APP ONLY VIDEO: Dave Asprey: “Mycotoxins & Superhuman Performance”

Have a race, event, Ironman triathlon or anything else coming up? I’d reconsider blue cheese and other “moldy” foods in your build-up – here’s a few: sour cream, buttermilk and sour milk; cured, pickled and smoked meats and fish; prepackaged meats, like lunch meats, salami, smoked fish and some sardines; pickles, olives, capers, salad dressing or ketchup; vinegar and soy sauce. I’m not saying always completely ‘em – but nuke ‘em in final few important weeks of performance – and that would include moldy hotel room coffee too.

Dave Asprey is the founder of The Bulletproof Executive. He is a Silicon Valley investor, computer security expert, and entrepreneur who spent 15 years and $250,000 to hack his own biology. He upgraded his brain by >20 IQ points, lowered his biological age, and lost 100 lbs without using calories or exercise. The Financial Times calls him a “bio-hacker who takes self- quantification to the extreme of self-experimentation.” His writing has been published by the New York Times and Fortune, and he’s presented at Wharton, Kellogg, the University of California, and Singularity University.
