56. The Deeper Reason You Still Feel Stuck (And How to Shift It) with Dave Asprey


Listen Later

What if the anxiety, fatigue, and reactivity you’re feeling… isn’t in your head, but wired into your biology?
In this groundbreaking episode, I sit down with Dave Asprey—biohacking pioneer, four-time New York Times bestselling author, and founder of Bulletproof Coffee—to explore how your mitochondria, brainwaves, and unprocessed emotions shape everything from your stress response to your intuition and longevity.
We dive into why healing goes far beyond diet and exercise, how unresolved triggers silently drain your energy, and why most people stay stuck in survival mode without knowing it.
Dave shares science-backed ways to rewire your nervous system, build emotional resilience, and shift into the elevated states that create true vitality and peace.
If you’re doing all the things but still feel stuck or burned out, this conversation will change how you see healing.
Dave Asprey is the founder of Bulletproof Coffee and Upgrade Labs, a pioneer in the biohacking movement, and author of Heavily Meditated: Your Roadmap to Untangling Anxiety, Moving Through Depression, and Reclaiming Your Life.
We Also Discuss:

12:55 — the surprising truth about meditation and nervous system healing
