In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, we&nbsp;take a deep dive into the exciting topic of peptides—what they are, what they do and ideal dosages. We’ll also introduce you to a brand-new mitochondrial peptide that’s being looked at as a global antiaging molecule.My guest is a board-certified anesthesiologist and fellow-trained interventional pain medicine physician who graduated in the first-ever class of physicians trained and certified in peptide medicine.&nbsp;Dr. Heather Smith-Fernandez founded the Regenerative Institute of Medicine in Naples, Florida. She also founded Peptology™, the study and clinical application of peptides in living beings, both human and non-human.&nbsp;She uses peptides in all areas of her practice, such as regenerative treatments, advanced aesthetics, sexual health, hormone therapy, preventive medicine, and advanced lab testing. She also trains other physicians in specific Peptology™ protocols at her institute.Peptides are the real deal. After using them for a period of time, “There's a noticeable difference in how you feel, how you think, how you sleep,” Dr. Heather says.And while she works with a broad range of peptides, she has her favorites. “I think that my love with epitalon is... I love that peptide. I think it's the most understated peptide in our toolbox and I use it a lot. It has tremendous capability and it works in so many different areas. It's one of the true antiaging peptides, in my opinion, and it promotes better sleep, healthier sleep, much healthier sleep, and when it's used in combination with certain other peptides, you get a synergistic effect. Literally, people can feel their brain getting younger when they're using epitalon regularly.”You’ll find out in this episode why peptides are such a powerful treatment for many health conditions. Their use can improve both your healthspan and lifespan.&nbsp;Enjoy the show! ...

In this episode, my guests Tina Anderson, co-founder and CEO of&nbsp;<a href="https://justthrivehealth.com/" target="_blank">Just Thrive Health</a>&nbsp;and research microbiologist Kiran&nbsp;Krishnan have returned with updated research and new developments in how to treat and care for the human microbiome.Tina is a former lawyer who found her life’s work in the field of natural health by creating a unique probiotic supplement company. Kiran is a research microbiologist with particular interest in gut commensal spore bacteria. “In the gut, diversity is paramount to health,” Kiran says. “Diversity in the gut will dictate how long you live. It has a huge impact on your longevity.”You may know about probiotics, and you may even take them, but do you know why they work and how they support your immune system? Probiotics help immensely. But not just any probiotic—you want to use spore-based. And Tina and Kiran can tell you why bacteria and probiotics are frenemies of the best kind.&nbsp;“One of the things that the spores do is they will flag our own cells that are infected with viruses so that our immune system can recognize them,” Kiran says.And then there are the IgG antibodies that protect the body from infection. “IgG being these intelligent drones that you can send in that go around and find the mold toxin, find the bacterial particles, find the C. diff toxin,” Kiran says. “They neutralize all of these things that are driving the inflammatory process in the gut and get rid of them.”Essentially, the gut steers the ship of your health. As researchers find out more about the human microbiome—how it operates and how it responds—we’re finding solutions to what ails our human body and brain systems.Enjoy the show! … And get more resources and a special offer at&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.daveasprey.com/just-thrive-677/" target="_blank">https://blog.daveasprey.com/just-thrive-677/</a>.

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, you’re going to learn a lot about electromagnetic fields, what they are doing to your health, and what you can do about it.“EMFs are invisible to your eyes and exist in a spectrum of frequencies that include radio and TV waves, microwaves, visible light, ultraviolet light, X-rays, and radioactive elements,” says my guest, Dr. Joseph Mercola, in his new book,&nbsp;<a href="https://emf.mercola.com/" target="_blank">“EMF*D: 5G, Wi-Fi &amp; Cell Phones: Hidden Harms and How to Protect Yourself.”</a>&nbsp;“Some sources of EMFs are natural, such as sunlight, while others are man-made—such as the energy used to cook foods by microwave ovens. These EMFs have demonstrable negative physiological effects, but very few people fully grasp this.”We discuss how important it is that people understand the dangers of EMFs. That can be hard in a world where technology use has become so common.“You have to get over this hump, this reluctance to accept that there could be some harm that you may have to change your behavior if you want to remain healthy and not suffer serious derangement to your precious mitochondria by excessive exposure to these frequencies,” Dr. Mercola says.“There are hundreds of millions of people who have symptoms and they don't even know it's due to EMFs. Chronic exposure at high levels that really can decimate biological health.”Listen on to find out ways you can protect yourself from the everyday dangers of EMFs.Enjoy the show! … And get more resources at&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.daveasprey.com/category/podcasts/" target="_blank">Dave.Asprey/podcasts</a>.

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, my guest is Samuel Veissière, Ph.D., who&nbsp;examines social and evolutionary dimensions of cognition, mental health, and human well-being through a variety of projects. He’s an assistant professor of Psychiatry, co-director of the Culture, Mind, and Brain Program, and an associate member of the department of Anthropology at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.He caught my attention with his recent article in Psychology Today:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/culture-mind-and-brain/202002/the-coronavirus-is-much-worse-you-think#comments_bottom" target="_blank">The Coronavirus Is Much Worse Than You Think: How COVID-19 is infecting our minds, not our lungs.</a>We’re going to take a look at the coronavirus, formally named COVID-19, from a decidedly different perspective. One that’s worth thinking about.“The human mind is really, really, really bad at estimating the statistical probabilities of anything,” Dr. Veissière says. “And human minds have evolved to specific cravings for different kinds of information, in particular, anything that conveys information about potential threats or danger.”His work as an anthropologist and cognitive scientist includes placebo effects and hypnosis, hyper-sociality in smartphone addiction, social polarization, gender and mental health, and the theoretical study of cultural evolution. He has worked with such varied populations as street children and sex workers in Northeast Brazil, indigenous peoples in the Arctic and the Amazon, children with neurodevelopmental disorders, people who intentionally conjure friendly auditory hallucinations, and Tibetan Buddhist monks in the Indian Himalayas.&nbsp;Dr. Veissière&nbsp;has published broadly on novel theories and experimental findings on the social nature of attention, cognition, mental health, and healing, and on the impact of the internet and new technologies on human sociality and well-being.&nbsp;As a special bonus in this episode, you’ll find out my best hacks to stay healthy while traveling.&nbsp;Enjoy the show! … And get more resources at&nbsp;<a href="https://blog.daveasprey.com/category/podcasts/" target="_blank">Dave.Asprey/podcasts</a>.&nbsp;

Thriving Under Pressure with NBA Star Blake Griffin : 667

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, I sat down (and jumped and bounced) with a global trendsetter, entrepreneur and philanthropist.Steve Aoki is a two-time Grammy-nominated record producer,&nbsp;electronic musician, music executive, DJ,&nbsp;and filmmaker. He’s one of today’s most successful American cross-genre artists, collectively counting 1.5 billion music streams on Spotify, with an additional 2 billion music streams on YouTube.&nbsp;He’s also the founder of a record label, events/lifestyle company, and apparel line called Dim Mak. Since 1996, he’s helped launch the careers of global acts like The Chainsmokers and The Kills, among many others.&nbsp;His success has come through a work ethic for which he is well known. “I wouldn't call myself a creative genius,” Steve says. “I'm a grinder. So, I grind it out. I'll work three times as hard.”“I look at life like that where I can achieve anything as long as I work hard,” he says. “Finding that center, I can be able to approach all these different things that I do. And whether they're successful to other people is not what's important to me. Whether it means something to me is what's important.”Another important part of Steve’s life is the&nbsp;<a href="https://aokifoundation.org/" target="_blank">Aoki Foundation</a>&nbsp;that supports brain science and research with a specific focus on regenerative medicine and brain preservation.&nbsp;We touch on his new a memoir titled “<a href="https://www.steveaoki.com/" target="_blank">Blue: The Color of Noise</a>,” and talk about the ways he maintains his health and energy amid his own force-of-nature life.&nbsp;Enjoy the show!&nbsp;

Grinding it Out, Finding Center and Heading Toward a Neon Future – Steve Aoki : 666

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, I talk with Sarah E. Hill, Ph.D., who leads research in the rapidly expanding field of evolutionary psychology. She’s currently a professor and research psychologist at Texas Christian University studying the effects of hormonal birth control on women.She’s also the author of the book: “<a href="https://www.sarahehill.com/copy-of-book-writing" target="_blank">This is Your Brain on Birth Control: The Surprising Science of Women, Hormones, and the Law of Unintended Consequences</a>.” It’s an enlightening read that verifies what millions of women have always suspected, but no one confirmed for them until now: The pill changes women.“Is the best way to prevent pregnancy to totally rewrite everything that creates the experience of being a who a woman is?” Sarah asks.With more than 50 scientific publications and multiple prestigious research grants to her credit, Sarah has become an authority on the application of evolutionary ideas to human behavior and psychology. She’s been quoted in&nbsp;The New York Times, The Washington Post, Scientific American and The Economist.“Our sex hormones are part of the signaling architecture that our brain using to create the experience of being the person that we are,” Sarah says. “When we change women's sex hormones—which is what we do with the birth control pill—it’s going to change all sorts of activities in terms of psychological functioning.”In our interview, Dr. Hill shares her incredible research findings that has uncovered the many ways that the pill changes women’s brains, bodies and lives.Enjoy the show!&nbsp;

The Birth Control Episode: The Pill Isn’t Bulletproof – Sarah Hill, Ph.D. : 665

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio,&nbsp;I’m hosting a return guest because he’s doing some truly innovative work in the area of human health span and lifespan.&nbsp;James Clement&nbsp;is a lawyer and entrepreneur turned research scientist who has devoted the last two decades to understanding the science of life extension.&nbsp;His new book, “<a href="https://jameswclement.com/" target="_blank">The Switch: Ignite Your Metabolism with Intermittent Fasting, Protein Cycling, and Keto</a>,” is the result of years of scientific investigation that started with a curiosity of the human body’s&nbsp;mTOR/autophagy switch.&nbsp;Autophagy is a natural process that recycles and renews damaged cell parts and removes pathogens to keep us healthy. Like a dimmer “switch,” mTOR can turn autophagy up or down.&nbsp;A switch, James says, that’s at the center of nearly every anti-aging drug, nutraceutical, diet, and health choice that we make.&nbsp;“The purpose of the book is really to go into this molecular biology mechanism inside the cell, which is about as basic as you can get,” James says. “If you're not working these mechanisms properly, then it doesn't matter what your good intentions are, or the practices that you think you're following.”In our interview James gives practical tips on how we can activate autophagy through different regimens, such as calorie restriction, intermittent fasting, very-low-carb diets, exercise, or supplements.&nbsp;When it’s switched up, autophagy restores our natural metabolism,&nbsp;slows the aging process, and helps fend off diseases from diabetes, to cancer, to heart disease.&nbsp;James also is&nbsp;known for his&nbsp;<a href="https://www.supercentenarianstudy.com/" target="_blank">Supercentenarian Research Study</a>, which he started in 2010 and received international attention. Through worldwide scientific collaborations and in his own laboratory, his work focuses on advancing biomedical discoveries.Enjoy the show!&nbsp;

Flip the Switch Up or Down on Autophagy – James Clement : 664

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, my&nbsp;guest explores the underwater world as one of the greatest cave divers on the planet. She is considered this generation’s Jacques Cousteau. Canadian <a href="https://www.intotheplanet.com" target="_blank">Jill Heinerth</a> has gone into places in the world where no one had gone before.“The adventure seeker, the novelty seeker, the sensation seeker isn't necessarily risky in that foolish sort of way,” Jill says. “We're not adrenaline seekers necessarily. It doesn't mean we're dangerous. It doesn't mean were death-wish kind of thing. It just means we're out and interested in stimulation, learning, curiosity, and new things.”She’s dived deeper into caves than any woman in history and set a women's world record for deep cave penetration. She became the first person to dive the ice caves of&nbsp;Antarctica, going further into an underwater cave system than any woman ever.&nbsp;“When I do choose to take risks, I'm very, very careful about assessing risks, trying to prevent as many things that could go wrong, pre-visualizing what could happen underwater, and then ensuring that I have the right training, the right personnel, the right equipment, and redundancy with me, so that I can handle that worst case possible scenario,” Jill says.She’s completed more than 7,500 dives in her career so far and says, “We are capable of so much more than we could possibly imagine.”Considered a legend in the diving community, she's spent more than three decades in submerged caves around the world partnering with National Geographic, NOAA, and various educational institutions and television networks worldwide. She’s also a writer and award-winning photographer and filmmaker who takes a keen interest in the health of our Earth’s oceans.In recognition of her lifetime achievement, Jill was awarded the inaugural Sir Christopher Ondaatje Medal for Exploration. Established by the Royal Canadian Geographical Society in 2013, the medal recognizes singular achievements and the pursuit of excellence by an outstanding Canadian explorer. She also is the first Explorer in Residence for the society.Jill says cave diving is “one of the most dangerous, yet exhilarating, pursuits in the world.” In our conversation, we talk about her adventures underwater and how her survival depends on how she balances risk, fear and the right amount of breathing.“I'm scared all the time,” Jill says, “because I think being scared means that I care about the outcome.”Enjoy the show!&nbsp;

A Lesson in Adventure Hacking: Step Toward Your Fear – Jill Heinerth : 663

In this episode of Bulletproof Radio, my&nbsp;guest is someone who has cracked the code on a fundamental part of how human behavior works when it comes to forming new habits.Behavior scientist BJ Fogg, Ph.D., founded the Behavior Design Lab at Stanford University and is considered the leading scientific authority on habits.“It really is surprising to people how quickly you can form habits,” BJ says, “and there are certain habits that have this transformative impact on you.” There's one habit in particular, called the Maui habit, that he suggests for absolutely everyone. Keep listening to find out how to do it!His behavior model is easy to learn and easy to apply to everyday life…&nbsp;and doesn’t include willpower. “The thing that wires a habit in is not repetition,” BJ says, “it's the emotion you feel when you do the behavior.” He explains that behavior happens when three elements come together at the same moment: motivation, ability, and a prompt.&nbsp;This is going to be the episode that sets you on the path to creating habits that last. Why? Because BJ will introduce you to the science behind forming “<a href="https://www.tinyhabits.com/book" target="_blank">Tiny Habits: The Small Changes that Change Everything</a>&nbsp;” and give you the tools you need to hack your own behavior.“The book does two things at once,” BJ says. “It defines what behavior design is and gives the models and methods of behavior design. Then more specifically, it walks people through step-by-step tiny habits so people can create habits quickly and easily.”Enjoy the show!&nbsp;
