Fast This Way with Dave Asprey

Today on the show we have the Father of Biohacking himself, Dave Asprey. Over twenty-five years ago, Dave found himself overweight, overworked, and an unhealthy entrepreneur in Silicon Valley. He was faced with a choice: improve his health, or live a much shorter life span. That set him on an almost multi-decade journey to not only live, but thrive and share his knowledge with his community. That work lead to him founding Bulletproof 360, a company helping to uncover innovative methods, techniques, and products for enhancing mental and physical performance. Yet it doesn't stop there. He has also written two New York Times bestselling books and is host of the award winning podcast Bulletproof radio. And yes, he is the creator of the global phenomenon Bulletproof Coffee and Bulletproof diet.
In this episode we get into Dave's latest book, Fast This Way: Burn Fat, Heal Inflammation, and Eat Like the High-Performing Human You Were Meant to Be. Some of the topics we over:
* common myths around fasting
* how to exercise while fasting
* how to hack your sleep for increased energy
* how fasting drives mental clarity and can help you live longer
* how variation in what we do creates resilience
* and so much more
Enjoy!

"That voice in your head thinking about food just stops!" That has been my experience after a lifetime obsessed with food. I just cannot believe how good I feel when fasting. I ordered Dave's book and can't wait to read it!

[@ChaseJarvis]

Wow, that's great!

[@JimmyJaxJellyStax]

Yes, been doing IF for months now and now I'm used to eating smaller portions and tighter windows and the food I do eat is a lot more filling. Huge reduction in snacking because it just feels weird now

[@dangriffin607]

Been using Bulletproof for 4 years & love it. Haven’t seen Dave in a few years; but he DEFINITELY looks GREAT. If you think about it; this guy SELLS FOOD & is encouraging the regular use of FASTING.

[@Dtdotson68]

Dave looks BETTER than just 2 or 3 years ago! He is obviously doing something right!

[@karolkupec2044]

Fist time fasting 48 hours I feel fantastic. Can not wait to do it agin, lost 30lbs past 4 month on eating one time per day, another 30 lbs to go, feeling fantastic.

[@ChaseJarvis]

Amazing Karol. Congrats!

[@MrCt40]

Well done 👍 What approach did you use ( what supplemts did you use ? )

[@karolkupec2044]

@@MrCt40 No supplements taken, clean water

[@jcascarelli01cascarelli45]

I have been intermittently fasting (self taught) so happy for someone to help me do it correctly. you are very entertaining which I appreciate.

[@jamesrgerice1222]

Awesome job chase! Bringing out the little nuances in fasting with Dave. Admittedly, I dipped my toes into IF without much of the science as well and the realizations I’ve gotten are amazing!

[@WillKlein]

Chase asked the best questions. I wasn't really into Dave's work besides giving me bulletproof coffee (homemade style), but he really shined in his practical and pragmatic insights. I'm definitely more curious to go back over Dave's interviews and writings more. Another personal takeaway is some reasoning for why various things I've tried work really well but only in moderation. I'm still trying to calibrate how much I fast/exercise/rest. There's so much to unpack just from this interview!

[@lisayarbrough7338]

Agree. I believe that a lot is personal: work life, exercise ability and preference,gender, food availability and taste preferences, gut microbes, etc. I love that these conversations are happening. Personally I love to think about and cook food…..we must enjoy our lives too.

[@KateKarwanBurgess]

The Army does PT (Physical Training) generally starting 0600-0630 M-F before breakfast. Working out first thing in the morning before eating is the norm for thousands of people done for decades. Ordered Bulletproof Coffee and MCT Oil last night. Been doing intermittent fasting for a few weeks. definitely will check out the book.

[@carmensilva3953]

Awesome. Dave Asprey has become one of my favorite no-nonsense experts. Thank you for this valuable information. Not sure I’ll go as far as doing the bone marrow extraction ;) but I’m definitely following his advice and tips on fasting.

[@luccabetta5238]

Love 💕 bulletproof coffee ☕️

[@amanda.strutt]

32 minutes in and went and bought the book on audible. I've been feeling like a change is coming or needed however was feeling unsure on what that would look like. I love the bio hacking and seeing what feels good for oneself + I also love how Dave brought up the whole " I feeling fucking great" ...then after a few months it starts to go wonky. I'm in the wonky phase lol so looking forward to experimenting, listening and observing my own mechanics within it all. Thanks guys!!

[@patriciatagliabue5037]

Dave is AMAZING and all his info WORK for me !

[@kimkane135]

He was great on the Doctor's show the other day when I first heard about his incredible weight loss...I love how he manages to keep the weight off, it works

[@AlexZeBeast]

You both are legends

[@kalimat4018]

Dave is a great author ✍️ real ,,, inspiring 👍🏼

[@Maria-sz2bg]

Amazing questions and beautifully articulated! First time here, and I know not the last! There is so many podcasts out, which for me personally, are not worth the listen, because, having even the best of the best quests will not make it a quality conversation if the questions lacking intelligence.

[@maggielauder5971]

Brilliant interview - deff going to buy his book . Love the way there are different choices - into fasting . I’ve got into the habit of eating before 6 pm and no food untill around 11 pm ( not hungry at all ) didn’t realise I was fasting 😅. 🙌🙏

[@specialkaran]

Great interview Chase! Learned a lot here. Listening to the audiobook now. Thanks 😎

[@ChaseJarvis]

Thx for tuning in!

[@1963tjc]

thank you

[@maryh4614]

Thanks for such a great interview 👍👍👍👍👍

[@hkhelenna]

Greatest interview 👍🏼/ the book is it only in English? If you coming from Sweden where can I by it?

[@pmason3418]

What is your view on collagen? For women. Thank you.

[@lonelycake4114]

Great book

[@privacyplease3627]

Is it available now to dl for free?

[@goobergirl335]

Let’s get to it Half way through This was recommended and I don’t have anything yet

[@SQLUniversity]

You have to love Dave Asprey. BTW, I did do the cold water in the shower on the forehead, and it played out exactly as he described, including me cursing him out, word for word!

[@ChaseJarvis]

ha. Glad you tried it? 🥶

[@jeanneernst4883]

Thank you for adding the bit about women.

[@kathynoggles637]

How often do you do the cold shower thing?.

[@edlainedoron873]

Hey. I love this podcast!! I read the book. I love it. After listen this video, I am concerned about my coffee. I am taking C8 MCT Oil and fed grass butter but my coffee I am not sure. I am afraid I am being toxic to my body, which wouldn’t be helpful. Great job you two!!

[@elishaburd8827]

Stick with organic, if nothing else. Regular coffee is toxic cause of the pesticides used on it.

[@heidivernathorbjrnsen4745]

Do you get a good reaction using caffeine free coffee adding the fats ?

[@skyelincoln7296]

You know, I'm one of those people that literally inch into a cold pool for fear of having a heart attack. Boy, my great great great grandchildren better thank me in person 😂

[@janborkowski9494]

I have never seen the host asking such a looooooong questions

[@goobergirl335]

Ughh

[@Cecilia777100]

I wanted to buy your book after seeing you on This Morning. I have been on Keto for a year and have lost 50 lbs. I have bad eye sight and I play books whilst knitting. Please let me know how I can get an audio book version on Audible please.

[@originsnutritionwithjessim8835]

Hi Cecilia. I use Audible for audio books (just go to audible.com). They have Dave's latest book.

[@raapanui9931]

Is it his voice on the audio book?

[@ideapad7003]

3 fasting hacks: 1. bulletproof coffe instead of breakfast with mct c8 oil 2. prebotic fiber 3. cold water at the end of shower

[@tumblingrosesstudio]

Aftr digging into it and buying some of the Bulletproof prebiotic, learned it's possible to use any resistant starch (most common is inulin, much more avaiable and usually chicory based so plant-baed and well tested) as a prebiotic, they all erment in the gut creating the compounds that are desired to support better health and gut flora!!!! All of them are fiber and will keep you feeling fuller and move the system. I am liking the Bulletproof brand but NOT cheap!

[@susanwilliston2104]

Good information

[@omadoutlaw4868]

Ya,most of what Dave Asprey sells can be haked for a lot less money, but he got us going,🤠 thanks again.

[@carolday3381]

So a question, i don’t like coffee, can the same affects be done with tea? This is a real question as seriously coffee tastes like dirt to me plus like Dave,… i tried a half cup in early 20’s and shook like crazy, thought in was allergic never touched it again. I did not know about the molds. I am allergic to mold, i found that tidbit of info fascinating. Thank you for the video.

[@ChaseJarvis]

Yes works with tea! See Tim Ferriss recipes with tea

[@WheeledandWellArmed]

I do healthy Keto and intermittent fasting 20/4 M2F. Weekends I eat healthy but weekends maybe pizza or ice cream and carbs. I workout 4x weekly and maintain 175lbs after losing 80lbs.

[@ChaseJarvis]

Amazing! Love to hear your hard work is paying off 🙌🏼

[@enermaxstephens1051]

It actually begins at 4:33

[@TCAPRecipes]

I've made it to 18 hours so far.

[@mastapeace593]

I'm doing a 40 day water only fast !

[@LilianAraujo1975]

☺️👏👏👏

[@johnpalinkas5610]

4 days fasting - coffee with clarified butter ( 4 DAYS LAST 12 KG ) Long time ago Dr Mikle Colgan said its impossible.

[@charlesw4702]

I drink a cup of bulletproof coffee every day.

[@michelle4688]

I love his methods and all the knowledge he's shared through his own trials..... the barrage of nonsubtle braggery though..... aaghghghghg

[@libradachiva4926]

[@fionmor4893]

listen to the youtube series of David Sinclair..... he goes more into depth about all of this and MORE

[@webmatrixus]

Hi, my name is Camille I’m a 62 (july) YO female Diabetic, for prob 2 decades! on metformin for just over a year 500mg 2/day Can I fast? Can I IF? Can I if i have the bulletproof coffee? while on metformin

[@suziqsnow]

Dr Mindy Pelz is an expert on women Fasting , Keto and our hormones. Shes on KZbin & Instagram. You'll be so happy 💖

[@skinnylove911]

But what if you don’t have butter and don’t like it and you haven’t had it 20+ years.

[@ChaseJarvis]

It doesn't have to be butter. The key is just to add fat. Some alternatives could be: coconut oil, MCT oil, cacao butter or coconut butter.

[@melissaandrews1603]

I respect your knowledge and need to help others understand fasting and better health, but...more people would pay attention if you’d clean up you language. 🙂 (And, yes, I have the book)

[@lindawolz4974]

What, hypoglibitchy?

[@janiehedrick3007]

Melissa I agree

[@mariamamamaria4761]

My family dose not like fasting at all

[@velocitygirl8551]

It’s just hitting me ... he’s in a boat ISNT he?

[@BillBene67]

I'm older than Dave and sorry but he does not look particularly young. I'd say 55, 56 minimum but I think he's 48? Just keeping it real. I agree with most of his points but just getting tired of those saying how young he looks.

[@colski3333]

True. And getting gray and wants to live to 180. I saw a dude that is a carnivore for 40 years he is 54 and looks 38. Wow. But this guy. Bless his heart says all the right things but something feels off. What is it?

[@colski3333]

And yes he looks pretty healthy but sure not younger than he is

[@colski3333]

And. Also man is far from really awake. Just a hacker

[@BludOfBalka]

Gotta remember he was 300 pounds in his late 20’s.. I’d say the dude has done pretty well and shares good principles so u don’t make the same mistakes.. But I agree he looks older than his age. He’s done a lot of experimenting on himself, making himself sick

He is a good money maker. I thought he was 60.

[@ceeemm1901]

Is this the "Bollock Poof" guy?

[@artisticgene]

What is Dave using on his face. His skin looks amassing-? Can not believe it's His eating and fasting only,

[@McBain2024]

Disappointed, no creepy orange glasses.

[@annaraimondi294]

In one interview, he gives the backstory on his glasses. It's not to look like a rock star. Lol

[@proinseasnihanluain4735]

Blue light filters- have you tried them?

[@KeepHimAtBay]

chase treating fasting like some kind of dangerous unknown territory. its just food man, grow up

[@mpphotofilm]

Dave "Snake Oil" Asprey

[@jr_fishing9287]

"Micro toxins" guy

[@DormantIdeasNIQ]

What temperature water is considered 'cold' ... Our water comes out of a well and the difference of temp between winter and warmer days is MASSIVE! I want to assume the house should be fitted with an inside holding tank that keeps the water at about 68 to 72 degrees!?

[@dinomiles7999]

Dave done . Sad ... He looks 100 ... sad . Hope he wakes up .

[@richardkennedy8481]

I can't watch mature men, indoors wearing baseball caps.

[@luzguia2040]

30 minutes of talking about anything but not what I want to know, HOW TO FAST THE RIGHT WAY!!

[@geniuscreator321]

Why are his lips so dehydrated, that's not good

[@250txc]

Too many buzz words in the first minute ... Don't need this angle pumped to me.

[@dbongo1]

Bulletproof coffee was overpriced but tasty, now it is just Overpriced. They changed (ingredients, process…) their products to maximize profits and hope people would not notice the difference. If you can’t tell the difference, get your taste buds checked. I would not trust anything from this arrogant Asprey guy. Customer service tells you they will send a refund - but never do!

[@BreckenridgeCoHomes]

Dude- it's coffee, grass fed butter, and mtc oil... Make your own! I do butter and cream and sometimes add a touch of coconut oil

[@jamesdean7756]

Why does it take the interviewer five minutes to ask a question very difficult to stick through it
