Ep. 158
ā€¢

In this weekā€™s episode, Amrit interviews Dave Asprey, the "Father of Biohacking" and CEO and founder of Bulletproof 360, Inc, a high performance coffee and food company. 


Dave is the host of the Webby award winning podcast Bulletproof Radio, the creator of the global Bulletproof Coffee and the Bulletproof Diet, a two time New York Times bestselling science author and the author of his recent book ā€œFast This Wayā€ available January 19th, 2021. 


Amrit and Dave talk about Daveā€™s brand new captivating book on fasting, a book that gives you the best tools and techniques to make the most out of your fasts and your personal biology, promoting overall health and living life to the fullest.


Fasting can be risky, and if itā€™s not done correctly, you may feel like youā€™re starving yourself and not getting any benefits. However in this chapter of Inspired Evolution, Dave dives deep into a proper and healthy way to do it.


Dave explains what he means by ā€œBiohackingā€, why you need to tap into the power of your biology and how you can get into a spiritual state and into the next level.


They talk about the importance of fasting, explore the hidden benefits of fasting as well as spiritual ones, what to avoid when starting out a fast, and how to apply ā€˜fastingā€™ to every area of your life. 


They discuss the many different types of fasting and fasting hacks, how you can begin fasting in an easy, yet effective, way, about supplements to support fasting, about the importance in healing the gut and how to do it and what fats can be used that wonā€™t defer in the benefits of fasting.


Furthermore they converse about Daveā€™s astonishing experience fasting for four days in a cave.


Dave recommends you to forget everything you think you know about the ancient practice and will take you on a journey through pioneering science to examine the ways fasting beginners and intermittent fasting loyalists can flip their relationship with food and upgrade their fasting beyond calorie restriction.
