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.  Sponsors:  Viome | Go to https://viome.com/dave to save $110 on the Full Body Intelligence Test. fatty15 | Go to https://fatty15.com/dave and save an extra $15 when you subscribe with code DAVE. Resources: Calroy Health Sciences: https://calroy.com/ Dr. Michael Twyman’s Website: https://www.apollocardiology.com/ Follow Dr. Michael Twyman on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drtwyman Dave’s Linktree: linktr.ee/daveasprey Dave Asprey’s Book ‘Smarter Not Harder’: daveasprey.com/books Want to join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live?

In this episode of The Human Upgrade, Dave Asprey is joined by Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, a veterinary epidemiologist and co-founder of Seraphina Therapeutics, to explore the groundbreaking discovery of C15, also known as Pentadecanoic acid. This episode uncovers how Dr. Venn-Watson's work with aging dolphins in the U.S. Navy led to the surprising revelation that C15 is an essential fatty acid, marking the first discovery of its kind in nearly a century. Through extensive research, C15 has shown powerful benefits for longevity, reducing inflammation, and promoting cellular health, which can help prevent chronic conditions like metabolic syndrome and heart disease. Dr. Venn-Watson explains the science behind C15, its natural sources—such as grass-fed dairy and certain types of fish—and why it’s often missing from modern low-fat diets. She also dives into the clinical studies that reveal how C15 can stabilize cell membranes, reduce oxidative stress, and improve metabolic function. The episode emphasizes the importance of this ‘new’ fat for anyone seeking to optimize their health, whether through diet or supplementation. Sponsors: Fatty15 | Go to https://fatty15.com/dave and save an extra $15 when you subscribe with code DAVE. Resources: Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson’s Company: Seraphina Therapeutics Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson’s Instagram: @fatty15 Learn More About C15: discoverC15.com Dave's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/daveasprey     Dave Asprey’s Book ‘Smarter Not Harder’ is out now: https://daveasprey.com/books     Want to join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live?
