The Human Upgrade: Biohacking for Longevity & Performance

Today, on The Human Upgrade, we talk to Steve Revelli about the long history and bright future of using silver nanoparticles as a biohacking silver bullet. Steve's background is in science and education, now serving as the QA Manager at American Biotech Labs, LLC, the brand which produces Silver Biotics—a long-time resident of my own medicine cabinet. The conversation covers the difference between pathogenic bacteria and probiotics, how silver under a concentration of 40 parts per million can target harmful bacteria while leaving healthy probiotics intact, the importance of nanoparticle size, antibiotic resistance, animal and agricultural applications, and so much more. You will learn how they use silver in the world of medicine (because they actually do and have for more than a hundred years) and how/when to use it yourself, whether topically, supplementally, or otherwise. This, my free-thinking friends, is a masterclass in using silver for biohacking.00:03:06 — Retelling the Long Story of Silver• Historical meaning of “born with a silver spoon”• Microbial elements of AG404–why it works• Chemistry deep dive, searching for missing electrons• Why doesn’t silver attack healthy cells?• Differences between prokaryotic cells• More is not always better00:11:22 — Delivery Systems to Improve Your Health• Importance of nanoparticle sizes in effective use• One warning: avoiding high salt• Using AG404 in nasal spray during air travel• Other off-label uses for Silver Biotics • Silver particles for immune support • Topical use for fighting infection • 70-year medical history of using silver for burns • Using a vertical sprayer for delivery• Code: DAVE for 30% off at silverbiotics.com00:27:09 — Cosmetic Benefits & Antibiotic Resistance• New formulations from Silver Biotics• Wrinkles, acne, cuts, scrapes, etc.• Facial serum vs. skin cream• Fighting antibiotic resistant bacteria • Pet care and successful applications in agriculture • Safety an ingestion cycles • Turning blue from silver toxicity • Relieving bacterial burden from your sinuses • Code: DAVE for 30% off at silverbiotics.comResources• Shop: Use code DAVE for 30% off at silverbiotics.com• Instagram: @silverbioticsThe Human Upgrade is produced by Crate Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™️...  Sadhguru, a yogi, mystic, visionary and spiritual master who spreads wisdom around the world, clarifies the meaning of karma (no, it’s not a checklist of good and bad deeds) and explains how much you’re in charge of your own karma. His most recent book, “Karma: A Yogi’s Guide to Crafting Your Destiny,” breaks down the ways in which karma frames our lives.“It’s time to unpack the most overused, abused and yet indispensable world in the spiritual vocabulary of the world,” says Sadhguru in his book. “It is time to examine how karma is connected to some of the most vital areas of human inquiry: the meaning of life and above all, how to live it.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™...“Americans are the unhappiest they have been since the Great Depression,” says Dr. Daniel Amen. But he’s determined to change that. He’s a physician and double board-certified psychiatrist who looks at happiness as a brain function. After studying more than 200,000 brain scans of people from 155 countries, Dr. Daniel Amen discovered five primary brain types and seven neuroscience secrets that influence happiness.“I wanted to spend my time and energy and research on happiness because, ultimately... happiness is a moral obligation because of how you impact other people,” Dr. Amen says. “The big central point [is] the brain is the organ of happiness, and if your brain is not healthy, you are not likely to be happy.”What makes you happy? The answer lies in knowing your specific brain type and how it’s being influenced by seven specific chemicals.Happiness originates in distinct brain regions: pleasure in the orbitofrontal cortex; motivation and habit formation in the basal ganglia; and mood and cognitive flexibility in the brain stem.You may be one or a combination of these five primary brain types: (take this brain assessment to find out yours)Balanced: you have a very healthy brainSpontaneous: you have low dopaminePersistent: you’re often worried, rigid, and inflexibleSensitive: you need other people and isolation is hardCautious: your GABA levels are lowLearn more about brain types and what actually boosts your happiness according to neuroscience in Dr. Amen’s book, "You, Happier: The 7 Neuroscience Secrets of Feeling Good Based on Your Brain Type.”“Happiness comes from moving your life forward toward your life goals with meaning and purpose, based on your values, despite whatever obstacles are in your way,” Dr. Amen says. “A happy life doesn’t focus on the past with regret or look to the future with fear.”  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you have all sorts of unexplained health problems in your home, where you work, or where you go to school, symptoms can be very different. One person's gaining fat, another person's always tired, other people have dark circles, emotional irregularity, sudden weight gain, onset of allergies that no one can explain, on and on.In the episode today, you learn the smarter, not harder, ways to deal with toxic mold exposure in your environment from one of the world’s leading experts on the matter. Our guest is Brian Karr. He's a second-generation indoor environmental consultant and he works with hypersensitive individuals with complex medical conditions. He's the co-founder of We Inspect, an environmental testing company which works to help people understand mold, mycotoxins, and even bacterial toxins that exist in your homes. He takes time to explain what's (usually) there, why it’s important—even down to the genetic level—and what it's doing to you.Go back to the definition of biohacking… The art and science of changing the environment around you and inside of you so that you have full control of your own biology. If your environment is moldy and has biotoxins, maybe you don't have control of your biology—the mold does.Brian's become a go-to guy for medical doctors across the country, helping more than 5,000 people as sensitive as I used to be to create healthier living environments. You're going to learn a lot in this episode, even if you're saying… Well, I don't have a mold problem.

Learn how to tune into your true self and inner power by harnessing quantum energy to ward off EMFs and increase your energetic vibration. Quantum Upgrade sponsored this episode. Founder and CEO, Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling, shares how you can reduce EMFs and increase quantum energy in your personal spaces.He joined the show previously to bring you the science and benefits of quantum energy and energy frequencies. You’ll want to take a listen to episodes #890 and #1013 to learn more. This time, he explains how you can harness quantum energy via a remote service. Skeptical? Here’s how it all works.Through years of research and development in tandem with its sister company, Leela Quantum, Quantum Upgrade has created a powerful source of usable quantum energy.By using quantum entanglement, Quantum Upgrade has been shown to improve the function of heart rate variability, ATP production, and blood, among other things. Philipp mentions a recent study that found this quantum technology increased cellular activity by 20%, which has implications for athletes—a bioenergy-hacking tool!—and wound healing. Everyday EMF radiation creates incoherent frequencies that put stress on the human body. This creates biological disharmony and depletes you of quantum energy. The Quantum Upgrade technology “tunes” your environment to surround you with optimal level of usable quantum energy—at all times. When you join the subscription service, Quantum Upgrade “associates” you, your home, phone, business, or even your pet with this energy source.The remote service has been tested through randomized sham-controlled double-blind studies, and Quantum Upgrade has worked with independent testing institutes and labs to test their products. Whether you’re new to exploring the benefits of quantum energy or already have some experience with quantum frequencies, there’s a subscription fit for you.Watch this episode on YouTube!Find research, links, and resources in the show notes.SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS: Go to https://quantumupgrade.io and use the code DAVE to get a FREE 15-day trial of the Quantum Upgrade subscription service.Also check out Quantum Upgrade and Leela Quantum at the 9th Annual Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Learn about the roots of drama addiction, how it harms the mind and body, and how to recognize signs of it in yourself and others.If you’re on drama overload or someone close to you plows through your life dragging drama everywhere—it’s sucking the energy out of you. News, world events, and social media can cause a firestorm of drama, too. All of it causes physiological and mental chaos that weakens your resilience to life’s real stressors. In this conversation, you’re going to learn what causes someone to develop a drama addiction, some of the main symptoms of drama addiction, and ways to heal from it and keep it out of your life.Holistic psychologist and educator Dr. Scott Lyons joins the show to talk about the pain, limiting beliefs, and trauma that show up in you and others who may have drama addiction. He focuses on what drama addiction actually is and how it can affect your mind, body, and life perspective.Drama has become a global drug, where people are overstimulated and under-connected. Stress, too, plays a surprisingly large role in drama addiction. Other things you’ll learn about drama addiction:What feeds and feels good about it.How trauma influences it.How weaponized empathy poses a danger to your personal life and work life.How to create boundaries with a drama addict.How to thrive if there’s a drama addict in your environment.How to move from drama bonding to more authentic relationships.Scott’s identified nearly a dozen addicted-to-drama archetypes in his new book, “Addicted to Drama: Healing Dependency on Crisis and Chaos in Yourself and Others.” You may see yourself or others in one or several of them—and that’s good—because then you can move into healing. He outlines a very action-oriented approach with 1) help questions, 2) observation & practice, 3) self-healing statements, and 4) things a therapist might suggest.Not sure how to recognize drama in yourself or the people in your personal or work life?

The brain is your sword. Together, working as one unit, this is what makes you a warrior: the brain and heart connection.” Today’s conversation gets into how you can defeat fear and take action by using a no-fail formula to eliminate hesitation.

Learn how to expand your wisdom, cultivate a generous culture, invest in mentorship, and thrive in relationships as a leader.Chip Conley, MBA, talks with Dave in Austin about the concept of wisdom, transcending age boundaries, and the importance of writing down life lessons. He firmly believes that curiosity is the elixir of life.He also explores the paradigm shift in company culture, where focusing on “cultural add” rather than “cultural fit” can foster innovation and diversity. Drawing on his experience that propelled Airbnb’s success, Chip uncovers how Airbnb maintains its strong cultural focus through cultural values interviews and company-wide gatherings.A big part of mid-life includes navigating and understanding different generations, especially in the workplace. Chip earned the name “Modern Elder” in a surreptitious way through his work with much younger employees. Airbnb looked to Chip’s sustained success in the hospitality space and asked him to help transform their start-up into the world’s leading hospitality brand more than a decade ago. He came on to lead Global Hospitality and Strategy.Then 52, he was twice the age of the average Airbnb employee. This earned him the title “Airbnb's Modern Elder” who was as curious as he was wise. He’s currently the company’s Strategic Advisor for Hospitality and Leadership.That experience influenced Chip to create the Modern Elder Academy—a new roadmap for midlife and learning opportunities—at an oceanfront campus in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Chip’s also a New York Times bestselling author, an in-demand public speaker (especially TEDtalks!) and is on the advisory council for the Stanford Center on Longevity.Watch this episode on YouTube! Find all the links and resources in the show notes.  SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS: Learn more about Modern Elder Academy at https://www.modernelderacademy.com and use code DAVE20 to save 20% off in-person workshops, MEA Online, or Sabbatical Sessions. *Offer valid throughout 2023 (some minor restrictions may apply).SPECIAL PRESENTATION: Live Fireside Chat: Dr. Mark Hyman & Chip Conley: The universe aligned to bring Dr. Mark Hyman and Chip Conley to Austin to talk with Dave on The Human Upgrade recently.

Here's what you must know about the health risks and extensive symptoms of breast implant illness, as well as removal solutions. Dr. Robert Whitfield MD discusses the often-overlooked health risks associated with breast implants. Women who experience breast implant illness have symptoms like brain fog, memory loss, fatigue, joint pain, anxiety, and many more.While there’s not a definitive cause of breast implant illness, a common theory points to an immune system response. Breast implants in the body can lead to persistent foreign body reactions, silicone toxicity, heavy metal exposure, biofilm development around the implants, and free radical/oxidative damage. Over time, these reactions weaken the immune system and cause health symptoms from minor to severe. Your autoimmune response, endocrine system, thyroid & adrenals, and gut all could be affected.Dr. Robert Whitfield MD’s an Austin-based plastic surgeon who’s cared for hundreds of women with breast implant illness, performs breast explants, and teaches other surgeons about this illness and treatment methods. In his years of experience in breast reconstruction for cancer patients, microsurgery, and a deep understanding of the body's reactions to foreign materials, he's developed a unique insight into the world of breast implant illness.This episode serves as a guide to what could be happening in your body, what symptoms to watch for, and breast implant removal options if you suspect you may have breast implant illness.

Learn about nitric oxide’s crucial role in your body systems, how to naturally produce more of it, and how to supplement effectively and safely.  Research scientist Nathan Bryan, Ph.D., has been involved in nitric oxide research for the past 25 years and has made many discoveries in the field. He’s an international leader in molecular medicine and nitric oxide biochemistry. You'll find out how nitric oxide works within major body functions and what you can do to increase your body's natural production of it.Pneuma Nitric Oxide sponsored this episode.Human performance depends on sufficient oxygen and nutrient delivery to organs, tissues, and cells so they can do their job. Nitric oxide controls oxygen and nutrient delivery. It’s now recognized “as one of the most important molecules produced in the body of humans,” Nathan says. “It's a vasodilator, so it controls the regulation of blood flow. It's what's responsible for oxygen and nutrient delivery to every organ, tissue, and cell in the body.”That’s why it’s so important to find the right carrier to effectively deliver this complex and bioactive gas that’s gone in less than a second. Nathan was one of the first scientists to develop a technology to make a solid dose form of nitric oxide.He shares information about Pneuma Nitric Oxide’s key products, like its lozenges, and the N1O1 skincare line. The lozenges open small blood vessels internally and the topicals open superficial blood vessels on the skin to improve blood flow and cellular turnover. He explains how to use a nitric oxide-generating serum on your skin from his N1O1 skincare line that enhances blood flow and promotes wound healing. Nathan presents the anti-aging, performance-enhancing, and nootropic benefits of nitric oxide along with its role in improving stem cell function, controlling telomerase activity, and improving mitochondrial function.He identifies the different isoforms of nitric oxide for you, noting that you should choose a nitric oxide supplement that delivers the same amount of nitric oxide that the body would normally produce. He emphasizes the importance of restoring the body's ability to naturally produce nitric oxide and debunks the use of nitric oxide precursors such as L-arginine and citrulline. He also stresses using safe and effective nitric oxide products.SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS: Go to https://n1o1.com and use code DAVE to get 10% off and free shipping.Watch this episode on YouTube! Find all the links and resources in the show notes. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… former rocket scientist and former law professor Ozan Varol—an expert in creativity, innovation, and critical thinking—says that unlocking your full potential involves reimagining the status quo rather than simply resisting it. “The word resist for me gets in the way because often resistance becomes a different way of conformity, as in you're resisting something but you're not really offering a new path forward,” he says. “So, resistance becomes its own end in and of itself. The goal should be re-imagination.”In this discussion about Ozan’s newest book, “AWAKEN YOUR GENIUS: Escape Conformity, Ignite Creativity, and Become Extraordinary,” you’ll learn to access the best parts of your brain and create your own path as a leader and creator by acting instead of reacting. While people consider those who blaze their own trail as geniuses, Ozan contends that genius is not limited to a select few. Rather, it can be discovered by anyone. He loaded this book with smart tips, examples, things to think about, and things to do. For example, you’ll learn why you should ignore email until noon and spend the most valuable time of your day thinking in creativity. You’ll also learn how spending more time on the “why” than the “what” moves you toward the life you really want to be living. He lays out an action roadmap for you to cultivate your own genius and be in charge of your time and creativity.Watch this episode on YouTube!Find all the links and resources in the show notes.WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

In this Episode of The Human Upgrade™...​ Dave talks to David Hinds of Brisbane, Australia, about gut issues and weight loss for men at mid-life. David’s already biohacking, working out, and taking supplements he thinks are the right ones—yet the weight around his mid-section persists.This intervention looks at ways to tackle hard-to-budge love handles and extra mid-section weight with suggestions covering hormones, thyroid, sleep, SIBO, probiotics, supplements, inflammation, the pituitary gland, prolactin, and potassium. This discussion gets into libido and eyesight, too.David’s in his early 50s and a dad to two teenagers. He started biohacking over three years ago when he discovered the Bulletproof Radio podcast (now called The Human Upgrade). He then read Dave’s books, made some life changes, saw the results, and decided 150 years on this rock would be awesome! “So, I'm one-third of the way through life, and my aim is to be in the best physical and mental state possible for all of those years,” he says.Note: The "Interventions With Dave” recommendations are designed to help you upgrade yourself and your biology so you can perform better at everything you do. They are not, however, a substitute for advice or treatment by a trained medical professional that may be needed for specific health conditions, illness or injury.Find a full list of the Interventions With Dave episodes here.Listen to this episode on YouTube!WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

And you're not. You're not okay inside,” she says. Her new book, “Unexpected: Finding Resilience through Functional Medicine, Science, and Faith,” explores “positive transformation against all odds.” She shares her own story of confronting life-altering illnesses, fighting for her health, and overcoming sickness using both science and faith. She also shares the experiences of her patients who transformed their health and their lives.Get ready to learn about a new path of empowerment where you can take control of your own health and well-being.Watch this episode on YouTube!Find all the links and resources in the show notes.Get Your Tickets! 9th Annual Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.comDave Asprey’s NEW Book! “Smarter Not Harder: The Biohacker’s Guide to Getting the Body and Mind You Want.” https://daveasprey.com/books/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you’ll learn why many professional athletes, especially fighters, are some of the top biohackers in the world. They hack their bodies, minds, and environments to achieve an incredibly high level of performance. Every hack they do has to be effective—and means the difference between winning and losing. Professional MMA (mixed martial arts) fighter Miesha Tate knows and does just that while adding being a parent and entrepreneur into the mix. Miesha is a former UFC and Strikeforce Bantamweight champion, ONE Championship vice president, and winner of Celebrity Big Brother Season 3. She always draws on her experiences, whether from home birth or competing on the world’s biggest stages as a pro athlete as proof that when the mind and body are functioning with synchronicity, you are capable of great things. After more than a decade of wrestling and MMA competition culminating in her UFC World Championship in 2016, she stepped out of the octagon. “I retired from the sport and it took five years to figure out who I am other than Miesha Tate, the fighter,” she says. “So not only did I go soul searching, but I also went wellness searching.”She found red light to help her recovery and healing, hyperbaric oxygen therapy to restore and protect her brain, and breathing techniques to keep her present and grounded. She learned, too, the importance of mindfulness and attention to self—“to just be alone with your own thoughts.” She says there’s reward and fulfillment in doing something every day that pushes you and makes you a little bit uncomfortable. No pain required.She came back to professional MMA fighting after having two children and changed up nearly everything about her training. This included moving from Bantamweight to Flyweight, which meant reducing her already lean frame by another 10 pounds. She now looks at her body and mind as a comprehensive unit: the big things like hormones, nutrition, sleep and brain health; flow state during her fights; and she even takes on the more elusive soul work. Miesha focuses on empowering women through martial arts, with a particular emphasis on self-defense and building confidence. She’s become an advocate for women in combat sports, using her platform to promote equality and opportunities for women in the sport. She also helps others heal, recover, and discover their potential at Desert Moon Wellness, which she co-founded with two women partners.She lists her three most important things in life as: 1) Family and friends, 2) time, and 3) goals and dreams.Watch this episode on YouTube!All the links and resources are available in the show notes.WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

There’s a new way of accessing your meat operating system that adds an important element that’s been missing from the brain training conversation. Moha Bensofia joins the show to explain a new piece of neurotech called Mendi. He shares the benefits of getting more blood to the front of your brain.Mendi uses neurofeedback to provide visual feedback based on your brain activity. A headset measures the activity while you play a fun brain-training mobile game. The system uses fNIRS technology to measure blood flow and oxygenation in the pre-frontal cortex of the brain. The brain training game requires focus and calmness, which increases activity and control of your brain’s pathways. By using Mendi, you can learn to control your brain activity and reach greater heights as an entrepreneur, athlete, and professional in any field.Mendi was developed initially for victims of war and trauma, as well as people struggling with anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™... a look into the story of the human mind wonders if you’re just a machine made of meat. Guest Paul Bloom, a researcher, teacher and author, studies adult and child development in terms of how people make sense of the world. It turns out that there are all kinds of automated systems in your body that are making sense of the world for you and after they do that, they give you a picture of the world. The interesting part is that picture may be more or less accurate based on a lot of things that are part of your programming.Paul is a professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto and professor emeritus of Psychology at Yale University. He teaches a popular “Intro to Psychology” class that he turned into his seventh book, called: “Psych: The Story of the Human Mind.”Because he studies psychology at so many different levels, he brings new knowledge and new synthesis of ideas to the discussion of the human mind. Topics range from consciousness to ChatGPT and BDSM, from whether you have a soul or if you can attain happiness. Paul’s writing and lectures show how psychology can give us practical insights into important issues. He addresses the treatment of mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety and the best way to lead a fulfilling life. This episode and his new book guide you through the most important topic there is: the story of you and your mind.Watch this episode on YouTube!WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™... you will learn about the beliefs that kick in as normal humans age and most importantly, you will learn what you can do about those limiting beliefs. And who better to discuss this than the author of the book, "Gnar Country: Growing Old, Staying Rad," Steven Kotler. Steven is a friend of the show, executive director of the Flow Research Collective, a New York Times bestselling author, and an award-winning journalist. He tested his knowledge and theories on himself in a quest to learn how to park ski (an extreme type of skiing) at age 53.Science shows that older humans are better at learning certain skills than younger people. Brain changes occur in the second half of your life that unlock levels of intelligence, wisdom, creativity, and empathy you didn’t know were possible.In the conversation, Steven describes how his book chronicles his experience pushing his own aging body past preconceived limits. He also explains why he wrote a book about goals, grit and progression - and why he feels it's an important lesson for everyone to learn (not just those of you over 50). Steven also explains why he chose extreme skiing as his No. 1 anti-aging activity. “... if you really want to preserve cognitive function, you want to basically use the hippocampus in the way that evolution designed it. You want novel, challenging experiences in outdoor environments.”Watch this episode on YoutubeFind all the links and resources in the show notes.***WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… the guest is one of the founders of Wired Magazine and someone who has been a continuous source of interest, news and data for decades, Jane Metcalfe. Having basically dissected nerds for her entire life, Jane now runs a fantastic newsletter and news site called NEO.LIFE where she writes about biohacking and the future. If you were to combine someone who really understands society and understands tech (and has read as much science fiction as possible) you would have Jane. Jane’s, focus throughout her, career has been on how technology is transforming our world. But now she is fascinated with how deeply we can see inside the body and how processing the data we collect allows us to discover new cells, understand complex biological systems, and engineer bacteria, viruses, DNA, and ultimately ourselves. Her new platform, NEO.LIFE is for exploring how we Homo sapiens will use these technologies and new understandings to power our own evolution. Watch this episode on YouTube!Get all the links and resources in the show notes.WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.
