Exploring Human Potential, Sciencing Spirituality, and Getting Intense – Danica Patrick Interviews Dave Asprey : 1019
IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™...I do something different. Over the past 1000+ episodes, I have spent a lot of time talking and learning from my guests, but I have heard over and over that you would like to hear more from me about what I am doing, trying and thinking. Well, that can be awkward to do sitting alone in front of a microphone. A while ago, Danica Patrick interviewed me and it is one of my favorite podcast interviews ever. Danica did a great job of digging into why I do what I do, why I think the way I think, and best of all she allowed me to talk about parts of my life that I have never talked about anywhere else. So, Danica has kindly allowed me to drop that episode from her podcast, Pretty Intense, right here on the Human Upgrade.You are going to learn a lot from the episode. We hit on a lot of pretty next-level stuff - our conversation even allowed me to dig into the concept of old souls (or reincarnation), and how that affects our current life.Danica is a fascinating person and an excellent interviewer.

(Health Via Modern Nutrition), where he leads research for the company. He’s an expert in metabolism who consults with elite sport, military, clinical and research organizations. As a key biomarker of metabolic health, ketones are a source of fuel for your brain and body. They’re different from glucose and fat—and more efficient. Learning about the different kinds of ketones and how they work can help you both understand and harness their power. This discussion explains exogenous ketones, BDO-specific ketones BHB and ketone esters. You’ll also find out how to measure your ketones and why it’s important.Ketones have been shown to be anti-inflammatory. Another benefit happens during exercise. The increase in your ketone levels directly increases BDNF (brain-derived nootropic factor). When you raise ketones, you have a more flexible brain.Latt gets into the research behind H.V.M.N.’s development of drinkable ketones to improve performance.

She's a psychiatrist who specializes in psychosomatic medicine and integrative holistic medicine. Her root-cause resolution approach to psychiatric syndromes and symptoms coupled with other support techniques helps women reclaim their divine feminine power.I previously talked with Dr. Kelly on episode #635 about her book, "Own Your Self: The Surprising Path Beyond Depression, Anxiety, and Fatigue to Reclaiming Your Authenticity, Vitality, and Freedom.” This romp of a discussion tackles women’s power and what it means to claim or reclaim it. And how women themselves can be harmful critics of other women’s choices. Dr. Kelly went through profound personal changes over the past few years that led to changes in her business, too. Changes that rattled some people and brought out the worst kind of social media attention. She talks about how she’s stayed firmly in her choices and offers tips for you to do the same. She also gets into why the differences in feminine and masculine power matter now more than ever. It starts with your relationship with yourself.This fun, informative interview gets a little wild and shares profound insights you can apply to your next life move.Watch this episode on YouTube!WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.
