FASTING SECRETS: What To Eat & When To Eat To Increase LONGEVITY! | Dave Asprey & Mark Hyman

My guest in this episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy is the amazing Dave Asprey, Founder & CEO of Bulletproof, and the leading expert on biohacking. Biohacking is the desire to be the absolute best version of ourselves. Our conversation took us through biohacking, human biology, and the importance of emotional and mental health. I hope you’ll tune into the full episode.

Excellent interview. This is the kind of stuff that should be taught in school.

[@Horseycrazy4life]

I could listen to Dr.Hyman all day. So fascinating. My new favorite You Tube subscription. I’m obsessed!!!!

[@mientjieuys267]

Very interesting

[@woodstockxx]

I’m a tight arse..but I still shelled out the cash to buy his books..worth every penny 😁👍

[@janetriben4129]

Mark Hyman and David Asprey have got to be two of the most knowledgeable people in the health world! Always learn masses when I listen to them! THANKS!

[@Jay3Tay]

The closing remarks about taking a miserable person, change their diet and train them to be happy, is the best thing I have heard in a while.

[@farfalina201]

Yes neurofeedback is amazing! It is a cure for many mental illnesses.

I love Dave. What a benefit to society. Most want to change the world. Dave has. He has grown younger every time I see him.

[@laserlight5100]

Great interview. A lot of people often knock Dave's views, but his knowledge and personal experience is just on another level compared to most in the medical arena.

[@barbaraanntwynstra1810]

This interview is so amazing, I had to go back and listen to it again and again. Thank you 🙏 very very much for all of your wonderful information. You both are brilliant and doing amazing things

[@darcicollins7458]

Such an amazing interview! Take control of your biology - love it!! Great tips and cutting edge science for health and happiness

[@iknovate]

Totally amazing! I'm a fan. Shared twice DURING the episode as specific messages resonated with others in a similar journey. More left to share. Already Lectin-Free for a year. Loved learning the deep 'why' for my success. More fine-tuning. Great guidelines to cling to regarding emotional health, given a serious family personal confrontation yesterday that will present itself again in a few days. It's one thing to 'fix' ourselves. It's another to be subjected to others who are on the opposite end of the spectrum who have no personal authenticity and hate themselves and everything around them. Thank you.

[@seanj8878]

Dave Asprey is an amazing man, I've been a Bulletproof follower fror about 3 years, changed my life.

Each guest that you have interviewed over these few weeks have given me a real eye opener into health and food. My brain with body can now make better choices. I will continue to be a sponge and sop up more knowledge. Thank you Dr.!!

[@drmarkhyman]

I’m glad these episodes are helping you so much!

[@carolburnett8372]

Isn't it funny that lots of foods just fill you up, but, when you eat the real old-fashioned good food made from scratch, that it satisfies you and it is not just "filling up" ....our forefathers had lots of healthy foods that possibly we frowned on.......as in collards, etc....

[@nancyrose51]

dave asprey always an inspiration as you are dr mark hyman!! there were a few new bits of information but mainly it's a confirmation of all that is possible and a reminder of doing our best to be the most vibrant self possible. I think this takes age & experience to get here. I ate all the crap when I grew up and thankfully my body was resilient enough to get through it but now in my 60s I'm clean and mean!!! still a daily battle with amounts of food but at least I eat the right foods!! love the series thank you always for keeping me motivated!

I thank you both for such open and honest sharing! Damn good data and the world is now better because of your sharing.

[@SunShine-000]

Your channel is quickly becoming my favorite! I’m an American living in Japan and we have so many 90 and 100 year olds in my neighborhood, many living alone independently (pictures and bios are put in the local newspapers). Yes, it is a wealthy neighborhood but the difference I see here compared to the US is how physically active everyone is until his or her last breath, despite bouts of cancer or heart disease earlier in life! They are out walking daily in sunshine or rain, along the river walkways or on the beach at whatever pace they can manage. Many have dogs requiring their love and attention, who are nursed and walk until their final days as well. Smiles, head nods or bows are abundantly shared, often despite previous rows or disagreements. It is clear to me that a Japanese traditional diet and daily exercise contribute to longevity here. I lived in Okinawa for two years in 2007-09 and found them extremely Americanized due to the US forces presence as well as the period when the US controlled Okinawa and I fear the prefecture is but a shadow of it’s formerly healthy state touted in Blue Zones. Unfortunately, mainland Japan youth seem to be on the same path, following the Western diet as evidence by the growing obesity problem, fuel by recent popularization of cheese, bread and excessive meat consumption. Makes me sad 😢 for this truly lovely country I’ve called home for nearly 20 years.

[@azabujuban-hito8085]

I live in Tokyo, and yes we do walk or bike everywhere...even if we take train, all the stairs at the stations will give us enough exercise!! 🤣🤣

Loving this series. Will you talk with Jason Fung - and how you Intermittent Fast and keep your cortisol under control? Thanks for it all!

[@magnificentmask9601]

fasting is retarded and unnecesary

[@thisutuber]

MAGNIFICENT Everyone deserves a weekly rest, even (or especially) our stomach. Though it has to be done intelligently, so the body doesn't go into Panic - Starvation! mode

[@eatfatlivelong1529]

MAGNIFICENT MASK Fasting is in our nature. We were, quite literally, designed to do so. There are numerous benefits for every human if the desire and willpower are there. From the most fit and healthy to the most sedentary and ill. Update your research.

[@kenmarriott5772]

Fasting is unnecessary for people who have gotten proper sleep, haven’t been eating 24/7 and aren’t sick and overweight.

[@bladesbigdaddy]

You might want to look up the word Autophagy, and then you might change your mind about fasting.

[@celiaconvento8436]

[@charbuchananfietz6979]

Thank you very much. I enjoyed learning more. I do trust and believe we all individually know what to do. I am a little confused if a 4 day fast is good, is nessacery, is beneficial? Can you elaborate? Thank you again. I will enjoy listening to more.

Thanks for all the info. Never before have I heard (& I’ve watch hundreds of KZbin videos about keto) that we are supposed to stop after a week. For how long? And what would we eat then? I’m 50 and female and had thyroid issues ( Hashimoto’s) but that went away by doing keto & intermediate fasting but I haven’t stopped. I see a holistic doctor who checks everything (blood work) and everything looks great. Now I’m confused. Any info would be wonderful. Thanks

The information is coming rapidly. So sad for many older folks just refused to change their diet. I see it at work every day. Diabetics eating bread and pasta. Boggles the mind.

[@jordanrivera576]

I hear you. My son, age 31, tells me the same thing about older people who are set in their "SAD" ways. I'm glad I'm an exception, I'm the opposite. I talk to so many friends who have a major health issue and they just want to listen to their doc, even though they get frustrated with not ever healing. Their idea of healing is taking drugs for diabetes, lowering triglycerides (never heard of anything so idiotic), high blood pressure, cholesterol, etc. etc. I told one friend recently that I would give her iron bisglycinate which is a safe form of iron. So for her low hemoglobin she takes iron ore supplements from her Dr, but she got so frustrated with stools looking black so she quit them. But does she want to take the safe ones I offer? no - just one example of why Medicare and insurance are so costly. I can't believe the number of people who think even cancer is in the genes. My response to many people about this is: "In 1900 3% of people got cancer and now it's 50%, so obviously it's due to other factors." I tell them about epigenetics.

[@BlackStar-ff2kn]

Love the info guys!, It's amazing all the different opinions and studies in the world of health at the moment. Eating high quality whole foods diet if by far the common denominator between them all. I figure just as most people want a "high quality" car, house, and clothes. High quality soil grown food should be a must. With all the nutritional/lifestyle studies and groundbreaking benefits always just reverting back to a natural lifestyle and environment sometimes I wonder if it just make more sense that we would graze on fruit and coconuts in the day and cook starches, vegetables and salad as a meals for dinner situated in a tropical environment for optimal health.

[@leonvander3600]

Appreciate Dr Hyman for hosting such an important pod cast-it would really be nice if you could stop interrupting the guest(with jokes/comments)so that the guest gets the chance to deliver a complete statement-Cheers

[@loreneboone]

AB-so-lutely! agree!!! Are you afraid the guest might look too good? Are you a bit...altered? Your "tee hee" routines sound juvenile and seem to be a method to discount the guest's info and provide you with a "Look At Me" interjection. Not very professional conduct for an adult, it seems to me.
