Dave Asprey: Fasting, Fatty Water, Fiber, Biohacks + The Birth of Bulletproof

On this week’s episode, I was able to sit down with the founder & chairman of Bulletproof and New York Times best-selling author, Dave Asprey to talk about fasting! We discuss the best ways to intermittent fast, the science-backed health benefits and how to biohack fasting to make it as easy and effective as possible. We also discuss the special type of fiber that Dave Asprey recommends, what the heck fatty water is, keto collagen bars, the behind-the-scenes origins of Bulletproof as a company and so much more!
