Achieving unstoppable energy

Feeling lethargic and foggy throughout the day despite a good night’s sleep can damage your ability to perform at your best. It can also be incredibly frustrating – especially when you think you are doing everything right when it comes to your health.

Even if you exercise regularly, keep your stress levels low and get a good night’s sleep, you could still be exposing your body to environmental toxins that affect your body at a cellular level. These toxins deplete our energy and can even cause us to age more quickly. People respond differently to toxins depending on their chemistry and exposure level, but nearly everyone can help detox their body through their diet.

In this episode, we talk with Dave Asprey to discuss the dangers of toxins and other health topics, including how diet affects allergies and the environmental and genetic factors that are influencing the way you feel. We also discuss how you can begin to understand your body so that you can achieve lasting weight loss and take back control over your health.

The foundation of your health

Tony says that food is the fuel for your brain and your body, and Dave echoes this idea, saying, “Your body is a very high-performance machine, and when you learn to drive it right, you’ll feel when something is off.” He describes the most important “building blocks” of cells, including the all-important mitochondria, which provide the cell’s energy.
