Host Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Brennan Spiegel, a Professor of Medicine and Public Health at UCLA, Director of Health Services Research at Cedars-Sinai, and author of Pull: How Gravity Shapes Your Body, Steadies the Mind, and Guides Our Health. A leading voice in digital health and immersive medicine, Dr. Spiegel brings decades of clinical and research experience exploring the intersection of the gut-brain axis, neuropsychology, and mind-body medicine. In this episode, he reveals why gravity influences everything from gut health to depression — and why modern medicine has largely ignored its role. His work bridges functional medicine, neuroscience, and biohacking to uncover a hidden force that shapes human performance at every level.


You’ll Learn:

• Why gravity is the most ignored biohacking signal in human health

• How gravity intolerance shows up as back pain, fatigue, obesity, and depression

• The surprising connection between gravity, serotonin, and mood regulation

• How weighted vests, balance boards, and proprioception training hack graviception

• Why sleep optimization, posture, and fascia resilience are gravity-based health tools

• How Earth’s pull influences gut health, metabolism, and even consciousness


You’ll learn how gravity connects to obesity, back pain, blood pressure, serotonin, and even consciousness. Dave and Dr. Spiegel explore how weighted vests, balance boards, vibration, and sleep optimization can hack your body’s response to gravity.


This channel dives into mitochondria, neuroplasticity, fasting, ketosis, supplements, and how biohackers can apply these insights alongside tools like cold therapy, nootropics, and even Danger Coffee to build resilience and extend 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.
