How to Build Muscle WITHOUT Lifting! Biohacker Longevity   : 1362

How to Build Muscle WITHOUT Lifting! Biohacker Longevity : 1362

Your workouts may be doing less than you think, and science now proves why. This episode reveals how to build muscle, improve metabolism, and extend longevity in a fraction of the time using blood flow restriction training and intermittent hypoxia. You’ll learn how to hack your mitochondria for faster recovery, stronger hormonal balance, and better brain performance without the burnout of high-intensity training.

Host Dave Asprey talks with Dr. Sten Stray-Gundersen, PhD, CSCS, one of the world’s leading experts on blood flow restriction (BFR) training and metabolic physiology. With over a decade of research and teaching experience, Dr. Stray-Gundersen has explored how BFR and intermittent hypoxia can improve cardiovascular health, metabolism, and recovery. After earning his doctorate in Exercise Physiology from the University of Texas at Austin, he now serves as an Assistant Professor at the University of South Carolina, where he studies vascular adaptations, cognitive performance, and ergogenic aids. He’s also a B Strong master trainer, developing individualized BFR protocols for athletes, military professionals, and everyday people looking to optimize human performance.


Together, Dave and Sten uncover how BFR and oxygen cycling unlock powerful adaptations in the body’s vascular, metabolic, and hormonal systems. You’ll learn how strategic stress signals can trigger nitric oxide production, enhance glucose uptake, improve insulin sensitivity, and supercharge mitochondria for better energy and anti-aging benefits. They also explore how these methods can naturally boost testosterone, growth hormone, and even libido, all while protecting the nervous system and improving recovery.


This episode dives deep into biohacking, functional medicine, and smart exercise efficiency, from Zone 2 and REHIT training to nitric oxide signaling, fasting, nootropics, and precision supplementation. Whether your goal is longevity, strength, or sharper cognition, this conversation shows you how to get maximum results with minimal time using the principles of Smarter Not Harder.


You’ll Learn:

• How intermittent hypoxia works at the level of partial pressure and why altitude acclimation upgrades mitochondria and performance

• Why hypoxia and muscle contraction increase glucose uptake independent of insulin and improve insulin sensitivity

• How blood flow restriction (BFR) accelerates fatigue with light loads to drive hypertrophy, strength, and vascular adaptations

• How BFR and hypoxia influence testosterone, growth hormone, nitric oxide, and libido through short, targeted stress

• The roles of ENOS, INOS, and NNOS in nitric oxide signaling and what that means for circulation and brain perfusion

• Who benefits most from BFR, including athletes, rehab patients, and older adults who cannot lift heavy

• Why BFR produces systemic and “proximal” gains, including carryover to glutes and upper body during lower limb training

• How to stack BFR with Zone 2, REHIT, and vibration plates for VO2 max, muscle, and time efficiency


Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade brings you the knowledge to take control of your biology, extend your longevity, and optimize every system in your body and mind. Each episode delivers cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, biohacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living.


New episodes are released every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday (BONUS). Dave asks the questions no one else will and gives you real tools to become stronger, smarter, and more resilient.

Walter Crinnion: Toxicants Role On Fertility, Weight Gain & Mental Health #265

Bulletproof Radio welcomes Walter Crinnion, a Naturopathic Doctor with over 30 years of medical experience and an expert in the field of environmental medicine. Walter shares how excessive environmental toxicants are leading to autism, autoimmune diseases and weight gain and what to do about it. Walter Crinnion received his Naturopathic Doctor degree in the first graduating class from Bastyr University in 1982 and went on to develop the most comprehensive cleansing facility in North America in the Seattle area. Individuals at the facility were able to reduce their body burden of environmental toxicants and recover their health - with spontaneous remissions of all autoimmune disorders, certain cancers, chemical sensitivity, fibromyalgia, Parkinsonism and even ALS. Dr. Crinnion has been a faculty member at four different Naturopathic Medical Schools and was the founding department chair for Environmental Medicine at the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine (Tempe, AZ) from 2003-2013. He now focuses on training other healthcare professionals in Environmental Medicine. Enjoy the show!

Stephen Porges: The Polyvagal Theory & The Vagal Nerve #264

Stephen Porges comes to Bulletproof Radio to share his pioneering research on the vagus nerve, how the cues it receives play a major role in stress, social behavior and the nervous system and some tips on how to improve its response. Dr. Porges is a Distinguished University Scientist at Indiana University where he directs the Trauma Research Center in the Kinsey Institute. He is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina, Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he directed the Brain-Body Center in the Department of Psychiatry, and Professor Emeritus at the University of Maryland, where he chaired the Department of Human Development and directed the Institute for Child Study. In 1994 he proposed the Polyvagal Theory, a theory that links the evolution of the mammalian autonomic nervous system to social behavior and emphasizes the importance of physiological state in the expression of behavioral problems and psychiatric disorders.
