Biohacking News Weekly Update : 1383

This episode covers: • FDA Loosening Supplement Warning Labels The FDA is considering a rule change that would allow supplement companies to include the DSHEA disclaimer only once per package rather than next to every claim. Dave explains why fewer visible warnings could make marketing look more like medical claims, and why biohackers should treat labels as advertising rather than evidence. He shares how to protect yourself now: add one variable at a time, run baseline labs, and rely on data instead of packaging.

The device reads subtle electromagnetic signatures from the heart and compares them to invasive angiography. Dave breaks down why earlier detection of ischemia could shift heart care from reactive treatment to proactive screening — and why building baseline metrics like VO₂max, blood pressure and HRV today will pay off when next-gen diagnostics arrive.

Sauna use amplifies this effect by increasing circulation, mobilizing stored toxins from tissues, and accelerating sweat-based excretion. When you combine regular heat exposure with reduced environmental plastic contact, you create a powerful detox strategy that targets a chemical burden once thought unavoidable. Dave breaks down how sauna protocols can support toxin elimination, improve cardiovascular resilience, strengthen autonomic balance, and help counteract the metabolic and hormonal disruptions linked to microplastics in modern life.

The experiment revealed a surprising metabolic change: mean glucose dropped 8 percent, variability fell 11 percent, and estimated HbA1c moved from 4.7 to 4.4 — similar to months of metformin but after a single session. Dave explores the emerging idea that neuroplastic events might influence glucose regulation through brain-pancreas signaling, while emphasizing the need for supervised, legal use and proper clinical trials.

COX7RP supports formation of mitochondrial “supercomplexes,” improving respiratory efficiency and ATP generation. Dave explains how this reinforces lifestyle levers — strength training, aerobic capacity, stabilizing blood sugar — as tools that likely preserve supercomplex architecture and mitochondrial resilience.

This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity seekers and high-performance listeners who want practical strategies rooted in cutting-edge science. Dave Asprey translates emerging research into actionable upgrades for your biology — from metabolism and mitochondria to nervous system health, detox, and prevention. New episodes every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.
