Have we finally discovered the key to youthful energy, longevity, and cellular health?
In this episode, Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Anurag Singh, Chief Medical Officer at Timeline Nutrition and a leading expert on mitochondrial health, cellular regeneration, and anti-aging science. With over 20 years of research, 50 clinical trials, and 15 patents under his belt, Dr. Singh unpacks the groundbreaking science behind Urolithin A, a revolutionary postbiotic that boosts mitochondrial function, enhances immune system resilience, and combats chronic inflammation.
This episode goes beyond cutting-edge science. Dr. Singh reveals practical, real-world strategies to combat “inflammaging”—the chronic, low-grade inflammation that accelerates aging. Learn how fasting, gut health, and mitochondrial boosters like Urolithin A can rejuvenate your cells, fight fatigue, and supercharge your energy, vitality, and longevity.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:
• What Urolithin A is and its role in mitochondrial health and cellular energy production
• How to reverse “inflammaging” and reduce inflammation through nutrition, fasting, and biohacking
• The connection between mitochondrial dysfunction and immune system aging
• Real-life benefits of Urolithin A for energy levels, athletic recovery, skin health, and longevity
• Why mitochondrial support is critical for combating aging and improving overall performance

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.

Learn how a small change in your pillow or bed setup can lead to dramatic improvements in your sleep quality and overall health.
Finally, Dan Gartenberg dives into the world of sleep biohacking. He reveals groundbreaking research on how sound waves can enhance your deep sleep and how controlling light exposure can unlock better rest.
