The Bulletproof Diet is a comprehensive guide to achieving better mental clarity, sustained energy, and weight loss through a high-fat, moderate-protein, and low-carbohydrate approach. The diet emphasizes eating organic, grass-fed, and non-GMO foods to minimize toxins and maximize nutrient intake. It also incorporates intermittent fasting and the consumption of healthy fats like avocados, coconut oil, and grass-fed butter. The diet aims to stabilize blood sugar levels, promote weight loss, and support cognitive function. Key components include the use of Bulletproof Coffee, avoiding mold toxins, and a balanced approach to exercise and sleep[1][3][5].
In 'Super Human,' Dave Asprey presents a revolutionary approach to anti-aging, showing how it is possible to make changes on the sub-cellular level to dramatically extend life span. The book is divided into three parts: 'Don't Die,' which identifies the Four Killers (heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and cancer); 'Age Backward,' which provides methods to reverse aging; and 'Heal Like a Deity,' which offers strategies to heal faster. Asprey’s research and personal experiences are used to provide practical advice on diet, sleep, light, exercise, and other little-known hacks to decelerate cellular aging and enhance overall health and performance.
The Tracker is a powerful memoir that recounts Tom Brown Jr.'s journey in learning the skills of tracking and wilderness survival. The story begins with Brown's chance meeting with Stalking Wolf, an Apache elder, at the age of seven. Over the next ten years, Brown and his childhood friend Rick were trained by Stalking Wolf in the ways of nature. The book follows Brown's transition to manhood, his discovery of his life's purpose, and his eventual career as a full-time tracker, working with law enforcement and establishing the Tom Brown Jr. Tracker School in New Jersey. The narrative is filled with adventure, suspense, and lessons about living in harmony with nature[1][3][4].
Does Calorie Restriction Even Work? What About the Carnivore Diet AND Fruit?
Today we are excited to have Paul Saladino join us for a masterclass on food and diets. Dr. Saladino dives into the evolution of keto and carnivore diets, cutting through trends to focus on lasting health impacts. Dr. Saladino, widely recognized as CarnivoreMD, shares how his own diet shifted to include fruit and honey alongside animal-based nutrition, and why metabolic flexibility—not rigid rules—leads to better outcomes. Together, he and Dave challenge assumptions about long-term ketosis, examine its potential downsides, and explore how to optimize diets for energy, gut health, and longevity.
They also tackle controversial topics like the risks of seed oils, the overhyped reputation of “health foods” like quinoa, and the critical roles insulin and nutrient density play in overall wellness. With insights on balancing mTOR, managing omega fats, and incorporating organ meats, this episode offers a nuanced perspective for anyone interested in biohacking, nutrition science, or simply eating smarter.
What you’ll learn:
• Why metabolic flexibility matters more than strict diet rules
• The science behind long-term ketosis and insulin’s broader role in health
• How common “health foods” could be doing more harm than good
• The importance of nutrient-dense animal-based foods for gut and immune health
• How to achieve optimal balance between fat types, mTOR, and longevity markers
