[03:10] We Need More People Who Are Curious and Less Polarization 

• There's an enormous number of really, really angry calorie counters. They are angry because they’re hungry. 
• Unfortunately, many calorie counters have an interest in punching someone who disagrees with them. These people will punch with their keyboards. 
• While some vegans are so vehement because of some type of trauma they experienced. 
• Then, keto people believe they can’t have any carbs. 
• People are doing anything they can think of to drive a wedge. 
• We need a group of people who are willing to be curious and experiment.  

[10:10] Dave Loves Banning Trolls on Social Media Who Are Angry About Fasting 

• Dave has taught 70,000 people how to do intermittent fasting for free. 
• Check out the Fast This Way Challenge: https://daveasprey.com/fast-this-way-challenge/.
• People can go twenty-four hours without being hungry. 
• Dave bans people from his social media channels who are shrill, angry, and tiny-minded.
• When you ban angry people, you will be left with a peaceful space for inquiry and curiosity. 

[13:10] Stop Consuming Omega-6 Oils! Two Years Later, Your Body Will Recover 

• There are things you do that make you weak, and things you do make you strong.
• The first thing you need to do is stop eating omega-6 oils: canola, soy, and corn. 
• Your cell membrane is actually a whole bunch of tiny droplets of fat. It changes composition based on what you eat.
• Once you cut the oils out and two years have gone by, half of your cell membranes will have turned over and been made out of more stable, healthier fats.
• If you put butter and MCT in your coffee, you won’t need as much of it after two years. 

[18:25] Dave Gives Recommendations For Eating Out At Restaurants While Traveling 

• When eating at a restaurant, you must assume your food is being cooked in vegetable oil. 
• Dave is known for carrying grass-fed butter in his bag and whipping it out at restaurants. 
• When you travel, bring protein powder and amino acid powder. 
• When you’re out at a restaurant, you won’t have to worry about what to eat. 
• You can go 24 hours without eating, and you have protein powder if you need it. 
• Dave eats a lot of sushi; it’s clean food. 

[26:15] Dave Gives His Thoughts on Fish Oil and Why You Should Never Overdo It

• You don’t want too much fish oil.
• There's plenty of evidence that small doses of fish oil are good for you. 
• Dave takes a gram a day. He weighs about 230 and is around 12% body fat.
• If you’re pregnant, you need to dose DHA heavily. Your body will store DHA in your butt and your thighs. It will preferentially donate that DHA to your baby.
• Remember, large doses of DHA are inflammatory, and your body can’t handle it.  

[34:00] It’s Time To Cut Out Artificial Flavors and Remember That All Plants Are Not Your Friends

• We underestimate what glyphosate contamination and things like food colorings, dyes, and artificial flavors do to our brain and hunger hormones.
• You need to cut out artificial flavors and dyes. 
• Plants are not all your friends. 
• If you go outside and just take a bite of the first plant you see, you'll probably die or at least get hospitalized; plants are inherently toxic to us.
• Oxalic acid from kale and raw spinach is a major cause of kidney stones and gout. 
• Remember, different people have different sensitivities. 

[38:35] Junk Light Is Impacting Your Health - Get TrueDark For Better Sleep

• The circadian clock that tells all your organs to work together simultaneously is set primarily by light. 
• That’s why Dave created TrueDark: Get True Dark glasses here: https://amzn.to/3NobA4g
• TrueDark wearers experience better concentration and deeper sleep when wearing their patented lenses. 
• His glasses will help with sleep quality, increased sleep length, increased focused performance, and decreased eye fatigue.

[47:50] About Danger Coffee and The Importance of Remineralizing Your Body

• Everyone needs more trace minerals. 
• Regular coffee depletes your body of minerals and electrolytes, making you feel tired. 
• While on the other hand, Danger Coffee remineralizes your body with more than 50 trace minerals, nutrients, and electrolytes.
• Get Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/
