What are the basic differences between visceral fat and subcutaneous fat?
So you see this guy's belly button there? But he has all this disease inside of his abdomen that shows in the scan the corresponding amount of disease he has. Look what happened to President Biden. So this was him at 2020 and then him 2024. Look at that face. So right there, that's the influence of visceral fat. How much President Biden changed.
Your fat's in the wrong place. You might literally have fat in your liver around your organs and think you look great. And you do look great, but you might not feel as good as you could feel, and you're probably gonna die earlier than you needed to. I am insanely ripped. And that's because I am low fat. In fact, I have the lowest body fat I've had in my life. Around six and a half percent from a family of all obese people.

You're listening to the human upgrade with Dave Asprey. Every breakthrough in human performance comes down to one thing, just changing your state. And right now, the science and the technology and the ancient practices are converging faster than you realize. For 50 years, bad policy and stigma blocked scientific researchers from studying some of the most powerful tools for the human brain. And that just changed. This October, the researchers, the clinicians, the guys, and pioneers in consciousness tech and psychedelics. Are all going to be under one roof in Austin, and you can be there too with me. For the first time ever, I'm hosting and operating Beyond Wonderland. Two full days where you'll learn the science and the practice of changing your state, and you'll get to talk to the researchers doing it.
You'll learn how these tools unlock a version of yourself you didn't know existed. You'll find talks about altered states with or without the psychedelics, a tech haul where you can try the tools yourself, right? Checkout sessions, breath works, ceremony, integration circles, and more. This field is moving really fast, and the people who are here in Austin on October 13th and 14th with me are going to be years ahead of everyone who finds out about this later. Learn more, get your ticket now at wonderlandconference.com. 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.

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.
