us to re-center our lives on God. We encourage listeners to consider practicing fasting in some form this month as a way to step away from distractions and lean more fully into God's presence.

In this video, I break down the exact biological mechanisms keeping men in Okinawa, Japan, physically dominant and mentally sharp past 100. You don't need million-dollar lab work or intense weight training to reverse your biological age. Instead, these centenarians leverage five specific lifestyle protocols to naturally upgrade their biology. I explain the hard science behind how eating to 80% full shuts down the constant growth signaling that accelerates cellular aging. We'll also cover why the modern concept of retirement physically destroys your brain function within 2-3 years, and how specific social structures actually drop inflammatory chemicals in your body by up to 30%.Thank you to our sponsors!TRU KAVA | Head to trukava.com and use code DAVE10 for 10% off.Essentia | Go to https://myessentia.com/dave and 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 – Intro00:47 – Okinawa's Origins01:28 – Hara Hachibu (80% Full)02:36 – Ikigai (Purpose)03:57 – Never Retire05:19 – Social Bonds (Moai)07:13 – Stress Resilience08:54 – The 5 HabitsConnect 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.
EVEN MORE about this episode!What if the beauty industry has been teaching women to ignore the very signals their bodies are trying to send?In this episode, Julie Ryan and former international model Eva Hooft reveal the hidden links between trauma, chronic illness, gut health, and true healing.Eva shares the shocking reality behind the modeling industry—where perfection was demanded while her health quietly deteriorated. After years of severe gut issues, exhaustion, eating disorders, and feeling disconnected from herself, she realized her body wasn't failing her—it was desperately trying to communicate. What followed was a complete transformation that led her from the fashion world into holistic healing and somatic work.Together, Julie and Eva dive into the fascinating connections between trauma, parasites, inflammation, ancestral patterns, and the nervous system. They explore why many detox protocols can backfire, how emotional wounds may manifest physically, and why being told to “just live with it” can deeply impact healing. Packed with powerful insights, practical wellness tools, and inspiring stories of transformation, this episode offers hope for anyone who feels unheard, stuck, or exhausted from searching for answers.Guest Biography:Eva Hooft is a somatic & Detox Practitioner and works as a medical intuitive. Through her integrative approach—combining energetics, detoxification, mineral balancing, emotional release, somatics, astrology, energy healing, and more—Eva supports clients in addressing the root causes of physical and emotional imbalances.Episode Chapters:(0:00:00) - Introduction and Eva's Modeling Career(0:17:00) - Dark Reality of the Fashion Industry(0:24:00) - Discovering Root Causes of Illness(0:35:00) - Fasting, Detoxification, and Spiritual Connection(0:43:00) - Understanding Parasites and Heavy Metals(0:55:00) - Somatic Healing and Ancestral Trauma(1:06:00) - The Power of Words in Healing(1:15:00) - Practical Steps for Gentle Healing➡️ Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan YouTube➡️ Julie's Intuitive Trainings✏️ Ask Julie a Question!
Prayer is essential for spiritual strength, yet many struggle with consistency. Through the examples of Paul and Silas praying with joy in prison, Anna's sacrificial devotion to prayer and fasting, and Epaphras wrestling in prayer for others, we learn three powerful approaches to prayer. Paul shows us how to maintain hope through prayer even in impossible circumstances. Anna demonstrates the discipline of consistent prayer and fasting over decades. Epaphras teaches us to intercede with strength for others, making common people uncommonly powerful through prayer.

The ancient fruit sitting in your grocery store right now outperforms rapamycin, rivals caloric restriction, and triggers a cellular cleanup process that most longevity scientists did not even know existed until a lab changed everything 18 years ago. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Go to timeline.com/Dave or just use code ‘Dave' to get 20% off your next order. Host Dave Asprey sits down with Chris Rinsch, co-founder and President of Timeline Longevity and a PhD cell biologist who has spent nearly two decades doing pharmaceutical quality clinical research on one of the most underrated longevity molecules on earth. Before founding Timeline in 2007, Rinsch worked in venture capital investing in pioneering life sciences companies and in biotechnology developing cell-based therapies at Swiss biotech company ISOTIS SA. He has authored original publications in Nature Medicine, Nature Metabolism, JAMA Open, and Cell Reports Medicine, and holds internationally filed and granted patents on urolithin A. This is the first time a Timeline co-founder has appeared on the show. Together, Dave and Chris break down the full science of urolithin A, the postbiotic compound unlocked from pomegranate by gut bacteria, and why it triggers mitophagy to clear out damaged mitochondria and replace them with high-functioning ones. They cover why only 30 to 40 percent of people can produce urolithin A from food alone, how one month of supplementation measurably improved immune cell populations in people aged 50 to 70, and why Dave has stacked this into his daily longevity protocol alongside NAD precursors and nootropics for years. If you are serious about biohacking your mitochondria, extending healthspan, and doing smarter not harder longevity work, this episode delivers the deep science to back it up. You'll Learn: Why urolithin A outperforms rapamycin in worm lifespan studies and rivals caloric restriction at 45 percent life extension How mitophagy works, why it declines with age, and why it is one of the most important anti-aging mechanisms in the body Why eating pomegranates or taking cheap pomegranate extract does not work for most people and what to take instead How one month of MitoPure improved natural killer cells, CD8 T naive cells, and reduced inflammation in adults aged 50 to 70 Why mitochondria are central to metabolism, brain optimization, immune function, cardiovascular health, and skin aging How Timeline's topical urolithin A produced statistically significant reductions in fine lines and wrinkles after eight weeks Why Dave considers this one of the most clinically validated supplements in his longevity stack alongside NAD and fasting protocols How L'Oreal became a Timeline investor after confirming the mitochondrial science was unlike anything in their existing ingredient library What the XPRIZE Healthspan competition is targeting and why Timeline is competing to reverse biological aging by 10 to 20 years Why the future of functional medicine will require a mitochondrial blood test and how close we are to having one Thank you to our sponsors! - EMR-Tek | https://www.emr-tek.com/DAVE and use code DAVE - Calroy | Go to Calroy.com/DAVE for exclusive discounts on Arterosil HP, Vascanox HP and all Calroy products. - Neuronic | Go to www.neuronic.online Code DAVE for $100 off - ENERGYbits | If you want a simpler, smarter way to support your body… this is it.

Your relationships are reshaping your biology in ways that diet and exercise alone cannot fix, and the science behind it will change how you think about longevity, metabolism, and what it actually means to be healthy. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Molly Maloof, a physician and one of the most innovative voices in personalized medicine, functional medicine, and human performance. Since 2012, she has advised or consulted for over 50 companies across digital health, consumer health, and biotechnology. She pioneered a course on healthspan at Stanford University and founded Adamo Bioscience, a company dedicated to unlocking the science of love as a pathway to healing and human connection. Dr. Maloof brings a rare combination of clinical depth, biohacking credibility, and entrepreneurial range to one of the most overlooked conversations in longevity. Together, Dave and Dr. Maloof dig into the neurobiology of love and attachment, the hormonal drivers of the sex drive and pair bonding, and how chronic isolation wrecks your metabolism at the cellular level. They explore the cell danger response and how toxic relationships, mold exposure, and trauma can lock your cells into a self-protection mode that blocks healing. They also cover psychedelics as hormetic tools, oxytocin as nature's medicine, the placebo response, peptide therapy for mitochondrial repair and anti-aging, and why regenerative medicine is about to rewrite the rules of human lifespan. If you are serious about biohacking your body from the inside out, this episode is essential. You'll Learn: Why human connection is a biological necessity, not a lifestyle preference, and what isolation does to your mitochondria and metabolism How the three neurobiological drives of sex, romantic love, and attachment are wired into your hormones and what happens when they go wrong What the cell danger response is, why it gets stuck, and which peptides, supplements, and therapies help break the cycle How oxytocin drives wound healing, immune function, and the placebo response Why psychedelics work as hormetic love drugs and how they reproduce the neurobiology of romantic love The top peptides for mitochondrial repair, brain optimization, and telomere biology Why Dave and Dr. Maloof believe we have already reached longevity escape velocity How AI is accelerating precision medicine, protein folding breakthroughs, and the future of anti-aging therapeutics Why fasting, breathwork, neurofeedback, and somatic therapies all converge on the same biological reset mechanism How to build the adaptive capacity and bioenergetic reserves to bounce back from anything Thank you to our sponsors! - Danger Coffee | Grab yours at DangerCoffee.com and use code DAVEPOD at checkout for 15% off. - Amp | If you're ready to make fitness fit into your life, go to amp.ai to check it out - Puori | Go to Puori.com/DAVE or use code DAVE at checkout to get 32% off your Puori Fish Oil subscription.

Fasting is not a switch — it's a sequence. Episode #258
Why Isn't Everyone Talking About Mitochondria? with Jennifer Scheinman Most people learned the word in 10th-grade biology and never thought about it again. That, argues registered dietitian and longevity expert Jennifer Scheinman, is exactly the problem. In this episode of Why Isn't Everyone Doing This?, Emily Fletcher sits down with Jennifer, a nutritionist with over 25 years of experience and a longevity expert at Timeline, the company behind the clinically studied Urolithin A supplement MitoPure, for a conversation that reframes everything from fatigue to aging to consciousness through the lens of your cells. Jennifer explains how the mitochondria work, why their decline accelerates in your 40s and 60s, and what you can actually do to slow that process. They cover the 12 biological hallmarks of aging, the cellular recycling system (mitophagy) that breaks down over time, why so many people can't produce Urolithin A on their own, and how to evaluate supplements in an industry the FDA doesn't fully regulate. They also connect it all to meditation, to stress, to perimenopause, and to the Greek myth of Persephone and the pomegranate. And at the very end: a fact about mitochondrial DNA that changes the way you think about your mother, your grandmother, and the feminine line you carry. In this episode, they explore: – What mitochondria are, what they do, and why they're more like a CEO than a powerhouse – The cellular recycling process (mitophagy) and why it slows with age – Zombie cells, inflammaging, and the 12 hallmarks of biological aging – Why aging isn't linear — and what the research says about the 40s and 60s – How meditation reduces the inflammation driving cellular decline – Urolithin A: what it is, how your gut should be making it, and why most people's isn't – How to read supplement labels and avoid "fairy dusting" and borrowed science – Timeline's clinical research: what the trials showed and how long results take – The topical MitoPure skincare line and UV-related skin aging – Why mitochondrial DNA is inherited exclusively through the maternal line – Persephone, pomegranates, 108 seeds, and the convergence of myth and molecule Key Moments: 00:00 — The question that opens the episode 03:00 — Mitochondria 101: what they really are 08:15 — Every cell except red blood cells runs on mitochondrial energy 10:00 — Mitophagy: your body's cellular cleanup crew 13:00 — Why aging accelerates in the 40s and again in the 60s 16:00 — Zombie cells and the inflammaging hallmark 19:00 — Meditation's effect on cellular inflammation — the Ziva link 25:00 — Fasting and perimenopause: what the science says for women 29:00 — How to evaluate supplements when labels aren't regulated 35:00 — Urolithin A: gut-made, often missing, and why it matters 40:00 — Why food alone won't get you there (6 cups of pomegranate juice a day) 44:00 — The clinical trials: muscle endurance at 2 months, strength at 4 months 53:00 — Urolithin A + exercise: a likely additive effect 58:00 — How Dr. Gabrielle Lyon first put this on Emily's radar 01:01:00 — The skincare line: bringing MitoPure topically 01:03:00 — Mitochondrial DNA and the matrilineal inheritance 01:05:00 — Persephone, pomegranates, and the place where science meets spirit About Jennifer Scheinman Jennifer Scheinman is a registered dietitian and nutritionist with over 25 years of experience.

Every diet you've ever tried has failed you for one reason: it never told you when to eat. Your body runs on two energy systems. One burns sugar. The other burns fat. Most people never spend a single day in the second one. Around eight to ten hours without food, the switch flips. Ketones flood your brain. Hunger quiets. Mental clarity hits. Healing turns on. This is what fasting expert Dr. Mindy Pelz has been teaching for over 25 years, and what her book Fast Like a Girl made impossible to ignore. For women, timing is everything. Day 1 to 10, fast longer and lift heavier. Day 11 to 15, testosterone surges and libido climbs. Day 16 to 19 is for deeper fasts. After day 20, progesterone needs you to back off and rest. Fast like a man during the back half of your cycle and you'll tank the very hormones keeping you calm and regular. Underneath all of it sits the hormonal hierarchy. Oxytocin at the top. Cortisol below it. Then insulin. Then sex hormones. When you feel safe and connected, the whole stack works. When you don't, nothing else matters. Connection isn't optional for women. It's biology. Dr. Mindy's books: Age Like a Girl How Menopause Rewires Your Brain for Mental Clarity, Increased Confidence, and Renewed Energy Eat Like a Girl: 100+ Delicious Recipes to Balance Hormones, Boost Energy, and Burn Fat Fast Like a Girl: A Woman's Guide to Using the Healing Power of Fasting to Burn Fat, Boost Energy, and Balance Hormones The Menopause Reset: Get Rid of Your Symptoms and Feel Like Your Younger Self Again The Reset Factor Kitchen: 101 Tasty Recipes to Eat Your Way to Wellness,Burn Belly Fat, and Maximize Your Energy The Reset Factor: 45 Days to TransformingYour Health by Repairing Your Gut In this episode you will: Learn the fasting cycle for women, Dr. Mindy's day-by-day framework that syncs your fasting window, workout intensity, and food choices to your menstrual cycle Uncover why your menstrual cycle is a monthly detox rather than a burden, and what an irregular or absent cycle is actually telling you about your body Discover why timing your eating matters more than what you eat, and how the ketogenic energy system unlocks fat burning, mental clarity, and steady energy Understand the hormonal hierarchy, how oxytocin, cortisol, insulin, and sex hormones stack on each other, and why female community and connection function as biological medicine Find out what long-term birth control does to the gut microbiome and the brain-ovary connection, and why so many women struggle with hormonal imbalances after coming off the pill For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1928 For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960 Follow The Daily Motivation for essential highlights from The School of Greatness More SOG episodes we think you'll love: Glucose Goddess Dr. Mary Claire Haver Dr. Mark Hyman TOPICS Dr. Mindy Pelz, intermittent fasting, ketogenic energy system, fasting cycle for women, hormonal hierarchy, menstrual cycle nutrition, cortisol and stress, birth control and microbiome, oxytocin and women's health, Fast Like a Girl Get more from Lewis!

One Creatine Dose Kept Sleep-Deprived Brains 12% Sharper A randomized, double-blind crossover trial kept 29 healthy adults awake for 21 hours straight ... half the time on a single moderate dose of creatine (~14g), half the time on placebo ... and found the creatine group held on to up to 12% more cognitive performance across logic, reaction time, and language processing. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why sleep deprivation is just another form of brain energy stress, how creatine's phosphate-buffering mechanism stabilizes ATP in the prefrontal cortex under pressure, and why this changes how he thinks about red-eye flights and all-nighters. Vegetarians and women showed the largest effects ... your baseline diet sets your ceiling.

Host Dave Asprey connects this to total toxic load management, explains why "natural" label claims mean nothing without polymer-free verification, and makes the case that even innocent daily habits contribute to the cumulative plastic burden most people aren't tracking. The takeaway isn't panic ... it's precision.

Host Dave Asprey explains why your vascular biology runs on a precise circadian schedule, why ambitious, otherwise-healthy people are most at risk of ignoring this lever, and why a 90-minute bedtime window ... protected even on weekends ... may be one of the cheapest cardiovascular interventions available. It'snot just how much you sleep. It's when.

Host Dave Asprey explains why this is the same early chapter that vincristine and paclitaxel were in before becoming mainstream chemotherapy, draws a hard line between this pipeline story and influencer narratives about kratom as a cancer treatment, and breaks down what it actually means when researchers crack a plant's genetic recipe for a bioactive compound. Nature has been solving cancer for millions of years... we're finally learning to read it.

Host Dave Asprey breaks down the BRDT mechanism that makes this work without touching testosterone or hormones, explains why this is a proof-of-concept rather than a near-market drug, and outlines the questions that need answering before this moves to humans: long-term testicular health, epigenetic marks in recovered sperm, and mood and testosterone interaction over time.

If you're over 50 and still doing cardio to stay healthy, you're wasting your time and may actually be making things worse. This episode breaks down the exact movements, supplements, and anti-aging strategies that build real strength, protect your bones, and extend your longevity without spending hours in the gym. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Will Harlow, a master's-level physiotherapist and founder of HT Physio, whose YouTube channel has amassed over 1.5 million subscribers by teaching people over 50 how to stay mobile, active, and independent without painkillers or surgery. Will graduated with a first-class degree from Brunel University, trained in both the NHS and professional sport, and has spent his career proving that what most doctors call "just aging" is actually optional. Together, Dave and Will dismantle the myths keeping older adults weak, injured, and overtrained. They get into why resistance training beats cardio for human performance and metabolism at every age, how anabolic resistance changes your protein needs after 50, which three compound movements deliver the biggest functional gains, and why your grip strength may be the most underrated biomarker you're ignoring. Dave also shares how he used biohacking, targeted supplements, and functional medicine principles to grow bones so dense his surgeon couldn't cut through them. They also dig into vestibular training, hydration, magnesium, Vitamin DAKE, and how tools like AI are now helping people identify movement problems before they become joint replacements. This is essential listening for anyone serious about longevity, anti-aging, biohacking, sleep optimization, supplements, smarter not harder training, human performance, and building a body that performs decades past its expiration date. You'll Learn: Why chronic cardio decreases bone density and muscle mass in people over 50 The 3-2-1 resistance training method that delivers 80% of results in 40 minutes a week How anabolic resistance changes protein requirements as you age and what to do about it The three compound movements every person over 50 should master first Why grip strength predicts overall health and how to train it How vestibular disorders silently destroy balance and confidence, and how to reverse them The supplement stack (Vitamin DAKE, magnesium glycinate, digestive enzymes) that supports bone, muscle, and metabolism Why 7,000 steps beats 10,000, and where that number actually came from How Dave used biohacking and functional medicine to grow bones that broke a surgeon's saw Why AI tools can now spot gait problems that lead to hip replacements years later Thank you to our sponsors! - Active Skin Repair | Get 25% off your order until May 21, after that, it drops back to 20%, visit ActiveSkinRepair.com and use code DAVE.
