Dave Asprey: Bulletproof Hacks for a Healthier Home and Life – Ep. 183
“In the end, after all of the research and self experiments, it all comes down to the fact that the system which powers your body is also the system that controls your sleep, emotions, cognitive function, hormone levels, whether or not you’ll get a disease and frankly it controls your willpower. That system isn’t you; it’s a distributed network of a quadrillion ancient bacteria that are embedded inside your cells.” – Dave Asprey
This week on the Open Sky Fitness Podcast, the CEO and Founder of Bulletproof , Dave Asprey, joined us to talk about his early days as an investor and entrepreneur, how to hack your home and life for better health, his take on coconut oil, and so much more great insights on how to bulletproof your wellness.
Not only is Dave leading the way for Bulletproof Coffee, but he is also a Biohacker, Host of the Bulletproof Radio Podcast, Best-Selling Author of The Bulletproof Diet and Head Strong, Organizer of the Bulletproof Conference, and also the Founder of many other service organizations, businesses, and productions including:
- 40 Years of Zen
- Biohacked TrueDark™ Daywalker & Twilight Glasses
- MOLDY: The Toxic Mold Movie
- Homebiotic
Biohack Your Life
“Things that make bacteria weak will also make us weak and it’s scary how easy it is to kill bacteria. You can use trace amounts of chemicals like bleach or the ancient enemies, mold and fungus, to destroy bacteria.” – Dave Asprey
Dave has just such a wealth of information and I can’t wait to share it with you all. We had a great discussion about how sneaky factors like junky blue or LED lights and toxic mold in your home can be a factor of why you feel ill, don’t have a ton of energy, and are experiencing brain fog.
As you listen to this week’s episode, Dave shares:
- Why half of us under 40 aren’t making enough energy to sustain us throughout the day.
- How mold and fungus can weaken our minds and bodies.
- Why healthy bacteria and mitochondria are vital for our wellness.
- How technology can lead to brain fog and make us restless.
- What we can do to prevent disease and early aging.
- Why being healthy doesn’t have to be expensive and easy hacks we can use every day.

Bulletproof Diet Roadmap
Let Go of Old Tech Habits
“You can absolutely control how your cells make energy, how much energy they make, and what you do with it.” – Dave Asprey
A main cause of why we experience such horrible brain fog and fatigue these days is because of how we use technology. Picking up on bad tech habits and living with them every day is hurting the health of our natural mitochondria.
Fortunately, we can easily hack our devices to instantly feel more focused and energized by taking the following actions:
- Avoid junk light i.e. bright LED and blue light.
- Be weary of WiFi routers the wireless connections around you.
- Keep your phone on airplane mode when you don’t need them such as while you’re asleep.
- Get into rest and recovery mode before bed by staying away from screens.
“You’re not going to be able to get rid of everything from junk lighting to mold and that’s okay. Just do your best to set your environment up to support your energy systems so that you’re not exhausted at the end of the day.” – Dave Asprey
How Dave Gets Energized
When you’re feeling run down, it’s time to start paying attention to several factors. Dave highly advises that we start to look at our diet and then follow these steps:
- Pay attention to what you’re eating and improve your habits with either The Bulletproof Diet or Head Strong books.
- Follow the Bulletproof Diet Roadmap here for free.
- Stop eating the foods that make you weak i.e. sugars, beans, or even some forms of dairy.
- Focus on foods that give you energy such as healthy fat and Ketogenic foods.
- Consider possibly following a cyclical Ketosis lifestyle if it’s right for your body.
- Drink Bulletproof Coffee which is clean coffee with no mold and toxins.
- Blend your Bulletproof Coffee with grass-fed butter, not milk.
- Take at least a teaspoon of Bulletproof Brain Octane Oil as well to raise the amount of ketones, gain more energy, and burn more fat.
If you have stomach issues with butter in your Bulletproof Coffee, you can switch to ghee with your teaspoon of Brain Octane Oil.
