In today's chat with Peter Wasowski, we unravel the magic behind VASPER, merging compression, cooling, and high-intensity workouts. We'll touch on its unique effects on body temperature and blood flow and even get a sneak peek at the upcoming VASPER Breath device. Whether you're a fitness novice or a seasoned biohacker, this chat with Peter offers insights you won't want to miss. For years, I’ve been talking about how if I could choose one single method of cardiovascular training to do the rest of my life, it would be the use of this strange-looking “VASPER" machine that holds a hallowed place in my home gym. https://bengreenfieldfitness.com/vasper Offer: $1000 off your purchase when you use Ben's link It’s a bit difficult to describe, but essentially VASPER combines blood flow restriction/compression, cold thermogenesis, and full-body high-intensity interval training in a single 21-minute workout that seems to give the same benefits as a comparable 2- to 3-hour workout of running, cycling, swimming, etc. It’s truly something I consider to be the ultimate biohacking “shortcut” to getting fit. Don’t get me wrong: it’s a challenging workout when you use VASPER, but when you combine all of the technologies within this impressive unit, the fitness payoff is huge. Years ago, during this podcast, I interviewed Peter Wasowski, the founder of VASPER, and today he is back to discuss the latest research and everything you need to know about how to use VASPER technology in your own training. https://bengreenfieldlife.com/podcast/fitness-podcasts/two-cool-ways-that-new-fitness-technologies-are-going-to-make-your-life-easier/ When Peter moved from California to Hawaii with his family in 1998 he was pre-diabetic and was experiencing the pain from traumatic arthritis from two fractured ankles earlier in his life. His blood sugar levels deteriorated, and the pain in his ankles increased with Hawaii's tropical climate. Peter realized that the quality of his life was decreasing rapidly and decided to do everything possible to address the root cause of his health conditions. The VASPER technology was born out of the necessity Peter felt to improve his health and the quality of his life. After testing out the first prototype, Peter's pain in his ankles decreased and later disappeared without the need for pain medication. A few weeks later, he passed his glucose tolerance test for the first time in 42 years. Peter realized that his invention can change lives. VASPER moved to Mountain View, California, and started selling equipment in 2014. Today, a growing number of VASPER Systems are changing lives around the world.
