To kick off this new season of Reset, Renew Revive, we welcome Dave Asprey, the father of biohacking to teach you how to embrace laziness for the best health of your life! Dave invented biohacking because he struggled to lose weight and lacked energy and the cognitive function to feel good in his own body. Since then, he went from 300 pounds to 8% body fat with just a fraction of the effort traditional methods encourage.
The automated systems of your body are just that, automatic and out of your control. The subconscious is primarily concerned with survival which is why you crave food and rest because these are your survival instincts. By embracing that inherent laziness born from energy conservation, you can revolutionize your health with just a 5 minute workout 3 times a week!
To support your body even further, nutrition plays a
key role in enhancing the effectiveness of your efforts. Don’t be
fooled by impressive marketing schemes that are tricking people
into eating foods that don't have the nutrients and minerals your
body needs for prime optimization! In this episode, Dave breaks
down what foods to avoid and what supplements to add to your diet
that will enhance your energy, manage your weight and give you the
best health of your life!

MEMORABLE QUOTES
“What’s happening in that one third of a second?! Well, someone is in charge and even worse; why can’t you see that one third of a second? Who erased it from your consciousness? That’s the guy we’re hacking because it’s not you. It can’t be you because your brain wasn’t active when that happened.” [8:30] - Dave Asprey
“There are specific signals that drive a change in your body and the signal is not how hard you worked. The signal is how quickly you worked hard and very importantly, how quickly you calmed down after you worked hard.” [16:50] - Dave Asprey
“Minerals are big but if you take minerals they won't go where they’re supposed to go and they won’t stay there unless you have Vitamin DAKE that's, D, A, K and E and these are fat soluble vitamins only found in animals, So plant based Vitamin A is not actually vitamin A, it’s a marketing scheme.” [27:39] -Dave Asprey
