What is the quick‑fire intro and why does Dave emphasize mineral foundations?
I'm Dave Asprey. That's Dave Spell D-A-I-V-E. And this is your 10-minute weekly upgrade on the biggest stories in biohacking, longevity, and the world of health. Let's go. You can be health conscious, doing everything right, and still feel like garbage. And the reason is almost always the same: mineral deficiency. And not because you're not trying, because modern soil is depleted. Crops today have up to 40% fewer minerals than they did 50 years ago. Your food isn't what it used to be. But here's the part nobody talks about. Nutrients don't work in isolation. Minerals and fat-soluble vitamins D, A, K, and E work together in your body. Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. K2 makes sure calcium goes into your bones, not your arteries.
You need magnesium to activate vitamin D so your body can use it. Without these nutrients present together, your system doesn't run efficiently. You might as well flush money down the toilet. That's exactly why I created Dake and Minerals 101. D3, A, K2, E, and a full mineral stack designed to work together because that's the only way any of it actually works. Cold plunges, red light, sauna, you can do it all, but none of it matters if your foundation is broken. Fix the foundation. Grab your Dake and Minerals 101 Duo at shopsupgrade labs.com and use code DAVEPOD for 15% off today. I've been saying this for years. Sleep is the single highest return on investment in your longevity stack. Not your morning routine, not your supplements, sleep.
And most high performers are still treating it like an afterthought. What I keep seeing in high performers is a stress and nervous system problem. Cortisol stays elevated, GABA signaling gets suppressed. Your brain keeps running long after your body is done. No amount of Intention fixes that. That is exactly what I built Quiet Mode from Subgrade Labs to address. Seven clinically studied ingredients across five biological pathways to calm your nervous system, bring your cortisol load down, and support the deep restorative sleep your biology was designed for. No melatonin, no dependency, no groggy morning. Two capsules during the day to take the edge off, four before bed to actually sleep. Your brain sharper, your recovery faster, every other supplement finally doing what it's supposed to because your sleep is no longer the weak link.
This is the piece most people are missing. Fix it, and everything else changes. That is quiet mode. Shop quiet mode at shopsupgrade labs.com and use code DAVEPPOD at checkout for 15% off. What if the most powerful tool against cancer wasn't a drug at all? But a virus. And what if the most dangerous thing happening in teenage mental health right now isn't social media? It's a chat bot pretending to be a therapist. This week there was no shortage of interesting news to cover. So let's start with this. Researchers injected a virus, an engineered one, directly into pancreatic tumors in three patients. The virus went in, replicated inside the malignant cells, basically blew them up from the inside, and appeared to trigger an immune response that stopped tumor growth and spread.
And here's the part that caught my attention. This was a safety study, meaning they were using an intentionally low early dose to establish tolerability, and it still did something. I've been watching oncolytic viruses for a long time. This is not new science, but it's been stuck in the lab for years precisely because of how hard pancreatic cancer is to crack. The tumor builds this dense biological wall around itself, suppressing your immune system and laughs at most therapies. What these engineered viruses do is sneak past that wall and then light up the tumor in a way your immune system can finally see. The fact that a low safety dose produced a measurable response, that tells me the mechanism is real.
I think we're watching the early innings of something that could be genuinely transformative for one of the deadliest cancers we have. Next up, a new survey data shows that roughly one in five adolescents and young adults, about 19%, are now going to AI chatbots when they feel sad, anxious, nervous, or stressed.
