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.

Wired to Lead the Neobiological Revolution – Jane Metcalfe : 1025

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… the guest is one of the founders of Wired Magazine and someone who has been a continuous source of interest, news and data for decades, Jane Metcalfe. Having basically dissected nerds for her entire life, Jane now runs a fantastic newsletter and news site called NEO.LIFE where she writes about biohacking and the future. If you were to combine someone who really understands society and understands tech (and has read as much science fiction as possible) you would have Jane. Jane’s, focus throughout her, career has been on how technology is transforming our world. But now she is fascinated with how deeply we can see inside the body and how processing the data we collect allows us to discover new cells, understand complex biological systems, and engineer bacteria, viruses, DNA, and ultimately ourselves. Her new platform, NEO.LIFE is for exploring how we Homo sapiens will use these technologies and new understandings to power our own evolution.

Is Remaining Curious the Key to Life, Science and Everything? – Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar : 1020

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™... I am honored and grateful to bring you a conversation that I recorded in person with Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar at the Art of Living Center in Los Angeles. Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is a leader of an international movement with more than 50 million followers who do breathwork every single morning. He has worked for 40 years as a global ambassador for peace at the highest levels. I did his breathwork exercises every morning without fail for five years while fixing my mind, body and nervous system, and I have a huge amount of respect for his work in the world. It was a joy to chat with him in person and his childlike curiosity, enthusiasm for teaching, and deep understanding of the world are echoed in every word of this episode. Gurudev is a true visionary, so I am grateful that he set aside time to talk with me so I could share his wisdom with you. Watch this episode on YouTube!WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS. CHECK THEM OUT!

Exploring Human Potential, Sciencing Spirituality, and Getting Intense – Danica Patrick Interviews Dave Asprey : 1019

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™...I do something different. Over the past 1000+ episodes, I have spent a lot of time talking and learning from my guests, but I have heard over and over that you would like to hear more from me about what I am doing, trying and thinking. Well, that can be awkward to do sitting alone in front of a microphone. A while ago, Danica Patrick interviewed me and it is one of my favorite podcast interviews ever. Danica did a great job of digging into why I do what I do, why I think the way I think, and best of all she allowed me to talk about parts of my life that I have never talked about anywhere else. So, Danica has kindly allowed me to drop that episode from her podcast, Pretty Intense, right here on the Human Upgrade.You are going to learn a lot from the episode. We hit on a lot of pretty next-level stuff - our conversation even allowed me to dig into the concept of old souls (or reincarnation), and how that affects our current life.Danica is a fascinating person and an excellent interviewer.

Upgrade Spotlight: Connecting Ketones, Metabolism & Energy – H.V.M.N. : 1018

H.V.M.N. sponsored this episode.IN THIS “UPGRADE SPOTLIGHT” EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…Metabolic biochemist Latt Mansor, Ph.D., joins the show from H.V.M.N. (Health Via Modern Nutrition), where he leads research for the company. He’s an expert in metabolism who consults with elite sport, military, clinical and research organizations. As a key biomarker of metabolic health, ketones are a source of fuel for your brain and body. They’re different from glucose and fat—and more efficient. Learning about the different kinds of ketones and how they work can help you both understand and harness their power. This discussion explains exogenous ketones, BDO-specific ketones BHB and ketone esters. You’ll also find out how to measure your ketones and why it’s important.Ketones have been shown to be anti-inflammatory. Another benefit happens during exercise. The increase in your ketone levels directly increases BDNF (brain-derived nootropic factor). When you raise ketones, you have a more flexible brain.Latt gets into the research behind H.V.M.N.’s development of drinkable ketones to improve performance.
