How to Build Muscle WITHOUT Lifting! Biohacker Longevity : 1362

In this Episode of The Human Upgrade™...​ Dave talks to David Hinds of Brisbane, Australia, about gut issues and weight loss for men at mid-life. David’s already biohacking, working out, and taking supplements he thinks are the right ones—yet the weight around his mid-section persists.This intervention looks at ways to tackle hard-to-budge love handles and extra mid-section weight with suggestions covering hormones, thyroid, sleep, SIBO, probiotics, supplements, inflammation, the pituitary gland, prolactin, and potassium. This discussion gets into libido and eyesight, too.David’s in his early 50s and a dad to two teenagers. He started biohacking over three years ago when he discovered the Bulletproof Radio podcast (now called The Human Upgrade). He then read Dave’s books, made some life changes, saw the results, and decided 150 years on this rock would be awesome! “So, I'm one-third of the way through life, and my aim is to be in the best physical and mental state possible for all of those years,” he says.Note: The "Interventions With Dave” recommendations are designed to help you upgrade yourself and your biology so you can perform better at everything you do.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… Vincent Pedre, M.D., explains how consuming too much sugar can lead to insulin resistance and diabetes by causing shifts in the microbiome that reduce insulin signaling. He also highlights how omega-6 fats found in processed foods contribute to inflammation and chronic disease by carrying lipopolysaccharide toxins through cell membranes. For over a decade, board-certified internist and Functional Medicine certified practitioner, Dr. Pedre, founder of Happy Gut Life, has helped people improve their well-being and quality of life by building the foundation of gut health that supports total physical and mental wellness. He believes that healing begins in the kitchen through the foods we eat. He brings together years of research and clinical experience to offer you real solutions in his newest book, “The GutSMART Protocol: Revitalize Your Health, Boost Your Energy, and Lose Weight in Just 14 Days with Your Personalized Gut-Healing Plan.”The balance between good and bad bacteria is both important and nuanced—more microbial diversity in the gut is not always better. "The focus should be on metabolomics, not just diversity when it comes to gut bacteria,” Dr. Pedre says. Another focus includes gut interrelationships and the seven big systems in your body affected by leaky gut: skin, airway, brain, joints, energy, metabolism, and immune system.Watch this episode on YouTube!Find all the links and resources in the show notes.WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… An air quality expert explains the impact of your home environment on your health, mold sensitivities, and the remediation process, including DIY tips and professional interventions. You’ll also find out about The Dust Test, which identifies mold, bacteria, and biotoxins in your home so the inspector can remove all sources of contamination.Mold is likely a problem in your home, as it is for many people, and you likely don’t know what to do about it. Every year, mold damages property and costs homeowners money. But worse than that, mold is dangerous to your health, especially if you are one of 375 million Americans who are susceptible to chronic mold sensitivity. With decades of field experience, Michael Rubino, president of HomeCleanse, excels at working with individuals—many of whom are who are immunocompromised—to detoxify their homes and improve indoor air quality. He has helped more than 1,000 families heal from toxic mold exposure so far, and, as he says, this is just the beginning.Through scientific expertise and innovation, Michael developed alternative remediation protocols that eliminate common mold sources and eradicate the contamination caused by those sources.His expert advice in this episode is a go-to resource for anyone worried about an increasingly common problem that can have life-threatening side effects. And his book The Mold Medic can definitely help you breathe easier. SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS: Go to www.thedusttest.com/dave and use code DAVE to get $10 off.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you’ll learn how Functional Medicine expert Jill Carnahan, M.D., who is board certified in Family Medicine and Integrative Holistic Medicine, survived breast cancer, Crohn’s disease, and toxic mold. Her unique healing approach looks to science for answers while also using methods that outright challenge conventional medicine. During the discussion, Dr. Carnahan distinguishes between visible (e.g., cancer) and invisible (e.g., mold toxicity) illnesses. “There's this new term called medical gaslighting where doctors actually say, "Oh, everything looks great," right? And you're not. You're not okay inside,” she says. Her new book, “Unexpected: Finding Resilience through Functional Medicine, Science, and Faith,” explores “positive transformation against all odds.” She shares her own story of confronting life-altering illnesses, fighting for her health, and overcoming sickness using both science and faith. She also shares the experiences of her patients who transformed their health and their lives.Get ready to learn about a new path of empowerment where you can take control of your own health and well-being.Watch this episode on YouTube!Find all the links and resources in the show notes.Get Your Tickets! 9th Annual Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.comDave Asprey’s NEW Book! “Smarter Not Harder: The Biohacker’s Guide to Getting the Body and Mind You Want.” https://daveasprey.com/books/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you’ll learn why many professional athletes, especially fighters, are some of the top biohackers in the world. They hack their bodies, minds, and environments to achieve an incredibly high level of performance. Every hack they do has to be effective—and means the difference between winning and losing. Professional MMA (mixed martial arts) fighter Miesha Tate knows and does just that while adding being a parent and entrepreneur into the mix. Miesha is a former UFC and Strikeforce Bantamweight champion, ONE Championship vice president, and winner of Celebrity Big Brother Season 3. She always draws on her experiences, whether from home birth or competing on the world’s biggest stages as a pro athlete as proof that when the mind and body are functioning with synchronicity, you are capable of great things. After more than a decade of wrestling and MMA competition culminating in her UFC World Championship in 2016, she stepped out of the octagon. “I retired from the sport and it took five years to figure out who I am other than Miesha Tate, the fighter,” she says. “So not only did I go soul searching, but I also went wellness searching.”She found red light to help her recovery and healing, hyperbaric oxygen therapy to restore and protect her brain, and breathing techniques to keep her present and grounded. She learned, too, the importance of mindfulness and attention to self—“to just be alone with your own thoughts.” She says there’s reward and fulfillment in doing something every day that pushes you and makes you a little bit uncomfortable. No pain required.She came back to professional MMA fighting after having two children and changed up nearly everything about her training. This included moving from Bantamweight to Flyweight, which meant reducing her already lean frame by another 10 pounds. She now looks at her body and mind as a comprehensive unit: the big things like hormones, nutrition, sleep and brain health; flow state during her fights; and she even takes on the more elusive soul work. Miesha focuses on empowering women through martial arts, with a particular emphasis on self-defense and building confidence. She’s become an advocate for women in combat sports, using her platform to promote equality and opportunities for women in the sport. She also helps others heal, recover, and discover their potential at Desert Moon Wellness, which she co-founded with two women partners.She lists her three most important things in life as: 1) Family and friends, 2) time, and 3) goals and dreams.Watch this episode on YouTube!All the links and resources are available in the show notes.WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…you’ll learn how much control you can actually have over your brain. There’s a new way of accessing your meat operating system that adds an important element that’s been missing from the brain training conversation. Moha Bensofia joins the show to explain a new piece of neurotech called Mendi. He shares the benefits of getting more blood to the front of your brain.Mendi uses neurofeedback to provide visual feedback based on your brain activity. A headset measures the activity while you play a fun brain-training mobile game. The system uses fNIRS technology to measure blood flow and oxygenation in the pre-frontal cortex of the brain. The brain training game requires focus and calmness, which increases activity and control of your brain’s pathways. By using Mendi, you can learn to control your brain activity and reach greater heights as an entrepreneur, athlete, and professional in any field.Mendi was developed initially for victims of war and trauma, as well as people struggling with anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD. But, as you’ll learn, everyone can benefit from this type of brain training.SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS: Go to https://www.mendi.io and use code DAVE to save 15%.Watch this episode on YouTube!WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.
