#624 - Living to 180. SMARTER, not Harder with Dave Asprey and Tai Lopez

"There is an invisible consciousness inside of you that controls what you see in the world. And it has a third of a second to take action. So don't believe everything you feel."   These are the words of master biohacker extraordinaire Dave Asprey as he is busting bubbles big time with me, Tai Lopez, on what it takes to live to 180 – and change your outlook on life in the process.   The bubble-busting starts with working 'Smarter not Harder' – the name of Dave's new book – as he vents on our human propensity to gullibly swallow the self-improvement advice we're being fed and waste time exercising, eating kale, and sleeping 8 hours a day when there simply isn't the scientific evidence to back it up.   Veganism, red light therapy, trace minerals, replacing your blood, having stem cells injected into your dick, and the benefits of taking a cow with you to a desert island are all covered in this fascinating insight into the mind of a mad scientist biohacker who, quite frankly, is onto something.    Dave and I go way back and there's a casual tone to this urgent conversation that makes it as palatable as the coffee he is endorsing or the laidback lifestyle he is recommending.    It is no exaggeration to say that this podcast – and the contents of Dave's new book – will be quoted for years to come as the rest of us play catch up. Come and get it!   "What does it profit a man to gain the world but lose their health?" ~ Tai Lopez   “Working hard doesn't get results. That's a false belief instilled in you by churches, by teachers, by coaches, and by people afraid of the fact that our biology is lazy and if we're not in charge of ourselves we are wired by Mother Nature to lay on a couch to make sure we don't use too much energy." ~ Dave Asprey   In this episode: 03:54 - What foods will you bring to a desert island? 06:40 - Debunking the veganism myth — and Masai warriors drinking cow blood 17:07 - The most controversial take on Dave’s new book. 17:42 - Could Dave Goggins and Tim Ferriss be getting better results in half the time? 22:37 - Unpacking Dave’s ‘Slope of the Curve’ myth-busting exercise theory 37:15 - Improving your dick size with stem cell injections 43:38 - What is the simplest piece of biohacking equipment worth owning? 45:46 - The value of red light therapy and fasting hacks  47:42 - What is Dave’s greatest money-making hack? 55:53 - How to raise your IQ by 20 points 1:02:30 - The benefits of blood detoxification   Resources: www.tailopez.com/daveaspreypodcast Connect with Dave Asprey: Website - Dave Asprey: Smarter Not Harder Instagram - Dave Asprey (@dave.asprey) • Instagram photos and videos Connect with Tai Lopez: Website - https://www.tailopez.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
