    What if understanding how AI thinks could reveal uncomfortable truths about how your own brain works, and give you powerful tools to make smarter decisions, resist manipulation, and upgrade your cognition at the root level? -Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Tom Griffiths, the Henry R. Luce Professor of Information Technology, Consciousness, and Culture in the Departments of Psychology and Computer Science at Princeton University. Griffiths directs Princeton's Computational Cognitive Science Lab, a research group focused on understanding the mathematical foundations of human cognition, and the Princeton Laboratory for Artificial Intelligence. He is the coauthor of Algorithms to Live By and the author of the new book The Laws of Thought, and his award-winning research has appeared in Science, Nature, and the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Together, Dave and Tom go deep on the cognitive science behind human performance, brain optimization, and the surprising overlap between biohacking and artificial intelligence. They explore why your body filters reality before your conscious brain ever sees it, how your mitochondria function as a distributed cognitive network, and what that means for longevity, decision-making, and neuroplasticity. You'll Learn: Why AI models reveal that humans may be more "stochastic parrots" than we'd like to admit How your mitochondria pre-process sensory reality before your auditory cortex even fires Why emotions like anger, love, and remorse are computational tools evolution built into your reward function How low energy and blood sugar directly degrade your decision-making at a hardware level What "resource rationality" means and how to use it to make better decisions under constraint Why AI systems have measurable psychological personalities, and which ones are least likely to mess with your head How neuroplasticity can eliminate the inner critic and reshape your mental operating system Why two-process cognition (fast and slow thinking) is a feature, not a bug, of human intelligence Thank you to our sponsors! -BEYOND Biohacking Conference 2026 | Register with code DAVE300 for $300 off https://beyondconference.com-Essentia | Go to https://myessentia.com/dave and use code DAVE for $100 off The Dave Asprey Upgrade.-Quantum Upgrade | Try it free for 15 days — no credit card required — at QuantumUpgrade.io/DAVE.

    Block toxic light with these glasses: https://truedark.com/discount/DAVETUBE


    Think 8 hours of sleep is enough? Think again. I used to think I had a sleep issue—turns out, it was a light issue. In this video, I break down why light exposure, not just sleep duration, controls your circadian rhythm, energy, and recovery. From morning sunlight to blocking blue light at night, I’ll show you how to biohack your environment for deeper sleep, better performance, and real recovery. Your biology is programmable—let’s upgrade it.

    WW3 Doomscrolling, 5 Minute Sleep Hack, Diet Wars, Dopamine Supplements : 1427
    Mar 6 2026
    This week’s stories: Healthy Diets That Offset "Bad Genes" A major UK Biobank study of over 100,000 people found that following any one of five healthy dietary patterns was associated with up to 3 extra years of life — and the benefit held regardless of genetic predisposition to longevity. Your DNA is not an excuse. The macro pattern matters more than the perfect protocol. • Sources: -https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.ads7559 -https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12904179 -https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/eat-well-live-longer-study-5-healthy-diet-plans-longevity Micro-Habits in Sleep, Activity, and Diet That Extend Life Researchers built a composite "SPAN" score combining sleep, movement, sedentary time, and diet quality and found that small improvements across all four — we're talking minutes per day — cut mortality risk by up to 64% when stacked together. The gains only showed up when behaviors improved in combination, not in isolation. • Sources: -https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11863424 -https://theconversation.com/small-improvements-in-sleep-physical-activity-and-diet-are-linked-with-a-longer-life-273502 -https://www.lboro.ac.uk/news-events/news/2026/january/small-improvements-in-health-linked-to-longer-life Methionine and Cysteine Restriction: The Diet That Mimics Cold Exposure New research shows that reducing sulfur amino acids — methionine and cysteine, found heavily in certain animal proteins — triggers fat browning and thermogenesis in mice, mimicking the metabolic effects of cold exposure without the cold. Supporting human data from Nature Metabolism suggests this lever works in people too • Sources: -https://elifesciences.org/reviewed-preprints/108825v2 -https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-025-01297-8 -https://topics.consensus.app/news/research-finds-low-methionine-and-cysteine-diet-increases-caloric-burn-in-mice-evidence-review Tyrosine and Lifespan: What the Data Says for Men A Mendelian randomization analysis of over 270,000 UK Biobank participants found that genetically higher tyrosine levels were associated with nearly one year shorter lifespan in men — with no significant effect in women. This reflects lifelong endogenous levels, not short-term supplementation, but it's a signal worth understanding if you're using tyrosine strategically • Sources: -https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260301/Higher-tyrosine-levels-linked-to-shorter-lifespan-in-major-UK-Biobank-analysis.aspx -https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1105915 -https://www.aging-us.com/news-room/high-tyrosine-levels-linked-to-shorter-lifespan-in-men War Doomscrolling and WW3 Anxiety as a Stealth Aging Accelerator Compulsive consumption of conflict and war news is linked to PTSD-like symptoms, existential anxiety, and chronic stress — even in civilians far from any battlefield. Layered on top of cardiology data connecting chronic stress to heart disease and stroke, your news diet is now a legitimate healthspan variable. Subtractive biohacking is still biohacking. • Sources: -https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/07/240718124709.htm -https://www.theguardian.com/technology/article/2024/jul/19/doomscrolling-linked-to-existential-anxiety-distrust-suspicion-and-despair-study-finds -https://www.health.harvard.edu/mind-and-mood/doomscrolling-dangers -https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9517387 All source links are provided for direct access to the original reporting and research. This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity seekers, and high-performance listeners who want mechanism-level clarity on circadian biology, neurodegeneration signals, cognitive training, caffeine strategy, and supplement regulation. Host Dave Asprey connects emerging science, behavioral data, and policy shifts into practical frameworks you can use to build a resilient, adaptable health stack.
