Dave Asprey Says Ribeye and Butter Beat Any Diet on GOOD NIGHT WITH BEN GLEIB
The biohacker argues cholesterol was never a reliable predictor of heart attacks.
Asked for his best diet hack on GOOD NIGHT WITH BEN GLEIB, Dave Asprey did not hesitate: ribeye and butter. The biohacking author used the moment to go further than a simple food recommendation, taking direct aim at the American Heart Association and arguing that cholesterol was never a good predictor of heart attacks.
Asprey has become a recurring guest on the program, where he has been described in past appearances as the father of biohacking and a four-time New York Times bestselling author focused on optimizing health and longevity through diet, technology and lifestyle changes. Those earlier segments have included his case for reaching age 180 and a warning that chronically angry people, including online trolls, tend to die six to eight years earlier than average.
The ribeye discussion fits a pattern in Asprey's appearances on the show, where he tends to push back on mainstream nutritional guidance in favor of his own research-driven conclusions. Host Ben Gleib kept the segment light even while Asprey made his case against cholesterol as a heart-attack predictor, with Gleib's mid-segment joke getting picked up elsewhere after the episode aired.
Asprey's history on GOOD NIGHT WITH BEN GLEIB also includes a detailed breakdown of sleep science, where he told Gleib that 6.5 hours of sleep can outperform a full eight hours, pointing to LED light exposure as a disruptor of the body's internal clock.
