Dave’s “Healthy” Foods You Need To Avoid Eating For Longevity! | Dave Asprey

Biohacking is all the rage, but if you’re not doing it correctly, you could wind up causing more harm than good. Overexercising, undereating, and eating too many of the wrong superfoods can have the reverse effect, causing nutrient deficiencies, weight gain, and cortisol depletion. Sometimes less is more, and by toggling our biohacking tools at the right time and intensity, we can get closer to the results we want.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru sits down with Dave Asprey, the “Father of Biohacking,” to discuss optimizing your biology in a way that’s sustainable, smart, and personalized to your uniqueness. Dhru and Dave talk about common misconceptions around superfoods, the dietary staples you need for weight loss, top protein sources, how certain plant foods can contribute to micronutrient deficiencies, why your body (not you!) is programmed to be lazy, how to overcome that laziness, and so much more.

Dave Asprey is an acclaimed entrepreneur, four-time New York Times bestselling science author, host of the top-100 podcast The Human Upgrade, and CEO of Upgrade Labs. Dave has worked with world-renowned doctors, researchers, scientists, and global mavericks over the last two decades to uncover the latest, most innovative methods, techniques, and products that enhance mental and physical performance.
Dave is the founder of Bulletproof Coffee and the Bulletproof Diet, a company named one of the top 20 innovative brands by Fast Company. Dave is a true pioneer in the health and wellness industry and recently unveiled his latest coffee innovation, Danger Coffee.
