There’s been a lot of buzz about fasting in recent years, but sometimes it can be hard to tell a true health-promoting practice from a trend that lacks any real science behind it. Well I’m here to tell you today that fasting falls into the first category, with plenty of proven benefits to optimize health and slow the symptoms of aging. Fasting also does more than change the physical body. It’s estimated that 30% of our thoughts are about our next meal. That’s a lot of time and energy wrapped up in food, and fasting can help us regain control of ourselves, our minds, and so much more.
On today’s episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, I’m thrilled to sit down with my good friend and an expert on fasting, Dave Asprey. Dave is the founder and Chairman of Bulletproof 360, a high-performance coffee and food company, and creator of the widely-popular Bulletproof Coffee. He is a three-time New York Times bestselling author, host of the Webby award-winning podcast Bulletproof Radio, and has been featured on the Today show, Fox News, Nightline, CNN, and dozens more. Over the last two decades Dave, the “Father of Biohacking”, has worked with world-renowned doctors, researchers, scientist,s and global mavericks to uncover the latest, most innovative methods, techniques, and products for enhancing mental and physical performance.

You are right doctor.
It’s like your reading my mind, I was actually thinking about intermittent fasting last night.
Questions:
1: Can I do some gentle fasting while pregnant?
2: Can you burn glucose of faster if you do some slow exercise, while fasting, like for example walking?
Are you really telling me that if I eat your way, I’m no longer going to care about politicians having hateful beliefs and harmful voting records?…
Check out Dr Volter Longo…The front runner on fasting … Eyes mind heart and soul wide open no fear…..
sneaking in public company, 20’s, successful does not add t othe conversation but does to one’s ego.
I just can’t warm up to Dave . He seems to be all about the money $$$$ and EGO GOD COMPLEX DRIVEN . I hope I have it ring. No judgment here but I get a bad vibe $$$$ . Eyes mind heart and soul wide open no fear….
For someone that’s supposed to be a life health hacker, Asprey doesn’t look too healthy for his age.
As soon as he mentioned sleep quality I felt validated.
