This is a YouTube video titled "Dave Asprey's Top 3 Ways to Hack Coronavirus-caused Inflammation" containing a monologue by Dave Asprey recorded in April 2020. In this special edition of Bulletproof Radio, Dave Asprey discusses strategies to reduce inflammation caused by coronavirus, focusing on supplements like prebiotics, vitamin D3, and andrographis, along with cautions about certain ingredients.
You're listening to Bulletproof Radio with Dave Asprey. This is a special edition of Bulletproof Radio that I put together for you. And this is what I would do if I was looking at hacking Interleukin 6. This is one of the ways that the coronavirus is killing people, by causing a cytokine storm, basically a storm of inflammation. If you wanted my top three things to do here, I would probably look at resistant starch, I. E. I'm going to call it just prebiotics in general. And I've had huge results in my own use of prebiotics. And you do that because it affects you on so many different levels, including feeding all the good guys in your gut. No conversation would be complete without vitamin D3. I would also add, even though there isn't a study that I found vitamin a and vitamin K2 should be taken with it and I put those together in a supplement. But this is just standard. Every functional medicine doctor knows that this is a good thing for many different levels. And I do believe that andrographis should be on your list of things to pay attention to, especially if you're getting sick or after you've gotten sick. And I really, really like the curcumin formula that I make. But you get to pick whichever curcumin you want. I will caution you, however, curcumin that comes with black pepper extract is not good for you and you should avoid that. The reason is that black pepper extract is shown in studies to poke holes in your gut, which leads bacterial toxins called lipopolysaccharide enter you and cause inflammation. The whole point is to stop inflammation. And since this may be a really important hospital grade situation, don't mess around poking holes in your gut lining using black pepper extract. Of course, I don't use that in my formula at all. So there's your top three there. If you could throw some Boswelli in there, you're probably going to like it. And anything else from that list. Good, good, good. If you like this, check it out on daveasprey.com I'll post the whole list for you.
