It's Boring, But It Slashed ALL My Visceral Fat In My 50s : 1549

Dave Asprey shares the five unconventional health hacks that helped him lose over 100 pounds, eliminate brain fog, and feel younger in his 50s. He explains how adding grass-fed butter and MCT oil to coffee, eating more saturated fat, rejecting calorie counting, avoiding hidden anti-nutrients in common foods, and practicing intermittent fasting transformed his body. Asprey argues that food quality trumps quantity and that over-exercising can stall fat loss and accelerate aging. The episode is a solo breakdown of his personal protocol, drawing on discoveries made during a trip to Tibet.
