How to Stop Brain Fog After Anesthesia | Biohacker Tips : 1370

Prepare to rethink surgery, healing, anesthesia, and recovery. This episode gives you a complete, high-performance playbook for surgical preparation and accelerated healing, built on biohacking, functional medicine, neuroprotection, and mitochondrial resilience. You will learn how to recover up to three times faster, protect your brain from anesthesia related inflammation, and enter any procedure with the stability and metabolic readiness of an elite performer.

Host Dave Asprey talks with Dr. Cameron Chesnut, a facial plastic surgeon trusted by the world’s high performers. Patients travel from every corner of the globe for his minimally invasive results that look natural, rejuvenated, and untouched. He is known for progressive regenerative medicine techniques, brain safe anesthesia protocols, advanced postoperative recovery strategies, and a personal commitment to performance readiness that mirrors the mindset of elite athletes. His methods bridge functional medicine, metabolism, supplements, sleep optimization, nootropics, and regenerative science to transform the entire surgical experience.


Together, they reveal how to avoid the hidden pitfalls that create postoperative brain fog, inflammation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and slow recovery. You learn how to work with your anesthesiologist, avoid harmful drug combinations, and stack ketones, fasting, NAD, glutathione, stem cell rich fat grafts, IV therapy, and hyperbarics for rapid healing. Dr. Chesnut explains why fillers migrate, why general anesthesia often disrupts cognition, how exogenous ketones stabilize neurons, and how regenerative peptides, ketosis, circadian timing, and nutritional density shift the biology of recovery.


You’ll Learn:

• How Host Dave Asprey prepares his brain and mitochondria before anesthesia

• Why standard anesthesia protocols increase neuroinflammation and cognitive dysfunction

• How to use ketamine and dexmedetomidine instead of benzos, opiates, and amnesia drugs

• Why fillers migrate and how regenerative fat grafting outperforms traditional filler

• How exogenous ketones enhance neuronal stability during anesthesia

• Why hyperbarics, red light, PEMF, and IV therapy shorten recovery time

• How peptides like BPC, GHK copper, and TB4 support tissue repair

• Why metabolic health, carnivore leaning nutrition, and real protein accelerate healing

• How nicotine influences angiogenesis and when it can help

• The real difference between healing fast and healing well

• How to structure your recovery environment for sleep optimization and better outcomes

• Why elite performers treat surgery like an athletic event and prepare the same way

• How to talk to your surgical team so your biology stays protected and optimized

#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.
