TRAILER: The Pursuit of Wellness

Ep. #100 Welcome to the 100th episode of Pursuit of Wellness! First off, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude for your unwavering support throughout this incredible journey. We are beyond excited for 100 more. To mark this milestone, we're thrilled to host the legendary Dave Asprey, the Father of Biohacking. Dave is an entrepreneur, author, and advocate of the high-protein, low-carb diet who started off as a computer scientist and applied his skillset to health. Our conversation was so full of knowledge that we actually had to split it in two. In this first installment, Dave shares his pioneering journey, thoughts on mold toxicity and coffee, and nuances of veganism, keto, and protein-based diets. Make sure you tune in Thursday for part two of this information-packed conversation with Dave. Leave Me a Message - click here! For Mari’s Instagram click here!
