Fasting Is The Ultimate Investment In Your Health & How To Hack It - Dave Asprey

On this episode I interview the father of Biohacking, Dave Asprey. Dave is the Founder & Chairman, Bulletproof. He is a four-time New York Times bestselling science author, with his latest book, Fast This Way, host of the Webby award-winning podcast Bulletproof Radio, and has been featured on the Today Show, CNN, The New York Times, Dr. Oz, and more.

In this episode we talk about all things fasting, even though Dave is one of the first who really popularized the idea of intermittent fasting many years ago back in 2013 with this hugely popular book, The Bulletproof Diet. Although fasting is nothing new, most people don't do it because they think it's so difficult. However, in his latest book, he breaks down all the easy ways to implement fasting into your daily life and make it simple.

We talk about why it's probably the highest ROI for any individual if they want to take control of their health and live longer, how women should modify fasting, fasting and exercise, the myth about calories and calories out, and much much more.

To learn more about Dave, head over to www.daveasprey.com or pickup some his insanely popular Bulletproof coffee (mixing coffee with butter and MCT oil) over at www.bulletproof.com. Dave was one of the first people to talk about mycotoxins (mold toxins) in coffee and they are so prevalent and probably making you feel weak, lethargic, and chipping away at your health. Before Dave, there is no awareness of this dirty secret in the coffee industry, and he's been a huge pioneer not only in the coffee industry, but also bringing to awareness the mold toxicity epidemic that is highly under-diagnosed and misdiagnosed for other autoimmune conditions.
