I don't understand why there's so much hate for this guy. One of the good talks I've listened to today, and one I'll definitely be researching and listening to again.
All the negative comments are making me sad. I don't think his message is "look at me, I'm better than you". The message is "I was weak, but I tried these cool things and they helped me out. Wanna try?".
+Bosco Martinez I feel that the whole youtube commenting section would look a lot more informed if you could only comment and reply after having watched at least half of a video. Admittedly I thought the first thirds was a bit self-absorbed (imho a bit 'american') but it's clear that this guy is super well-informed.
I love Dave's message! this is an old video I am watching....this is 2017 and I have been living his message and lost 30 pounds, feel better, look better and my mind is clearer than ever! Thank you Dave! God bless you and your family and your work! keep us informed! and thanks for being the guini pig
He has found the ultimate way of selling products: Step 1: Scare people into thinking that everything they r doing is wrong. Step 2: Support ur claims with pseudoscience and cherry picked studies. Step 3: Gain trust by telling things everyone knows r useful - yoga, meditation, exercise, healthy diet etc. And finally, the last step - the money making step Step 4: In addition to doing all those beneficial things - buy his products! - Brilliant Salesmanship!! -- I just wish even 1/3 of what he's saying was true...
Best information I have ever gotten in a while... this guy is like a human guru compiling years worth of information in a span of less than 30 minutes. Although I do admit, I skipped a few small portions in the beginning half, but the last half was spot on valuable information.
To all the negative trash talkers on here. How about you go prove yourself right and beat him at his own game. Let's see you guys come close and show all of us what brilliant scientific researchers you guys are. I will greatly appreciate your time and effort to make man kind that much bettet. Till then! good luck on your journey and I look forward to buying all of your amazing books and products!
David Carrizosa The problem is that Asprey hasn't demonstrated any of that either. People expect a certain standard from TED and they are angry that this guy is way below the mark. Don't fault them for using critical thinking.
I completely understand. I really enjoy TED material. Critical thinking is one thing and trash talking is another. Not faulting them for their beliefs or thoughts, that's cool. BUT speaking like they've done more than him and talking trash about his work with 100% certainty Dave's work is incorrect or trash. Well if they talk that way let's see their proof of that. It's childish to express feelings and opinions like that.
David Carrizosa the fact they say he's 100% wrong, or talking out the side of their face is proof they don't understand much. No one can be 100% of the time right, or wrong. Now that's bullshit.
David Carrizosa So anyone who disagrees has to write a book, lol. Well if that's the case you must always agree with everything or have written hundreds of books. I'm neutral but what he said about losing weight doesn't completely ring true or what he said about sleep. I do know you can lose weight or gain muscle and still junk out every now and then from experience but most people know this. I also know there is a certain way of processing your food that optimizes better brain function but thats because I've read books by scientists and people with degrees in these fields and tried it out.
Are you saying that the speaker is a scientific researcher? LOL He said it himself, he made his money off of software. He's giving people false hope; apparently he had too much sugar in his diet.
most amazing Ted talk ive listened to in months! thank you. i always though coffee was overrated cant understand people going bonkers for it while i have more energy than them without coffee.
wow what a great and motivational talk, i have looked in to alot of things he talks about and its really great having some one like him leaving a road map for the rest of us.
Dave Asprey's system represents the next step in human evolution. I've read his book, Head Strong and it integrates all the best practices from all the different types of diets (including keto), but his system addresses one thing that nobody else has addressed before, that is brain fog and how to clear away brain fog, to improved mental performance.
top ten videos about self betterment. I feel like this is the basics. that this kind of thinking is the bread and butter and there's a whole new world available at the beginning of mastering the energy in the cells.
The sleep portion struck a cord with me. I spent the first few months of 2016 doing my best to get 7-8 hours of sleep, but I could never stay sleep. And I never felt good after 8. I eventually realized that my body didn't want or like that many hours. I actually run better on 6-6.5 hours.
I think his message is that you can sleep as long or as little as you'd like. Just don't let it get in the way of your life and to work just as hard as you sleep and you can still acheive anything you'd like with the amount of time you choose to sleep.
I always forget that Dave did Ayahuasca. He never really talks about it in-depth. Not to my knowledge anyway. But I listen to his podcasts ALL THE TIME. And I read the articles on his website.
Dave is right. You only need ONE INTENSE WHOLE BODY VIBRATION workout per week. But you should do LIGHT EXERCISE every day or every other day. Yoga, simply standing on a WBV plate at a low intensity for 5 minutes, BJJ (roll at 30-50% and focus on only using technique and using your strength to the absolute minimum necessary level. This will actually make you WAY BETTER AT BJN), stuff like that. But yeah, I was suspicious of his "only one intense workout per week" claim but I've been getting better results in muscle growth than ever before (with exercises to exhaustion on a WBV plate, but DON'T DO THAT YOUR FIRST TIME ON A WBV PLATE. EASE INTO IT. IT'S CRAZY INTENSE FOR YOUR MUSCLES TO CONTRACT 30 TIMES PER SECOND. EASY TO BURN OUT YOUR CNS.)
I love all the cynicism on this forum because it helps explain why so many people don't make changes all throughout their lives. Change comes from a starting point of belief. I'm not defending anyone, including this guy, but if your tendency is to criticize you might want to question how much information you may be dismissing that might help. I will say this... once someone within our extended family lost 80lbs by making only one change.. that was giving up carbonated colas... his cousin did so within a year.. topping him.. the guy went from 230 to 130.. and i of course did not recognize him. Last year my other cousin went from a 180 down to 100 lbs... she is 5 feet tall and did it by moving to France and living with a family that carried no processed garbage. Now if three people close to me could splice their weight so drastically, and so quickly, there obviously are indeed some simple hacks that can work. Whether they can work for everyone is questionable. I guess if there are no fat meth, coke or heroin users the answer would be yes, nobody is fat due to genes alone. Not that i have anything against fat people incidentally.... when you've been skinny your whole life you don't even notice weight, its like an non-issue... that is, for men at least. Women, that's a collective brain disorder fed by Madison Avenue if you ask me. Plenty of obese live long, plenty of skinny die young, and when I think about it and take an average I've got to admit the heavier people generally seem happier. And to tell you the truth... honestly.. those three cousins who lost weight all seemed happier before they lost the weight. This presenter spoke in generalities, but I'm sure he's got a lot of tricks of his sleeve he didn't lay out for everyone for free here. Not to mention everything works over time. I cut out dairy in my twenties and bang, my energy levels were restored back to when I was a child. Now i stay away from white flour which tends to fog my brain and make me too tired. By the way if you are under 30, fuck you, you don't need this until 40... go away and have fun and don't let age get you down until it comes calling. I can't stand when young people worry about health over worrying about making the best of their youth. You don't go to a party to plan how to get home, you wait until closing time arrives or you won't have any damned fun.
dairy products are not good. none of them. that includes dairy butter - it contains oxidized cholesterol (the bad type, a lot of it) due to the process by which it is created. It doesn't matter what the cow ate, or how much "massages" it got. Fats shouldn't be exposed to air before ingesting in general. Milk is supposed to be ingested directly from the breast. But cow dairy is optimized for calves, and is actually harmful for humans. There are surprisingly strong correlations of Dairy milk consumption with many illness like diabetes, cancer, etc. Dave, you really have to take dairy out of the bulletproof diet.
darn, one crazy vegan guy who has bad things to say about animal products. this has never been done before, he sure shut down all the arguments. so i guess all this is missproven then
yeah, all the doctors that recommended against the use of animal products for the 2015 dietary guidelines for americans are crazy, so is the physicians committee for responsible medicine and the president of the american college of cardiology
I appreciate that you did your own body lab work - so i don’t have to do the excesses you put yourself through, including 300K! You are an outlier who upsets the currently accepted limited applecart of body science. Thank you! 👏👏👏
I agree with everything except for the beans and legumes. They are good for you. Maybe not the coffee bean but red,black,pinto beans and legumes are great if you're not allergic to them. They are a healthy carb (sweet potatoes and yams included. Good dietary fiber). Remember there's more than one way to "skin a cat" and at the end of the day, what you put in is what you get out. Eat real food you will feel better. Thanks for posting!
Thanks so much for the bulletproof diet. Downloaded it and making grocery list of green one in my language. I am living in Turkey , I hope geographical difference wouldn't be my concern...
Dear Dave Asprey, great for you about the amazing outcomes and truths you have attained. I did something similar but without so much money I had to use my fancy to understand how my body works. To be fair I should re-watch the video 'cause I did not understand if you promote coffee or not. And to be fair I think you should improve your comunicative skills. Sometime you seem unsure and fake. I hope this could help you. I don't want cast any doubt about your sincerity. Thank you.
hate the haters man...chose to see the good thing for once..then do it again...

til he said that walking is no exercise, he was totally right... Walking also (as wel as chewing) activates that big vine in your head, which will encourage oxygen flow to your brain.. Ok it's not an exercise, but an healthy thing to do (healthier than jogging, as that kills your knees and maybe your heart as wel)
The thing that is not being taken into consideration is that we are all born with one of two different models of brain. There is this seven percent vs ninety three percent split between typical and atypical brains. A lot of this stuff works for the majority and not for the minority. After discovering which I was born with I can see my mental condition more clearly now.
I can't tell if he is a total quack as all the experts below seem to indicate, but I like the thought provoking subject matter he so boringly spoke about. He's so calm and centered. Doesn't seem to be a full snake oil salesman or a scientist. This talk brings up some things i'd like to investigate though. I'd love to improve myself. At a minimum this talk should get us all thinking about the possibility and potential of improving everything about ourselves with seemingly easy adjustments and hacks. I do wish someone could just write bullet point instructions though... like complete steps1-10, and then just be awesome. I'll try being greatful and positive to start.
For someone that has developed superior ways of focusing and processing information, his language doesn't reflect this: "People that are healthier DIE LESS OFTEN than those that are less healthy." I thought everyone only dies once.
he meant between a group of more healthy people and less healthy people, the group of healthy people loses its members to death less often than the other group.
Seeing gluten on a list of toxins made it hard to take the rest of the video seriously. Unless that list was specific to people with celiac, which it wasn't. It's good that this guy educates himself and learns about what he is putting in his body, but he should re-evaluate his sources if they are telling him that gluten is, as a rule, unhealthy.
He missed the point of the scientific method somewhat (reproducibility, big data, double blindness, controls, etc) but it's great to see the general public have an interest in health, even if it stems from a mid life crisis. The "remedies" he suggeats are exactly what they sound like, a book launch, but health research has never been better so it's great he points people in that direction. The toxins bit is just funny, like the food babe.... Look up Cochrane collection for real data and information. It's peer reviewed and statistically significant. This is a sales pitch.
Jon Giuliani he offers all of his information for free on his blog, along with the sources and references he uses. at least do the smallest modicum of research before hurling claims.
Have you read the references? And since when is free stuff accurate? He is a charlatan, and now a recognised one. Homeopathy, paleo diet, up there with them idiots. "The reference about cereal grains, for example, begins with a quote from the Bible and is written by a man called Loren Cordain, otherwise known as the author of The Paleo Diet, a health plan that involves eating only foods that were available to humans during the Paleolithic (or caveman) era, and has been widely discredited." from very public source you can Google.
tdark987 there are different types of cognitive stimulants. Some fuck up your brain, others do not and can even be preventative for brain desease; such as Alzheimer.
tdark987 He takes Provigil, which is more like an anti-depressant than a classic stimulant. It's a "wakefulness promoting agent" which just means it turns your brains tired switch off. It doesn't make you jumpy or jittery. Doctors, lawyers, Wall Street ... they're all taking it.
I think the issue here is that he did all of this and continues to do so out of fear. Therefore, all he projects and pitches is this idea of avoiding his fear instead of taking it head on. It's a whole investment in avoidance. However, the interest lies in the truth that we can connect with our body and all aspects of our body fuel our mind and need to be tended to and treated correctly. If he loves himself and connects instead of hacks his body I think he would find more positive feedback.
Pretty sure my liver works without my body having to 'focus attention' on it. Not sure my body has that kind of innate self-awareness to be honest. This is a classic example where nuggets of truth are dispensed, backed up with facts, then nonsense is added in such a way to make people assume it follow naturally from the facts. For example, 'coffee beans contain small amounts of mould, and I can back that up with studies. Mould in coffee causes x, y, and z, so therefore...' The idea the mould in coffee is responsible for any kind of negative effect is pure theory, and a pretty rubbish theory at that. But its being presented as fact because he can back up the fact that mould exists.
Well that system is heaven sent it helps when we need it. Reacting to things we wouldn't faster then we would if we didn't have it. I was not even really thinking I was a bit spaced out after a terrible I mean terrible encounter and a child was near me running a car was parked and a car flying up the road so I was told by her mommy. She was screaming I didn't even hear her, I grabbed the child and pulled her back extremely fast she said and asked me how I had no idea until she was behind me that I did and I still didn't let go noticed the red car about half a mile away. She was crying her mom, she hugged me and the car pretty much skimmed her it was that close. I saved her and why we need preservation. Very true story and I have a few more too.
I never get more than six hours and see way too much in my environment I say that because the things ppl do can be unpretty. I'm thankful I saved that child I believe she will be special in more than many ways. She was like sunshine and happy.
+Sabrina Batcher That is very true..I became vegan and now I only need six hours sleep ... I wanted to sleep more but no way. It is a great feeling to wake up rested ..
+DevN This is one of the few things he mentions that actually has had a lot of successful studies. The problem is that it varies person to person. The amount of sleep one person requires (that being restful sleep) may be longer or shorter than that of even a sibling.
Exactly. The "Starvation Mode" is widely overlooked. In my 60 years I've watched dieters AFTER they stop a diet most often gaining MORE weight because their body is now in starvation mode and hording calories - even though they aren't eating abnormally.
This dude put butter in his coffee and turned it into an entrepreneurship? I'm in my 40's and started "bio-hacking" before it was even called that back in my teens through meditation, biofeedback, studying nutrition and exercise and you don't have to spend $300,000 to learn it. There are so many ways to easily learn meditation through CD's and books that it's ridiculous. With just that alone you can learn to get by on 5 hours of sleep a night and improve both your mental and physical performance. And as far as the diet goes, I've seen diet fads come and go, and while they might all contain a little bit of truth, it's everyone's individual responsibility to learn what diet works best for their genetics and lifestyle, and the best bet still seems to be: Proper nutrition+Healthy lifestyle=Healthy Person. Don't get me wrong, there's something about this guy that I like because he and I have a similar interest, but the idea that he's sharing some new great discovery or that it takes 40 years or a ton of money to learn what he's spouting is complete BS. Get a library card and learn to find QUALITY information (not advertisements disguised as information) on the internet, and everything this guy has learned or teaches can be yours for free.
Put a wireless router next to your bed and measure the change in sleep quality with your iPhone. Because iPhones aren't electromagnetic devices at all, right?
Got skeptical when he was talking about exercise and how it wouldn't help much. He clearly doesn't know how to exercise because exercise is proven to make the brain functioning stronger as well as the body. 5 hours sleep would be shit and you feel groggy.
14:35 Get the book for free. $ 26.99 Hard cover $ 16.99 Paperback Is he luring us to pay for what he promote as free? I don't know what to say about those who comment positive!
Go pay a lot more to see a dr who wont help you, compared to getting information from someone who has actual experience with illness.. If you dont want to care for your health, that's on you. Keep eating your white bread.
Jay Wilkinson These "better living through chemistry" types have been around a long time. A lot of what he said is certainly not supported by existing research of the quality I would need to believe it. He keeps talking about how healthy he is, but he certainly looks all of his age, if not more. I mean, if he said "surprise, I'm 65" then I might be impressed. I suspect 90% of his "better life" can be accounted for by the Provigil. There really isn't enough long term data on that drug to be using it unless you really must. Unfortunately, he is not alone in that. I echo the concern of others that this ended up on a TED Talk.
Support your claim with evidence. Otherwise it's just an opinion. Why is it bullshit? What's your source? What's your credibility? Ted an tedx talks are about spreading knowledge.
Anthony Jackson Your right Ted and Tedx are an excellent source of knowledge and credibility......thank you for your bullshit, it has fertalised many more fields and cultivated many more bullshit crops for many more bullshit starving children
I totally agree. He says coffee is bad, then had "special toxin free" coffee for sale in the back LOL. He has love handles and a nut pouch and claims he has hacked his way to a six pack and optimal body performance. He claims his brain is operating at peek performance and makes dozens of mistakes in the very talk he is giving like referring to asteroids as comets, saying um and uhh and trailing off. He claims his genius provided him with all the money in the world and at the end of his talk he says to show graditude beyond all else, yet his site charges money for simple images. What a snake oil salesman.
Dymon, he stopped needing it about 5 years ago, and has stated many times it was only a temporary solution for extreme fatigue brain fog severe fibromyalgia systematic arthritis from severe mold & heavy metal poisoning thyroid issues etc etc etc countless doctors couldn’t find the source of and he had to learn to cure himself. U obviously haven’t been thru it urself. He’s one of the absolute best sources available anywhere when it comes to teaching people how to heal.

But cow dairy is optimized for calves, and is actually harmful for humans. There are surprisingly strong correlations of Dairy milk consumption with many illness like diabetes, cancer, etc. Dave, you really have to take dairy out of the bulletproof diet.
thank you thank you thank you
Radu Simionescu i bet he would be interested in hearing good sources for butter being bad so he could stop eating tons of it
wasdwasdedsf every source you need at nutritionfacts.org
darn, one crazy vegan guy who has bad things to say about animal products. this has never been done before, he sure shut down all the arguments.
so i guess all this is missproven then
yeah, all the doctors that recommended against the use of animal products for the 2015 dietary guidelines for americans are crazy, so is the physicians committee for responsible medicine and the president of the american college of cardiology
I appreciate that you did your own body lab work - so i don’t have to do the excesses you put yourself through, including 300K!
You are an outlier who upsets the currently accepted limited applecart of body science.
Thank you! 👏👏👏
I agree with everything except for the beans and legumes. They are good for you. Maybe not the coffee bean but red,black,pinto beans and legumes are great if you're not allergic to them. They are a healthy carb (sweet potatoes and yams included. Good dietary fiber). Remember there's more than one way to "skin a cat" and at the end of the day, what you put in is what you get out. Eat real food you will feel better. Thanks for posting!
Excellent lecture.....
Thanks so much for the bulletproof diet. Downloaded it and making grocery list of green one in my language. I am living in Turkey , I hope geographical difference wouldn't be my concern...
stumbled upon this and found it very interesting.
same
+tedx this talk is BS. I'm a former engineer at where he claims to have worked: He's lying. This whole talk is a lie; it should be taken down
Fsor something

The comments here are priceless.
The title sounds really good but the talk isn't...........
Otherwise known as Bulletproof Coffee
Remember, you're looking for gold. Get one good idea, that's all you need.
He sounds different. Modifying many aspects of living. good luck.
This should be called how to lower your testosterone and athletic performance.
Not to mention the hormonal imbalance.
I sleep 26 and sleep 8 hours a night. I've now decided to write my will.
Seriously, grains and legumes! I am from Asia, grains and legumes are the daily base food for most people here in my country…
Bio-hacking starts at 8:21
Dear Dave Asprey, great for you about the amazing outcomes and truths you have attained. I did something similar but without so much money I had to use my fancy to understand how my body works. To be fair I should re-watch the video 'cause I did not understand if you promote coffee or not. And to be fair I think you should improve your comunicative skills. Sometime you seem unsure and fake. I hope this could help you. I don't want cast any doubt about your sincerity. Thank you.
Coffee? Definitely a yes...he is the owner inventor of 'Bulletproof Coffee'.
I love you Dave!!!
hate the haters man...chose to see the good thing for once..then do it again...
til he said that walking is no exercise, he was totally right... Walking also (as wel as chewing) activates that big vine in your head, which will encourage oxygen flow to your brain.. Ok it's not an exercise, but an healthy thing to do (healthier than jogging, as that kills your knees and maybe your heart as wel)
The thing that is not being taken into consideration is that we are all born with one of two different models of brain. There is this seven percent vs ninety three percent split between typical and atypical brains. A lot of this stuff works for the majority and not for the minority. After discovering which I was born with I can see my mental condition more clearly now.
Thank you!
*Just put oil in your coffee and you're all good*
I can't tell if he is a total quack as all the experts below seem to indicate, but I like the thought provoking subject matter he so boringly spoke about. He's so calm and centered. Doesn't seem to be a full snake oil salesman or a scientist. This talk brings up some things i'd like to investigate though. I'd love to improve myself. At a minimum this talk should get us all thinking about the possibility and potential of improving everything about ourselves with seemingly easy adjustments and hacks. I do wish someone could just write bullet point instructions though... like complete steps1-10, and then just be awesome. I'll try being greatful and positive to start.
Useful talk.
Thank you
"Dave your my hero"
Its you're
Brilliant!
For someone that has developed superior ways of focusing and processing information, his language doesn't reflect this: "People that are healthier DIE LESS OFTEN than those that are less healthy." I thought everyone only dies once.
he meant between a group of more healthy people and less healthy people, the group of healthy people loses its members to death less often than the other group.
Seeing gluten on a list of toxins made it hard to take the rest of the video seriously. Unless that list was specific to people with celiac, which it wasn't. It's good that this guy educates himself and learns about what he is putting in his body, but he should re-evaluate his sources if they are telling him that gluten is, as a rule, unhealthy.
He missed the point of the scientific method somewhat (reproducibility, big data, double blindness, controls, etc) but it's great to see the general public have an interest in health, even if it stems from a mid life crisis. The "remedies" he suggeats are exactly what they sound like, a book launch, but health research has never been better so it's great he points people in that direction. The toxins bit is just funny, like the food babe.... Look up Cochrane collection for real data and information. It's peer reviewed and statistically significant. This is a sales pitch.
Jon Giuliani he offers all of his information for free on his blog, along with the sources and references he uses. at least do the smallest modicum of research before hurling claims.
Have you read the references? And since when is free stuff accurate? He is a charlatan, and now a recognised one. Homeopathy, paleo diet, up there with them idiots.
"The reference about cereal grains, for example, begins with a quote from the Bible and is written by a man called Loren Cordain, otherwise known as the author of The Paleo Diet, a health plan that involves eating only foods that were available to humans during the Paleolithic (or caveman) era, and has been widely discredited." from very public source you can Google.
RyTrapp0 I am sure he was helpful to you and many others, I hope he inspires you to take the time to discover the scientific method of enquiry
Isn't this the guy who takes speed?
tdark987 no
tdark987 there are different types of cognitive stimulants. Some fuck up your brain, others do not and can even be preventative for brain desease; such as Alzheimer.
tdark987 He takes Provigil, which is more like an anti-depressant than a classic stimulant. It's a "wakefulness promoting agent" which just means it turns your brains tired switch off. It doesn't make you jumpy or jittery. Doctors, lawyers, Wall Street ... they're all taking it.
+captaincarl1 i cant believe thats so normal in America. In Europe we fix the problem instead of numb it with drugs.
sophietje11 fix what problem?
I think the issue here is that he did all of this and continues to do so out of fear. Therefore, all he projects and pitches is this idea of avoiding his fear instead of taking it head on. It's a whole investment in avoidance. However, the interest lies in the truth that we can connect with our body and all aspects of our body fuel our mind and need to be tended to and treated correctly. If he loves himself and connects instead of hacks his body I think he would find more positive feedback.
Can't stand this guy - The only Ted Talk I've ever disliked.
He is selling his book.
Pretty sure my liver works without my body having to 'focus attention' on it. Not sure my body has that kind of innate self-awareness to be honest.
This is a classic example where nuggets of truth are dispensed, backed up with facts, then nonsense is added in such a way to make people assume it follow naturally from the facts. For example, 'coffee beans contain small amounts of mould, and I can back that up with studies. Mould in coffee causes x, y, and z, so therefore...' The idea the mould in coffee is responsible for any kind of negative effect is pure theory, and a pretty rubbish theory at that. But its being presented as fact because he can back up the fact that mould exists.
Ever been hungover before?
Ever take a test hungover?
Yeah... Thought so...
This is an exaggeration btw. To prove a point. A hyperbole.
Well that system is heaven sent it helps when we need it. Reacting to things we wouldn't faster then we would if we didn't have it. I was not even really thinking I was a bit spaced out after a terrible I mean terrible encounter and a child was near me running a car was parked and a car flying up the road so I was told by her mommy. She was screaming I didn't even hear her, I grabbed the child and pulled her back extremely fast she said and asked me how I had no idea until she was behind me that I did and I still didn't let go noticed the red car about half a mile away. She was crying her mom, she hugged me and the car pretty much skimmed her it was that close. I saved her and why we need preservation. Very true story and I have a few more too.
I never get more than six hours and see way too much in my environment I say that because the things ppl do can be unpretty. I'm thankful I saved that child I believe she will be special in more than many ways. She was like sunshine and happy.
dude cant even button his shirt right
Ha
"People who sleep 9 hours a night die more often" What? do the other people sometimes become immortal?
andrew welsh 30% increased chance of dying for 2hour oversleeping as opposed to around 16% for 2 hour of sleeping less
andrew welsh also, ASAPScience has a short video explaining all this sleep thing :)
+Sabrina Batcher That is very true..I became vegan and now I only need six hours sleep ... I wanted to sleep more but no way. It is a great feeling to wake up rested ..
le th it's still a really poor way of explaining it though.
+andrew welsh pegadinha
i am skeptic about
+DevN This is one of the few things he mentions that actually has had a lot of successful studies. The problem is that it varies person to person. The amount of sleep one person requires (that being restful sleep) may be longer or shorter than that of even a sibling.
If you're truly in a caloric deficit you're going to lose weight, period.
it's not just calories ITS where they are
Also when you're in caloric deficit you start by losing muscles, and only after that, you'll start losing fat.
nope
Doctor
Exactly. The "Starvation Mode" is widely overlooked. In my 60 years I've watched dieters AFTER they stop a diet most often gaining MORE weight because their body is now in starvation mode and hording calories - even though they aren't eating abnormally.
Why does this feel like a TED talk infomercial?
Because it is.
Giant Sales Pitch
This dude put butter in his coffee and turned it into an entrepreneurship? I'm in my 40's and started "bio-hacking" before it was even called that back in my teens through meditation, biofeedback, studying nutrition and exercise and you don't have to spend $300,000 to learn it. There are so many ways to easily learn meditation through CD's and books that it's ridiculous. With just that alone you can learn to get by on 5 hours of sleep a night and improve both your mental and physical performance. And as far as the diet goes, I've seen diet fads come and go, and while they might all contain a little bit of truth, it's everyone's individual responsibility to learn what diet works best for their genetics and lifestyle, and the best bet still seems to be: Proper nutrition+Healthy lifestyle=Healthy Person. Don't get me wrong, there's something about this guy that I like because he and I have a similar interest, but the idea that he's sharing some new great discovery or that it takes 40 years or a ton of money to learn what he's spouting is complete BS. Get a library card and learn to find QUALITY information (not advertisements disguised as information) on the internet, and everything this guy has learned or teaches can be yours for free.
very nice
Put a wireless router next to your bed and measure the change in sleep quality with your iPhone. Because iPhones aren't electromagnetic devices at all, right?
Got skeptical when he was talking about exercise and how it wouldn't help much. He clearly doesn't know how to exercise because exercise is proven to make the brain functioning stronger as well as the body. 5 hours sleep would be shit and you feel groggy.
So we should not drink coffee? I don't know what to do :/
Go for tea !
Yeah seriously. The guy pushes his coffee but has a slide telling you all that's bad about it...
Are Tedx the talks that are self funded?
Tektite Genome - The Future of Clean Today
Great talk. The comments are boring and of no real use here. See if you can get yourselves on Tedx then you can have a valid opinion.
Why is he not giving references ? Why does the description not have links to the studies.
great one

Get the book for free.
$ 26.99 Hard cover
$ 16.99 Paperback
Is he luring us to pay for what he promote as free?
I don't know what to say about those who comment positive!
He encourages people to ignore the nuance and that is just outright dangerous.
Go pay a lot more to see a dr who wont help you, compared to getting information from someone who has actual experience with illness.. If you dont want to care for your health, that's on you. Keep eating your white bread.
This is 21:25 of complete bullshit that can fertalise many fields
Jay Wilkinson These "better living through chemistry" types have been around a long time. A lot of what he said is certainly not supported by existing research of the quality I would need to believe it. He keeps talking about how healthy he is, but he certainly looks all of his age, if not more. I mean, if he said "surprise, I'm 65" then I might be impressed. I suspect 90% of his "better life" can be accounted for by the Provigil. There really isn't enough long term data on that drug to be using it unless you really must. Unfortunately, he is not alone in that. I echo the concern of others that this ended up on a TED Talk.
Jay Wilkinson You expected otherwise from an entrepreneur?
Support your claim with evidence. Otherwise it's just an opinion. Why is it bullshit? What's your source? What's your credibility? Ted an tedx talks are about spreading knowledge.
Anthony Jackson Your right Ted and Tedx are an excellent source of knowledge and credibility......thank you for your bullshit, it has fertalised many more fields and cultivated many more bullshit crops for many more bullshit starving children
I totally agree. He says coffee is bad, then had "special toxin free" coffee for sale in the back LOL.
He has love handles and a nut pouch and claims he has hacked his way to a six pack and optimal body performance.
He claims his brain is operating at peek performance and makes dozens of mistakes in the very talk he is giving like referring to asteroids as comets, saying um and uhh and trailing off.
He claims his genius provided him with all the money in the world and at the end of his talk he says to show graditude beyond all else, yet his site charges money for simple images.
What a snake oil salesman.
Starts speech with book plug...never a good sign.
it's a 20 second book plug for 20 minutes of content.
He takes Provigil every day to function and stay awake. I don't trust one word he says.
How do you know that?
@@AngelOne11 maybe that's his wife?
@@Bitachon lol very good guess :P
Dymon, he stopped needing it about 5 years ago, and has stated many times it was only a temporary solution for extreme fatigue brain fog severe fibromyalgia systematic arthritis from severe mold & heavy metal poisoning thyroid issues etc etc etc countless doctors couldn’t find the source of and he had to learn to cure himself.
U obviously haven’t been thru it urself. He’s one of the absolute best sources available anywhere when it comes to teaching people how to heal.
Does anyone knows anything about that site that blocks the blue spectrum, i'm interested but can't find it. Is it flocs?
+Momo Pérez f.lux it's a free program you can download to your computer, tablet and / or some smartphones (no android apperantly :( but I use it on my computer and it works great)
thanks!
what happened to his six pack? it kinda is lapping his belt..............

how's your's going?

I agree the message give it ago this is what I used and done
Dont just sit on the side lines of life.
It was like watching paint dry. Really narcissistic paint.
+Cheryl64014 Well said..
Thank you. :)
+Cheryl64014
It is just your self-doubt talking.
+Cheryl64014 LOL- thank you for that comment. I may need to adopt it for future use. >D
I didn't pick up on any narcissistic behaviour in his speech. maybe it's you?
justgetflux.com/ is the software that alters the colors of your monitor to more red shift spectrum in evening. If you are building websites, then make sure to turn it off to test the colors. Can also put red light bulbs with dimmer in lamps to use before bed. Avoid blue spectrum light. -- Most thing I agree with him is that practicing gratitude each day is very helpful for lowering stress reaction in the body.

This is so bad, i have to stop this video now.
