Host Dave Asprey sits down with world-renowned brain coach Jim Kwik, bestselling author of Limitless and advisor to billionaires, athletes, and Hollywood performers. After being labeled “the boy with the broken brain” as a child, Jim transformed his life through functional medicine, nootropics, cold therapy, neurorehab, and smart supplementation. He’s now the go-to expert on learning how to learn, with cutting-edge insights on memory, speed reading, focus, and cognitive recovery.


Together, they reveal the most effective supplements for brain optimization, how to stack smart drugs with sleep optimization, the surprising downside of alpha GPC, and why things like ketosis, mitochondrial support, and even Danger Coffee are essential for modern cognition. You’ll also hear why your brain speed depends on your metabolism, the forgotten science of post-traumatic growth, and how to combine breathing, fasting, and cold therapy for massive neuroplasticity gains.


Jim also shares his Brain Animal system, a new way to personalize your learning, decision-making, and communication based on your unique cognitive style. From performance to parenting, he shows how your “brain type” influences every part of life and how to hack it for focus, clarity, and flow.


This episode is packed with high-impact strategies for biohacking your brain, improving human performance, upgrading memory, and building real resilience using smarter not harder protocols.


You’ll Learn:

• What Jim Kwik takes daily for brain speed, cognition, and mental stamina

• The exact nootropics Dave Asprey uses (and the ones he avoids)

• How sleep apnea nearly destroyed Jim’s performance and how he hacked it

• The connection between mitochondria, memory, and metabolism

• Why brain inflammation blocks focus and cognitive clarity

• When to use cold therapy, hyperbaric oxygen, and stem cells for brain repair

• How to know if your brain needs more acetylcholine and what happens if you overdo it

• The best biohacking tools for focus, speed reading, learning, and flow state

• Why your brain animal determines how you learn, lead, and connect

How To Boost NAD, The Coenzyme of Life: Charles Brenner : 491

How To Boost NAD, The Coenzyme of Life: Charles Brenner : 491

This episode of Bulletproof Radio is all about living longer, better with the help of NAD (the coenzyme of life). Like Dave Asprey, Dr. Charles Brenner is someone who has really dug deep into what's going on in our mitochondria and is a total badass on all things related to cellular health.Charles is an expert on NAD and NADH and co-discovered something called Nicotinamide Riboside, which is one of the few compounds out there that can boost NAD in your body. And that is important if you are interested in aging better.If you can get your NAD levels up via any pathway possible - whether it is from exercise, eating the right things, or taking supplements - it is absolutely worth your time and attention if you are interested in living a more capable life for a longer period of time.Enjoy the show!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Biohack to Win. Nick Foles : 489

Biohack to Win. Nick Foles : 489

Yes, Nick Foles is the Super Bowl MVP for the Eagles, but in this episode of Bulletproof Radio he goes into why it is okay to lose. "If your identity is in winning you're eventually going to struggle."Nick is one of the most humble performance focused amazing people I've had the opportunity to interview. I spent time with him in person but in this episode you'll hear about his mindset, how he includes a spiritual practice, his take on food, and all the other things he does to be at the top of his game. Including his approach to failure. You'll hear about how he pretty much got burned out and was thinking about leaving the game and how he stayed motivated and what he does to build this incredible resilience. You'll also hear about something called POTS that his wife Tori is dealing with, which is a really common problem, much more common than people know about and we go into some details about what happens if your blood pressure suddenly fluctuates and drops during the day so your brain has no oxygen. I just found him to be a fantastic human being with this amazing attitude and a pretty high level of accomplishment!
