  • Gary Brecka: The SECRET Blood Marker That Could Save Your Life! (pt. 2) : 1248

    Gary Brecka: The SECRET Blood Marker That Could Save Your Life! (pt. 2) : 1248
    Feb 6 2025
    Could the right form of a single vitamin be the difference between thriving and barely surviving? In this Part 2 conversation, human biologist and longevity expert Gary Brecka reveals the #1 overlooked factor that’s wrecking your health: methylation—your body’s ability to convert nutrients into fuel. If this process fails, your hormones, energy, and even mental health take a nosedive. Gary and Dave dive deep into the real cause of anxiety, ADHD, and mood disorders, the hidden genetic reason why diets fail, and why Big Pharma isn’t talking about this critical health breakthrough. Are you unknowingly setting yourself up for disease? What’s the simple fix that can reverse anxiety, gut problems, and even prevent genetic disease? And why is your doctor ignoring one of the biggest markers of longevity? What You’ll Learn: • The MTHFR gene mutation—and why it’s quietly affecting millions • Anxiety, ADHD, and depression—why these disorders start in your cells, not your brain • The gut-brain connection—how your microbiome controls your mood • Why your “healthy diet” might be hurting you (and what to eat instead) • How nutrient deficiencies are passed from mother to child—and how to stop it • The truth about homocysteine—the blood marker that could predict your lifespan • Why most people are living at 50% capacity—and how to get your energy back Resources: • 2025 Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.com/2025 • Gary Brecka’s Website: https://bit.ly/4hlfyti • Gary Brecka’s YouTube: https://bit.ly/3E3Aaba • Gary Brecka’s Instagram: https://bit.ly/3PNsgFe • Dave Asprey’s New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/ • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com • Dave Asprey’s Website: https://daveasprey.com • Dave Asprey’s Linktree: https://linktr.ee/daveasprey • Upgrade Collective – Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live: https://www.ourupgradecollective.com • Own an Upgrade Labs: https://ownanupgradelabs.com • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com • 40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback Training for Advanced Cognitive Enhancement: https://40yearsofzen.com • The Mold Movie!: https://moldymovie.com/ SPONSORS: -BON CHARGE | Go to https://boncharge.com/ and use coupon code DAVE to save 15%. -Qualia | Go to https://www.qualialife.com/dave15 to get an additional 15% off subscriptions.

    Feb 5 2025
    Why were our grandparents stronger, healthier, and living longer—without the “advancements” of modern medicine? Gary Brecka, one of the world’s leading experts in human longevity and performance, exposes the hidden crisis that’s wrecking your hormones, slashing your energy, and cutting your lifespan short. In this no-holds-barred conversation with Dave Asprey, they break down the corporate greed, medical corruption, and environmental toxins designed to keep you sick, weak, and dependent. What’s really causing the testosterone collapse in men and women? How is AI changing the game for hormone optimization, biohacking, and personalized health? And why are we aging faster than ever—while Big Pharma profits?

What You’ll Learn: • Why testosterone levels are plummeting—and how to restore them naturally • The real reason life expectancy is dropping (hint: it’s not just diet) • The Kellogg conspiracy—how food was designed to lower libido & testosterone • Why mainstream medicine is failing you (and what to do instead) • How AI and big data are rewriting the rules of health & longevity in• The shocking truth about cholesterol, heart disease, and pharmaceuticals • Why functional medicine & biohacking hold the key to real health optimization Resources: • 2025 Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.com/2025 • Gary Brecka’s Website: https://bit.ly/4hlfyti • Gary Brecka’s YouTube: https://bit.ly/3E3Aaba • Gary Brecka’s Instagram: https://bit.ly/3PNsgFe • Dave Asprey’s New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/ • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com • Dave Asprey’s Website: https://daveasprey.com • Dave Asprey’s Linktree: https://linktr.ee/daveasprey • Upgrade Collective – Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live: https://www.ourupgradecollective.com • Own an Upgrade Labs: https://ownanupgradelabs.com • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com • 40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback Training for Advanced Cognitive Enhancement: https://40yearsofzen.com SPONSORS: Timeline | Head to https://www.timeline.com/dave to get 10% off your first order.

  • Ancient Secrets THEY Hid from You (That Still Work Today!) – Lost Technology, The Pyramid Code, and Quantum Reality | Billy Carson (Harvard & MIT) & Elisabeth Carson : 1246

    Ancient Secrets THEY Hid from You (That Still Work Today!) – Lost Technology, The Pyramid Code, and Quantum Reality | Billy Carson (Harvard & MIT) & Elisabeth Carson : 1246
    Jan 30 2025
    Billy Carson, a Harvard-certified expert in ancient civilizations and an MIT-trained scholar in neuroscience, has spent decades decoding the mysteries of lost technology, quantum reality, and human optimization. Alongside Elisabeth Carson, a biohacker and neuroscience researcher, they bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern science—revealing secrets that could transform your mind, body, and reality. What if the Great Pyramid wasn’t just a monument but a powerful energy device designed to amplify human potential? What if ancient civilizations understood frequency, grounding, and longevity in ways modern science is only beginning to grasp? In this episode, the Carsons connect the dots between lost technology, bioenergetics, and conscious relationships, showing how these ancient systems align with the latest research on vibrational healing, mitochondrial energy, and peak performance. They explore how quantum fields influence cellular regeneration, why high-frequency living affects health and relationships, and how suppressed knowledge could redefine the future of wellness. What You’ll Learn: • How the Great Pyramid functioned as an energy generator—and how to apply its principles to longevity • The forgotten science of frequency and its effects on health, aging, and vitality • How quantum energy and grounding can optimize mitochondrial function • The connection between biohacking, consciousness, and relationships • Why suppressed ancient knowledge holds the key to true human potential Resources: • 2025 Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.com/2025 • 4biddenknowledge YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@ForbiddenKnowledge1 • 4biddenknowledge Website – https://www.4biddenknowledge.com/ • Billy Carson Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/4biddenknowledge/?hl=en • Elisabeth Carson Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/elisabethicarson/?hl=en • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com • Dave Asprey’s Website: https://daveasprey.com • Dave Asprey’s Book – Smarter Not Harder: https://daveasprey.com/books • Dave Asprey’s Linktree: https://linktr.ee/daveasprey • Upgrade Collective – Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live: https://www.ourupgradecollective.com • Own an Upgrade Labs: https://ownanupgradelabs.com • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com • 40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback Training for Advanced Cognitive Enhancement: https://40yearsofzen.com SPONSORS: Zbiotics | Go to https://zbiotics.com/DAVE for 15% off your first order.

Analemma inspirations in my world

Hi Dave: I have survived life listening to your podcast. I started listening to you a couple years ago, & you bought me back to life. The first episode on analemma you did I immediately bought the wand I think it was October 2022. I take care of plants in office buildings & residents & I thought it would help some of my plants that seem not to take up nutrients from the soil. But it requires too much time to stir the water.
So when this episode came out about the whole house system I ordered it. also rebloom orchids & will use this system for it as well as my dogs & husband. I love the wand but am super excited for the whole house system, I know this will be another Hugh turning point in my life from you. Thank you so much for bringing this information to the world. You make this plant more amazing.
