    How To Reverse Your Age For $5 Day (Budget Biohacking) : 1562

    I have spent $2.5 million on this body, and Bryan Johnson spends about $5,400 a day on his. But does it need to be that expensive to biohack? So I gave myself a challenge: build a complete anti-aging protocol for $5/day, where every single thing on it has to be validated in humans, not mice. I could not spend the five dollars. In this video I'll show you the entire list and the two most powerful things I found… which cost nothing at all.


    You'll Learn:

    • How to build a science-backed longevity routine for less than $5 a day
    • Why omega-3s, GlyNAC, and magnesium may help slow aging and support cellular repair
    • How creatine, vitamin D, and L-theanine support brain health, muscle function, and focus
    • Why blackout curtains, red light, and blue-light-blocking glasses can improve sleep and circadian health
    • How walking, morning sunlight, fiber, and quality sleep can improve longevity without expensive supplements
    • What Dave learned from spending $2.5 million on biohacking and why preventing damage is cheaper than repairing it

    Avoid THESE "Healthy" Superfoods : 1561

    We just had to bring this one back for you. Today, we’re digging once again into specifics about food that you haven’t heard on the show before. This one may very well influence you to rethink your “healthy” diet and change how you feel about food completely. To get there, I’m excited to welcome back Teri Cochrane, an integrative practitioner and pioneer in personalized healthcare. 

    Teri is the founder of the Global Sustainable Health Institute® and developer of The Cochrane Method®, a future-facing algorithm for decoding the human body. Teri is also one of the world’s leading experts on dietary amyloids, which is a topic I love talking about.

    In today’s episode, we get into what amyloids are and how they turn on viruses, cause cancer, and shorten our lives. We also explore the dangers of oxalates and histamines, plus hacks to reduce and release them. Teri and I both have our own recipes for releasing oxalates that you can try at home (they’re surprisingly simple). 

    We talk about how dirty poultry is killing us—and how superfoods like kale and almonds aren’t any better. We break down the benefits of regenerative farming, and share ways to make your dollar stretch if you can’t afford grass-fed meat. Plus, Teri tells us what she personally eats.

    How to Trigger Flow States From The 5 Brain Chemicals You Need : 1559

    The Neuroscience of Flow, Peak Performance, Psychedelics, Trauma, Intuition & Consciousness with Steven Kotler


    Host Dave Asprey sits down with Steven Kotler, New York Times bestselling author and leading researcher in the neuroscience of flow, to explore how altered states of consciousness influence peak performance, mental health, creativity, intuition, and our perception of reality.


    Steven Kotler is a bestselling author of 17 books, including The Art of Impossible and We Are as Gods, and the founder of the Flow Research Collective. For decades, he has studied the neurobiology of peak performance, working with elite athletes, military personnel, and high-performing professionals to understand how people can reliably access flow states.


    Dave and Steven begin by exploring the neuroscience of flow and why it may be one of the most powerful altered states available without drugs. Steven explains how dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, anandamide, and endorphins contribute to the flow experience, why his research suggests caffeine can increase flow susceptibility, and how chasing the neurochemical high of peak performance can become dangerous.


    They discuss the darker side of flow training, including its potential risks for people prone to mania, the importance of recovery, and why attempting to remain in a flow state indefinitely can undermine performance. Steven shares how his training programs approach sleep, attention, and behavioral changes to help people access flow more consistently.


    The conversation then moves into psychedelics, ketamine-assisted therapy, and the neuroscience of trauma. Steven introduces emerging research suggesting that unresolved emotional patterns may involve the brain's predictive processing systems. Dave shares a personal experience involving Joe Rogan and how revisiting an early childhood memory changed his emotional response to public criticism.


    Dave and Steven also explore how the brain constructs reality, including the neuroscience of perception, sensory processing, and the flexible boundary between ourselves and our environment. They discuss how flow alters our sense of self, why the brain predicts what we experience before we consciously perceive it, and how these mechanisms may help explain certain spiritual and out-of-body experiences.


    Finally, Steven reveals new research investigating the neurological connections between flow, intuition, synchronicity, and purpose. He discusses emerging theories of consciousness, the role of information processing in subjective experience, and how artificial intelligence may change the future of human performance.


    You'll Learn:

    • How flow states influence dopamine, norepinephrine, serotonin, anandamide, and endorphins, and why Steven's research suggests caffeine may help make the brain more susceptible to flow.
    • Why chasing the neurochemical high of flow can become dangerous, how flow training may affect people prone to mania, and why sleep and recovery are essential for sustained peak performance.
    • How ketamine-assisted therapy may help uncover forgotten emotional experiences and why Steven believes the brain's predictive processing systems play an important role in trauma.
    • How the brain constructs our perception of reality, why sensory information reaches consciousness at different speeds, and what happens to our sense of self during altered states.
    • Why flow may enhance intuition and how emerging neuroscience research is investigating connections between synchronicity, purpose, and the brain's information-processing systems.
    • How Steven is using neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and years of flow training data to develop more accessible methods for improving focus, learning, and performance.

    The 6-Minute Morning Routine That Can Change Your Life : 1558

    The Miracle Morning, Visualization, Affirmations, Meditation, Morning Routines, Productivity & the Psychology of Success with Hal Elrod


    Host Dave Asprey sits down with Hal Elrod, bestselling author of The Miracle Morning and personal development expert, to explore morning routines, visualization, affirmations, meditation, productivity, circadian rhythms, habit formation, and the psychology of success.


    Hal Elrod is the creator of The Miracle Morning, a bestselling book and personal development method that has helped millions improve their daily habits. After surviving a devastating car accident at age 20 and later battling life-threatening cancer, Hal developed a philosophy centered on resilience, personal responsibility, and consistent daily practices.


    Dave and Hal challenge the idea that success requires waking up at 5 AM. They discuss chronotypes, circadian biology, and why morning routines should work with your natural sleep patterns. Hal introduces his six-part SAVERS framework, explaining how meditation, affirmations, visualization, exercise, reading, and journaling can transform your morning in as little as six minutes.


    They explore how smartphones disrupt attention, why visualization works best when paired with mental rehearsal, and how these techniques can help overcome procrastination. Hal shares how he used visualization to train for a 52-mile ultramarathon, while Dave discusses advanced meditation, neurofeedback, and the role of emotional states in mental performance.


    The conversation also challenges traditional positive affirmations. Hal explains why unrealistic statements often fail and shares a three-step method for setting commitments, identifying motivations, and taking action. Dave connects these practices to consciousness, altered states, and the relationship between intention and human performance.


    Finally, Hal reflects on surviving cancer and a near-fatal car accident, sharing how his daily practices helped him build resilience. Dave and Hal discuss the balance between disciplined action, belief, and the mental states that influence our ability to achieve meaningful goals.


    This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in morning routines, visualization, affirmations, meditation, productivity, habit formation, circadian rhythms, overcoming procrastination, mental performance, emotional resilience, consciousness, and the science of personal development.


    You'll Learn:

    • Why waking up at 5 AM isn't necessary for success and how to build a morning routine around your natural circadian rhythm and chronotype
    • How Hal Elrod's six SAVERS practices can improve daily focus, discipline, and emotional well-being in as little as six minutes
    • Why checking your smartphone first thing in the morning can undermine attention, productivity, and your ability to respond intentionally throughout the day
    • How to use visualization and detailed mental rehearsal to overcome procrastination, strengthen motivation, and follow through on difficult goals
    • Why traditional positive affirmations often fail and how to create actionable affirmations based on specific commitments, meaningful reasons, and daily behaviors
    • How meditation, emotional states, and intentional daily habits helped Hal navigate life-threatening health challenges and develop greater resilience

    Sleep Expert: 80% of Sleep Problems Come From THIS : 1555

    Sleep Anxiety, Insomnia, Circadian Rhythms, Chronotypes, Sleep Trackers & How to Sleep Better with Dr. Michael Breus 


    Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Michael Breus, clinical psychologist, sleep specialist, and internationally recognized sleep expert known as The Sleep Doctor, to explore insomnia, sleep anxiety, circadian rhythms, chronotypes, nighttime awakenings, temperature regulation, sleep medications, wearable sleep trackers, and the science of improving sleep quality. 


    The conversation challenges conventional thinking about sleep, including whether everyone needs eight hours, why trying harder to fall asleep can make insomnia worse, and how the body's internal clock influences energy, productivity, and recovery. 


    Dr. Breus explains why he believes fear and anxiety contribute to a substantial proportion of sleep problems. He describes how worrying about falling asleep, waking up at 3 a.m., or feeling exhausted the next day can create a cycle of stress that makes restful sleep increasingly difficult. Dave and Michael explore how cognitive behavioral therapy, emotional regulation, and changing your relationship with sleep may help break that cycle without relying exclusively on medication. 


    They also examine the science of chronotypes, the biological differences that influence when people naturally feel alert or sleepy. Michael explains why aligning sleep, work, meals, and exercise with your individual circadian rhythm may improve sleep efficiency and daytime performance. Dave shares how changing his exposure to artificial light and adjusting his daily routines helped him shift from being a night owl to maintaining an earlier bedtime. 


    The discussion then turns to the three physiological conditions Michael considers essential for falling asleep: lowering core body temperature, reducing heart rate, and decreasing anxiety. He explains why simply turning down the thermostat may not be enough to cool your body under the covers, how temperature-controlled mattresses can support thermoregulation, and why something as simple as warming your feet may help your body release heat. 


    Dave and Michael also discuss blue light, nighttime lighting, and the environmental signals that regulate circadian timing. They examine why light exposure, meal timing, exercise, temperature, and social interaction can influence the body's internal clock, along with the limitations of conventional blue-light-blocking glasses. 


    The conversation explores why sleeping pills may fail to address the underlying causes of chronic insomnia, how nighttime awakenings can trigger negative thinking, and why the fear of being tired may sometimes become more disruptive than the tiredness itself. Dave shares his experience deliberately restricting sleep while building his businesses, and Michael explains the difference between temporarily functioning with less sleep and maintaining healthy sleep habits over the long term. 


    They also challenge the growing obsession with sleep scores, deep sleep measurements, and wearable tracking devices. Michael explains why consumer sleep trackers cannot provide the same measurements as a clinical sleep study, why individual sleep-stage estimates should be interpreted cautiously, and why how you feel in the morning remains an important indicator of sleep quality. 


    Finally, Dave and Michael examine emerging research on creatine supplementation and sleep deprivation, including whether creatine can temporarily support cognitive performance after insufficient sleep. They discuss the potential benefits, limitations, and risks of using supplements to compensate for lost sleep, emphasizing why improving sleep quality should remain the priority. 


    This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in insomnia, sleep anxiety, waking up at 3 a.m., circadian rhythms, chronotypes, sleep optimization, blue light, temperature regulation, sleep medications, cognitive behavioral therapy, wearable sleep trackers, deep sleep, creatine, cognitive performance, longevity, and the science of getting better sleep. 


    You'll Learn: 

    • Why Dr. Michael Breus believes fear and anxiety contribute to many sleep problems, and how worrying about sleep can make insomnia worse 
    • How your chronotype influences your ideal bedtime, wake-up time, energy levels, and the amount of sleep you may need 
    • Why lowering body temperature, heart rate, and anxiety can help you fall asleep faster and improve sleep quality

    The Science Behind Joint and Cartilidge Repair : 1554

    Explore Calroy's vascular health and joint support supplements, including Arterosil, Vascanox, and Cartigenix, at https://calroy.com/dave 


    Cartilage Regeneration, Joint Pain, Nitric Oxide, Blood Flow, Muscle Strength & Longevity with Kiran Krishnan 


    Host Dave Asprey sits down with Kiran Krishnan, research microbiologist, systems biology researcher, and co-founder of Microbiome Labs, to explore cartilage regeneration, joint pain, osteoarthritis, nitric oxide, vascular health, inflammation, muscle growth, gut health, bone density, and the biological mechanisms that influence how the body ages. 


    Kiran Krishnan is a research microbiologist, health and wellness expert, and entrepreneur who specializes in the human microbiome, gut health, inflammation, and systems biology. Over the past 20 years, he has founded several successful health and supplement companies, including co-founding and leading Microbiome Labs, a leading microbiome therapeutics brand among healthcare professionals. He is also a co-founder and partner in three other health companies. Kiran has conducted and published scientific research, contributed chapters to scientific textbooks, holds global patents, and is a sought-after speaker on human health and the microbiome. 


    His latest work explores the relationship between blood vessel health, chronic inflammation, and the body's ability to repair damaged cartilage. Through research involving compounds designed to support vascular function, nitric oxide production, and joint health, Kiran is investigating whether age-related tissue degeneration can be slowed or potentially reversed. 


    Dave opens the conversation by sharing his lifelong struggle with joint pain, including an arthritis diagnosis at age 14 and three knee surgeries. Kiran explains why cartilage degeneration may begin long before symptoms appear and how declining blood flow, damaged microvessels, and chronic inflammation can interfere with the body's natural cartilage repair mechanisms. 


    They explore the role of the endothelial glycocalyx, the protective lining inside blood vessels, and why nitric oxide production becomes increasingly important with age. Kiran explains how impaired circulation can affect everything from joint lubrication and cartilage health to cognitive performance, digestion, muscle recovery, and sexual function. 


    Kiran also discusses research involving Cartigenix, a joint support supplement developed using compounds from Boswellia and celery seed. He describes clinical trials involving patients with osteoarthritis, including reported improvements in joint pain, inflammation, and cartilage regeneration, even among older adults with advanced joint degeneration. Dave and Kiran examine how Cartigenix, Arterosil, and Vascanox target different aspects of joint and vascular health, while distinguishing the Cartigenix trial results from the proposed benefits of combining all three products. 


    The conversation then shifts to practical strategies for improving circulation and metabolic health. Dave and Kiran discuss why walking after meals may help regulate blood sugar, how the cephalic response prepares the digestive system for food, and why excessive endurance exercise may create trade-offs for recovery and long-term health. 


    They also challenge conventional thinking about muscle growth and longevity. Kiran explains why functional strength may matter more than muscle size, how nitric oxide and microcirculation influence the delivery of amino acids to muscle tissue, and why maintaining healthy blood vessels could be an overlooked factor in preserving strength as you age. 


    Finally, Kiran previews emerging research on bone regeneration, gut health, and a new postbiotic-based formulation being developed for bone health, particularly during perimenopause and menopause. He shares early findings involving bone repair and osteocyte production, while Dave explains why maintaining strong bones, healthy joints, and efficient circulation should be foundational priorities for anyone interested in longevity. 


    This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in cartilage regeneration, osteoarthritis, chronic joint pain, nitric oxide, blood circulation, vascular health, inflammation, muscle growth, strength training, gut health, bone density, menopause, cellular repair, supplements, biohacking, and the science of maintaining physical performance as you age. 


    You’ll Learn: 

    • Why cartilage breaks down with age and how impaired blood flow and chronic inflammation interfere with joint repair 
    • What Kiran's clinical research suggests about cartilage regeneration and joint recovery in people with osteoarthritis 
    • How nitric oxide and the endothelial glycocalyx influence circulation, cardiovascular health, cognitive function, and longevity 
    • Why functional strength may be more important than muscle size for healthy aging, and how blood flow affects muscle growth and recovery 
    • How walking after meals, supporting digestion, and improving vascular function may benefit blood sugar regulation and gut health 
    • What emerging research suggests about bone regeneration, postbiotics, and maintaining bone density during menopause and aging

    Your Brain Has a Focus Switch (Here's How to Turn It On) : 1553

    Try TrueDark glasses: https://truedark.com

    Try Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/discount/davetube

    Try Suppgrade Labs: https://shopsuppgradelabs.com/


    This video reveals that the brain has a documented neurological focus state driven by prefrontal cortex activation and norepinephrine signaling that most people access accidentally but can learn to trigger reliably. Dave explains the biological mechanism and the specific supplement and behavioral stack that activates this state within 20 minutes.


    You'll Learn:

    • Why your brain has a neurochemical "focus switch" and how to flip it on in about 20 minutes, with no extra willpower or motivation
    • How norepinephrine and dopamine work together to lock you into deep focus, and what happens when only one of them is present
    • Why chronic stress, poor sleep, and sitting all day drain the exact chemicals your focus depends on
    • How L-tyrosine gives your brain the raw materials to make focus chemicals, and the dose and timing that work
    • Why the 1:2 ratio of caffeine to L-theanine beats coffee alone for working memory, accuracy, and calm, sustained concentration
    • Which options like modafinil and Rhodiola rosea support norepinephrine and dopamine, and how they compare
    • How morning light and five minutes of movement set your focus chemistry for the entire day
    • Why focus is never about effort, and how the right chemistry makes deep work feel effortless

    Infections & Cancer, Finasteride Side Effects, Blueberry Benefits, Vitamin D & Fertility, and CoQ10 : 1552

    Infections Were Linked to About 1 in 8 Cancer Cases Worldwide 


    A new global analysis estimates that infections were responsible for roughly 2.3 million new cancer cases in 2024, about 12% of all cancers worldwide. H. pylori and HPV were the largest contributors, followed by hepatitis B, Epstein-Barr virus, and hepatitis C. Host Dave Asprey explores how persistent infections can contribute to cancer through chronic inflammation, DNA damage, altered immune surveillance, and other biological pathways. He explains why this does not mean cancer is contagious or that infection inevitably leads to cancer, but argues that identifying, preventing, and treating infections such as H. pylori, hepatitis B, and hepatitis C can be an overlooked part of a long-term prevention strategy.

    What We Really Know About Persistent Finasteride Side Effects 

    Finasteride reduces the conversion of testosterone into DHT by inhibiting 5-alpha reductase, but that enzyme also participates in pathways involved in neuroactive steroids. Some former users report persistent sexual, cognitive, mood, and physical symptoms after stopping the drug, a collection of symptoms commonly called post-finasteride syndrome. Small studies have reported differences in neurosteroids, gene expression, androgen signaling, and peripheral nerve function among symptomatic former users, but these studies cannot establish that finasteride caused those changes or determine how common persistent symptoms are. Host Dave Asprey examines the evidence between the two extremes, neither dismissing persistent symptoms nor assuming that finasteride permanently damages everyone who takes it. European regulators have also recognized suicidal ideation as a possible adverse effect of oral finasteride, although its frequency remains unknown.

    One Cup of Blueberries a Day Improved Measures of Vascular Function 

    In a six-month randomized controlled trial involving 115 adults with metabolic syndrome, consuming the equivalent of one cup of blueberries per day improved endothelial function and a measure of arterial stiffness, while a half-cup dose did not produce the same effects. Host Dave Asprey explains why describing blueberries simply as “antioxidants” misses much of their biology. Anthocyanins and other polyphenols can interact with gut microbes and influence vascular, inflammatory, and nitric oxide-related signaling. He also examines a small smoothie experiment showing that the polyphenol oxidase found in bananas sharply reduced the circulating metabolites of certain flavan-3-ols, while emphasizing that the experiment did not prove bananas erase the benefits of blueberries.

    Vitamin D Matters to Male Reproductive Biology, But It Is Not a Fertility Treatment 

    Vitamin D receptors are present throughout the male reproductive system, and vitamin D signaling may influence processes involved in sperm motility and fertilization. Observational research has linked low vitamin D with poorer sperm motility, but clinical outcomes are less straightforward. In a randomized trial of 330 vitamin D-insufficient infertile men, supplementation raised vitamin D levels but did not improve overall semen parameters. Researchers observed potentially interesting signals involving spontaneous pregnancy and live birth among a subgroup of men with low sperm counts, but those findings require confirmation. Host Dave Asprey explains why correcting a vitamin D deficiency still makes sense while arguing that male fertility needs to be evaluated as a larger system involving metabolic health, sleep, heat exposure, medications, hormones, micronutrients, toxins, oxidative stress, and semen testing.

    CoQ10 Shows Why a Great Mechanism Does Not Guarantee a Great Treatment 

    CoQ10 plays a central role in mitochondrial energy production and electron transport, making it an appealing candidate for diseases involving mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and neuronal energy failure. Early biological reasoning and smaller studies looked promising, but larger clinical trials have repeatedly failed to show the expected neurological benefits. A randomized trial of 600 people with early Parkinson’s disease found no evidence that high-dose CoQ10 slowed disease progression, while a large Huntington’s disease trial was stopped early for futility. A Phase II ALS trial also found insufficient evidence to justify moving to a larger Phase III study. Host Dave Asprey uses CoQ10 as a broader lesson in biohacking: a supplement can have a legitimate biological function while still failing to improve the clinical outcome you care about.

    This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity enthusiasts, men thinking about hair loss or fertility, and anyone trying to distinguish a compelling biological mechanism from a proven intervention. Host Dave Asprey examines how chronic infections contribute to cancer risk, what the evidence really says about persistent finasteride symptoms, why blueberries may influence vascular health through polyphenol signaling, where vitamin D fits into male fertility, and why CoQ10 is a powerful example of promising biology failing to translate into clinical outcomes. The larger lesson is simple: understand the mechanism, look for meaningful human outcomes, measure your own biology, and avoid confusing a plausible explanation with proof that an intervention works.

    How to Unlock Psychic Abilities to Know When You’ll Die : 1551

    Get a free digital and audiobook copy of Angelic Attendants at https://askjulieryan.com/request-ebook/ 


    Psychic Abilities, Medical Intuition, Energy Healing, Remote Viewing & What Happens When We Die with Julie Ryan 


    Host Dave Asprey sits down with Julie Ryan, psychic, medical intuitive, inventor, author, entrepreneur, and host of the Ask Julie Ryan podcast, to explore intuition, consciousness, energetic healing, remote viewing, communication with spirits, past lives, dreams, and what Julie says happens as people approach death. 


    Julie Ryan is a psychic and medical intuitive who says she can sense medical conditions, facilitate energetic healings, communicate with spirits, scan animals, access past lives, and tell how close someone may be to death. She is also an inventor, author, radio host, podcaster, and serial entrepreneur who has founded nine companies across five industries. Her surgical device inventions are sold globally, and unlike many people working in the intuitive space, Julie says her psychic and medical intuitive abilities were learned. 


    Her book Angelic Attendants: What Really Happens As We Transition From This Life Into The Next explores what she describes as the process of dying, including the presence of angels, deceased family members, friends, pets, and other experiences that may occur near the end of life. 


    Julie explains how she went from building companies and inventing surgical devices to learning psychic and medical intuitive skills she now teaches to others. She describes how she believes people can remotely sense information about the body, distinguish intuition from ordinary thoughts, and develop abilities that often get ignored or shut down as people grow older. 


    Dave and Julie explore what it means to “scan” someone from a distance, how Julie says she perceives injuries and illness inside the body, and why she sees intuition as another form of information processing rather than something reserved for a small group of gifted people. Julie also explains why visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners may experience intuitive information differently. 


    They also discuss energetic healing, emotional trauma, brainwave patterns, spiritual experiences during surgery, communication with deceased loved ones, and the role dreams may play in receiving intuitive information. Dave shares his own experiences with intuition, altered brain states, grief, and the peaceful death of his mother. 


    This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in psychic abilities, intuition, consciousness, energy healing, remote viewing, medical intuition, dreams, the afterlife, grief, near-death awareness, spirituality, neuroscience, and the possibility that human perception may extend beyond what most people are trained to notice. 


    You’ll Learn: 

    • How Julie says psychic and medical intuitive abilities can be learned and trained 
    • How she remotely “scans” the body and interprets information about illness, injury, and healing 
    • How to tell the difference between intuition and ordinary thoughts or emotions 
    • What Julie says happens spiritually during surgery, dreams, and communication with deceased loved ones 
    • How her 12 phases of transition may indicate when someone is approaching death 
    • Why Dave believes intuition and science can overlap, especially in observation, discovery, and consciousness research
