Back again is the king of biohacking, Dave Asprey, the Bulletproof Executive. Since Dave was last on my show, Bulletproof coffee has blown up, Dave's churned out a few more books, and he's put together a biohacking conference in San Francisco. Not too shabby for a few month's work.
I'll be presenting on how to improve mental performance with music (following-up on my first book, The Musical Brain). If you'd like to come biohack with the coolest toys nerds like us have ever seen, check out the biohacking conference here.

Paul Jaminet: Safe Starches, Fecal Transplants, and Good News for Wine Lovers
Today's show is with the brilliant Paul Jaminet, author of The Perfect Health Diet and perfecthealthdiet.com. After having Paul on the show a few months ago, I was happy to touch upon some of the cheekier topics this time around, including the health benefits of drinking, why eating white rice won't kill you, and, of course, fecal transplants.
Now, if I had to recommend one book on optimizing your health, The Perfect Health Diet is it. In fact, my nutritional strategy (The Wild Diet) is actually closer to the Perfect Health Diet than it is to Paleo/Primal. This is required reading, folks.
Paul's content is tirelessly researched and his nutritional approach is balanced, reasonable, and easy to implement into your life.
We cover:
How the same diet can cause weight loss AND weight gain
The ins and outs of a fecal transplant
How most Americans are eating industrial waste products as a staple of their diet
Why sipping wine with your steak is good for you
