The Human Upgrade with Dave Asprey

Unlock the power of continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) and transform your health in this eye-opening episode with Dave Asprey. Discover why tracking your blood sugar 24/7 isn’t just for diabetics—it’s the key to unlocking peak health, optimizing your metabolism, and preventing chronic diseases.

Joined by Levels founder and biohacker Josh Clemente, Dave dives into the real science behind CGMs and how they provide unparalleled insights into how your diet, sleep, and exercise affect your blood glucose. You’ll learn how glucose spikes are linked to aging, inflammation, and energy crashes, and why keeping your blood sugar stable can help you boost mental clarity, enhance longevity, and even prevent conditions like diabetes and heart disease.

Josh reveals the engineering mindset behind building Levels and how this game-changing technology is revolutionizing the way we understand metabolic health. With insider data from 50,000+ users, you’ll discover how simple lifestyle tweaks—like post-meal walks, sleep optimization, and personalized nutrition—can dramatically improve your health outcomes.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone serious about biohacking, metabolic control, and optimizing every aspect of their health through real-time data. Learn how to take control of your body and get ahead of the game in the future of health monitoring.
