Try TrueDark glasses: https://truedark.comTry Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/Try Suppgrade Labs: https://shopsuppgradelabs.com/If you're eating clean, taking the right supplements, and still feel exhausted and mentally foggy - the problem isn't your protocol. Your body has a built-in cellular cleanup system that determines whether any of those inputs actually work, and right now it's almost certainly switched off. In this video, I break down what that system is, how chronic stress and all-day eating suppress it without you ever feeling it, and the specific compounds that flip the longevity switch back on through independent biological pathways that nothing else touches.Thank you to our sponsors!ECHO Water | Go to http://echowater.com/daveand use code DAVE10 for 10% off your ECHO Flask.EMR-Tek | https://www.emr-tek.com/DAVE and use code DAVE for 40% off.iRestore | Reverse hair loss at www.irestore.com/DAVE and get exclusive savings on the iRestore Elite, use code DAVETimestamps:0:00 – The Longevity Switch0:47 – Why Mitochondria Matter2:28 – What Mitophagy Is2:46 – How Mitophagy Works4:18 – What Shuts It Off8:54 – The Damage Compounds9:22 – How to Turn It Back On10:31 – Signal 1: Fasting11:48 – Signal 2: Exercise (REHIT)12:30 – Signal 3: Cold Exposure13:22 – Signal 4: NAD+14:29 – Signal 5: Urolithin A and SpermidineConnect with Dave Asprey!Website: https://daveasprey.comTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@daveaspreyofficialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dave.asprey/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Daveaspreyofficial/X: https://x.com/daveaspreyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/daveaspreybprThe Human Upgrade Podcast: https://www.instagram.com/TheHumanUpgradePodcast/ https://m.facebook.com/Thehumanupgrade/Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/DAVE15Dave Asprey’s BEYOND Conference: https://beyondconference.com/Dave Asprey’s New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/Dave's favorite supplements: https://www.shopsuppgradelabs.com/discount/DAVE15Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com40 Years of Zen: https://40yearsofzen.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
What this episode covers
Your body's built-in mitochondrial cleanup process (mitophagy) is being silently suppressed by modern stress, eating habits, and aging, but you can reactivate it through fasting, high-intensity exercise, cold exposure, NAD+ supplementation, and compounds like urolithin A and spermidine.
