Get ready to upgrade your cardiovascular health in a way you’ve never heard of before. Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Michael Twyman, a pioneering biohacking cardiologist who blends cutting-edge functional medicine with conventional wisdom to help you avoid heart attacks and strokes. If you think cardiovascular disease is inevitable, think again. Dr. Twyman reveals the hidden mechanisms behind heart disease, starting with the misunderstood role of plaque in your arteries and the essential yet underappreciated glycocalyx—a slippery gel-like coating that could be the key to preventing arterial damage.
From there, it’s all about prevention, prevention, prevention. Want to know how simple lifestyle tweaks can significantly reduce your risk of cardiovascular events? We’ve got the biohacks—grounding, sunlight exposure, cold plunges, and more—laid out for you in a step-by-step, easy-to-apply format. Dr. Twyman breaks down the crucial role of circadian biology and how aligning your body clock with natural light cycles can help protect your heart. Plus, learn why grounding might just be the ultimate, free anti-inflammatory tool you’ve been missing.
This episode isn’t just about tips and tricks—it’s a complete roadmap to understanding and optimizing your heart health. Dave and Dr. Twyman get into the nitty-gritty of lab tests you should be asking for, why exercise is only part of the solution, and how the current medical insurance model fails to protect your cardiovascular future. Don’t miss out on these life-saving insights that are rooted in both ancient wisdom and modern science.

In this episode of The Human Upgrade, Dave Asprey sits down with Clint Ober, the pioneer of grounding and earthing technology. Together, they explore the profound effects of reconnecting your body with the Earth’s natural energy through grounding, revealing how this practice can reduce inflammation, optimize mitochondrial function, and enhance overall well-being.
Clint explains how he discovered the power of grounding during his career in the cable television industry and how it led him to study its benefits on human health. From studies showing improved cortisol levels and reduced inflammation to anecdotes about athletes using grounding for recovery, this episode delves into the science and personal experiences that highlight the effectiveness of earthing.
