The Hormone War Dividing Female and Male Longevity : 1318

The Hormone War Dividing Female and Male Longevity : 1318

Your hormones may be waging a hidden war that determines how long you live and how well you perform. This episode reveals how male and female biology diverge—and what those differences mean for your longevity, metabolism, and brain optimization.

Revisit this episode where Dave Asprey sits down with Teal Swan, a bestselling author and international speaker known for her work on human behavior, healing, and consciousness. Her insights bridge biology and psychology, uncovering how hormones, trauma, and environment shape both performance and resilience. Her ability to decode patterns of narcissism, victimhood, and trust through the lens of functional medicine and human performance makes her one of the most provocative voices in personal transformation.


Together, they explore the science behind the hormonal divide between men and women—why birth control alters not just fertility but also male testosterone, why perception and neurodivergence impact neuroplasticity, and how early trauma imprints mitochondria and metabolism. You’ll learn how fasting, ketosis, cold therapy, sleep optimization, and smarter not harder strategies can shift your biology toward higher resilience and greater longevity.


They also break down the biohacking tools and supplements that can help balance hormones, upgrade mitochondria, and fuel nootropics-level brain performance. From the hidden biological costs of hormonal birth control to how carnivore and targeted nutrition affect both male and female healthspan, this episode gives you a framework for hacking your biology at the deepest level.


This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, hacking human performance, brain optimization, functional medicine, or understanding how masculine and feminine biology directly influence lifespan and resilience.


You’ll Learn:

• How hormonal birth control impacts both women’s fertility and men’s testosterone

• Why victim mentality rewires the brain and reduces neuroplasticity

• How narcissism functions as a biological stress adaptation

• The role of mitochondria, metabolism, and trauma in shaping healthspan

• How fasting, ketosis, supplements, and cold therapy affect hormone balance

• Why balancing male and female energetics may be a key to longevity

#53 Raw Vegan to Bulletproof Meat Eater - a beneficial transformation, with Kristen 'Raw' Suzanne

#53 Raw Vegan to Bulletproof Meat Eater - a beneficial transformation, with Kristen 'Raw' Suzanne

This episode brings to light an ex-vegan advocate’s journey to eating a mostly meat-embraced Bulletproof diet. Kristen ‘Raw’ Suzanne, author, popular blogger, and nutrition researcher, shared her former vegan assumptions, how easy or difficult it was to change, and the ethics of food. We also dove into a detailed conversations about liver meat, fertility issues on a vegan diet, how to stay Bulletproof when traveling with family, and how to nourish your kids the best way possible. In 2005, Kristen walked away from her corporate career in executive-level operations to focus on her true passion: healthy food. Already a vegan for two years, she turned her attention to the raw vegan cuisine and lifestyle, initially teaching classes and providing personal chef services, but as her online audience grew, she ultimately shifted to full-time blogging, recipe development, and eventually publishing 12 books on raw vegan diets. By 2012, concerns with her and her child's health forced her to reevaluate the nutritional claims made by advocates of raw and vegan diets. After Kristen introduced high quality animal products into her family's diet, she saw dramatic improvements almost immediately. Her family now eats a diet high in grass-fed beef and butter, bison, pastured eggs, and wild-caught seafood, while avoiding grains, gluten, and soy. While her personal transformation and conversion from vegan to omnivore has been controversial in the vegan and raw food community, Kristen has been on hiatus from blogging to spend time researching and fully exploring the nutritional and culinary aspects of eating in this new way for her family.

#50 New Bulletproof iPhone App, Food Sensitivities & HRV with Ronda Collier from SweetWater Health

#50 New Bulletproof iPhone App, Food Sensitivities & HRV with Ronda Collier from SweetWater Health

The 50th episode of Bulletproof Executive Radio introduces you to a brand new free iPhone app called Bulletproof(R) Food Sense and to the scientist who made it all happen.  Today’s interview is with long time biohacker and founder of Sweetwater Health™, Ronda Collier. Ronda is putting her more than 25 years of experience in high tech to work at SweetWater Health™, where they are looking at the signal coming from the human heart, and instead of seeing beats per minute or simple heart rate variability, seeing a huge pool of big data just waiting to be analyzed using Ronda’s crazy advanced math skills. There is a lot more information in your heartbeat than you’d think – stress levels are just the beginning. By applying mobile health monitoring and stress management with medical research techniques, SweetWater Health is creating some very advanced, very easy to use biohacking technologies. My experience as a bio hacker who used to weigh 300 pounds and really struggled with food cravings, is that every single person has a set of things in their environment or their food that makes them weak. SweetWater Health and Bulletproof Executive just partnered to create the free Bulletproof(R) Food Sense iPhone app to help you find your personal kryptonite by using the phone’s onboard sensors to detect your hidden food sensitivities.   You can also get an amazingly full-featured version of the app that works with a chest strap to measure and track your heart rate variability all day long and use complex algorithms to quantify your food, stress, and overall health. Click here to download your free Bulletproof Food Sense app from the Apple iTunes store.
