Let me know what your favorite piece of advice was from Dave! I’d like to invite you to join this community and subscribe to the channel. By hitting the 'Subscribe' button, you're not just becoming a subscriber - you're choosing to make a positive difference in your life.
I'm sorry but how am I gonna be older than someone, look younger than said person, and listen to him tell ppl how to look 20 yrs younger????!!!😂😂😂 I hoped he was 90 THEN. I might've been impressed. He's 50????!!! Seriously Jay why did you tell that man he looked young😂😂😂
Did you pull this guy off the street? Was he smoking something? And how can you listen to his garbage about how he farms and kills his own animals etc. and manage to keep a straight face?
I just discovered you and I really align with your primary message. You have wonderful guests and positive, helpful content. Thanks so much Jay! Cheers, Liz
Bunch of haters. LISTEN
Jay, I think we need you looking out for us and validate the stuff the guests say, but because many will believe it all without reservations because it's coming through you and your channel. We need someone to protect us from bad information (that could drain out money and focus).
“If you can be triggered it means you’re walking around with a loaded gun. You need to unload the gun. It’s not everyone else’s job to make you not shoot them, it’s your job to say I’m not carrying a weapon anymore.” This was a massively valuable part that I wish everyone could hear!
Yep…. It’s the individuals responsibility
Gabor Mate is the originator of that saying.
Really...ha...ha....goes for those who carry loaded guns for others too.
Also....you mean don't defend yourself.
Genuine triggers are biological and not something you can think away, like depression, addiction, cancer, arthritis or a broken bone.
I Love this and all interviews by Jay. He has helped me change my life for the best. Towards the end of this interview, Jays says “ I want to get this right so I can make getting old easier.” Which I personally thought was the way to go. But lo and behold Dave interrupted and shut it down saying “your goal sucks” lol 😂😂😂. I have never seen such a response on the show. Though funny, Jay shows us that it is okay to be called out. He handled that very professionally and allowed himself to learn and understand. Great stuff keep it coming Jay. You are such a blessing to me.
I am so thankful & grateful for tuning in all shorts of this episode to prioritise my health & well being so l can truly live my best youthful life to do things more efficiently & effectively when travelling and be back for the full podcast! Keep up the great work! I am tuned in! 🎉❤😊
I very much agree. Great info
I’m so appreciative for this. Thank you 🙏. Jay you’ve inspired me since you first turned up to share your wisdom. Dave is crushing it with inspiration on so many topics that most of us are finding our true priorities from. I’m 70 a grandmother and mother of 4. I am very much younger than my years because I laugh more than anyone I know, and have always been experiencing the affect of my heart being open in life. It’s my superpower. Listening to peeps like you raises my vibration. You are “VIBRATION HACKERS” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Keep doing what you doing.It’s working.People are so miserable these days and the misery comes From their head.Life is good .
He looks a lot older than 50. I thought he was in his 60’s. I understand looks is not everything. How you feel inside is more important, but I always thought if you’re healthy inside it will reflect on the outside.
i'm sure this guy is highly intelligent ......but you're right! from a marketing point of you, his looks aren't the best advertisement for what he is trying to sell, he does look older than 50
Completely agree! He looks mid 60s at least, so he is not a good example of what he is teaching!
💯 it's true,I wouldn't say 60 but he looks about 50 according to society and the calendar. Dr David Sinclair says if you're young on the inside,it should also project to the outside
He's gone gray
There is a high correlation between someone's apparent age and their internal speed of aging.
Thank you for all these episodes and thank you for all your guests. I really appreciate this content.
Thank you so very much for interviewing Dave. I have watched this more than five times, and listening to you both feels like therapy. It gives you hope :)
Thank you for posting these I listen every day while I work out blessings
I love this particular show w/ Dave so much i listened twice
I love Dave!!!!! This is the episode I needed. I’m so excited about this!!!
BE CAREFUL following the guy’s advice. He gives a LOT of recommendations saying they’re “science based” but the studies are often either really bad / non-peer reviewed with super small sample size or based on a rat experiment only (when only 1 in 5 rat experiments end up translating to humans)
I agree - recommendations based on bad science.
Annnnnd, he looks ragged out 😮
Absolutely... this shill has been flogging other people's ideas since he claimed to get high on yak butter in a monastery. Much of what he promotes is baseless...other than what is adds to his bottom line.
Follow the science - not that science though.
Thank you for Your advice
I wake up every day, I make a latte, I have a bagel with butter and bacon. People say I look like I’m in my 20s. I’m 46 years old. Genetics plays a big part.
Are you miserable in your everyday life.. or feeling fulfilled, good relationships, happy about your jobs, eat good food, sleep well?
Also eating fat keeps your face young
You can’t say that without showing a picture. ;) please show us how you look! Can’t take it for face value. Need evidence to be inspired by.
Indeed, older individuals who are skinny may appear older than their overweight counterparts. This is due to the lack of fat in their facial skin, which causes the skin to sag and gives them an older appearance. However, despite their older appearance, they may actually be younger on the inside.
@@nomad_ape Very much true, but Vanity sells no matter the age
This was validation that I taught my kids correctly. Yes, you should feel angry when someone bullies you but there should be another emotion that feels empathy towards them because clearly they are going through a terrible time.
I teach understanding, taking the time to understand your own feeling and why the other person is acting out and bullying others. Once you understand their behaviors aren’t your fault, you don’t have feel as confused. Then my little one can have more space in their brain to learn other things and spend less time stressed about not understanding.
Love this. Thanks for sharing. @@haileybloop5606
Tell that to Junko Furuta
Yeah. This world has some crazies. I am happy to be walking a path with God.@@aviana3841
huh?
Meditation is a very powerful tool I have experienced in my own life. You can only love other people if you first love yourself and able to let go what does not longer serve you
You are one of a kind, sista❤ I resonate 100% Sending love n good vibes
A great perspective of life and a phenomenal vision as a successful entrepreneur. Very beneficial information. Thank you, both, for sharing. Love and blessings.
I read Dave's book "Smarter Not Harder". He makes some good points and gives some good advice. Some I would disagree with and pumping the idea that vegetarians and their diet are a detriment and one should eat lots of meat does NOT show up on his face! I'm 71 and Dave looks older than I do and he's only 50! And yes, I take supplements, exercise, meditate, etc. He works out on expensive machines, takes expensive supplements and look what you get! When he's my age he may look like the HBO Crypt Keeper. One needs to pick and choose and see what works for them.
Imagine how old Dave Asprey would look without all his biohacking
😂
LMAO
He appears older because he has lost fat in his face, which has caused his skin to sag. However, his body and metabolism might actually be younger. This is also the case with Bryan Johnson. The only solution to this issue is to inject fat into the facial skin, which is what Bryan Johnson did.
@@nomad_ape Doesn't explain the dramatic increase in wrinkles which is a manifestation of aging. He can talk as much as he wants about it, it hasn't been working.
Body looks younger, but skin in face😮
Thank you for this interview. Love this man. ❤
I just finished reading Dave's book, but was great listen to the review of his compiled knowledge.
Awesome video! Its rad to see Dave talking about life extension!
Nice episode. Paul Lafargue, who married Karl Marx's daughter, wrote a book "Le Droit à la paresse" (The Right to Laziness), in which he argues that civilization is built on laziness (discovering technologies to replace human labor). Could not help but think of that as I was watching this show.
Efficiency is NOT a laziness..
Thank you for the interview ❤
Great interview! The world really needs more people like Dave Asprey to help people live longer, stronger and healthier. For me, the most interesting point is the new type of oil which has the same safe profile of olive oil and still can be used in cooking. God bless you guys. You are making the world a better place! ❤❤❤
What’s with all these aging gurus obsessing over getting younger and not dying? It should all be about happiness and quality of life, with a right and healthy balance, imo
It's about aging well. Your last 10 years can be dramatically different if you are healthy. Many don't and spend their final days in wheelchairs or bedbound. I would rather be healthy until the end.
Very true about being healthy until the end. I think that’s extremely important.
Just living stress free is important imo. Science always changes. Any thing is possible and every one is different
Agreed.
Dave A, you are a gift to humanity. This interview l was meant for me to see and learn all of what you explained to the world today. I love you as a beautiful human being peace and blessings. I will forgive so it will set me free from. Stress and relieving my hurt.
I am loving this interview! I have bought a Peloton bike and use the tabata 10 minute cycle classes to do this type of workout. My energy is improving as well as my sleep.
I was completely shocked to see how much Dave has aged. He looks much older than 50.
Because hes on his bullshit animal foods now
I could actually believe him if he was in his late 60s...
Yes yes we certainly do not have to get old.. quick question though if coffee is acidic how does it nourish the blood you did say bulletproof coffee right 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😮 what am I missing here make it love your podcast
I could be wrong but it doesn't matter whether what you eat/drink is acidic, neutral or alkaline because it all goes into the stomach which is filled with hydrochloric acid. This acid (among other things), breaks everything down to make it available for our body to use.
love your podcast. thank you!!! on purpose is soo good
Also , besides the “ forgiveness part” Very very interesting and useful content, very insightful! Im just working on putting together my own diet plan and I feel very inspired ! Thank u Jay for bringing up such great guests once again !😊
THANK YOU JAY SHETTY. SUCH AN INSPIRING SPEAKER. SUCH AN AMAZING SOUL
The more I learn about biohacking the more I realize how ridiculous it really is. And especially coming from people who are trying to sell you things.
Biohacking works. But. D Ass Prey is THE LAST PERSON on the planet who id be listening to on this topic. Btw.. Im a Biochem graduate with 30 yrs of biohacking research..
@@0FuksgivenD ass prey? I’ll check out on what that is 😂 and I’m sure biohacking works, we just need to figure out how to make it works
@@0Fuksgivenhi. I’m new to this whole subject. So you’re saying you would take this guys info with a grain of salt? Because the guys pretty convincing.. but he could just be good at that.
@@kasietaylor6458 Come on... look at the state of him. Hes supposed to be 50 and looks older than a 75 year old. Unfortunately its true. If anyone wants to optimise their health, the first thing we have to do is ensure the fundamentals are addressed 1st. Ask me anything, I'll happily answer your questions Ms Taylor.
@@0Fuksgivencould you explain why? Genuinely I’d like to know.
Thank you, great interview and information
Another great interview jay love these tips 💯🫶
Wow what an amazing interview I love Dave Asprey so much he needs to have a national broadcast calling out all this misleading health food and information. You asked all the right questions Jay, as you always do. This is one of my new favorites. I sent this podcast to 6 of my family members. I hope they get as much as I did from listening to this interview.
Wow!....you just blew my mind was this sentence... "practice gratitude b4 you eat the meat" as a religious Jewess, I now understand why I was tought to say different blessing over each food group!! thank you for the validation of the old Testament... You should be blessed w a long healthy happy life... Ella from London 🇬🇧
This is the saddest affair indeed. You really want to feel gratitude before knowingly eating an animal??
I bet it makes all the difference to the animal.
From the river to the sea…
excellent guest , loved this one!
Jay you read my mind from across the world...thank you for doing this with Dave. Your personalities tho are soo soo opposite it really suprised me to see you do this interview. Hoping maybe you helped him humble a little bit. People judge him negatively because hes so confident in what hes trying to share and it sucks ppl arent seeing everything he is and has been through and done.
I had heard of a lot of investing with Mrs Jane and how good she is, please how safe are the profits?
Jane was my hope during the ‘bear summer’s last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned from it, and of course she is also my number source when it comes to crypto and TA.
I know Mrs. Jane too and I have been trading with her, she is such an amazing woman and her skills keep me happy all week knowing I earn $10k extra income trading with her
Her accurate singles, coupled with her sound advice and risk management techniques, have completely transformed my trading trading strategy.
I really appreciate your clear and simple breakdown on financial pitfalls ! I lost so much money on crypto market but now making around $5k-$7k every week trading different crypto’s and stocks
I have to say, while he has some good points. I think health and biological age is something that is visible. Dave Asprey is 50 years old and he very much looks 50 years old. I think for longevity and health the person to listen to is Bryan Johnson. If you look at Bryan Johnson you KNOW whatever he's doing is working. Comparing a picture of when he was young to one right now you would swear it's not even the same person. He absolutely looks better than he has ever looked. I once saw an interview with someone who told him he looked like an elf (a fantasy elf, not elf on the shelf - perfect porcelain skin, solid body) and I have to agree. Dave Asprey doesn't look any different than your average, relatively healthy, guy next door.
Thanks for sharing this, amazing podcast!
Letting go of whatever caused your triggers 😮that’s is mind blowing if you really stop and listen so true wow!!!!
I would LOVE to see Dave Aspery and Bryan Johnson go head to head..
Bryan would win
LoVe LoVed this podcast which made me subscribe AND ☝🏽forward to my sisters 🥰 Thank you 🌱 I don’t care what I look like in the exterior as I don’t desire & I’ve let go of trying to keep up w/ appearances on social media BUT I do care how my body property functions in the inside. Thank you so much for pumping me up to continue in my healthy from the inside journey 🥰
Great interview👍
I loved every minute of this; thank you!
All seriousness aside....can we talk about Jays sweater at 0:30 ? It looks so cozy and fluffy..I need one in my life lolol
i want it too haha
Thank you Jay Shetty 😊.
Amazing. Love this ❤
He looks like he's about 62 years old.
😂 😂
I cannot wait to listen to this! Thank you!! ❤
Hope you enjoy the episode!
@@JayShettyPodcast.Jay, thanks again, I just started listening to it a second time, SO many great nuggets of information here, and what a great perspective!!! Totally challenges a lot of ways I think today and that excites me!! Thank you! ❤❤
Don't waste your time.
Thanks for the great always post cast 😊😊😊
Awesome conversation !!!
He looks above 70 years
I hadn't seen David for a few years and boy has he aged. If he can't show, how good is his advice? So far the only person to show physical evidence is David Sinclair.
David Sinclair looks so young for his age.
I think David sinclair looks his age, but just looks good at his age. Reclaiiming 5 years over a long time isnt impressive imo
Great informative video. 🙏
well i would say that i am missing a huge part about fermentation because it is a game changer! And it is the key to minimalize the phytic acid in plants...
I love your podcast, please can you change the painting in the background, I find it really offputting having "don't shoot" visible, and most of the time the word "don't", it's negative and it's hard to concentrate on the subject matter when watching. Thank you
I used to eat a lot of grass fed cow yogurt and whey protein, and had digestive issues all my life. They showed up as a problem for me on a food sensitivity test. When I stopped those the digestive issues all went away.
Thank you for the video 😊
just bought the book. Looking forward to reading it.
I like Dave but seriously he’s looking older not younger!
Love the explanation of getting to forgiveness. It resonates so beautifully with my faith in Jesus. At a cellular level, we are not created to walk in the grief of trauma and bitterness. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful, cut and dry movement through the hurting parts of being human, as a means to get to an experience that brings peace and authenticity to self. Awesome interview! Ha! As I’m writing this, Dave’s talking about the “cellular level”. Such a validation. Our souls are connected to this hive mind Source, that personally, I know to be what some might call the “Holy Spirit”. I love connecting to the deeper truths of reality with my community. It’s so grounding for my days. Thank you for the light you share. May we all reflect the source of it as we continue through this existence ❤️🥰
Finally I was able to pull this off, Now I'm in the womb of my mother chilling like I ever wanted!
Love it🔥👏
he is 50 years old, but he looks 55-60... I don’t know how it is internally, but externally he looks old... look at Jared Leto what they look like at 50 years old...
Genetics.
@@tnt01 when they don’t know the reason, they usually blame it on genetics...why don’t they invite people who, by personal example, look young and are healthy?
He grew up in a moldy home and it caused him issues well into his thirties even after being away from it.
He isn’t saying how you will look. It’s not about beauty, or physical appearance. It’s about internal health, strength & abilities, longevity.
@@dfinite4089 not always, but often appearance shows an excess or deficiency of vitamins, for example, a lack of vitamin A will cause dryness on your face, which will lead to wrinkles on your face, etc. therefore, his words differ from what I see, he also talks about the harm of almond milk, but it contains the most vitamin E, unlike coconut milk which has very few vitamins, and almond milk is drunk by many people who really look 10 years younger -20 years
Are there people following this guy? It's amazing how arrogant and unknowledgeable people make such a huge amount of money in this era of the planet. Just amazing...
Good interview, interesting information :)
Ask literally any athlete if they workout 15 minutes a week… LOL
Bulletproof coffee ☕ yumO❤❤❤❤
I been using it for years xD theres nothing like it
Gary had changed my life through breathing technique, sauna, ice plunge and finally started taking his supplements along with on it amino acids. I feel great today!!
Who is Gary?
I have the book and tell many people about it Thank you
With due respect he looks much older then his age..i send him the recepi of pastas of my grandmother
Mostly an infomercial.
If anything, the problem with alt milks is the added fillers, gums and sugars with the lack of protein in comparison to cows milk. The macros of cows milk are much more balanced than oat or almond. But that doesn't mean it's detrimental to your health.
Great conversation. Fun fact, he looks older than 50, its age. Sure a good salesman (I respect it)
Exactly. I guessed his age 60 before googling him.
There are many more people you can be interviewing than this guy. Interview people who really know the Science like Tim Spector from the Zoe podcast. He’s not trying to sell something.
Arent they selling a gut test which loads have complained about in pricing and not being able to get legit refunds?
"Coconut milk tastes awful" Wow ! I personnaly love fresh coconut milk ! Either like it is or in coffee or in some dishes
Coconut water is my favorite. 100% natural with a little pulp is delectable.
The human upgrade 🙌 😊take control of our own biology
❣️❤️ Thank you very much 🎉 Love and Peace ❤️❣️
I love Dave big fan. He looks super healthy, but he does look older than his age.
why hasnt the biohacking expert hacked that leather handbag of a face?
Can u sum up what he said?
the biggest hurdle to health and wellnes is energy vampires - the archon topic of topics
Can confirm.
It’s a amazing episode.
Just bought his bundle because of your video. I hope you get a cut. 😊
I’m just saying, only Jay Shetty gets amazing interviews like this that’s going to Journey
Something went really wrong with this one.
Dave Asprey has been on many podcasts....Ed Mylett to name one.
If you’re not trying to change the world for the better then living a longer life makes no sense 😂❤
Look at Dave Asprey interview with Danica Patrick from 2 years ago. He looks 10 years younger.
thank you.
He looks around his age but he does look healthy. Thats what matters. A lot of how you age is genetic . Actually a lot of his info is spot on. I don't think his mic of vitamins/Minerals is going to just fix everything and everyone. Ea person has different deficiency and different genetic Polymorphisms.
Well said.
I don't know what is Dave Asprey reversing, but for sure it's not his age, cause he's looking older than ever.
OMG...😂😂😂😂
I loooooove Dave!!!
I love his energy!
I have a doubt about whey protein, is it good or not? I heard its very damaging to the liver I didnt understand if its really recomended or not
Just eat real protein. Stay away from processed garbage. Meat and healthy fat. All ya need :)
@@Soapgirl64 its not really possible for me , I don't eat meat by religion, I grew up without it, I tried it twice in life, but its not a food I ate even in childhood , like Jay probably. When you never ate a food, its not easy to take it , also, in my religion I can't even enter a temple to pray if I ate meat. I can do eggs even if it feels like a very heavy food, I did take eggs as a kid and I can eat omelette. As my only option is a protein suplement I wonder if whey counts as processed or not, there are so many oposite opinions about it I dont know which ones is true.
He looks amazing for 80. Hope i look better when im 90
I am 23 yrs after watching it feelin like 3 yr
Your body has a really strong need to not waste energy ...work smarter not harder. Virtue comes from getting it done...nor the struggle
Bless Jay for not laughing at Daves pants & 90% of his 🪄
