This week's stories: Smartphone App Catches What Sleep Trackers Miss A 2026 trial found that suvorexant, a popular prescription sleep drug, improves sleep quality scores — but worsens morning alertness and cognitive function while improving afternoon and evening performance. The study used a smartphone app to pulse users throughout the day, revealing a split-time-of-day signal that traditional sleep scales miss entirely. Optimizing your sleep dashboard and optimizing your waking performance are not the same thing.

Instead, the bats maintain genome integrity through superior DNA repair and oxidative stress management driven by the metabolic demands of flight. Telomere length may be a symptom, not the cause — and the longevity industry has been measuring the wrong thing.

The mechanism is dual — soluble galactomannan fibers slow carbohydrate absorption while bioactive compounds improve insulin receptor sensitivity in muscle and liver. It's a cheap, food-grade, CGM-trackable lever that most people have never tried.

Arterial stiffness improved by 1.18 meters per second — equivalent to reversing roughly a decade of age-related decline. Blood pressure dropped 6.1 millimeters of mercury, outperforming aerobic exercise, HIIT, the DASH diet, omega-3s, and magnesium in head-to-head comparisons.

CO binds to hemoglobin more tightly than oxygen, quietly starving your brain, heart, and muscles while producing symptoms that mimic fatigue, brain fog, and the flu. The CDC estimates more than 400 Americans die from unintentional CO poisoning every year — and most of them never saw it coming.

The mechanism appears to be a mixed-fuel training effect: the liver and muscle learn to manage glucose and fat concurrently when both are present during high metabolic demand. Context changes the calculus, and the workout itself may be the variable that flips the equation.

Fat loss and muscle gain are often framed as simple equations — eat the right amount, train hard, stay consistent. And while those factors absolutely matter, they aren't the whole story. Your internal physiology plays a major role in how your body utilizes energy, recovers from training, and responds to nutrition.In this episode, we explore a factor that is frequently overlooked in conversations about body composition: digestive health.Chronic gut dysfunction doesn't just cause uncomfortable symptoms like bloating, reflux, gas, or irregular digestion. It can also create ongoing low-grade inflammation and stress signaling within the body. Over time, this can affect cortisol regulation, blood sugar control, recovery, and how efficiently your body uses energy.When these systems become dysregulated, fat loss and muscle gain can become significantly harder — not because you're doing something wrong, but because your body is adapting to a chronically stressed internal environment.This episode walks through how gut dysfunction can trigger a cascade of physiological effects that influence metabolism, recovery, hormone signaling, and body composition. More importantly, it helps you understand how to identify these patterns and where to start if digestive stress may be contributing to a plateau.The goal isn't to make body composition feel more complicated — it's to provide clarity so you can approach your health and fitness goals more strategically instead of simply pushing harder.In this episode, we cover:• Why chronic gut dysfunction acts as a persistent stress signal in the body• How inflammation from digestive distress influences cortisol regulation• The connection between chronic stress signaling, blood sugar regulation, and insulin resistance• Why impaired glucose control can slow energy expenditure and lower daily calorie burn• How chronic stress and sympathetic activation affect digestion and nutrient absorption• The role digestion plays in hormone balance, including thyroid and sex hormones• Why gut dysfunction can interfere with muscle recovery and growth• How digestive stress can impact sleep quality and recovery from training• Signs your digestion may be contributing to stalled fat loss or muscle gain• Foundational strategies that help restore digestive stability and reduce chronic gut stressIf you've been feeling stuck in your body composition goals despite putting in consistent effort, this episode will help you better understand what might be happening beneath the surface — and why supporting your digestive system may be an important first step.Connect With Coach DianaInstagram, YouTube, TikTok: @coachdianaleighEmail: coachdianaleigh@gmail.com

What if understanding how AI thinks could reveal uncomfortable truths about how your own brain works, and give you powerful tools to make smarter decisions, resist manipulation, and upgrade your cognition at the root level? -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Tom Griffiths, the Henry R. Luce Professor of Information Technology, Consciousness, and Culture in the Departments of Psychology and Computer Science at Princeton University. Griffiths directs Princeton's Computational Cognitive Science Lab, a research group focused on understanding the mathematical foundations of human cognition, and the Princeton Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence. He is the coauthor of Algorithms to Live By and the author of the new book The Laws of Thought, and his award-winning research has appeared in Science, Nature, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Together, Dave and Tom go deep on the cognitive science behind human performance, brain optimization, and the surprising overlap between biohacking and artificial intelligence. They explore why your body filters reality before your conscious brain ever sees it, how your mitochondria function as a distributed cognitive network, and what that means for longevity, decision-making, and neuroplasticity. You'll Learn: Why AI models reveal that humans may be more "stochastic parrots" than we'd like to admit How your mitochondria pre-process sensory reality before your auditory cortex even fires Why emotions like anger, love, and remorse are computational tools evolution built into your reward function How low energy and blood sugar directly degrade your decision-making at a hardware level What "resource rationality" means and how to use it to make better decisions under constraint Why AI systems have measurable psychological personalities, and which ones are least likely to mess with your head How neuroplasticity can eliminate the inner critic and reshape your mental operating system Why two-process cognition (fast and slow thinking) is a feature, not a bug, of human intelligence Thank you to our sponsors! -BEYOND Biohacking Conference 2026 | Register with code DAVE300 for $300 off https://beyondconference.com-Essentia | Go to https://myessentia.com/dave and use code DAVE for $100 off The Dave Asprey Upgrade.-Quantum Upgrade | Try it free for 15 days — no credit card required — at QuantumUpgrade.io/DAVE.

In this episode, Anthony Diehl and Aaron Chappel from MODUS pull back the curtain on the "Longevity Arc" of elite strength. From World's Strongest Man stages to the life-changing reality of metabolic health, we break down why the "Meathead Identity" is dead and how to build a B-Plan that actually saves lives. We discuss the transition from "Big and Fat" powerlifting to a "Metabolism-First" approach, proving that muscle is more than just for show—it is your primary defense against chronic disease. MEET THE GUESTS Anthony Diehl (Founder, MODUS): A pro-level strongman and coach who transformed from an overweight teenager into a high-level strength athlete. Anthony's trajectory was profoundly shaped by his son's autism diagnosis, leading him down a "rabbit hole" to become an expert in gut health, cellular inflammation, and metabolic optimization. While his pro strongman days are behind him, he continues to push limits through bodybuilding, Jiu-Jitsu, and ultra-endurance challenges. Aaron Chappel (Masters World Record Holder): A top all-time powerlifter across multiple weight classes and a veteran health educator with over 15 years of experience. Aaron blends technical precision with the heart of a mentor, specializing in movement quality and individualized programming. Outside the gym, he is a dedicated father, church leader, high school swim coach, and an NCAA water polo official.

Episode 3321: Eric Bach explains that chasing fat loss and muscle gain at the same time often leads to stalled progress because the body needs opposite conditions for each goal. By getting lean first, you improve health markers, insulin sensitivity, and motivation while revealing existing muscle definition. Once body fat is lower, your body becomes far better positioned to add lean muscle efficiently. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://bachperformance.com/should-i-lose-weight-before-building-muscle/ Quotes to ponder: "At any given point in time you're either anabolic (building) or catabolic (breaking down)." "The fastest way to lose fat and build muscle is to get lean first, then build muscle." "Fat loss and muscle growth are on two opposite sides of the physiological spectrum."

If you're over 40 and doing "everything right" — eating clean, lifting weights, prioritizing sleep — but your metabolism feels slower, hunger feels stronger, and fat loss feels harder… This episode explains why. In this deep-dive rabbit hole, Coach Debbie Potts uncovers the powerful (and often overlooked) connection between bile flow, mitochondrial efficiency, GLP-1 signaling, hormones, and midlife metabolism. Bile acids are not just digestive fluids. They are metabolic signaling molecules that regulate: • GLP-1 and PYY (satiety hormones) • Insulin sensitivity • Fat oxidation • Thyroid receptor expression • Estrogen clearance (the estrobolome) • Microbiome balance • Inflammatory tone • Toxin elimination You'll learn how midlife hormonal shifts — including declining estrogen and testosterone — affect mitochondrial ATP production, bile synthesis, and receptor signaling. When bile signaling weakens, GLP-1 drops, hunger rises, insulin resistance increases, fat oxidation declines, inflammation builds, and metabolism adapts downward. This isn't a willpower problem. It's a signaling problem. High performers often feel this shift first because chronic stress suppresses digestion, weakens vagal tone, reduces stomach acid, impairs gallbladder contraction, and disrupts bile release. In this episode, Debbie connects the dots and explains the midlife cascade: Hormone shift → Mitochondrial decline → Bile signaling weakens → GLP-1 drops → Insulin resistance rises → Fat oxidation slows → Inflammation increases → Thyroid sensitivity declines → Metabolic rate adapts downward. You'll also learn why GLP-1 medications are exploding in popularity — and why restoring upstream physiology may be the more sustainable path. Instead of pushing harder, we sequence smarter. When flow restores, metabolism follows.

In this episode, Vanessa is joined by Dr. Jason Fung, author of The Hunger Code, to unpack the hormonal science behind fat loss — and how fasting may be entering a new era. They start with the three types of hunger and why obesity is not simply about willpower, but disrupted hormonal signaling. We break down insulin's role in fat storage, obesity, and how ultra-processed foods blunt satiety hormones. Vanessa and Dr. Fung also discuss how protein, fiber, and fat affect hunger very differently than refined carbohydrates — and why a calorie is not metabolically neutral. Then they shift to fasting. Dr. Fung shares his current protocols and comments on emerging research supporting Protein-Sparing Modified Fasting (PSMF) as a more practical, muscle-conscious alternative to prolonged water fasting. They cover: • PSMF vs water fasting • Protecting lean mass during fat loss • GLP-1 medications — risks and unintended consequences • Appetite suppression vs true metabolic health • Fat loss considerations for women in peri- and post-menopause This conversation challenges the idea that all fasting approaches are created equal — and reframes modern fat loss through a hormonal lens.

Most women will research every stroller, bottle, and sleep schedule for their baby but spend almost no time thinking about how to support their own body during pregnancy.  In this episode, I'm sharing a “half baked” pregnancy update and pulling back the curtain on what I've actually been doing to support my body while growing this baby.  The reality is that most prenatal care is focused on monitoring the baby, not optimizing the mother's health. And while that makes sense medically, it also leaves a huge gap in how women care for themselves during one of the most physically demanding seasons of life.  Pregnancy is often treated like a time to pause your health goals, but I see it more like a sport that requires intentional preparation and support. In this episode, I walk through the team I've built around me including a functional practitioner, doula, midwife, pelvic floor physical therapist, chiropractor, and massage therapist and why I chose to outsource as many decisions as possible during this season.  I share what the first trimester actually looked like for me, from fatigue and nausea to the unexpected mental challenge of body image changes.  We also talk about the simple systems I'm using moving into the second and third trimesters, including strength training, daily movement, blood sugar stability, and pelvic floor work.  I explain how I'm thinking about nutrition not just for myself, but for my baby's long-term health and taste development. We'll also talk honestly about the physical discomforts of pregnancy and the moments that can make you question whether something is wrong. Finally, I share how researching birth options shifted my mindset from nervousness to genuine excitement, and why I ultimately decided on a home birth with a midwife and doula while still working with my OB for imaging.  If you're pregnant, planning to be, or just curious about a different approach to supporting your body through pregnancy, this episode offers a real, honest look behind the scenes.   Time Stamps:   (2:54) The Anatomy Scan (11:02) What I'm Doing/Will Do During Pregnancy (14:02) Midwife vs Traditional OBGYN Care (19:43) Letting Experts Help Me (28:24) Choosing A Home Birth --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

This episode starts where it should — not with credentials, but with character.Rod sits down with Dr. Ben Page to talk about who he is as a man and father before ever touching chiropractic, books, or business. Ben shares what it's like raising a 20-year-old and a 2-year-old at the same time, and how perspective changes when you realize how fast the moments go.From there, the conversation moves into discipline, cold showers, early mornings, and why consistency beats intensity. Ben explains his philosophy that the body heals itself when given proper motion, nutrition, rest, and patience.They cover:Why flexibility may matter more than strength for aging menWhy healing takes time (and meds don't actually heal)Meat and fat as fuel, plants as medicineThe emotional pillar many dads neglectHow nature helped Ben overcome a dark mental seasonOne practical shift dads can make this weekIf you're training hard, feeling beat up, or carrying more stress than you admit, this episode will challenge you to rethink healing.Subscribe, share with a dad, and leave a quick review.00:00 – Opening: Who Ben Is as a Man02:00 – Raising a 20-Year-Old and a 2-Year-Old08:00 – Time Management & 5AM Discipline15:00 – Cold Showers & Choosing Hard19:00 – What Chiropractors Really Do24:30 – Meat, Fat & Plants Explained28:45 – The 4 Pillars of Health31:00 – Playing in the Dirt & Emotional Healing35:00 – The Comfrey Story41:00 – Biggest Mistakes Men Make with Injuries49:30 – The Most Neglected Pillar52:00 – One Change Dads Can Make This Week59:00 – Rapid Fire Questions

This week's stories: Healthy Diets That Offset "Bad Genes" A major UK Biobank study of over 100,000 people found that following any one of five healthy dietary patterns was associated with up to 3 extra years of life — and the benefit held regardless of genetic predisposition to longevity. Your DNA is not an excuse. The macro pattern matters more than the perfect protocol. • Sources: -https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.ads7559 -https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12904179 -https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/eat-well-live-longer-study-5-healthy-diet-plans-longevity Micro-Habits in Sleep, Activity, and Diet That Extend Life Researchers built a composite "SPAN" score combining sleep, movement, sedentary time, and diet quality and found that small improvements across all four — we're talking minutes per day — cut mortality risk by up to 64% when stacked together.

Microplastics are invading your brain, blood, hormones, and fat tissue, and most people have no idea how deep the damage goes. In this episode, Host Dave Asprey and microplastics expert Josephine Musco break down exactly what these particles are doing inside your body and give you a practical, science-backed action plan to detox, protect yourself, and take back control of your biology. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Get a discount on Olyxir Tea by going to https://www.olyxir.com/ and using code ‘Dave10' at checkout Josephine Musco is a multidisciplinary entrepreneur, Demeter-certified biodynamic farmer, and winemaker at Chateau Bellevue 1881 in Livermore, California.

She is best known for translating complex research on aging, nutrition, environmental toxins, and functional medicine into practical daily habits, and for her work exposing microplastics and PFAs as one of the most underestimated drivers of accelerated biological aging. Dave Asprey and Josephine cover the full picture: how nanoplastics cross the blood-brain barrier and accumulate in postmortem brain tissue, how endocrine disruption from plastics tanks testosterone and drives fat storage, and why your teabag, canned soup, and yoga pants may be among your biggest sources of daily exposure. They also go deep on real solutions, from lymphatic drainage protocols and infrared sauna to supplements like chlorella, lactobacillus, and olive leaf polyphenols that actively help the body clear microplastics and support longevity and brain optimization. This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, anti-aging, metabolism, brain optimization, supplements, human performance, and smarter not harder approaches to living clean in a toxic world. If you drink tea, cook with plastic utensils, or wear synthetic workout clothes, this episode will change how you make decisions every single day. You'll Learn: Why 0.5 percent of postmortem brain tissue is now made of microplastics and what that means for neuroplasticity and cognitive decline How microplastics mimic estrogen, disrupt metabolism, and make it nearly impossible to lose fat The link between microplastic plaque in carotid arteries and a 4.5x increased risk of cardiac events Which everyday sources, including teabags, canned soup, cookware, and plastic cutting boards, are silently loading your body with nanoplastics How lactobacillus reduced microplastics in the blood by 82 percent in studies, and which other supplements support detox Why Dave Asprey drinks Danger Coffee from a metal container and what his full microplastic reduction protocol looks like How olive leaf polyphenols, with 26,215 micrograms per gram, act as powerful free radical scavengers to support brain optimization and anti-aging The morning lymphatic activation routine that combines rebounding, herbal strips, and whole body vibration for deep cellular detox Why AI and citizen science are accelerating our understanding of microplastic damage faster than traditional medicine Thank you to our sponsors!

When I started looking into it further I found that the people on the list were in multiple other Halls of Fame as well. I wanted to find out what musician is in the most Halls. There is a clear winner."

Most doctors treat the average patient. But you are not average, and this episode gives you the precision medicine blueprint to treat yourself like the individual you are, using multi-omic testing, biohacking technology, and longevity science to optimize every layer of your biology. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Anil Bajnath, a Board-Certified Family Physician, author of The Longevity Equation, and President and Founder of the American Board of Precision Medicine. He serves as Adjunct Professor at the George Washington University School of Medicine and CEO of the Institute for Human Optimization. Dr. Bajnath is certified through the Institute for Functional Medicine, board certified in anti-aging and regenerative medicine, and is one of the few clinicians actively applying genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and epigenetics together in a real clinical practice. Together, Dave and Dr. Bajnath break down why population-based medicine fails individuals, how functional medicine and precision science combine to unlock real human performance, and why your mitochondria sit at the foundation of every longevity strategy worth pursuing. They dig into how AI can help you decode your own inflammasome biology, why biohackers are using “sex drugs” to extend longevity, why vagal nerve stimulation directly suppresses the NLRP3 inflammasome, and which biomarkers like MMP9 and homocysteine mainstream medicine keeps ignoring. They also cover peptides, supplements, the dark side of metformin, microdosing for anti-aging, and why biohacking works best when it's personalized and precise. This is essential listening for anyone serious about longevity, smarter not harder health strategies, metabolism, sleep optimization, brain optimization, functional medicine, and taking full control of their biology. You'll Learn: Why precision medicine outperforms population-based health strategies for human performance How to layer genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics into one complete biological picture Which longevity biomarkers your doctor is likely ignoring, including MMP9 and homocysteine How vagal nerve stimulation suppresses the NLRP3 inflammasome and drives anti-aging benefits The real story on metformin, peptides, and which supplements actually move the needle How AI can help you understand your own biology and act on it faster Why biohacking precision beats random stacking every time Thank you to our sponsors! • Igniton | Head over to Igniton.com and use code DAVE for an exclusive 15% off your first order. • BEYOND Biohacking Conference 2026 | Register with code DAVE300 for $300 off https://beyondconference.com • Caldera + Lab | Go to https://calderalab.com/DAVE and use code DAVE at checkout for 20% off your first order. • Screenfit | Get your at-home eye training program for 40% off using code DAVE at https://www.screenfit.com/dave.

In this episode of Keeping Abreast, Dr. Jenn Simmons is joined by Jen Nolan and Sara Stratton of Remission Nutrition for a conversation that cuts through the noise around “healthy living” after a breast cancer diagnosis.Jen explains how nutrigenomics (genetic-based nutrition + lifestyle guidance) helps women understand what their body actually needs, from detox capacity to fat metabolism to exercise tolerance. Dr. Jenn shares her own example: years of high-intensity endurance workouts that she thought were helping until genetic testing revealed they were doing real harm.Sara shares her story of being diagnosed with stage 3C triple positive breast cancer at 37, and how she supported her body through chemotherapy and recovery using a metabolic approach, including fasting around treatment, strength training, mindfulness, and carefully chosen supplements. Together, they talk about how to make changes without overwhelm, avoid fear-based restriction and orthorexia, navigate resistance from conventional providers, and build a lifestyle that's sustainable long-term - with joy included.In This Episode, You'll Learn:What nutrigenomics can tell you about food, detox, sleep, stress, and exerciseSara's approach to supporting her body during chemo: fasting, movement, mindfulness, and recoveryWhat to know about supplements during chemotherapy including why antioxidants can be trickyWhy people get overwhelmed after diagnosis, and how to start with small, realistic stepsThe “crowding out” method: what to add first so healthy habits stickCommon non-negotiables that move the needle fast (Diet soda + processed snack foods)How to avoid orthorexia and stop turning food into fearHow to advocate for yourself when your oncologist dismisses integrative toolsEpisode Timeline: 01:06 Introducing Jen Nolan + Sara Stratton 04:10 Nutrigenomics and personalized healing 10:56 Sara's diagnosis at 37 + what life looked like before 13:55 Metabolic approach during treatment (fasting, keto, movement) 24:14 Fasting around chemo + how she trained through treatment 28:47 Supplements + what to avoid during chemotherapy 32:11 Fat metabolism genes + why keto doesn't work the same for everyone 35:59 How to start without overwhelm (3 changes at a time) 44:44 Treatment phase vs. long-term lifestyle (graduating from strictness) 49:55 Why conventional providers resist integrative support 51:43 What to do when your oncologist dismisses fasting/nutrition 54:34 Why breast cancer is usually not an emergency (and time matters) 58:48 Joy, purpose, and living while healingTo talk to a member of Dr. Jenn's team and learn more about working privately with Dr. Jenn visit: https://calendly.com/stephanie-1031/clarity-callTo get your copy of Dr. Jenn's book, The Smart Woman's Guide to Breast Cancer, visit: https://tinyurl.com/SmartWomansBreastCancerGuideTo purchase the auria breast cancer screening test go here https://auria.care/ and use the code DRJENN20 for 20% Off.Connect with Dr. Jenn:Website: https://www.jennsimmonsmd.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrJennSimmonsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drjennsimmons/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@dr.jennsimmons

These pressures can contribute to disordered eating, a struggle that is often overlooked in men despite its prevalence in the gay community.In this episode, Kyle Ridley, an Emmy Award winning journalist, joins us to discuss his personal experiences with disordered eating, the unique body image pressures faced by queer men, and strategies for navigating these struggles.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 32.

Today's In Your Corner question comes from an Instagram follower asking: "How do I find a fat-friendly fertility clinic? My local clinic won't treat me at my current BMI and made me feel terrible at their open evening. How do I find a clinic that won't shame me? And what questions should I ask before booking to avoid wasting time and money?"If you've had a similar experience of not being able to access the care you need, this episode is for you. You are not at fault. This is the fault of the clinic and the fertility industry for being so fatphobic and biased against fat people.In this episode, we cover:- Where to start looking for fat-friendly clinics (including my clinic recommendation list with over 100 clinics)- How to ask other fat folks for recommendations through local and online communities- Essential questions to ask before giving a clinic any money (and why you need answers in writing)- How to protect yourself emotionally during the search process, including getting your partner involved- Why you absolutely deserve care that respects you and treats your boundaries appropriatelyUseful Links:Download: Fat Person's Guide to Getting PregnantBook a Fat Positive Fertility Roadmap SessionFollow me on InstagramEmail me a question for a future episodeFat-Friendly Fertility Clinic List Get full access to Fat and Fertile at fatpositivefertility.substack.com/subscribe

348: Does dairy love you back… or is it low key sabotaging your skin, gut, and sinuses? Today I'm sharing my very personal, very real journey with dairy, from going fully dairy free during my worst gut struggles to slowly rebuilding tolerance with cultured options like Greek yogurt. I'm breaking down why some forms, like stretchy melty cheeses, still wreck me, while others work beautifully, and why fat content has suddenly changed the game for my body. We're talking mucus, breakouts, lactose vs intolerance, A2, raw milk, portion size, and why this doesn't have to be an all or nothing conversation. Your body changes, your digestion evolves, and what worked three years ago might not work today. If you've ever said “dairy just doesn't sit right with me,” this episode might help you figure out why. Topics Discussed: → How dairy has affected me over the years → How to introduce diary into your diet → Why some cheese can cause issues others don't → It's not all about ingredients but the process  → Is raw dairy REALLY ok and why I stopped drinking it → Sheeps milk, goats milk, and A2 dairy  → Why it's not an all or nothing approach when it comes to consuming dairy As always, if you have any questions for the show please email us at digestthispod@gmail.com.

You are not failing because you lack discipline. You're struggling because you're trying to live like a machine.  In this episode, I'm breaking down why most systems fall apart the moment life gets hard and how to rebuild yours so it actually works for a human nervous system.  We're taught to design routines assuming endless energy, focus, and motivation, but real life doesn't operate that way. You have limited time, attention, and willpower, and your systems need to reflect that reality.  I explain why the most effective systems are the ones that require the least amount of thinking and decision-making. When stress hits, you don't rise to the occasion. You default to your systems. If your routine only works on your best days, it's not a system, it's a wish. I walk you through how to design structures that hold you steady when you're tired, overwhelmed, or distracted. We'll talk about simplifying your priorities so consistency becomes automatic instead of exhausting.  I introduce the Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C framework to help you escape the all-or-nothing cycle. Plan A is for high-energy days, Plan B supports you when things feel harder, and Plan C keeps you moving forward on your worst days.  Success doesn't need to look the same every day, especially in different seasons of life. This episode will help you build systems that meet you where you are, so you can stay consistent without burning yourself out.   Time Stamps:   (2:32) Moving Updates   (6:22) The Fresh Start Effect   (8:54) Different Levels To Our Goals   (14:29) Beware Of The Comparison Trap   (16:28) Vanessa's Plan A --------------------- Find Out More Information on Vital Spark Coaching --------------------- Follow @vanessagfitness on Instagram for daily fitness tips & motivation.  --------------------- Download Our FREE Metabolism-Boosting Workout Program --------------------- Join the Women's Metabolism Secrets Facebook Community for 25+ videos teaching you how to start losing fat without hating your life! --------------------- Click here to send me a message on Facebook and we'll see how I can help or what best free resources I can share! --------------------- Interested in 1-on-1 Coaching with my team of Metabolism & Hormone Experts?

Fat is one of the cornerstones of ancestral eating. But getting hold of good saturated fat is not easy and can be eye-wateringly expensive. Making it at home, as Andrea and I do, you can cut your costs incredibly and also feel sure of the provenance and processing.This episode will talk you through everything you need to know about rendering fat. We'll explain the different types of fats, their names, their properties and how you can use them. We'll then demystify the ways you can render fat in your kitchen, no matter what equipment you have, giving you step-by-step instructions. We'll clarify how you'll know your fat is done, what to do with the leftovers, how to clean up, the many different ways you can store your fat and how to know if it's gone bad.This episode is peppered with real questions from real ancestral cooks about fat rendering – thank you to every supporter who sent in their query.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *Get more news from Alison & Andrea by signing up to their newsletter here.For a free 30-page guide to Baking with Ancient Grains sign up for Alison's newsletter here!Get our three podcast cookbooks:Meals at the Ancestral HearthSpelt Sourdough Every DayThe Pastured Pork CookbookGet all three of our cookbooks!

In this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews Daniel McDonnell co-founder of Maple Movement, shares how severe gut health issues during his professional Ironman career led him to discover the power of maple syrup as a natural fuel source and launch Maple Movement. What began as a house-deposit gamble quickly evolved into a fast-growing gut-friendly energy gel brand now stocked in 125+ stores across Australia and New Zealand. Daniel opens up about bootstrapping the business, learning margins from scratch, managing rapid growth from his living room, and transitioning to a 3PL. He dives into brand positioning, organic content strategy, subscription revenue, and building a lean, aligned team. It's a raw, practical story of turning personal pain into a scalable FMCG business with purpose and momentum. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Daniel McDonnell, the hardest part of growing a small business is keeping up with rapid growth before scalable systems are fully in place, especially during big sales months when demand spikes beyond operational capacity. He shared how he and his wife were packing nearly 95 orders a day from their living room while trying to maintain a personal brand touch, highlighting that the real challenge wasn't generating sales but managing growth sustainably while building the right infrastructure to support it. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Daniel said his favorite business book that's helped him the most is "Built to Sell" by John Warrillow — a practical guide about structuring and scaling a business so it's not dependent on the founder and becomes sellable. He's mentioned it shaped how he thinks about systems, value creation, and building something that can run beyond him. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? According to Daniel McDonnell, one podcast he highly recommends for small business growth is Chew the Fat by the Greive brothers, where they share real, relatable stories after building and exiting Realbase. He values listening to founders who have scaled and exited businesses, as their practical lessons help avoid costly mistakes. Daniel also emphasizes learning directly from experienced mentors and operators rather than figuring everything out the hard way. For him, real-world business conversations and founder-led insights have been the most impactful learning resources. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Daniel McDonnell would point to a tool that helps you systemize and scale without chaos, and one he personally recommends is Notion — it's where he organizes products, SOPs, content calendars, order processes, and more in one place so nothing slips through the cracks. He also emphasizes tools for automating the parts of your business that don't need manual work, like Mailchimp or Klaviyo for email automation, and Shopify + a good 3PL integration to handle orders cleanly as volume grows. For analytics and ads, basic dashboards like Google Analytics and Facebook/Meta Business Suite help you make smarter decisions instead of guessing. The key, he says, isn't having every tool under the sun — it's picking the ones that actually save you time and help you standardize your processes so the business can scale. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? According to Daniel McDonnell, on day one he would tell himself to raise far more capital than he thinks he needs, understand margins and cash flow from the start, and build scalable systems early—because growth can come fast, but without enough cash and structure, it becomes far more stressful than it needs to be.

This week's stories: Sinclair's This Is the Test: Are we about to see age reversal in humans? At the World Governments Summit 2026 in Dubai, Harvard geneticist David Sinclair told world leaders that ageing could soon be reversible and said the first human clinical trials of epigenetic reprogramming therapies are moving forward. The core idea is that ageing is partly an information problem, how cells read DNA, not just cumulative damage, and that partial reprogramming could restore youthful function without turning tissues into tumors. Dave frames this as a rare binary moment for longevity: either early, localized human trials (starting with tightly controlled tissue targets like the eye) show meaningful functional rejuvenation with acceptable safety, or the field has to recalibrate fast. Either way, the next couple of years will heavily influence where money, regulators, and serious researchers place their bets. • Sources: – World Governments Summit: https://www.worldgovernmentssummit.org/media-hub/news/detail/ageing-could-soon-be-reversible-says-harvard-scientist-at-wgs-2026 – NAD / Life Biosciences coverage: https://www.nad.com/news/fda-greenlights-life-biosciences-human-study-setting-up-pivotal-test-for-aging-theory-from-harvards-david-sinclair AlphaFold 4 in a locked box: DeepMind's private AI drug design engine Isomorphic Labs, DeepMind's drug discovery company, unveiled a proprietary drug design engine that outside scientists are comparing to an AlphaFold 4 moment, but for designing drugs, not just predicting structures. The big shift is that this system is closed: no public weights, no open database, and access appears to flow through partnerships with pharma companies. Dave breaks down why that matters for the longevity world: if AI makes early discovery cheaper and faster, we might see more serious shots on ageing targets over the next decade, but a closed model can also mean less transparency, bigger IP moats, and no guarantee that faster discovery leads to cheaper drugs. • Sources: – Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-00365-7 – Isomorphic Labs: https://www.isomorphiclabs.com/articles/the-isomorphic-labs-drug-design-engine-unlocks-a-new-frontier Peptides in the freezer: El Mencho's anti aging stash and the dark side of wellness After reports and images from the final hideout linked to Jalisco New Generation Cartel leader Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes (El Mencho), coverage highlighted a detail that feels uncomfortably familiar to anyone in the modern wellness internet: injectable vials stored in a freezer with a schedule attached, including Tationil Plus, a glutathione based injectable marketed in some places for “cellular health,” cosmetic effects, and anti ageing. Dave uses the absurdity as a narrative wedge, not cartel gossip, to talk about how normalized gray market injectables have become, and how marketing (“detox,” “cellular reset”) often outruns evidence and safety. The segment pivots into a practical filter: which compounds are real therapeutics under medical supervision, and which are expensive folklore with sourcing risk and unknown long term downsides. • Sources: – New York Post: https://nypost.com/2026/02/25/world-news/inside-the-luxurious-love-nest-where-mexican-drug-lord-el-mencho-spent-his-final-days/ – Sky News (Reuters photos referenced): https://news.sky.com/story/inside-the-mexican-villa-where-feared-drug-lord-el-mencho-spent-final-hours-13511954 – Reuters photo gallery: https://www.reuters.com/pictures/el-menchos-last-hideout-inside-villa-where-cartel-leader-spent-final-hours-2026-02-25/W7DK5WEXS5IMLLZQO2P3CXGXFM The disease we thought was dead: measles comes roaring back Measles cases have surged in early 2026, with reporting citing at least 588 cases in the U.S. by late January, already more than many full year totals, and additional updates showing continued acceleration into February. Dave reframes this as a healthspan floor issue: you can argue about peptides and mitochondria all day, but measles is so contagious that once community immunity drops, outbreaks move fast and hit the most vulnerable first, especially infants and immunocompromised people. He also flags the systems problem: many clinicians have never seen measles, which increases the odds of delayed recognition and wider exposure in waiting rooms. The actionable move is boring and high ROI: verify MMR status for you and your family and close gaps before outbreaks get closer to home. • Sources: – AMA Morning Rounds (Week of Feb. 2, 2026): https://www.ama-assn.org/about/publications-newsletters/top-news-stories-ama-morning-rounds-week-feb-2-2026 – ABC News (CDC case count coverage): https://abcnews.com/Health/588-us-measles-cases-reported-january-cdc/story?id=129699078 – CIDRAP (case tracking context): https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/measles/us-measles-cases-soar-588-so-far-year-south-carolina-confirms-58-new-infections DC vs your health: Trump's State of the Union health reset President Donald Trump's 2026 State of the Union included a cluster of healthcare themes that function as a directional signal for agencies and payers this year, including drug pricing rhetoric, price transparency, and broader coverage and affordability framing. Dave translates the politics into a practical heuristic for biohackers: federal posture quietly determines what becomes easy versus painful to access in the legitimate system, from GLP 1 coverage rules and prior auth behavior to how friendly the environment is for telehealth, at home diagnostics, and eventually whatever “real longevity medicine” looks like. You do not need every policy detail in a weekly rundown, just the weather report: reimbursement and enforcement trends shape what stays niche, what scales, and what gets friction. • Sources: – Advisory Board: https://www.advisory.com/daily-briefing/2026/02/25/health-policy-roundup – Healthcare Dive: https://www.healthcaredive.com/news/trump-state-of-the-union-healthcare-2026/812962/ – This Week in Public Health analysis: https://thisweekinpublichealth.com/blog/2026/02/25/the-2026-state-of-the-union-what-it-means-for-health-and-public-health/ All source links are provided for direct access to the original reporting and research.

Peptides can change how you heal, lean out, build muscle, and age, but only if you stop taking influencer advice and start thinking like a scientist. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Get a discount from BIOLONGEVITY LABS by using code ‘Dave' at: https://biolongevitylabs.com/ Host Dave Asprey sits down with Josh Felber and Jay Campbell for a deep, practical conversation on what peptides actually are, how they work in the body, and how to use them without doing something dumb. Josh Felber and Jay Campbell are both cofounders of BioLongevity Labs and longtime leaders in the peptide and performance space. Josh is also the host of the Making Bank podcast and a serial entrepreneur in health. Jay has spent more than a decade researching and teaching advanced peptide protocols and performance strategies. They break peptides down in plain English as chains of amino acids that act like signaling molecules, then get into what matters in the real world: delivery methods, dosing, and why pharmacokinetics and timing decide whether something works. You'll hear why peptide pens feel like a huge upgrade over vials and syringes, why Dave wants patches and microneedle tech next, and how convenience can make the difference between consistency and quitting. Dave and the guys also go deep on mitochondria and longevity. They talk about SS31, now called elamipretide, and why it focuses on mitochondrial membranes and cardiolipin. They cover MOTS-c as a “turbocharger” peptide that people often feel fast, especially if they feel metabolically sluggish. They get into growth hormone peptides like Tesamorelin, Ipamorelin, and CJC, plus why MK-677 sounds convenient but can come with tradeoffs like appetite and other downstream effects. Then the conversation turns into what's new. Jay shares what he claims is a new long-acting folistatin-style compound called FLGR 242, designed to stay active for weeks. He frames it as a potential solution for GLP users who worry about losing muscle. They also talk about Klotho, what it does in aging, why it is hard to stabilize, and why Jay believes small dosing matters because of kidney risk at higher levels. Dave ties Klotho back to endothelial function and kidney protection, and they swap stories about what people report noticing. You'll Learn: • What peptides are, explained without jargon • Why delivery matters and why pens beat mixing vials all day • How PK curves change real results and dosing schedules • What elamipretide means for mitochondria and longevity • Why MOTS-c can feel like a fast energy shift for some people • How Tesamorelin, Ipamorelin, and CJC fit into growth hormone support • Why MK-677 sounds easy but can bring unwanted effects • What Jay claims FLGR 242 does for myostatin, muscle, and fat loss • Why Klotho shows up in longevity research and why dose matters Thank you to our sponsors! • 2026 Clean Nicotine Roadmap | Enroll for free at https://daveasprey.com/2026-clean-nicotine-roadmap/ • Generation Lab | Go to https://www.generationlab.com/ and use code Dave20 for $20 off to see what your body is really doing beneath the surface. • Pique | Establish a powerful foundation for sustained wellness at https://www.piquelife.com/DAVE and unlock 20% off. • Vibrant Blue Oils | Grab a full-size bottle for over 50% off at https://vibrantblueoils.com/dave Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Send a textAfter a decade in emergency medicine, Dr. Gajer shifted her focus to proactive, root-cause care centered on metabolic health, habit change, and improving healthspan. We talk about what's missing in modern medicine, why being told “it's just genetic” is rarely the full story, and how insulin resistance quietly drives many midlife symptoms.We dive into fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, and loss of vitality, especially during perimenopause, and how insulin resistance, muscle loss, inflammation, gut health, thyroid and cortisol imbalance, and hormone shifts all connect. Dr. Gajer explains insulin resistance in simple terms and why the eat less move more approach often backfires in midlife.What we cover:Why midlife weight gain often comes down to insulin resistanceWhat insulin is doing behind the scenesWhy genetics are not the whole pictureThe metabolism shift that works in midlife: building muscle and stabilizing blood sugarProtein and fiber targets for metabolic healthSimple tools like post-meal walks and consistent eating windowsHow sleep and light exposure affect insulin resistancePerimenopause hormone changes and sleep disruptionFind Dr Gajer: website click hereFind Jess below!Website: Simply Jess Skincare SIMPLY JESS SKINCARE:Each and every product is naturally derived, highly concentrated and most importantly, super performing!

In this episode of The Health Fix Podcast, Jay Campbell, best known for being the testosterone replacement therapy guru shares his two-decade plus journey into the world of peptides and hormone replacement therapy and how these compounds have transformed not just physique and fat loss, but metabolic health and longevity.  This conversation goes far beyond weight loss headlines and dives into the mental benefit side of health optimization. **We get real in this episode and there's some swear words so if you're listening with kiddos around listen with caution** What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why GLP peptides are reshaping obesity treatment The power of microdosing peptides, especially GLP-1's, for sustainable results Why education is the missing link for both clinicians and patients Injectable vs oral peptides — what actually works The role of lifestyle optimization alongside peptide therapy How misinformation (and AI amplification) is distorting public perception The humanitarian mission to make peptide therapies more accessible Peptides Are a Tool — Not a Shortcut Jay emphasizes that GLP peptides can dramatically improve metabolic health but without lifestyle changes, long-term success is limited. For those who want to stay active and adventure-ready, peptides may: Improve insulin sensitivity Reduce inflammation Support fat loss Enhance recovery But they are meant to amplify effort, not replace it.   Microdosing Changes the Game One of the most powerful strategies discussed is microdosing. Rather than high-dose protocols aimed purely at appetite suppression, strategic lower dosing can: Preserve muscle mass Reduce side effects Improve metabolic flexibility Support long-term sustainability This is particularly important for athletic or active adults who don't want to lose performance while improving body composition.   Injectable > Oral Jay explains why injectable peptides remain the gold standard due to bioavailability and effectiveness. Understanding delivery method matters especially for those investing in advanced health strategies.   The Future of Obesity Treatment We're entering an era where next-generation GLP and triple-agonist peptides are transforming how we address: Insulin resistance Chronic inflammation Fat loss resistance Metabolic disease But access, education, and responsible use are critical and why Jay and I do podcasts like this!   Health Optimization as a Spiritual Practice One of the most compelling parts of the conversation: When you optimize your biology, you elevate your capacity; physically, mentally, and spiritually. Health isn't vanity. It's vitality. It's freedom. It's staying in the game.   Resources From The Show: Jay's Website - https://jaycampbell.com/ Jay's Peptide Company - https://biolongevitylabs.com/ Jay's New Book - Metabolic Awakening with GLP-1 Peptides Dr. J's March 18th, 2026 Workshop: 5:30p PST/7:30p CST (register to get the replay if you can't make it live) - The Art of Staying Your Sport or Hobby and Being Adventure Ready at Any Age    

Your skin is not just a cosmetic surface. It's a living organ that responds to signals, and the right light signal can flip your biology into repair mode. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Get a discount from LYMA by using code ‘DAVE10' at: https://lyma.life/ In this episode, Host Dave Asprey goes to London to meet Lucy Goff, founder of LYMA, at the LYMA headquarters. Lucy and her scientific team engineered a rare kind of at-home cold laser that delivers precise 808nm light with deep penetration, without burning, cutting, or “damaging to rebuild.” Their work is backed by published research in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal, and they've tested gene expression in human dermis, including a reported sixfold increase in SIRT1, a major longevity pathway. This is why you can trust this conversation. It's not vibes, it's engineering, biology, and data. Most “red light” products are basically glorified LEDs. They can be fine for the surface, but they do not deliver the kind of coherent, polarized, monochromatic light that your cells actually respond to in deep tissue. That matters because your mitochondria run the whole show. When mitochondria get a clean signal and more usable energy, your body suddenly has budget for repair, collagen, circulation, and recovery. That is the real mechanism behind anti-aging that does not rely on controlled injury. We get into how this kind of light hacking can change skin quality, muscle support under the skin, and even scars and fascia. We talk cartilage, knees, jowls, pigmentation, and the weird reality that you might not feel anything while it's working. Dave also shares his early biohacking experiments using light for brain optimization, including the time he overdid it and temporarily scrambled his speech. That story will make you respect the power of light as a biological tool. We also talk human performance and travel. Dave breaks down how he uses light management for sleep optimization and jet lag, and why controlling light is as important as controlling food, fasting, ketosis, and metabolism. There's also a practical angle here that most people miss: with AI, you can now take dense PubMed research and translate it into usable decisions without needing a PhD, which changes how fast you can learn, test, and personalize. If you care about longevity, neuroplasticity, recovery, and looking younger without trashing your tissue, this episode gives you a smarter way to think about lasers, supplements, nootropics, and the whole functional medicine stack. This is Smarter Not Harder biohacking, with a laser. You'll Learn: • Why LED “red light therapy” is not the same as laser-based mitochondrial activation • How coherent light influences mitochondria, collagen quality, and anti-aging repair • What gene expression changes like SIRT1 suggest about longevity signaling • How light may support brain optimization, circulation, and neuroplasticity • Why scars and fascia can disrupt performance, and how light can support remodeling • How Dave uses light and lifestyle hacking for sleep optimization, travel, and metabolism • How AI makes research-driven biohacking more accessible and more personal Thank you to our sponsors! • • • • Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

Most people try to fix brain fog and focus issues with caffeine or nootropics, but those approaches only mask the problem.This video explains that brain fog begins when the brain's energy system—its mitochondria—starts to fail, long before any obvious signs of aging appear.Modern stress, poor sleep, artificial light, toxins, and blood sugar swings quietly drain this energy and reduce the brain's ability to repair itself.It then explains how methylene blue, a well-studied compound with a long medical history, works inside brain cells to improve energy production, protect neurons, and support lasting clarity when used correctly and safely.Thank you to our sponsors!

This episode covers: • Microplastics Are Destroying Male Fertility and Metabolism New research is putting microplastics in a category most men still are not taking seriously: direct reproductive and hormone risk. A 2024 study detected microplastics in every human testicle examined, with polyethylene and PVC among the most common polymers. PVC is especially relevant because it's often tied to chemical additives that can disrupt endocrine signaling. The broader body of evidence points to micro- and nanoplastics crossing barriers like the blood–testis barrier, driving inflammation and oxidative stress in the testes, and showing associations with impaired sperm quality and hormone disruption. The longevity move here is reducing overall load: better water filtration, less plastic food contact, no heating food in plastic, fewer packaged foods, and taking indoor dust and air quality seriously, especially for men thinking about fertility now or hormone resilience over decades. • Sources: – Study (PubMed): https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38745431/ – Coverage: https://people.com/microplastics-in-every-human-testicle-infertility-8651215 • Fear of Aging Is Linked to Faster Biological Aging A new study ties aging anxiety to measurable acceleration in biological aging using DNA methylation clocks. People who reported more worry and negative beliefs about aging showed faster epigenetic aging signals, and the molecular differences clustered around stress and inflammatory pathways. In plain terms, chronic threat-mode thinking around aging maps onto biology that looks older on the clocks. For a longevity audience, this is a practical reminder that mental inputs affect physiological outputs. If your day-to-day mindset is constant pressure and decline narratives, that can show up downstream in stress biology and inflammatory tone. A smarter play is building a longevity framework around function, strength, purpose, and community, alongside the usual pillars like sleep, training, and metabolic health. • Source: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-02-older-links-health-faster-epigenetic.html • Additional source: https://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2026/february/aging-anxiety.html • Retatrutide, the Triple-Agonist Weight-Loss Drug Pushing Bariatric-Level Results Retatrutide is a triple agonist that targets GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon receptors, and the weight-loss numbers being reported are massive. In a 68-week study in people with obesity and knee osteoarthritis, the highest dose group averaged about 28.7% body-weight loss, along with meaningful improvements in knee pain and function. This is the next phase of incretin medicine: multi-agonist drugs that can move body weight by a quarter or more. For biohackers, the performance and longevity angle is implementation: preserving lean mass through resistance training, hitting protein targets, monitoring micronutrients, and building a maintenance plan that doesn't collapse the moment the drug stops. The upside is cardiometabolic risk reduction at scale. The key is running it with structure. • Sources: – Eli Lilly release: https://investor.lilly.com/news-releases/news-release-details/lillys-triple-agonist-retatrutide-delivered-weight-loss-average – Coverage: https://nypost.com/2026/02/18/health/people-dropped-out-of-retatrutide-trial-for-losing-too-much-weight/ – Background: https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2026/02/whats-next-for-glp-1s/ • AI Can Predict 130 Diseases From a Single Night of Sleep Stanford's SleepFM project shows how much long-horizon health information is encoded in sleep. Researchers trained a foundation model on roughly 585,000 hours of clinical polysomnography data from about 65,000 people. From a single night of sleep study signals, the model could estimate risk for 130 conditions, including dementia, heart attack, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, stroke, atrial fibrillation, and all-cause mortality, and it generalized across cohorts better than simple demographic baselines. The big implication is that sleep architecture and micro-patterns (stage distribution, fragmentation, breathing stability, micro-arousals) function like a dense biomarker stream for systemic aging and disease risk. Expect better sensors and more validated risk dashboards over time. Right now, this is another reason to treat sleep as a core diagnostic pillar, not just a recovery habit. • Sources: – Stanford Medicine: https://med.stanford.edu/news/all-news/2026/01/ai-sleep-disease.html – Paper (Nature Medicine): https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-025-04133-4 • Living at High Altitude May Protect Against Diabetes by Turning Red Blood Cells Into Glucose Sinks For years, population data has suggested lower diabetes rates at higher elevations. New mechanistic work is pointing to a surprising driver: red blood cells changing how they handle glucose under low oxygen conditions. In hypoxia, red blood cells can behave like glucose sinks, pulling more sugar out of circulation and improving glucose tolerance, which may help explain the protective association seen at altitude. The downstream potential is a new class of altitude-mimetic approaches that target erythrocyte metabolism as a glucose lever, separate from appetite suppression or classic diabetes pathways. For biohackers, it expands the metabolic toolkit and reinforces that oxygen environment and blood physiology matter more than we've given them credit for. • Source: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2026-02-red-blood-cells-sugar-high.html • Dietary Supplement Regulatory Uniformity Act and the Future of Supplement Access A proposed bill is aiming to stop states from layering extra rules on dietary supplements beyond federal law, creating one national standard instead of a patchwork of state-by-state restrictions. Industry groups are supporting it as a way to reduce confusion and compliance chaos, especially as some states explore age limits or special labeling requirements for certain supplement categories. The strategic implication for biohackers is that regulation shapes access. Uniformity can stabilize availability, but it also raises the stakes of federal decisions on controversial ingredients. This is one of those policy stories that quietly determines what stays on shelves, what disappears, and how much innovation survives in the supplement space. • Sources: – NutritionInsight: https://www.nutritioninsight.com/news/npa-crn-supplements-us-fda-legislation.html – Congressional release: https://langworthy.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-langworthy-introduces-dietary-supplement-regulatory-uniformity-act – NutraIngredients: https://www.nutraingredients.com/Article/2026/02/05/new-bill-aims-to-end-state-supplement-regulations/ All source links are provided for direct access to the original reporting and research.

Your gray hair, thinning lashes, brain fog, and that low energy feeling after 30 might all trace back to one thing: falling NAD and stressed mitochondria. This episode breaks down what actually happens inside your cells as NAD declines, and what you can do about it using specific compounds from mushrooms, olive oil, and even chocolate. -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR -Subscribe and save $15 on Wonderfeel by going to: https://getwonderfeel.com/product/wonderfeel-youngr-nmn/?utm_source=Dave&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=episode2Host Dave Asprey sits down with Baran Dilaver, CEO and co-founder of Wonderfeel Biosciences, to unpack the real science behind NAD, mitochondrial energy, and long-term longevity. Baran is an entrepreneur and inventor who previously led multiple start-ups as CEO and COO, collaborated with leading scientists and medical experts, and developed award-winning products. A UC Berkeley economics graduate and former scholarship athlete, he now focuses on translating cutting-edge bioscience into practical tools that enhance people's lives. They break down how NAD powers mitochondria, why your body strategically allocates cellular energy away from peak cognitive performance as you age, and how stress accelerates that decline. You'll hear the differences between niacinamide, NR, and NMN, the FDA confusion around NMN, and why raising NAD is about cellular repair, resilience, and metabolic function, not just “more energy.” The conversation goes deep on hydroxytyrosol, the powerful olive oil polyphenol that acts as a CD38 inhibitor, and ergothioneine, a mushroom-derived antioxidant with its own receptor in the human body that can accumulate in damaged tissues. Baran shares the origin story that pushed him to research ergothioneine, along with anecdotal observations from long-term users reporting improvements in sleep, focus, energy, thicker hair, reduced gray hair, and even eyelash regrowth. You'll also hear Dave's practical take on ketosis, fasting, supplements, and metabolism, why he prefers NAD precursors over IV NAD for most people, how methyl donors affect NAD IV tolerance, and why Wonderfeelbuilt a creatine chocolate bar sweetened with allulose to stay keto-friendly and diabetic-friendly. This is biohacking grounded in mechanism, from mitochondria and neuroplasticity to anti-aging strategy and smarter supplementation. You'll Learn: • What NAD does in the body and why oral NAD itself is not effective • How niacinamide, NR, and NMN compare as NAD precursors • Why mitochondria control energy allocation, cognition, and resilience • How hydroxytyrosol may support NAD longevity through CD38 inhibition • What ergothioneine is, why it comes from mushrooms, and why the body has a receptor for it • What long-term users commonly report: better sleep, clearer thinking, stronger energy, and cosmetic shifts • Why Dave prefers supplements over NAD IVs in most cases • How allulose differs from other sweeteners and why it matters for metabolism • Why creatine supports brain energy and how heat changes absorption strategy Thank you to our sponsors! • MASA Chips | Go to https://www.masachips.com/DAVEASPREY and use code DAVEASPREY for 25% off your first order • Branch Basics | Get 15% off at https://branchbasics.com/DAVE15 with code DAVE15 • Timeline | Go to timeline.com/Dave for 20% off• OneSkin | Try OneSkin at https://www.oneskin.co/DAVE and use code DAVE for 15% off Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.
