Host Dave Asprey sits down with world-renowned brain coach Jim Kwik, bestselling author of Limitless and advisor to billionaires, athletes, and Hollywood performers. After being labeled “the boy with the broken brain” as a child, Jim transformed his life through functional medicine, nootropics, cold therapy, neurorehab, and smart supplementation. He’s now the go-to expert on learning how to learn, with cutting-edge insights on memory, speed reading, focus, and cognitive recovery.


Together, they reveal the most effective supplements for brain optimization, how to stack smart drugs with sleep optimization, the surprising downside of alpha GPC, and why things like ketosis, mitochondrial support, and even Danger Coffee are essential for modern cognition. You’ll also hear why your brain speed depends on your metabolism, the forgotten science of post-traumatic growth, and how to combine breathing, fasting, and cold therapy for massive neuroplasticity gains.


Jim also shares his Brain Animal system, a new way to personalize your learning, decision-making, and communication based on your unique cognitive style. From performance to parenting, he shows how your “brain type” influences every part of life and how to hack it for focus, clarity, and flow.


This episode is packed with high-impact strategies for biohacking your brain, improving human performance, upgrading memory, and building real resilience using smarter not harder protocols.


You’ll Learn:

• What Jim Kwik takes daily for brain speed, cognition, and mental stamina

• The exact nootropics Dave Asprey uses (and the ones he avoids)

• How sleep apnea nearly destroyed Jim’s performance and how he hacked it

• The connection between mitochondria, memory, and metabolism

• Why brain inflammation blocks focus and cognitive clarity

• When to use cold therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, and stem cells for brain repair

• How to know if your brain needs more acetylcholine and what happens if you overdo it

• The best biohacking tools for focus, speed reading, learning, and flow state

• Why your brain animal determines how you learn, lead, and connect


Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.

From Sugar in Tea, To Butter in Coffee: Tom Watson’s Weight Loss Story : 542

From Sugar in Tea, To Butter in Coffee: Tom Watson’s Weight Loss Story : 542

Tom Watson is a British politician and deputy leader of the Labour party who recently lost an impressive amount of weight, which he chalks up to giving up on tea with sugar and switching to butter in coffee. That's right, he went Bulletproof. While Tom is predominantly known for his vast political career, this Member of Parliament has recently been put into the spotlight for his weight loss and policies around health.In September 2018, Watson revealed on British television that he had been diagnosed with type-2 diabetes but had "reversed" the condition through the Bulletproof Diet and exercise. He also revealed that he had "battled weight since my early 20s" which means that he and many Bulletproof followers have a lot in common.
