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

#44: Salt and self-experimentation with Greg Pomerantz

For Greg Pomerantz everything is a science experiment. He takes citizen science to a personal level by biohacking his blood pressure and detailing his data. He blogged about his self-experiment research on salt clarifying some concerns he had about salt’s effect on the body. He determined what his salt type is, either one is salt sensitive, or one that isn’t affected much by increases in salt. He discusses how to do that in today’s podcast.

#42: Alderspring's Glenn Elzinga, Grass-Fed Beef and a Bulletproof Protein

With training in forestry and forest ecology, Glenn Elzinga began his forestry career in Maine. In the mid 1980s, he moved to Salmon, Idaho where he worked as District Forester for the Salmon BLM for over a decade. As his family began to grow, he realized he wanted a better way to raise kids than leaving them for work all day. So began his current career in ranching. After ranching for 17 years, Glenn's cattle herd has grown from 7 head to over 600. He keeps his hand in forestry by working with his wife, Caryl, on consulting projects and by horse-logging occasionally with his two Belgian mares, Pet and Pat. He hopes to train his new draft Suffolk geldings, Red and Snap, to log as well.

#39: Hormone Alchemy (+ Why Hard Data is HOT)... How to Amplify the Positive Neuro-hormonal Dashboard with Dr. Sara Gottfried MD

#39: Hormone Alchemy (+ Why Hard Data is HOT)... How to Amplify the Positive Neuro-hormonal Dashboard with Dr. Sara Gottfried MD

Dr. Sara Gottfried is a Harvard doc, biohacker, and yoga-powered champion of your health, happiness and hormonal equilibrium. She’s also seen 20,000 patients in the past 20 years and applied her training as a MIT bioengineer to how women and men can leverage the upstream and downstream mediators to create natural hormone balance with next gen medicine, and wrote a book about it, called The Hormone Cure: Reclaim Balance, Sleep, Sex Drive, and Vitality Naturally with The Gottfried Protocol (Simon & Schuster, 3/12/13) She biohacked her own happy hormones and happy brain chemicals as a 30-something stress case battling McMedicine, PMS, and low sex drive. She was offered Prozac and a birth control pill for her misery by her primary care physician, and that was a defining moment that allowed her to step from her darkest hour into the grace of biohacking bliss. The main culprit: CORTISOL. It took her 4 weeks to get her crazy-high cortisol down to the Goldilocks position of not too high and not too low, and she applied that learning and refined her protocol on her next 10,000 patients over the next 10 years. Results were staggering: Dr. Sara could neutralize cortisol, what she calls the “bad-boyfriend” hormone in 1 minute. She reversed insulin resistance in 48 hours. She got estrogen back into it’s rightful place, and thyroid, inside of 2 weeks. She believes knowledge is power, science is sexy... and, oh yes, actionable needle-moving solutions are hot. Listen in for our dialogue about cutting-edge science, and crazy-lovin’ solutions -- for men and women.
