The Weight Loss Lie Dave Asprey Says Is Keeping You Stuck

In this episode of BioHack-It, I sit down with Dave Asprey, founder of Bulletproof and the creator of the biohacking movement, to challenge some of the most dangerous health advice we’ve all been taught.

‍

Dave explains why “eat less and work out more” is bad advice, how your nervous system and mitochondria actually control weight, energy, and focus, and why willpower almost always fails. We talk about chronic fatigue, inflammation, trauma, and the biological reasons so many people feel anxious, exhausted, and stuck despite doing everything “right.”

‍

We also dive into supplements, why modern food is nutrient depleted, the truth about biohacking for women, psychedelics and altered states, relationships, boundaries, longevity tools like gene therapy and stem cells, and what real optimization actually looks like.

‍

This conversation is about energy, freedom, and building a body and mind that actually work for you.

‍

Topics include: biohacking, weight loss, metabolism, mitochondria, nervous system regulation, supplements, longevity, psychedelics, trauma healing, relationships, boundaries, fasting, nutrition, consciousness, Dave Asprey.
