Taking a Bite of Raw Liver

Today's guest is none other than Dave Asprey, back for his third appearance. A true pioneer of the biohacking movement, Dave has devoted his life to elevating human performance using the latest scientific research combined with ancient healing traditions. His mission here today, and in his life, is to share with the world the latest discoveries in health and wellness to help people break through mental and physical barriers, to accomplish the unimaginable, and to be superhuman.

I assure you this is not your run of the mill Dave Asprey interview. We talk about his move to Austin on the heels of his recent divorce, the perils of living on an island in Canada during a three-year period of tyranny, the rarely discussed and unglamorous challenges of having your own farm, how a vegan diet wrecked his health and his teeth, and why he doesn't recommend it – among many, many more hot-button issues.

We also spend time exploring his new book, Smarter Not Harder, which is essentially about embracing laziness as a way to cultivate more energy. If nothing else, Dave is a free thinker and world-class innovator; and we get a full download in this one.

He shares why he's no longer repping Bulletproof, the company he founded. And finally, we get the nitty gritty on moldy coffee and why he infused trace minerals into his new Danger Coffee to make it even more potent.
