And you don't care about food because your cells have enough energy and because the fat shifts something called leptin and ghrelin.

These are things that make you hungry or make you feel full.

And the benefit of all this is that your body still thinks you're fasting because it doesn't recognize energy from fat the way it does from carbs or protein.

So it was a really cool hack and I wrote the first major book on intermittent fasting and cyclical ketosis.

And it actually also had a lot about cold exposure and red light therapy in it.

And these are now the pillars of biohacking.

You hear everyone talking about them, but I'm the OG for that.

It's actually the primary thing.

You do want to avoid inflammatory, ultra-processed foods.

And in my big book on that, you go to daveasprey.com slash roadmap, and there's a one-pager, so you don't have to buy anything.

It's free.

But it just says, look, these are foods that don't cause inflammation in almost anyone.

These are foods that might be a problem for you, and these are foods that are a problem for everyone.

So you just eat the things that don't mess with you.

And one of the categories that I've written a lot about is called lectins.

And you might have heard more recent books like The Plant Paradox about lectins.

Well, lectins are one of the plant toxins that I identified in my work that for some people cause profound cravings and inflammation.

I have a gene for that.

So if I eat chili peppers, which are a member of the deadly nightshade family,

even though it's my favorite food, that's why I had arthritis when I was 14.
