[03:10] We Need More People Who Are Curious and Less Polarization There's an enormous number of really, really angry calorie counters. They are angry because they’re hungry. Unfortunately, many calorie counters have an interest in punching someone who disagrees with them. These people will punch with their keyboards. While some vegans are so vehement because of some type of trauma they experienced. Then, keto people believe they can’t have any carbs. People are doing anything they can think of to drive a wedge. We need a group of people who are willing to be curious and experiment. [10:10] Dave Loves Banning Trolls on Social Media Who Are Angry About Fasting Dave has taught 70,000 people how to do intermittent fasting for free. Check out the Fast This Way Challenge: https://daveasprey.com/fast-this-way-challenge/. People can go twenty-four hours without being hungry. Dave bans people from his social media channels who are shrill, angry, and tiny-minded. When you ban angry people, you will be left with a peaceful space for inquiry and curiosity. [13:10] Stop Consuming Omega-6 Oils! Two Years Later, Your Body Will Recover There are things you do that make you weak, and things you do make you strong. The first thing you need to do is stop eating omega-6 oils: canola, soy, and corn. Your cell membrane is actually a whole bunch of tiny droplets of fat. It changes composition based on what you eat. Once you cut the oils out and two years have gone by, half of your cell membranes will have turned over and been made out of more stable, healthier fats. If you put butter and MCT in your coffee, you won’t need as much of it after two years. [18:25] Dave Gives Recommendations For Eating Out At Restaurants While Traveling When eating at a restaurant, you must assume your food is being cooked in vegetable oil. Dave is known for carrying grass-fed butter in his bag and whipping it out at restaurants. When you travel, bring protein powder and amino acid powder. When you’re out at a restaurant, you won’t have to worry about what to eat. You can go 24 hours without eating, and you have protein powder if you need it. Dave eats a lot of sushi; it’s clean food. [26:15] Dave Gives His Thoughts on Fish Oil and Why You Should Never Overdo It You don’t want too much fish oil. There's plenty of evidence that small doses of fish oil are good for you. Dave takes a gram a day. He weighs about 230 and is around 12% body fat. If you’re pregnant, you need to dose DHA heavily. Your body will store DHA in your butt and your thighs. It will preferentially donate that DHA to your baby. Remember, large doses of DHA are inflammatory, and your body can’t handle it. [34:00] It’s Time To Cut Out Artificial Flavors and Remember That All Plants Are Not Your Friends We underestimate what glyphosate contamination and things like food colorings, dyes, and artificial flavors do to our brain and hunger hormones. You need to cut out artificial flavors and dyes. Plants are not all your friends. If you go outside and just take a bite of the first plant you see, you'll probably die or at least get hospitalized; plants are inherently toxic to us. Oxalic acid from kale and raw spinach is a major cause of kidney stones and gout. Remember, different people have different sensitivities. [38:35] Junk Light Is Impacting Your Health - Get TrueDark For Better Sleep The circadian clock that tells all your organs to work together simultaneously is set primarily by light. That’s why Dave created TrueDark: Get True Dark glasses here: https://amzn.to/3NobA4g TrueDark wearers experience better concentration and deeper sleep when wearing their patented lenses. His glasses will help with sleep quality, increased sleep length, increased focused performance, and decreased eye fatigue. [47:50] About Danger Coffee and The Importance of Remineralizing Your Body Everyone needs more trace minerals. Regular coffee depletes your body of minerals and electrolytes, making you feel tired. While on the other hand, Danger Coffee remineralizes your body with more than 50 trace minerals, nutrients, and electrolytes. Get Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/ AND MUCH MORE!
