253: Don’t work hard – do THIS for your health

by Dr. Steven Gundry | May 2, 2023 | 0 comments

Ever find yourself skipping a workout, snoozing your alarm, or promising you’ll “do it tomorrow”?

The truth is, we’re ALL inclined to take the easy way out – because our bodies are actually programmed to be LAZY.

But according to my guest, the key to achieving optimum wellness actually isn’t about doing more – but doing LESS. He also says that with the right knowledge and tools, you can achieve lasting health with LESS time and effort.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dave Asprey, aka the “father of biohacking”, serial entrepreneur, and best-selling author.

We unpack his brand new book: Smarter Not Harder: The Biohacker’s Guide to Getting the Body and Mind You Want – and why he says it’s his best contribution to the biohacking community, yet.

Whether you’re looking to lose weight, sharpen your mind, or completely transform your health – the techniques we reveal can help you carve fewer hours out of your workout and exceed the results you’re looking for.

On this episode you’ll learn:

Why working harder does NOT always mean better results (and how you can get the most results with the least work) (4:20)
How to hack your mind to genuinely enjoy exercising (10:21)
Why cardio may be holding you back from real and lasting weight loss (13:00)
The shocking correlation between poor gut health and mental health issues like anxiety and depression (21:25)
Why common US-grown foods are poisoning your body AND the Earth (25:20)
Why all proteins are NOT built the same (and the best sources for every health goal) (35:55)
The trick NO ONE talks about for dramatically supporting gut and bone health (especially if you’re plant-based!) (47:10)
