Summary
Dave Asprey explains how modern stress and eating habits suppress mitophagy, the cellular cleanup process essential for longevity. He outlines a protocol to reactivate this switch using fasting, high-intensity exercise, and cold exposure. Additionally, he recommends boosting NAD+ levels with NMN or NR supplements and adding urolithin A and spermidine to support mitochondrial health and repair.
