What if you could turn back the clock on aging, heal emotional wounds, and unlock boundless energy—all through science? That’s what Dave Asprey, the Father of Biohacking, has dedicated his life to exploring. In this conversation, he shares how simple shifts in your body and mind can change everything—including a story about a woman who finally found peace after years of searching. It’s eye-opening stuff that’ll make you think differently about what’s possible for your health and happiness. Dave gets real about aging—what’s actually happening in your body and how you can take charge, no matter your age. He breaks down the seven pillars of aging and shares his own journey of losing 100 pounds and sharpening his brain to outperform his younger self. His advice? It’s practical, doable, and way more empowering than the usual “just get more sleep” tips.  And we’re not just talking about the physical stuff here—this goes deep. Dave walks us through how hormones affect everything from motivation to mood and even leads a forgiveness meditation to help you let go of what’s been holding you back. It’s the kind of conversation that leaves you thinking, “Wow, I needed this.” If you’re ready to feel lighter, stronger, and just better all around, don’t miss this one.

Just like throwing something away is not the same thing as giving. So, if you haven't yet found your love of life, I suggest you keep on digging and allow yourself to feel your way through all the hurt and all the rage." – Adam Roa "I think vulnerability is the gateway to connection. And when we allow ourselves to be vulnerable, we are actually opening up the possibility for incredibly deep connection. And it's also opening up the possibility of being rejected. And so, there's an inherent fear or risk that comes with that vulnerability. But that's also what makes it inspiring.

Sometimes, love and relationships aren’t as straightforward as we’d like them to be.

Memorable Quotes "You can tell a trauma is at work or there's something you need to heal if you have the exact opposite result of your intention. Meaning that my intention is to make sure I don't get abandoned, but my behavior is getting me abandoned."– Neil Strauss "Sadness, pain, anger, hurt, love, all those things are feelings, but a thought would be betrayed. Like, what is the feeling of being betrayed? When you're betrayed, when you imagine, when you make up that you're betrayed, you feel sad. So, you want to be careful not to make accusations as feelings, like betrayed and disrespected. A lot of times someone might feel disrespected, but the person didn't tend to disrespect." – Neil Strauss Where to Find Our Guest Website: https://www.neilstrauss.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neil_strauss/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/neilstrauss Twitter (X): https://x.com/neilstrauss To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below:  Website: https://www.mindvalley.com/about YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/vishenlakhiani Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindvalley/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vishen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindvalley Become the best version of yourself with the world’s most effective transformation platform.

It's because it gives you clarity. So the clarity will multiply the output that you are doing that you think you're accomplishing without doing it. I really, truly, I mean, I know that for a fact that these practices, these things — they multiply your amount that you do so. If you're already living your best life, I think applying some of these concepts will even heighten it more and free up more time." – Big Sean "A cluttered environment is a cluttered mind. And so, chaos around you will create chaos in your heart, in your mind, in your life, literally. You will start attracting because we are attracting what we are, but we're also attracting what we live in." – Marie Diamond  Where to Find Our Guest, Big Sean: Website: https://www.uknowbigsean.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bigsean/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/uknowbigsean Twitter: https://x.com/BigSean YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bigsean TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bigsean Where to Find Our Guest, Marie Diamond: Website: https://www.mariediamond.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mariediamondofficial/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mariediamondfans To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below:  Website: https://www.mindvalley.com/about YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/vishenlakhiani Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindvalley/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vishen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindvalley Become the best version of yourself with the world’s most effective transformation platform.

This episode peels back the curtain on how certain nutrients can dramatically impact your mood, energy, and even your confidence.

It's increasing serotonin and dopamine, so you feel better, you feel more confident, you're more productive. And it's increasing glutathione and catalase, which are the key antioxidants, so it's reducing oxidative stress." – Shawn Wells  "You need a lot of magnesium every day to be fully energized because there's explosions. As we're talking, sitting here, there are just trillions of explosions happening in all of our mitochondria.

When we hold attention over others — look at the politicians, look at actors. There is so much extraordinary power there. When we're able to hold attention on ourselves, we have inner power." – Austin Mao "Every major spiritual tradition leads you into presence, and presence can lead you — based on the spiritual traditions — to higher states of consciousness, to connection with spirituality and divinity. I think that thousands of years of spiritual texts cannot be wrong. This is the core of what it means to be human. This is the core of connection.

It's the energy work, it's recalibrating, the mind is updating the layers of information, and then it's 20% what you do on the outside. So, you still have to show up in your life." – Regan Hillyer "I'm going to listen to that soul desire and I'm going to manifest.

Sexuality is something many of us struggle to understand—often clouded by shame, confusion, or fear, making it hard to explore freely. But what if there was a way to heal and fully embrace this part of ourselves? In today’s chat with Tantra Specialist Layla Martin, we explore how Tantra can be that path, helping you feel more connected and whole, both in your relationship with yourself and others. If you've ever wondered how to move past the shame or blocks around intimacy, this conversation is for you. Layla breaks down what Tantra really is, and how it’s not just about sex—it’s about energy, self-exploration, and connecting to something deeper. We also get into how self-pleasure can be a form of spiritual practice, a way to reconnect with your higher self and let go of shame. Plus, Layla shares some real, practical advice on finding a Tantra partner who truly aligns with your values. Whether you're just curious about Tantra or you’ve been exploring it for a while, this episode is packed with takeaways that feel both approachable and transformative. It’s like sitting down for a heart-to-heart about how to embrace your authentic self and deepen your relationships in a meaningful way. Key Takeaways: [00:01:29] Shame around discussing sexuality. [00:04:09] Goddess consciousness in spirituality. [00:09:39] Long-term partnership through Tantra. [00:11:39] Healing through sacred sexuality. [00:15:36] Worshiping men and women. [00:20:36] Sacred energy transfer in sex. [00:23:24] Gender expression and societal confusion. [00:29:20] Celebrating male sexuality as a gift. [00:30:24] Collecting no's as empowerment. [00:35:44] The terror of true love. [00:39:10] Tantra reduces cheating likelihood. [00:42:26] Authentic self and Tantra. [00:45:17] Heart orgasms and pleasure. [00:52:32] Suppression and ecstatic orgasms. [00:53:40] Tantric approach to sexuality. Memorable Quotes: "Most people misunderstand that Tantra was about sex only, but it became known for that because it was one of the only spiritual traditions that said sex can be holy and I believe so many of us who were raised in these very sex-negative traditions, it's been so healing for us to hear that that's an option that sex isn't inherently anti-spiritual." – Layla Martin "Sex can be one of the most violent places on this planet. And when we're not sexually whole, it feels like a piece of our soul is missing. So, it became very clear to me that when I was super traumatized, I wasn't fully alive. I wasn't having the deep experiences I wanted. And my relationships with men were a total mess. And so I had a deep desire to fix that and to heal that." – Layla Martin "What I see is that when women really own that true love is terrifying, and being truly chosen is kind of scary, they actually stop choosing men who are playing hard to get, who aren't really that into them. And they stop hiding from the terror of being fully chosen because when you're fully chosen, you have to meet all those intimacy terrors and start developing a true, real, deep partnership." – Layla Martin Links Mentioned In This Episode: A-Fest Event: https://www.afest.com/ Where to Find Our Guest: Website: https://laylamartin.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thelaylamartin Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/laylamartinisawesome/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/laylamartintv To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below:  Website: https://www.mindvalley.com/about YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/vishenlakhiani Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindvalley/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vishen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindvalley Become the best version of yourself with the world’s most effective transformation platform.

Memorable Quotes "When you're the most interesting person in the room, you're in the wrong room, is the sign for you to either go out and find, or do what I did and create the community that stretches you and grows you." – Rich Litvin "The opposite of success isn't failure, it's mediocrity. Successful people aren't afraid of failure. In fact, it's one of the only ways to become successful, to keep taking risks and failing along the journey. But at some point, what I see in really successful people is there's a sense of there's something missing. And so what I tap into at that point is, what's the legacy you want to leave? What's the contribution you want to make?" – Rich Litvin "You can never have enough of what you don't really need. We're chasing fame, success, recognition, money, yachts, cars, homes, and yet we get them and there's something missing. So, we chase the next one." – Rich Litvin Where to Find Our Guest Website: https://richlitvin.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/richlitvin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/211350630184649 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/richlitvin/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@rich_litvin To stay connected and to learn more about Vishen and Mindvalley, click on the links below:  Website: https://www.mindvalley.com/about YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/vishenlakhiani Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mindvalley/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vishen/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mindvalley Become the best version of yourself with the world’s most effective transformation platform.
