The Secret Energy Hack You’re NOT Using (Life-Changing!)

In this episode of The Human Upgrade, Dave Asprey takes a deep dive into a crucial yet often overlooked health metric: VO2 max. Forget the myth that improving it requires endless hours of cardio—Dave reveals how this key marker of longevity can be optimized efficiently, without overworking your joints or transforming into an endurance athlete.

Joined by cellular health expert Rowena Gates, they unpack the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in aging and energy levels, sharing actionable strategies to combat the oxidative stress that can damage your cells. They discuss the dangers of mitochondrial ROS and how the right antioxidants can offer protection, while cutting-edge technology can elevate your VO2 max without the risks of overtraining.

If you’re looking to boost endurance, protect your cells, and supercharge your energy, this episode is packed with essential insights into how mitochondria, ROS, and antioxidants are the keys to upgrading your health

We all learned whether we wanted to or not about the cytokines storm during the pandemic!
We also learned that it was oxygen caring capacity that was affected by the infection not the actual oxygen available !
