What if everything you've been told about diet, weight loss, and longevity isn't actually making you healthier?
In this episode of Grounded Wellness, Bethany sits down with Dave Asprey, bestselling author, host of The Human Upgrade podcast, and pioneer of the modern biohacking movement, to challenge conventional health advice and explore what it really takes to optimize our energy, metabolism, and longevity.
From intermittent fasting and weight loss to mitochondrial health, blood sugar, and the surprising relationship between light exposure and our circadian rhythms, Dave shares his perspective on some of the biggest mistakes people make when trying to improve their health.
They also discuss the rise of “junk light,” why Dave believes sunlight is essential for healthy aging, and his favorite simple, affordable biohacks for improving sleep, energy, and longevity without overcomplicating your routine.
Whether you're curious about fasting, metabolism, healthy foods, biohacking, or natural longevity, this conversation invites you to question conventional wellness advice and discover why doing more isn't always the answer.
