  • The End of Cardio? Burn Fat & Boost VO₂ Max in Just 8 Minutes a Week – with REHIT | Ulrich Dempfle : 1275
    Apr 25 2025
    You’ve probably heard of HIIT—but have you heard of “REHIT?” This isn’t just another workout trend...it’s a new science-backed way to train with maximum efficiency and zero wasted time. If you’re still jogging, you’re wasting hours for minimal results. In this episode of The Human Upgrade, Dave Asprey sits down with Ulrich Dempfle, German-trained engineer and co-founder of CAROL Bike, to dismantle outdated cardio advice and introduce the 5-minute protocol that’s obliterating fitness myths. Forget the treadmill grind. REHIT (Reduced Exertion High-Intensity Training) exercising delivers: • 12% VO₂ max increase• 6x the fitness gains of daily jogging • 62% drop in diabetes risk • 5x more BDNF for brain power —all with just 8 minutes of effort per week. But was it? Ulrich unpacks the hard data, crushes the Zone 2 obsession, and shows how a brand-new way of exercising is giving explosive results—no matter your age or fitness level. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • Why Zone 2 cardio is outdated advice for most people • The science of REHIT and how 2 sprints beat 2-hour workouts • The shocking data on VO₂ max, insulin sensitivity, and lifespan • How CAROL uses AI to personalize exercise for any age or ability • Why most people fail at fitness—and how to fix it • The real role of lactate, BDNF, and HRV in recovery and resilience • How perimenopausal women benefit more from REHIT than HIIT or jogging • Why adherence—not intensity—is the #1 predictor of results • What to do when you’re traveling or don’t have access to the tech Resources: • Dave Asprey’s New Book - Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated/ • CAROL Bike Website and use code ‘DAVE’ for a discount – https://carolbike.com/ • CAROL Bike Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thecarolbike/?hl=en • 2025 Biohacking Conference: https://biohackingconference.com/2025 • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com • Dave Asprey’s Website: https://daveasprey.com • Dave Asprey’s Linktree: https://linktr.ee/daveasprey • Upgrade Collective – Join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live: https://www.ourupgradecollective.com • Own an Upgrade Labs: https://ownanupgradelabs.com • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com • 40 Years of Zen – Neurofeedback Training for Advanced Cognitive Enhancement: https://40yearsofzen.com Timestamps: • 00:00 Introduction to REHIT Training • 00:24 Meet Ulrich Dempfle: The Mind Behind CAROL Bike • 00:51 The Science and Benefits of REHIT • 01:44 Comparing Traditional Cardio to REHIT • 02:32 Dave Asprey’s Personal Fitness Journey • 03:43 The Efficiency of REHIT Training • 05:03 Practical Applications and Accessibility of REHIT • 08:22 Addressing Common Concerns and Misconceptions • 11:25 The Future of Fitness: REHIT and Beyond • 18:29 Scientific Validation and Real-World Results • 31:53 Clinical Trials and Tech Integration • 32:06 Upgrade Labs and CAROL Bike • 33:00 Mitochondrial Effectiveness and Insulin Sensitivity • 36:05 Zone Two Training vs. High-Intensity Training • 42:02 REHIT for Perimenopausal Women • 48:18 AI and Personalized Exercise • 57:52 Lactate and Exercise Benefits • 01:01:48 Interval Walking Training • 01:04:01 Conclusion and Future Insights See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

  • The Real Reason You Still Feel Tired—Even When Your Bloodwork Looks Perfect | Dr Pompa : 1273
    Apr 24 2025
    Your bloodwork looks normal. Your doctor says you’re fine. But you still feel exhausted, inflamed, anxious—or worse. In this episode, Dave Asprey talks with Dr. Daniel Pompa, a leading voice in cellular detox and root-cause healing, to expose the hidden stressors hijacking your energy, hormones, and metabolism—even when your labs say you’re healthy. Dr. Pompa shares his personal health collapse and reveals how cellular dysfunction, neurotoxicity, and hormone resistance drive the chronic fatigue epidemic. If you’ve ever felt dismissed by “perfect” bloodwork, this conversation will rewire how you think about sickness—and show you how to reclaim real, lasting wellness. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: • Why your bloodwork can be “perfect” while your cells are on fire • The overlooked hormone resistances sabotaging your energy and metabolism • The 3-legged stool of chronic illness—and what actually drives disease • What “upstream detox” really means, and why most cleanses make you worse • Why toxins trigger genetic expression (and how to shut that down) • How to fix unexplainable fatigue, anxiety, and weight gain from the inside out • Why true healing starts with fixing the cell, not the symptom It’s time to stop chasing symptoms—and start upgrading from the root. **Check out Dr. Pompas EXCLUSIVE protocol built for The Human Upgrade listeners at davetestkit.com and use code ‘10OFF’ for a discount!** SPONSORS -Zbiotics | Go to https://zbiotics.com/DAVE for 15% off your first order. -Our Place | Head to https://fromourplace.com/ and use the code DAVE for 10% off your order.

He’s the CIO of one of the world’s largest investment firms, and he wrote The Psychology of Leadership while living under relentless pressure. His secret? He doesn’t avoid stress—he uses it as a tool for performance, clarity, and control. But here’s the twist: this isn’t just about boardrooms or billion-dollar trades. Whether you’re running a company, chasing a deadline, or just trying to stop procrastinating on your goals—this conversation will flip what you think you know about pressure, performance, and productivity. You’ll learn why trying to “relax your way to success” doesn’t work—and how to harness discomfort to create better decisions, higher output, and more resilience in every part of life.

Analemma inspirations in my world

Hi Dave: I have survived life listening to your podcast. I started listening to you a couple years ago, & you bought me back to life. The first episode on analemma you did I immediately bought the wand I think it was October 2022. I take care of plants in office buildings & residents & I thought it would help some of my plants that seem not to take up nutrients from the soil. But it requires too much time to stir the water.
So when this episode came out about the whole house system I ordered it. also rebloom orchids & will use this system for it as well as my dogs & husband. I love the wand but am super excited for the whole house system, I know this will be another Hugh turning point in my life from you. Thank you so much for bringing this information to the world. You make this plant more amazing.
