What is biohacking and why is it important?
I have the average response time in my brain of an 18 year old.
How does mindset affect biological aging?
Dave Asprey is an entrepreneur, the father of biohacking, and there's literally not a more qualified expert in the world on this topic.
It's silly to run a business and not manage your biology. Your body is lazy by design, and the flip side of laziness is efficiency. You're just wasting time in the gym. Being fit is important, but it does not follow that spending more time in the gym makes you more fit. If you can learn to recover faster than mother nature intended, you can do way more in your life. And that's what biohacking really is about. Now I have the body I want without a lot of work because if you do that, you're captain of your own ship and it changes everything.
What are the benefits of biohacking for entrepreneurs?
How would you approach going to the gym?
What you would do is you would, and then you make sure of animal protein right after you work out.
What should we know about meat?
Grass-fed red meat is the healthiest meat that most people can eat.
What's the most unconventional thing that you're doing right now to achieve your age goal?
Wow, I do everything.
Yeah, fam, are you struggling to find the willpower and the energy you need to get things done? How would you like to do less but get even better results? Well, my guest today is going to tell us how, and it all starts with using your own laziness to your advantage. Well, I'm so pumped to hear from the goat of biohacking himself, Dave Asprey. Dave Asprey is an entrepreneur, the father of biohacking, and the author of books like Bulletproof Diet, Superhuman, and most recently, Smarter Not Harder. I first talked to Dave back in episode 149 about his biohacking journey and his advice on diet and fasting. Today, he's going to share with us some of his latest and most innovative biohacking insights, including how to take control of your body's operating system and maximize your own performance using minimum effort. I can't wait to jump right in with the goat of biohacking himself, Dave Asprey. Dave, welcome to Young and Profiting Podcast.
I'm happy to be here.
I am so pumped to speak with you. You are the father of biohacking. You literally invented the term and there's literally not a more qualified expert in the world on this topic. So, so happy to have you here. So we last talked three years ago on the podcast, which feels like such a long time ago.
Why is laziness a powerful tool for productivity?
And I think the most memorable part of the interview is when I called you by your biological age and you told me that I was ageist. And you mentioned that you are a 48 year old who aligns with being 28 years old because you believe you will live to be at least 180 years old. And at the time you were 28% of your goal. And so, like I mentioned three years ago, there was AI, but nobody was really talking about AI even like we didn't even mention it one time in the conversation. So I'm curious to know how old do you think you're going to live to now?
I am sticking to at least 180. And it's funny, there are a group of people in the longevity field who are kind of afraid of death. And it's like, I'm never going to die. And look, the universe is going to end at some point. I'm willing to wait around until that. And I don't think 180 is an upper limit. I just think it's 50% better than our current best. And this week, I celebrated my 29% birthday. So I just look at my birthdays now as a percentage of my minimum acceptable duty life. And I think that has an effect on the cells themselves. There are interesting studies where they'll take really old people and they'll make a special like a hotel with all the TV shows and all the furniture from when they were young. And then their biological markers of aging go down.
So I just keep reminding myself, like, I'm somewhere in my mid-30s or less, and that's how I see the world. And I was only kidding when I said you were ageist. But the idea here is there are people out there who have the attitude, they have the brains of being 32 years old, and they might be substantially older than that.
