Today, I'm back for part 2 of my conversation with Dave Asprey. In this episode, we get into the controversial health practices and daily routines that have transformed his health and energy. Dave reveals his complete daily protocol, including cold plunges, infrared saunas, and the shocking revelation that he takes 150 supplements daily. He challenges conventional wisdom about exercise ("it doesn't make you lose weight"), nutrition ("vegan diets were my biggest mistake"), and controversial testosterone optimization protocols that he's followed since age 26. Dave Asprey is the founder of nine companies, including Bulletproof, Danger Coffee, TrueDark, and Upgrade Labs. He's authored bestselling books including "The Bulletproof Diet," "Head Strong," and his newest release, "Heavily Meditated." Dave is credited with creating three unique billion-dollar markets: MCT Oil, Collagen Protein, and Functional Coffee.  What We Discuss: needs updated when audio is done (01:01:08) Facing Trauma as an Entrepreneur (01:09:30) Identifying and Managing Toxic Personalities (01:19:46) Sleep, Biohacking, and Longevity Insights (01:29:43) Retraining the Brain for Neurotypical Function (01:35:20) Alzheimer's and Cognitive Enhancement Solutions (01:46:01) Debating Vaccines and Health Choices (01:55:41) Optimizing Longevity With Biohacking Supplements …and more!

In this episode, Sachin interviews Dave Asprey, a speaker, best-selling author, and biohacking entrepreneur, by video from Costa Rica. Dave shares some of his experiences, including the health challenges that enabled him to invent biohacking to improve his health. Dave discusses states of consciousness, tools for biohacking, tech entrepreneurship, the importance of mentors, how he deals with personal attacks from trolls, and how he has achieved greater equanimity in the face of stress and triggering events. Dave shares hacks he learned that he wrote into his books. Listen in for many more hacks you can use for better health.   Key Takeaways: [1:03] Sachin welcomes everyone and introduces the guest, Dave Asprey, who speaks on being an entrepreneur. Dave is a long-time entrepreneur and a best-selling author. His newest book is Smarter Not Harder. Sachin recommends you read it. Dave will talk about his experiences and how he can help your functional medicine or holistic health coaching practice.   [1:59] Dave joins the podcast from Costa Rica. Sachin thanks him for joining us. Dave is passionate about helping people feel and do their best. Dave is known as the Father of Biohacking. His definition of biohacking is the art and science of changing the environment around and inside you for full control of your biology.   [2:55] The definition is still basically the same but the domains of the environment around you that you can change are constantly expanding. Some of the biohacks that have the broadest impact are at the cellular level. When your cells start to work better, your capacity for consciousness starts to improve. You have more bandwidth to access hidden parts of reality.   [4:02] Dave speaks of the hidden parts of reality and non-ordinary states of consciousness reached through neurofeedback and breathwork and having science-based and consciousness-based techniques that allow us to access altered states of high performance, including healing, relationships, and feeling inner peace and compassion.   [4:54] The set of tools for biohacking is ever-expanding.   [5:40] Writing didn't come naturally to Dave. He is a computer coder by training so he knows how to group things logically. He held Google's first servers when Google was two guys with two computers. He co-founded the Professional Services Group there. He was part of building Salesforce's architecture when Salesforce had eight employees.   [6:09] Early-stage work requires structured thinking and the ability to teach new knowledge. For five years, Dave ran a program at the University of California starting each day in a tech startup and then teaching working engineers in Silicon Valley for two and a half hours how to build the internet and cloud computing. After dinner, he studied trade journals and wrote his next class.   [6:44] It was stressful, but Dave learned to assimilate information rapidly, translate it, and make it teachable. That made him one of the most powerful people in his company. Teaching is the best way to learn something. If you're not going to teach, write a book as if you were teaching. When Dave writes, he asks how he would teach it. That forces him to structure his thoughts.   [7:35] Dave is good at building the skeleton of a book and at putting the outer skin on it. The part of writing he doesn't enjoy is putting the muscles on the skeleton, so he works with a writing partner to flesh it out before putting on the finishing skin.   [8:37] Dave's first book, The Bulletproof Diet, had managed to break onto The New York Times list. He talks about the tech he used to achieve altered states of consciousness so he could write. The tech and coffee got him into a flow state quickly.   [10:04] Sachin advises opening Smarter Not Harder and finding something to quote on social media, giving Dave credit. Teaching knowledge is the best way to learn it. Dave's goal as an author is to say something that hasn't been said. He writes books to be launching points for things you haven't seen somewhere. Quote something from the book and add your nuance to it.   [11:48] Sachin adds, nuance it to your audience.   [12:34] Dave mentions WIFY, What's In it For You (your client)? Create content not for yourself but for your audience. Put yourself in your audience's mindset. What is the goal of your audience? How do you make what you have to share relevant and useful for them? Dave credits Joe Polish for WIFY.   [14:21] In Dave's early 20s, he was running a portion of the IT for a hospital. It was taking him a lot of time to manage their eight servers that did most of the work. He considered how to automate his job to free up time to learn more about tech. That was the thinking that led to the early days of cloud computing.   [15:00] Dave says with confidence that the first shipping modern cloud computing was his product. It shipped one day before Marc Andreessen shipped Loudcloud. There were probably 1,000 people in Silicon Valley all working on the same concept. It was driven by laziness. We all have a deep shame for being lazy. Dave explains how laziness is biologically built into us.   [17:27] Dave wants to have his cake and eat it, too, and says that's normal and healthy; just find a way to do it. That will motivate you more than the hope of being efficient. Dave wants “epic,” not efficient. He tells how to motivate yourself to exercise for eight minutes.   [20:21] Dave has set up the world's first biohacking facility, Upgrade Labs, in Santa Monica, California. Thousands of people have come through it. Dave is franchising it across the country with dozens of labs opening soon. You can go to ownanupgradelabs.com to get a franchise of a business that is profitable and makes a huge difference to the people who go there.   [21:06] Dave could write his book because after thousands of people have come through his biohacking facility, he had enough data on five big domains people are asking about.   [22:04] Dave is on 25 or 30 advisory boards and he has a portfolio of biohacking companies he has invested in. He does a lot of advising work for equity so he often has the conversation on where entrepreneurs waste their time. Many entrepreneurs are looking to prove they are good enough. There's a great deal of shame-based behavior. Many were bullied in school.   [23:12] Instead of running away from their past, what if entrepreneurs figured out what they are moving toward that's worthy? That is so much more motivating than running away. That's working smarter, not harder. Work hard when you need to, but there's no correlation between working hard and success. You're not here to be a better worker.   [25:10] When you read Smarter not Harder, figure out what you want. What matters to you? What problem are you going to solve? How do you want to be? This requires freedom of energy and freedom of time. If you're working hard, you have neither one. This book says, let's give you five to ten hours a week back, and let's double your energy and let's see what's possible.   [26:52] Dave's advice for people under 35: spend time with old people, your elders. These are people who've already had to solve all the problems you're trying to solve. You could try to do it all by yourself, but you could get help from others. Dave talks of the many health challenges he experienced in his early 20s that enabled him to create the biohacking movement.   [28:17] Dave ate salads and exercised 90 minutes a day, six days a week, but didn't lose weight. He still weighed 297 pounds. He realized it wasn't working even though he did everything he was supposed to do. Smarter Not Harder is his revenge for those lost 702 hours. He then listened to orthomolecular physicians, now known as functional medicine practitioners.   [31:26] Dave started working with the Silicon Valley Health Institute and became chairman and president of it when he was 30 and was the only guy under 50 in the room. He applied a strategy of finding mentors in business and following leaders who lived by different rules. In a tech company, a VP of Strategy taught Dave how to navigate the halls of power.   [33:16] Go to the elders and ask them how they dealt with marriage. Ask them what they learned. They all know and they want to tell you. He tells of mentoring he received from Ken Crittendon, who had in turn been mentored by Jack Welch. Joe Polish was another mentor. They want to help you and they're not transactional about it. Dave lists more mentors.   [35:22] When you are mentored, let the mentor know that you followed their advice and it helped you. They will be more inclined to continue to mentor you. As an advisor, Dave wants equity in the company as skin in the game. It gives the advice more weight when the company has paid something for it. Free advice, even when it's great, is not often followed.   [36:12] Sachin says, if you pay, you pay attention. Sachin gets excited when he gets feedback from someone who applied his advice successfully.   [38:00] Dave tells of a “wantrepreneur” who made a knock-off of the oil for Bulletproof Coffee that didn't work because it was the wrong formula. He says some narcissists and sociopaths want to steal your idea, make it cheaply, and claim credit for the original. Dave calls it the race to cheat instead of the race for results.   [41:08] Sachin wants you to know that Dave is the real deal and his recommendations are for things that he has done. Dave also endorses Sachin as one of the genuine helpers. There are helpful souls in the entrepreneurial health community. Dave cites Daniel Amen and David Perlmutter as people always willing to help. Some people will try to take advantage of helpers.   [42:48] David tells how good people help each other to win. People pretending to be good don't do good for others. They want you to lose if it benefits them. You need discernment to see when someone wants to take advantage of you to their benefit and your harm. The more successful you are, the more those people are attracted to you. Your discernment is visceral.   [46:57] Dave tells about appearing on the Joe Rogan show three times. At first, Joe Rogan was very complimentary and grateful for Dave's product that changed his life but when his friend was trying to steal the name Bulletproof, Rogan and his “death squad” became accusatory and defamatory in an 18-month-long online attack. It was very hard on Dave.   [48:45] Dave wondered why that was a trigger for him. On self-reflection, Dave saw that his trigger was around injustice. Most children experience it. Dave cleared the rage of injustice using the reset process in his book. He also saw that every time Joe Rogan attacked him, his coffee sales went up. When Joe Rogan moved to Spotify, he deleted the episodes with Dave.   [50:28] Dave thanks Joe because the concentrated attacks Dave endured on his media highlighted some important things. It takes a bully a minute or two to come up with an attack on you. It takes you half a second to click “delete.” You have a moral obligation to keep your environment clean for the people you serve. People who attack are kicked off. Dialog is fine.   [52:08] Dave and his clients are united in the goal to be healthy, have a better planet, and reduce animal cruelty. People who attack are blocked. Narcissists looking for attention and conflict are blocked. Sometimes Dave will use humor to defuse tyranny. He shares examples.   [56:21] Dave's newest coffee brand is called Danger Coffee. He explains how he is dangerous to trolls, but they pose no danger to him. They drive up his metrics.   [58:08] Dave got pulled over a while ago. He showed so much grounded love to the police officer that the officer asked if they could shake hands. Treat people as individuals trying to do their best.   [59:14] Dave reveals how he reacts to aggressive drivers without resorting to road rage. He tells that the other driver has a bowel emergency and has to get home. Don't be programmable by another person's behavior. What you are going to do is what you choose to do. When we have our full power, what we will choose to do is to support other humans and the planet.   [1:01:10] Rapid-fire round of questions from attendees: If you could choose one biohack to incorporate for the next 30 days, what would it be? Read Smarter Not Harder, because to answer that question you need to know your goal. Dave lists the Five Big Goals people want. Prioritize them. Dave and Sachin share supplement notes for health. Einstein said that the future of medicine is frequencies. What do you think about vibrational frequencies as modalities for healing? Don't look to Einstein for health advice. Dave recommends Nikola Tesla and Royal Rife. They were using frequencies for healing almost 100 years ago. Go to 40yearsof zen.com for Dave's brain upgrade program. Your body talks in frequencies of sound, light, and electromagnetics. More about light frequencies What is Brain Tap? BrainTap is a Biohacking Conference sponsor. It uses lights and sounds to lead a person quickly into a meditative state. Have you heard of Medbed? It is one of 30 or 40 brands of light beds that expose the body to light frequencies for healing. Dave talks about using lasers for healing. AI is helping to accelerate the world of biohacking. There is still much to study about light frequencies. What are the top free longevity hacks? What are the top longevity hacks to invest in? Read Superhuman, Dave's book on anti-aging. He goes through dozens of things shown in studies to extend the lifespan of mammals. The top thing is to learn how to get better (not more) sleep. Go to Sleepwithdave.com for a free sleep hack. Skip breakfast and don't eat after the sun goes down. Eat some animal protein.   [1:15:06] Dave has had many stem-cell treatments. That's a very expensive thing you can do. Use TrueDark sleep glasses. Wearing them puts your brain in a meditative state. Using them for an hour before bed, Dave does not get jet lag anywhere on the planet. He gets better sleep.   [1:16:13] Sachin thanks Dave for appearing from Costa Rica. Sachin recommends Dave's book Smarter Not Harder.   [1:17:15] Dave thanks Sachin as one of the people working for the betterment of the world and he genuinely appreciates that. People genuinely want to help you succeed. If you ask for help, you'll get it. Dave talks about his tech contemporary, Marc Andreessen, who sought a mentor's help and is a multi-billionaire. Dave wanted to do it himself and is not a multi-billionaire.   Mentioned in this episode Perfect Practice Live Dave Asprey Smarter Not Harder: The Biohacker's Guide to Getting the Body and Mind You Want The Bulletproof Diet: Lose Up to a Pound a Day, Reclaim Energy and Focus, Upgrade Your Life Upgrade Labs Ownanupgradelabs.com 40 Years of Zen Joe Polish Loudcloud (Now part of HP)Silicon Valley Health Institute The 48 Laws of Power, by Robert Greene The Laws of Human Nature, by Robert Greene Genius Network Daniel Amen David Perlmutter Joe Rogan Danger Coffee VitaminDAKE.com Nikola Tesla Royal Rife BiohackingConference.com BrainTap Super Human: The Bulletproof Plan to Age Backward and Maybe Even Live Forever, by Dave Asprey Sleepwithdave.com TrueDark sleep glasses   More about your host Sachin Patel How to speak with Sachin Go one step further and Become The Living Proof Perfect Practice Live sachin@becomeproof.com To set up a practice clarity call and opportunity audit   Books by Sachin Patel: Perfect Practice: How to Build a Successful Functional Medical Business, Attract Your Ideal Patients, Serve Your Community, and Get Paid What You're Worth The Motivation Molecule: The Biological Secrets To Eliminate Procrastination, Skyrocket Productivity, and Get Sh!t Done

The Harmful Effects of Weedkiller (Glyphosate) On Our Health And Our Future | This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, BiOptimizers, and TrueDarkThe statistics on glyphosate, the world's most commonly used pesticide, are pretty grim. Billions of pounds have been applied globally since the 70s. In the US, though we're only 4% of the world's population, we use 20% of the world's supply annually. Then, we wonder why our rates of chronic disease are so much higher than other countries. The evidence against the use of glyphosate keeps mounting, yet it's still legally drenching our food supply. I try to be as good as I can about eating organic, high-quality food, and my glyphosate test revealed I was still in the 50th percentile. Studies have linked glyphosate to cancer, endocrine disruption, infertility, immune dysfunction, liver and kidney damage, and disruption of the microbiome. And not only is glyphosate harming human health and the health of our future generations, it's also destroying our ecosystems. Today on The Doctor's Farmacy I dive into all-things glyphosate with Stephanie Seneff. Stephanie Seneff is a Senior Research Scientist at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Cambridge, Massachusetts. She has a bachelor's degree from MIT in Biology with a minor in Food and Nutrition Science, and a master's degree, an engineer's degree, and a PhD degree, all from MIT, in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Her recent interests have focused on the role of toxic chemicals and micronutrient deficiencies in health and disease, with a special emphasis on the pervasive herbicide, glyphosate, and the mineral, sulfur. Since 2008, she has authored over three dozen peer-reviewed journal papers on these topics. She is the author of a new book on glyphosate titled Toxic Legacy: How the Weedkiller Glyphosate is Destroying Our Health and the Environment (July 2021).This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, BiOptimizers, and TrueDark.Rupa Health is a place for Functional Medicine practitioners to access more than 2,000 specialty lab tests from over 20 labs like DUTCH, Vibrant America, Genova, Great Plains, and more.

How The Most Important Superfood You've Never Heard About Will Rejuvenate Your Immune System | This episode is brought to you by Thrive Market, TrueDark, and UqoraIt seems like everywhere we look these days, there's chronic disease. Our bodies are extremely intelligent, so why are they acting so dumb and having so many dysfunctions? Using the lens of Functional Medicine, we can see that a disease is so much more than its location. With inflammation smoldering throughout the body in many people, we need to zero in on the immune system, how it's functioning, and what factors are negatively impacting it. We're in an exciting time for research in this area, as we continue to learn how to fix the problems behind an aging immune system. There's no better person to talk to about this topic than the one and only Dr. Jeff Bland. Dr. Bland is the founder of Big Bold Health, a company on a mission to transform the way people think about one of nature's greatest innovations—the immune system. Through Big Bold Health, Jeff is advocating for the power of immuno-rejuvenation to enhance immunity at a global level, often through the rediscovery of ancient food crops and superfoods. To get there, Jeff is building a network of small farms and suppliers throughout the US that take a clear stance on regenerative agriculture, environmental stewardship, and planetary health. Jeff's career in health spans more than 40 years. A nutritional biochemist by training, he began in academia as a university professor. Jeff then spent three decades in the natural products industry, working alongside other pioneers.This episode is brought to you by Thrive Market, TrueDark, and Uqora.Thrive Market is offering all Doctor's Farmacy listeners an extra 25% off your first purchase and a free gift when you sign up for Thrive Market.

The Future Of Medicine: Precision And Personalization | This episode is brought to you by TrueDark, BiOptimizers, and HigherDOSEIt's an exciting time to be in medicine, as we watch technological advances completely change the way we understand the body. There are revolutions happening on multiple levels: the “omics” revolution that looks at the interactions of the genome, microbiome, metabolome, transcriptome, and more; the digitization of data that involves tracking our biology through things like the Oura ring or a continuous glucose monitor; and the systems biology medicine movement that is reframing the way we look at preventing disease and healing the body at the root. I was excited to sit down with Dr. Daniel Kraft to talk about a different vision that will integrate this type of information into the future of healthcare. Dr. Kraft is a Stanford and Harvard-trained physician-scientist, inventor, and entrepreneur. He is currently serving as the Chair of the XPRIZE Pandemic Alliance Task Force.

Understanding How The Microbiome Affects Every Aspect Of Your Health | This episode is brought to you by Joovv, ButcherBox, and TrueDarkThere's a foundational piece of Functional Medicine that I find surprises many conventional health practitioners: it's that the health of our gut impacts every other part of the body—even the brain. There are several reasons for this. When working correctly, our gut digests our food and absorbs nutrients so we can have energy and vitality. It eliminates toxins and fights pathogens. It's also the home of trillions of microorganisms that aid in these processes and do so much more, like manage inflammation and produce neurotransmitters.I was excited to talk to Dr. Emeran Mayer on this episode of The Doctor's Farmacy, all about nurturing the microbiome to support whole-body health and fight the epidemic of chronic disease. Dr. Emeran Mayer is the author of the recently released book The Gut-Immune Connection as well as The Mind-Gut Connection. He has studied brain-body interactions for the last forty years and is the executive director of the G. Oppenheimer Center for Neurobiology of Stress and Resilience, and the founding director of the UCLA Brain Gut Microbiome Center at the University of California at Los Angeles. His research has been supported by the National Institutes of Health for the past twenty-five years, and he is considered a pioneer and world leader in the area of brain-gut microbiome interactions and its clinical implications.This episode is brought to you by Joovv, ButcherBox, and TrueDark.When you sign up to ButcherBox, you'll get 2 lbs of wild-caught Alaskan salmon free in your first box plus $10 off.

What Our Kids Don’t Learn In School Is The Key To Their Success And Happiness | This episode is brought to you by TrueDark, BiOptimizers, and TushyThroughout school, we learn arithmetic, biology, and how to read and write. But we don’t learn how to manage stress, understand our emotions, or connect the feelings in our bodies with the thoughts in our heads. Most of us don’t even really know how to breathe in a way that truly serves us. What if our children could learn these essential life skills early on? That’s the question Goldie Hawn asked herself after meeting kids all over the world and seeing their need for self-regulation. Today, I’m so excited to sit down with her to talk about the program she created and how it’s helped so many children grow into successful, grounded, emotionally intelligent adults. Goldie Hawn is an Academy Award-winning actress, producer, director, best-selling author, and true children’s advocate. She is the Founder of The Goldie Hawn Foundation, a public charity with a mission to equip children with the social and emotional skills they need to lead smarter, healthier, happier, and ultimately more productive lives. Alarmed by increases in school violence, youth depression and suicide, and the persistent failure of the education system to help children cope with increasingly stressful lives, Goldie started The Goldie Hawn Foundation in 2003, applying cutting edge scientific research to create educational programs that support the social and emotional development of children. Working with leading neuroscientists, educators, psychologists, and researchers, the Foundation developed MindUP™ an evidence-based curriculum and teaching model for grades K-12 that provide tools to help children self-regulate and understand their own emotions, reduce stress and anxiety, sharpen concentration, increase empathy, and improve academic performance.This episode is brought to you by TrueDark, BiOptimizers, and Tushy.TrueDark Daylights help prevent eye strain and headaches from overexposure to junk light and TrueDark Twilights collection for nighttime helps you get deeper sleep.

Long-Haul COVID And The Mysteries Of Coronavirus: A Path To Healing | This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens, BiOptimizers, and TrueDarkThe symptoms of COVID-19 are scary enough. What I personally find even more terrifying, is the long-haulers syndrome so many people struggle with months after “recovering” from acute COVID. In many people, lingering symptoms are occurring 6 to 9 months after COVID infection, hence the term long-haulers syndrome. It comes with a slew of symptoms, from fatigue and body aches to difficulty breathing, racing heart, vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, and more. COVID-19 was originally viewed as a respiratory disease but we’ve now gained a new understanding of its impact on our blood vessels and how that affects the entire body. There’s no better person to dig into the vascular nature of COVID with than today’s guest on The Doctor’s Farmacy, Dr. William Li. Dr. William Li is an internationally renowned physician, scientist and author of one of my favorite books, the New York Times bestseller Eat to Beat Disease: The New Science of How Your Body Can Heal Itself. His groundbreaking work has led to the development of more than 30 new medical treatments and impacted care for more than 70 diseases including cancer, diabetes, blindness, heart disease and obesity. His TED Talk, “Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?” has garnered more than 11 million views. Dr. Li has appeared on Good Morning America, CNN, CNBC, Live with Kelly & Ryan and the Dr. Oz Show, and he has been featured in USA Today, Time Magazine, The Atlantic, Parade and O Magazine. He is president and medical director of the Angiogenesis Foundation and is leading research into COVID-19.This episode is brought to you by Athletic Greens, BiOptimizers, and TrueDark.Athletic Greens is offering Doctor’s Farmacy listeners a full year supply of their Vitamin D3/K2 Liquid Formula free with your first purchase, plus 5 free travel packs.

How Common Mineral Deficiencies Impact Our Health | This episode is brought to you by Joovv, BiOptimzers, and TrueDarkEvery second, there are 37 billion billion reactions (you read that right) happening inside our bodies. Each one needs enzymes to occur, and enzymes need nutrients like minerals to do their part of the job. Big picture, that means minerals have an enormous impact on our health. But we’re seeing an epidemic of mineral deficiencies, in an age of overnutrition with starch and sugar and undernutrition of essential nutrients. Even small amounts of insufficiency can lead to big problems. Today on The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m excited to connect with Dr. James DiNicolantonio to look at the increasing issue of mineral deficiencies, how we got here, and what we can do to consciously consume more minerals. Dr. DiNicolantonio is a Doctor of Pharmacy and a cardiovascular research scientist. A well-respected and internationally known scientist and an expert on health and nutrition, hehas contributed extensively to health policy and has testified in front of the Canadian Senateregarding the harms of added sugars.

The Link Between Autoimmune Disease, Chronic Fatigue, And Hidden Infections | This episode is brought to you by TrueDark, Essentia, and TushyPandemic aside, we’re seeing a national immune crisis. Autoimmune conditions continue to rise to record numbers, not to mention all of the chronic mystery illnesses that so many people struggle with daily. I’ve experienced this firsthand, along with the corresponding frustration and fear. There is an intriguing hypothesis about these conditions that I get into with my guests, Dana Parish and Dr. Steven Phillips, today on The Doctor’s Farmacy: underlying infections. Sneaky tick-borne diseases like Lyme, parasitic infections, and certain viruses can be extremely hard to diagnose. Meanwhile, they can contribute to an immune system collapse and other life-threatening breakdowns throughout the entire body. Dr. Phillips and Dana Parish share their incredible stories of overcoming chronic stealth infections after numerous doctors couldn’t help them. Lyme was a common factor for both of them, while Dr. Phillips was also able to diagnose Bartonella in Dana. At their worst, they both had extremely limited mobility and felt their lives were at risk. Dana shares that in addition to recovering her mobility and strength, treating these infections also had a profound impact on her mental health by reducing her anxiety and depression. Dr. Philips’ journey not only forced him to be his own detective to find healing, but also showed him how much discordance there is among conventional medicine in treating diseases like Lyme.

Is Alzheimer’s Reversible? Getting to the Root Causes | This episode is brought to you by BiOptimizers, Thrive Market, and TrueDarkAlzheimer’s doesn’t just happen overnight; it’s the severe end of a spectrum, that comes after decades of changes have already been occurring in the brain. So why is it that we’ve grown accustomed to dreading this diagnosis, instead of doing what we can to proactively stop it in its tracks? For one, we’ve long been told that once the brain starts downsizing we can’t reverse the process. Now, we know that’s not the case. It’s possible to avoid brain degradation and actually even rebuild it.Today’s guest on The Doctor’s Farmacy has been a pioneering detective for Alzheimer’s and other neurological issues. Dr. Dale Bredesen is internationally recognized as an expert in the mechanisms of neurodegenerative diseases and the author of the New York Times bestseller, The End of Alzheimer's. His latest book, The End of Alzheimer’s Program, goes into greater detail on the protocol he uses with his patients and how it can be tailored to anyone’s needs, at any age. Dale held faculty positions at UCSF, UCLA, and the University of California, San Diego, and directed the Program on Aging at the Burnham Institute before coming to the Buck Institute in 1998 as its founding president and CEO.

Who Should Eat Keto and Why? | This episode is brought to you by Paleovalley, Joovv, and TrueDarkChances are, you’ve heard a lot of buzz about the ketogenic (or keto) diet. This high-fat, low-carb approach to eating has become extremely popular in recent years for helping with everything from weight loss to cognition. So is it worth the hype? Like any diet, keto is great for some people and not-so-great for others. Genetics, family history, personal health goals, and so many other factors tie into what type of diet will work for an individual. The one-size-fits-all approach to diet has led way too many people down the wrong path.Today, I’m excited to chat with Gary Taubes all about the keto diet, it’s complexities and benefits, and who might want to consider it. Gary is an award-winning science and health journalist, and co-founder and director of the Nutrition Science Initiative. He is the author of The Case Against Sugar, Why We Get Fat, Good Calories, Bad Calories, and, most recently, The Case for Keto. Gary is a former staff writer for Discover and correspondent for Science. He has written three cover articles on nutrition and health for The New York Times Magazine, and his writing has also appeared in The Atlantic, Esquire, and numerous "best of" anthologies, including The Best of the Best American Science Writing (2010).

Is Your Acne Caused By What You're Eating? | This episode is brought to you by TrueDarkThe food you eat can have a major influence on the quality of your skin. Yet, conventional medicine primarily deals with acne by lathering potions and lotions on the skin or tackling it with antibiotics or topical steroids. In fact, we spend over a billion dollars on prescriptions and over-the-counter products to cure acne. But eliminating acne is best approached as an inside job.In this minisode, Dr. Hyman speaks with his colleagues at The UltraWellness Center about how what we eat can drive acne. They also discuss the biggest food culprits, as well as how to tell what foods might be causing an issue for you.Dr. LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years.

KAATSU bands incorporate blood flow moderation training that tricks the body into thinking it lifts much heavier weights than it actually is. When traditional weight lifting requires you to reach 70-80% of your 1 repetition maximum to stimulate muscle hypertrophy, then KAATSU achieves that effect only at 20-30%. So, it’s perfect for treating injuries or used when you don’t have access to heavyweights. Research about KAATSU bands also shows it lowers blood pressure, speeds up recovery from injuries, releases stem cells, builds muscle, burns fat and prevents age-related muscle loss.

Are you facing challenges when doing meetings online? Whether you’re running the meetings or you’re joining the meetings, here are some of the things you can do to make them more energised. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/topic/podcasts/ for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: The things you can do to energise your online meetings How to kick off your meetings with energisers The way to ensure speakers are brief and to the point Key Takeaways: Most meetings are set at a default of one hour, but a lot of meetings can actually be done in half that time. Opening up a meeting with a highlight and talking about something positive can lift people’s energy. Zoom meetings can be really quite intensive in terms of our energies and we’re constantly being subjected to blue light that’s emitted from the screen. Overexposure to blue light at the wrong times of day suppresses melatonin, which impacts our sleep. Action Steps: Energise your online meetings: Think about the time frame of the online meeting and try to get it into a short space of time as you can without degrading productivity. Kick off with an energiser. Open up a meeting with a highlight. Close the meeting by asking if anyone needs help or support. Have your meetings standing. Give the people in your meeting the permission to walk around. Request everybody who’s speaking in the meeting to stand on one leg to make sure that they will be brief and to the point. Be careful of the amount of screentime that you’re getting particularly in the latter part of the day and certainly in the evening. Vary the location of your meeting. You can go to a different room or have the meeting in the garden. Leanne said: “It’s really good discipline to have people not only exercise brevity but also make sure they’ve prepared and they’re to the point. “It’s much easier to keep a meeting short and to the point when people are standing up because it’s so long that they’ll move from one hip to the other.” If you’re interested in finding out what your health IQ is, take the Health IQ test to find out, and get a free 39-page report built around our six signals, which are sleep, mental health, energy, body composition, digestion, and fitness.

Functional Medicine is all about looking at the way our systems function together, rather than focusing on one part of the body at a time. The steps you take to support whole-body health work in the same way. Diet, exercise, stress reduction—they simultaneously affect more than just one aspect of your health—and new research has revealed that choices around these things can have major impacts on our sleep, and how that cycles back to support overall optimal health.In this episode I sit down with Dr. Todd LePine to discuss why so many of us experience issues related to our sleep and what we can do about it.Dr. LePine graduated from Dartmouth Medical School and is Board Certified in Internal Medicine, specializing in Integrative Functional Medicine. He is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner. Prior to joining The UltraWellness Center, he worked as a physician at Canyon Ranch in Lenox, MA, for 10 years. Dr. LePine’s focus at The UltraWellness Center is to help his patients achieve optimal health and vitality by restoring the natural balance to both the mind and the body. His areas of interest include optimal aging, bio-detoxification, functional gastrointestinal health, systemic inflammation, autoimmune disorders and the neurobiology of mood and cognitive disorders.

In this podcast, Megan Soffer, Brand, Digital and Content Marketing Manager of TrueDark, tells the listeners how "TrueDark is a wellness and performance brand leveraging healthier light for healthier living." Soffer talks about the array of products TrueDark offers to help regulate the sleep-wake cycle, also known as your circadian rhythm.  "Circadian rhythms are physical, mental, and behavioral changes that follow a daily cycle. They respond primarily to light and darkness in an organism's environment." In today's high tech, always on the go environment, we are constantly exposed to artificial light, also known as junk light, at work or blue light on our devices which confuses our bodies.  This especially happens when we get into bed at night with our electronic devices that are actually keeping us up. Soffer talks about the "wired and tired" feeling you get when you are laying in bed ready to sleep and, yet staring at screen emitting blue light that is actually keeping you awake.  The blue light and led light that comes from our devices and environments, blocks our bodies from creating the melatonin it needs to sleep.  This is one of the main reasons people suffer from insomnia. Simply put, TrueDark glasses work by blocking out the artificial light in order to regulate the sleep-wake cycle so we can sleep better at night.  But what makes TrueDark different than the other light blocking glasses on the market? "TrueDark glassses go even further than the other blue light blocking glasses by offering a 24 hour solution", Soffer explains.  TrueDark Daywalkers are a yellow tinted lens that blocks overexposure to led and florescent light, especially if you work in this environment all day long like a school or hospital.  TrueDark Twilight glasses are a red tinted lens that blocks 100% of blue light plus green and violet light too, which many of the other glasses do not.   Soffer tells the listeners that "the red lens is better and more effective for falling and staying asleep." Soffer talks how TrueDark glasses can be "the perfect solution for elite professional athletes or anyone that needs to travel across time zones yet arrive and perform at peak levels."  Soffer recommends wearing TrueDark throughout the airport, where it is flooded with blue and led light, about 90 minutes before your flight.  Even if you don't have a long flight, you can benefit by sleeping faster and better so when you arrive you can recover quickly and begin doing what you need to do.

  What can you do to counter some of the effects of flying across multiple time zones? Find out in this week's Insights as I zero in on jetlag. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/topic/podcasts/ for the complete show notes of every podcast episode.   Topics Discussed in this Episode: The 4 things you can do to counter the effect of jetlag The 2 factors that impact your circadian rhythm and jetlag How the Human Charger works   Key Takeaways: The two big factors that impact  circadian rhythm and jetlag are light and movement. Light is what dictates our circadian rhythm. When it comes to combating jetlag, using light is absolutely critical.   Action Steps: As soon as you board a plane, change the time on your watch to the time of your destination so you can already start to mentally adapt to what time it's going to be when you land. When you're onboard a flight across time zones, try to avoid eating at the times when they serve you because they serve those foods at your time of origin. Eat healthy snacks that are not particularly blood sugar-elevating during your flight. When you get to your destination and it's 8 AM but you think it's 3 AM, get as much exposure to natural light as you can and force yourself awake. When the afternoon comes, at around 3 or 4 PM, get a pair of blue light blocking glasses over your eyes. When you get to your destination, make sure to do lots of movement. Get a Human Charger   Leanne said: "Chances are, if you've flown across multiple time zones, you're going to be tired. And your body is going to already be under some stress." "The whole travel stress... even though you're hardly moving, it can be really quite stressful."   Thanks for listening!   Don't forget to share this episode with anyone you think could benefit from it.

What kind of relationship does burnout have with resilience? In many aspects of my professional life, burnout comes up as a subject. And closely linked to that is resilience. In this episode, I talk about what is resilience and how we can be more resilient.   Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/topic/podcasts/ for the complete show notes of every podcast episode.   Topics Discussed in this Episode: The definitions of resilience What causes a lack of resilience The 9 causes of depression and anxiety The importance of sleep The sleep staircase How to develop better resilience What makes a resilient human being   Key Takeaways: Two official definitions of resilience: It is the capacity to recover quickly from difficulties or toughness. It is the ability of a substance or object to spring back into shape or elasticity. For Leanne, resilience is the ability to recover from stresses and challenges, both anticipated and unanticipated. It's your fitness for the rigors of daily life. What causes a lack of resilience and depression and anxiety in society now is that we've become incredibly disconnected from important things. The 9 causes of depression and anxiety: Disconnection from meaningful work Disconnection from other people Disconnection from meaningful values Disconnection from childhood trauma Disconnection from status and respect Disconnection from the natural world Disconnection from a hopeful or secure future Changes in the genes Changes in the brain When you have a good foundation of sleep behind you, it's easier to go out and do the things that you want to do or need to do to stay resilient. It's a fact that 99.99% of people need between 7 and 8 hours of sleep each night. Having a good social network, from a mental health perspective, is going to be critical for your resilience. If you have good levels of energy and you're clear on how you can pace or ration that energy out, that's going to be key for resilience.   Action Steps: Make sure you get enough sleep and have good quality sleep. Look after your mental health. Practice meditation. Incorporate lots of low-level movement throughout the day. Eat a diet that is personalised to you so you're not getting causes of inflammation through poor food choices. Make sure you've got really strong social connections. Maintain good energy levels Gets lots of access to natural light. Make sure you're not sitting for prolonged periods and that you're out and about more often. Make sure that you're regularly moving your body in the way it's designed to. Practice heartfulness. Get into your discomfort zone.   Leanne said: "I think resilience could also be defined as personal sustainability. To what degree have you got the tools that enable you to cope with the pressures of daily life, the rigors of daily life?"   "When you get yourself into your discomfort zone, remarkable things happen. You demonstrate to yourself what you can achieve, you push past all your barriers, you defy what other people think you can achieve as well. And you develop enormous amounts of energy and strength from that."   Thanks for listening!   If you're interested in finding out what your health IQ is, take the  Health IQ test to find out, and get a free 39-page report built around our six signals, which are sleep, mental health, energy, body composition, digestion, and fitness.   If you've enjoyed what you've heard on this episode and it's added value to you, share the episode with someone you think could benefit from it.

What are some of the ways that we can optimise our health while living in an unnatural world? Mr. Health Optimisation, Tim Gray, talks about using technology to mimic the natural environment and some of the best biohacks for busy professionals. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/podcasts-blog for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: Biohacking and some of the best biohacks for busy professionals Using technology to mimic the natural environment Grounding The negative effect of blue light and what you can do about it Getting back to the basics of health optimisation Metabolomics The benefits of red light therapy Tips for jet lag Metabolic flexibility Key Takeaways: Biohacking is the use of science, technology, and nature to optimise your health. It has increased in size and reach, and turning a lot of heads in lots of industries because it’s quantifiable. Biohacking is about using your common sense of going, ‘Here’s the stuff I’m doing and here’s how I feel and here’s the data that backs it up,’ and saying, ‘Well, actually, what other areas should I test subjectively? And then see what I can quantify through data?’ Grounding or connecting with the earth is apparently a great antioxidant and good for sleep. Red light therapy is brilliant for healing. Metabolomics is the future health care. It’s looking at the body at the cellular level and seeing what your cells are deficient of. Hydration, sleep, and sunlight are really the three key things to health optimisation, plus metabolic flexibility. Action Steps: Get to the basics of optimising your health. Look at your genetics and see if there’s anything in the MTHFR specifically that needs optimising. Make sure that your hydration is correct. Have the proper mineralised water and the right minerals. Make sure your nutrition is correct. Eat organic, naturally-grown foods. Optimise your sleep by making sure that your light exposure is correct. Get natural light during the day and minimise blue light exposure by wearing blue light blocking glasses in the evening Take responsibility for your own health. Focus on the basics before you even think about buying any new technology. Personalise your diet. Tim said: “Biohack is a quirky term for health optimisation, and it’s about using your environment, supplements, or whatever necessary to optimise your health, and often through tracking it through data as well so you can quantify what you’re actually doing.” “My number one biohack is sleep optimisation... [Without proper sleep], your body doesn’t heal, your brain doesn’t work correctly, you don’t have the energy.” Thanks for listening!

What is junk light and how does it affect the quality of our sleep? What does it have to do with our overall mood and energy? TrueDark CEO Jenna Keane talks about what people can do about junk light in their own homes and in their own lives. Visit https://www.bodyshotperformance.com/podcasts-blog for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: How blue light and green light interfere with our sleep How TrueDark came to be The problems that people experience from too much blue light exposure What happens in your brain when you wear blue light blocking glasses The types of glasses that block blue light What the HumanCharger does Strategies to mitigate jet lag How to help stop the junk light in your environment Key Takeaways: The concept of blue light being bad for humans was actually discovered back in the ’70s by NASA, and the issue was that you can get too much blue light from things like electronics. Blue light tells your body that it’s too bright outside, so the body doesn’t recognize that it’s already night time and you end up not getting enough sleep. Studies show that there’s a sensor in our eyes called melanopsin that is sensitive not only to blue light but also to green light. If you want to go to sleep quickly and stay asleep and sleep deeply, blocking both blue and green lights an hour or two before sleep is really, really important. When you block the blue and green light, you see the world through red. And when your body has these lights being filtered, it thinks it’s dark. Blue light is not necessarily bad for you. But getting too much blue light at the wrong time of the day or in the evening, that’s what can have a negative impact on your sleep and your health overall. We don’t just absorb light through our eyes, we also absorb light through our skin. Action Steps: Wind down at night by putting on the blue light blocking glasses. Aim to get a solid two to three hours of natural sunlight outside, ideally in the morning. Consider using a HumanCharger to increase your energy levels. Make sure that your sleeping area or your bedroom is totally dark by using blackout curtains. If you have an electric clock in your bedroom, unplug it, or choose one that has red lettering and that is dimmable and dim it as low as you can. Before bed, keep the lights out, or get a lamp that has a red bulb. Use halogens or incandescent lights instead of fluorescent lights in your house. Jenna said: “When you have companies like Apple and Samsung and Android making filters to tone down the amount of blue that’s in their products at night because they recognize that it’s a problem, that says that this is a universal, international problem.” “Everyone has different reactions to light. Some people are super light sensitive, others are not. But when it comes down to it, sleep is a universal thing… If you have a challenge in your life, start with your sleep because it impacts everything else.” Thanks for listening!

Our society, even the health & wellness industry, has set the bar insanely low for what is considered a “normal” healthy body and brain. If it’s possible to feel, think, and operate at a much higher level than “normal” health, why is anyone settling for less? Our guest Chris Keane, Chief Technology Officer of 40 Years of Zen, is a hardcore biohacker who wants to help everyone get to a more optimal level of health, leaving “normal” in the dust. Working with world-famous neuroscientists and biohackers, his team is building the technology that will take neurohacking to the next level. I got to get a taste of this technology three years ago when I did the 40 Years of Zen training myself. Going through the program was an awesome and transformative experience for me, and I cannot suggest it more highly. It is the ultimate brain performance upgrade program out there, embraced by senior executives of major corporations, political leaders, world-class athletes, famous artists and authors, innovators of all kinds, and any other high-performance people who are looking for a further edge. Chris first got into the biohacking scene because he met Dave Asprey years ago, back when he was working in tech before Bulletproof ever existed. When Dave was looking for someone to help him build Biohacked.com, Chris was his guy. Chris had always been pretty fit and felt like he was in good health – but when he and Dave started looking into how biology really works, he started realizing that his definition of well was below where it should be. Fast forward many years and, today, Chris is testing new biohacking tech on himself every single day and he feels better now than he did 20 years ago. Since the modern medical profession isn’t really about prevention or optimizing wellness, it’s time to take the reigns of our health into our own hands. It’s time to redefine your normal. If you know someone who is dissatisfied with the status quo, share this episode with them right now.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Seeing the differences in your own brain over an extended period of time biohacking Being healthier than we were 20 years ago The potential for stem cell therapy A simple, comprehensive overview of Neurofeedback How trauma (of any kind) creates junk data in your brain & how Neurofeedback cleans it up Getting into a flow state, and what it can do for your creativity How Neurofeedback training reversed the negative impact that racing motorcycles (and occasionally crashing) had on Chris’ brain Chris’ mission to stop junk light How Chris uses TrueDark glasses and a watch to hack his biology & minimize jet lag after long flights Chris’ mission to stop toxic junk light, and why it’s the #1 risk to our health   More about this episode.

Luke will take a deep dive into biohacking, a relatively new concept that involves using science, technology, and research to hack your body and brain. We’ll talk about his life and his various transitions, as well as concepts like the importance of sunlight, choosing the best drinking water, and what a fulfilling morning routine looks like. Connect With Luke: Luke Storey @MrLukeStorey on Twitter Luke Storey on Instagram Luke Storey on YouTube @MrLukeStorey on Facebook Luke Storey on LinkedIn The Mission Log: [07:13] - Luke shares a bit about himself and talks about his life story. He explains that he has had a classic hero’s journey, and even dealt with drug addiction from a shockingly early age. [11:00] - We hear about what Luke did with the trauma he experienced as a kid, and how easily he got addicted to various substances. He also discusses the reasons that he didn’t follow through with his suicidal ideas. [14:09] - On the positive side, things became so dark and painful by Luke’s mid-20s that he was able to explore his shadow self in depth early in his life. This thoroughly prepared him to study spirituality when he was 26. [16:36] - Luke talks about his next steps professionally, as he began working as a stylist. He then discusses his complete career shift two years ago, when he reinvented himself as a life stylist. [19:46] - Orion feels and understands Luke’s passion, and has a similar passion for her work. [21:06] - Luke discusses the fear behind his transition, as well as the result of the transition. [25:18] - After 17 years as a stylist, it became clear to Luke that fashion wasn’t his true passion and he wasn’t fulfilled by it. Instead, the thing that puts him in the best mood is helping other people. He talks about how he discovered this. [27:46] - Orion points out that when people pay, they pay attention. [29:52] - Luke shifts into talking about biohacking by discussing how difficult it is to achieve success in personal refinement and development when your biology is suffering. [33:24] - What is Luke’s definition of biohacking? [36:15] - Luke talks about what has and hasn’t worked in getting our species to where we are. As our technology advances, he points out, we get further and further away from our natural environment. [39:20] - Last night, Orion put her TrueDark glasses on before she went to bed. This morning, she soaked up the sunlight on the beach. [40:26] - One of Luke’s biggest sleep hacks is to get at least 20 minutes of natural daylight as early in the day as you can. He then raves about the experience of collecting your own spring water. [42:50] - Luke has created a document talking about his water priorities. He explains the best kind of water to drink, and why commercially available water has nothing beneficial alive in it. [50:31] - Luke has only found one company that he believes has done filtration right: PristineHydro. Their filter mimics what a spring would do to water. He then offers a code that will save you 20% on your first order there. [54:18] - What is Luke’s morning routine for nourishing his mind and body? He details this process, which he says is identical from day to day. [57:20] - Dr. David R. Hawkins is one of Luke’s favorite people to listen to in the morning. He lists some of his other favorites as well. [60:06] - After listening to a podcast in the morning, Luke makes an herbal elixir. He lists many of the ingredients that he often includes. He then describes the next steps in his morning routine. [68:01] - Luke ends his morning routine with some spiritual reading on his porch in the sun, then does a few minutes on his Bellicon trampoline. [69:49] - What are Luke’s three top tips for living a stellar life? Develop a relationship with whatever energy or power created the planet and everything on it. Monitor your own thinking and thoughts, and guard yourself from thoughts based in negative energy. Address the physical level by optimizing the outer environment to be as natural as possible.

The health and wellness world can be a very confusing place at times, especially when it comes to the rise of self-proclaimed health experts who may not always have your best health and wellness in mind. This ocean of information online leads millions of people to the false-promised land every day from clickbait sites, facebook ads, and even more concerning now with a 2017 trend emerging towards getting the body, abs, and fitness people want in weeks rather than months, there is a new segment of our industry that is growing fast: Biohacking. But do the biohacking claims about using wires, lights, pills, tubes and devices truly stack up against the power of doing the deeper emotional inventory around why someone's health suffered in the first place? What is our body's response to blue light and how do we biohack for wellness in the EMF/WiFi congested and artificially lit up world that so many work and live inside of? Can we combine biohacking with the physical and emotional intelligence needed to live life well? Join us on Wellness Force Radio 143 as we answers these questions and explore the truth about biohacking with Thaddeus Owen, Co-Founder of PrimalHacker.   JOIN THE FACEBOOK GROUP | REVIEW THIS PODCAST   "Everyone's truth and exploration of life is on a different path.

Thaddeus's Guidelines For Optimal Health: Natural sunlight early in the morning within 2 hours of waking (especially at early dawn) Quality sleep hygiene and sleep timing Eating whole, real foods that have no labels Blocking artificial light from our eyes and body Movement breaks, walking, mobility Why The NIH held a meeting to expose the health risks of blue and artificial light How To Defend Against Harmful Blue Light: Wear blue light blocking glasses at night Install www.iristech.co to block blue light from your devices Adjust your Apple or Android devices to timed "night-shift" mode or "twilight" app How Thaddeus's health practices and wellness mindset changed when becoming a father What you can do right now to garner better wellness for yourself and for the people you care about Power Quotes From The Show "Everyone's truth and exploration of life is on a different path. You must understand yourself and your own truth by seeking the things that will build you up from the inside out." - Thaddeus Owen "I understood from a young age that having a powerful body lead to a more powerful and clear mind and how much eating and movement had to do with how we show up in the world." - Thaddeus Owen "I can't work in a job that doesn't provide some kind of benefit to humanity, and that's why founded PrimalHacker." - Thaddeus Owen "We see people dead on gurneys all the time that have six pack abs, have run marathons, and might look amazing; outwardly there were Adonis's is but inwardly they were not healthy. To me, real wellness comes from the inside. How comfortable do you feel in your own skin? How excited are you about life and exploring all the possibilities around you? Wellness to me is being curious, being excited to get up every day, and being comfortable with who you are from the inside out." - Thaddeus Owen "A lot of people want to get healthy and well quickly so they tend to copy someone else who has had biohacking success, but they don't actually know for themselves why they're doing it." - Thaddeus Owen There is increasing concern about the types of problems that might be caused by our constant exposure to blue light, from computers and televisions and other modern technology. By cutting out the blue light, Thaddeus Owen says he sleeps much better and reduces potential problems with vision or cancers. Thaddeus is a sustainability manager, a national leader in developing a zero-waste philosophy within industry and turning sustainable ideas into reality. Along the way, he has become a passionate advocate for responsible use of technology and our daily encounters with blue light. He wears sunglasses indoors and at night, and thinks the rest of us should too. About Thaddeus Owen Thaddeus began his journey outdoors, camping and fishing as a boy in the Adirondacks and Central NY forests. After a decade spent developing pharmaceutical products, he just couldn’t face another day adding terrible ingredients like high fructose corn syrup and numerous red dyes into children’s medicine. He shifted gears and engineered a successful work from home assignment following Tim Ferriss’s 4 Hour Workweek. From there, he was able to find a way to incorporate more movement, nature and sunshine into his work environment. After learning about biohacking from the man who coined the term, Dave Asprey, Thaddeus healed his own anxiety, lowered his blood pressure and fixed his sleeplessness using biohacking, PrimalHacking and Qigong. He spends his free time experimenting on himself in hopes of helping others on their journey. He writes about his experiments on PrimalHacker.com. He also spends time with his two boys learning martial arts, shooting arrows at targets and hiking. Thaddeus is a certified Bulletproof Coach from the first ever class of coaches, holds a personal training certification, nutrition certification, Master’s degree in Holistic Nutrition and studied Chemical Engineering a long time ago.
