Summary

When your body makes decisions before your mind does, how you intentionally use that science to your benefit can make all the difference. Biohacking expert and New York Times bestselling author Dave Asprey join On Leadership with Scott Miller to share his personal story of overcoming health issues like obesity and brain fog through biohacking, and provide practical tips listeners can implement like improving sleep, reducing stress triggers, and focusing on nutrient-dense whole foods. Dave argues that humans are inherently lazy from an evolutionary perspective, as our bodies are wired to conserve energy, so he suggests hacking this tendency through tools and techniques like breath work, fasting, optimizing nutrition, and improving sleep.
