Most people track glucose or ketones, but almost no one is measuring the hidden signal that could be silently wrecking your metabolism, brain function, and longevity: uric acid. This episode reveals why this overlooked biomarker drives obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, and even accelerated aging—and how you can hack it to unlock resilience, human performance, and smarter not harder health upgrades. Watch the podcast on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR We revisit host Dave Asprey sitting down with Dr. David Perlmutter, one of the world's leading functional medicine neurologists and the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Grain Brain and Drop Acid. Dr. Perlmutter has spent decades connecting gut health, brain optimization, and neuroplasticity with lifestyle interventions that truly change the trajectory of disease. In this conversation, he explains how uric acid acts as a metabolic switch that determines whether you burn fat or store it, whether your mitochondria power you up or slow you down, and whether your brain stays sharp or declines with age. They break down how fructose, purines, alcohol, and even dehydration spike uric acid, why Japan is decades ahead in using this as a health marker, and how supplements like quercetin and luteolin rival pharmaceuticals in keeping it under control. You'll also learn how ketosis, fasting, cold therapy, carnivore and plant-based approaches, and sleep optimization all interact with uric acid to shape your healthspan. This is biohacking at its most actionable—because once you measure this signal, you can control it, and once you control it, you radically upgrade your metabolism, your brain, and your longevity. This is essential listening for anyone serious about hacking their biology, building neuroplasticity, powering up mitochondria, exploring nootropics, and discovering smarter not harder ways to live longer and perform better. You'll Learn: • Why uric acid may be the most important overlooked biomarker for longevity • How it connects obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer's • The evolutionary reason your body uses uric acid as a survival signal • How fructose and hidden sugars sabotage metabolism and brain optimization • The role of quercetin, luteolin, and targeted supplements in lowering uric acid • Why measuring at home with a simple device can change your health trajectory • How functional medicine uses uric acid as a predictive tool for chronic disease Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind. Each episode features cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, hacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living. Episodes are released every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (audio-only) where Dave asks the questions no one else dares, and brings you real tools to become more resilient, aware, and high performing.

Study Challenges the Link Between Aging and Chronic Inflammation An uptick in chronic inflammation has long been seen as an inevitable result of getting older, a phenomenon known as “inflammaging.” But a fascinating new study suggests that the type of inflammation linked to chronic disease may have more to do with industrialized lifestyles than with aging.

Grandpa Bill's Brain Fuel: The Top Supplements Dr. Amen Recommends for a Healthier MindGrandpa Bill here. For the past few days, we've been on a mission to improve our brain health. We've talked about a great workout for the mind, but today, we're going to dive into what to feed it. Dr. Daniel Amen, a man who has looked at more brain scans than almost anyone, teaches us that you can't have a healthy mind without the right fuel. So, let's talk about his top supplement suggestions—the brain-boosting heroes you might want to add to your daily routine.Remember, always talk to your doctor before starting any new supplement. They're your co-pilot on this journey.If you think of your brain as a house, Omega-3s (like DHA and EPA) are the high-quality lumber. They are a core component of your brain cell membranes. Dr. Amen considers them foundational for memory, mood, and overall brain structure.This trio of B vitamins works together to create energy in the brain. They also help clear away a substance that can be harmful to our blood vessels, keeping the pathways clear for good blood flow. Think of them as the team that keeps the lights on in your mind, ensuring your brain has the juice to function optimally.Choline is a key nutrient your body uses to create a messenger for memory called acetylcholine. Having enough choline is like having a reliable mail carrier—it helps ensure that your memory messages get delivered quickly and accurately.You might think these are just for your stomach, but your gut is often called your "second brain." The healthy bacteria in your gut send signals to your mind that can help manage stress and anxiety. A happy gut often means a happier brain!Dr. Amen points to mushrooms like Cordyceps and Reishi. These are known as "adaptogens," meaning they help your body and brain handle stress more effectively. They don't create a buzz; they train your brain to be more resilient, like a personal trainer building strength.These are powerful compounds that fight inflammation throughout your body, including your brain. Inflammation can harm brain cells over time, so Curcumin and Quercetin act like a cleanup crew, reducing swelling and protecting your mind from damage.This one is crucial for everyone! Vitamin D is vital for mood and overall brain health. Studies show that a lack of Vitamin D is common and can be tied to feelings of sadness. Getting enough of this "sunshine vitamin" can make a world of difference.Rounding out the list, Saffron is a great mood booster, while Ginkgo Biloba helps promote healthy blood flow to the brain.So, there you have it, folks. By giving your brain the right fuel, you're not just taking supplements; you're building a healthier, happier you from the inside out.Keep that body and mind moving!1. Omega-3s (The Brain's Building Blocks)2. B12, B6 & Folate (The Power Plant)3. Choline (The Memory Messenger)4. Probiotics (The Gut-Brain Connection)5. "Smart Mushrooms" (Resilience Trainers)6.

Send us a textThe appendix's hidden role and how "good" parasites like helminths shape immune health.Episode Summary: Dr. William Parker discusses gut anatomy, the appendix's role in harboring beneficial bacterial biofilms and immune tissue, and how modern hygiene depletes helminths (intestinal worms), causing immune overreactions like allergies, autoimmunity, and psychiatric conditions. He explores helminth self-therapy for treating relapsing MS, depression, and allergies; challenges in clinical trials due to patent issues; and why COVID-19 was milder in low-income, helminth-rich regions.About the guest: William Parker, PhD conducted research at Duke University for over 27 years on immunology, appendicitis, and the hygiene hypothesis. After retiring from Duke, he serves as a visiting scholar at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, leading efforts on biome reconstitution via helminths.Discussion Points:Appendix is not vestigial; it concentrates immune tissue and biofilms to cultivate good gut bacteria, preventing pathogens via mucus and IgA antibodies.Hygiene hypothesis: Soap, toilets, and clean water reduce helminths/protozoa, leading to untrained, hyperactive immunity and rising allergies/autoimmunity since the 1800s.Helminths (worms) stimulate immune "exercise," training immunity; biohackers use hookworms (cheap, skin-entry), porcine whipworms, or rat tapeworms orally for relief from allergies, MS flares, depression/anxiety.Effects are temporary; need ongoing exposure (e.g., replenish every 6 months); immigrants from helminth-rich areas develop Western diseases within a few years.COVID-19: Hyper-immunity caused severe reactions in hygienic West, but helminth presence in low-income Africa/Asia prevented cytokine storms, leading to empty clinics.Therapy barriers: Non-patentable organisms require $100M+ trials; push for open-source, government-funded biome restoration over crude immunosuppressants.Related episode:M&M 144: Inflammation, Innate Immunity, Allergies & Allergens, Immune System Evolution, Fasting & Metabolism | Clare Bryant*Not medical advice.Support the showAffiliates: Seed Oil Scout: Find restaurants with seed oil-free options, scan food products to see what they're hiding, with this easy-to-use mobile app. KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + electrolytes formulated for kidney health.

Are distractions silently running your life? Maybe you're too busy to notice they are!   In Part 2 of the four-part Distraction Detox workshop series, Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast host, Jamie Belz, takes you beyond awareness into action—showing how your physical space and digital environment directly shape your focus, stress, energy, and - most importantly - your health.   Last week we tracked our biggest “time leaks.” This week, Jamie shares her own discoveries—how constant family interruptions, endless email and Slack checks, and online shopping spirals were draining her focus and fueling stress. With humor and honesty, she unpacks how clutter—whether in your kitchen, car, or inbox—isn't just about aesthetics or productivity. Research shows disorganized environments trigger higher cortisol, unstable blood sugar, poor sleep, digestive issues, slower healing, and overall - poorer health outcomes.   You'll learn:   Why environment is the “invisible hand” that shapes your daily habits (James Clear, Atomic Habits). How over-analysis paralysis keeps us stuck—and how Jamie used her “backpack boundary” strategy as an effective tool to reclaim time and sanity. The surprising ways visual clutter, digital chaos, and constant notifications keep your brain in survival mode - driving cortisol with each micro-stressor thing and ping. How your surroundings influence the Foundations of Health—digestion, blood sugar regulation, nutrient-dense diet, sleep, stress, and movement.   If you've been feeling stuck, scattered, or stressed, this episode will help you take the first step in the direction of unstuck, un-scattered, and de-stressed—equipping you with a simple but powerful framework to start turning your environment into an ally instead of an enemy.   And yes, there's a brand-new Distraction Detox challenge waiting for you at the end of this episode—one that will help you reclaim calm, restore focus, and set the stage for deeper transformation in the weeks ahead.   This episode can stand alone, but if you haven't listened to the prior, complimentary episodes, go back to: Episode 55: Distraction Detox 1 of 4 - Dizzy-Busy and Dying Inside Episode 52: The Hidden Health Cost of Distraction (and How to Fight Back) - The deep dive on health impact episode.
