21 Jan 2025
What if I told you that right now, inside every cell of your body, there's a 2-billion-year-old battle being fought that could be the key to your energy, mental clarity, and overall health? In this groundbreaking conversation with biohacking pioneer Dave Asprey, we uncover the fascinating connection between toxic mold exposure and mitochondrial function that's revolutionizing our understanding of human performance. The reality is 90% of chronic fatigue cases trace back to toxic mold exposure. Understanding this ancient cellular battle could be the key to unlocking your peak performance!

Full Episode
I got the scan, and when I walked back into his office, he was kind of white, and he looked at me and he said, Dave, I thought there was nothing wrong with you. When I see your brain scan, he said, inside your brain is total chaos. I don't know how you're standing here in front of me.
It was chemically induced toxic mold brain damage that different toxins or nutrient deficiencies cause problems in the brain. All driven by this mold toxicity. Well, by mold and MTHFR, which makes mold worse. It literally just blew my mind. Oh, there's more.
Before I was 30, I had most of the diseases of aging, arthritis, high blood sugar, prediabetes, high risk of stroke and heart attack, in part because I was constantly inflamed because I was sleeping in a moldy bedroom. So I went on this path of saying, how do I get rid of this stuff? And it turns out that it's all mold poisoning mitochondria. So what do you do? What did you do?
If you have mold, you got to bind the toxins. You got to get rid of the mold growing in your body. And you should do some ozone therapy. And you should take the supplements that allow you to methylate. If you do those things, you're probably going to get better. What are the people watching this do?
Where do they start? They get a mold test. Everything pops red. This is going to shock you, Gary. Hey guys, welcome back to the Ultimate Human Podcast. I'm your host, human biologist, Gary Brekka, where we go down the road of everything anti-aging, longevity, biohacking, and everything in between.
And today I'm blessed enough to sit with the father of biohacking, someone who has, unbeknownst to him, been a mentor of mine for many years. I've read a lot of his books, followed a lot of his teaching. He really opened my eyes to the entire world of biohacking and longevity and anti-aging and life extension. He's a vast world of knowledge. We had just had an incredible podcast together.
So welcome to The Ultimate Human, Dave Asprey.
Gary, it was an honor to get to interview you on The Human Upgrade and an even bigger honor to be on your show. I've been watching all the things you're sharing. I just love it when you talk about MTHFR, which has been a big part of my biohacking journey as well. So kudos for just teaching millions of people the stuff that matters.
Thank you so much, man. You know, I... I've been just fascinated, like I have this childlike fascination with human biology and human physiology and just human optimization and performance. And you clearly do too. I think you were the one that really drew my attention to inside the cell, through the cytoplasm, down into the mitochondria. You've written books on bio-optimization. And I think...
