19. Baby Biohackers: Dave Asprey on Optimizing Pregnancy & Parenting show art 19. Baby Biohackers: Dave Asprey on Optimizing Pregnancy & Parenting

Dadicated Joe

What struck me most about this episode was the fact that choices parents make in pregnancy and early childhood can deeply affect their child for LIFE! So while I knew this period of my child’s life was important, I was surprised at how much I can (and therefore must) influence their lifelong trajectory with a few smart choices at the very start.  In this conversation, I sit down with Dave Asprey, the father of biohacking and creator of Bulletproof Coffee, to talk about optimizing pregnancy, early childhood, and the dad’s role in creating an environment where kids can thrive. Dave does...

18. End Your Wife’s Resentment in 3 Steps show art 18. End Your Wife’s Resentment in 3 Steps

Dadicated Joe

Resentful women. Resentful wives. Resentful moms. This has become normal. Men hate it, feeling like they can never do enough and are always being criticized. Women hate it, feeling like they are constantly abandoned and left to do everything on their own. It seems impossible, but there is a solution!  I’ve dealt with my wife’s resentment for years, and am happy to say I have reduced it by at least 90%! In this episode, I dig into how resentment shows up in parenting partnerships and why it’s not just a personal issue, it’s a systemic issue. Women often carry more household labor,...

Dadicated Joe

Most of us think we’re failing as dads when we lose our temper or feel disconnected. But what if the real work starts way before that, inside the relationship, inside the tension, inside ourselves? In this episode, I sit down with relationship coach Scott Wild to unpack what it takes to co-parent without drifting apart. Scott and his wife Mel, have two kids under two. They’re in the thick of it. And yet they’ve built practices that help them stay emotionally connected, even when they’re exhausted, touched out, and stretched thin. We talk about the difference between reacting and...

Dadicated Joe

Our birth didn’t go as planned. We wanted a peaceful home birth. We ended up in the hospital In the middle of the night getting a C-section. And you know what? It was still a great birth—because we were prepared. I was prepared.  I spent months learning everything I could about childbirth. I talked to midwives, studied birth plans, and mapped out every possible scenario. Not because I wanted control—but because I wanted to be a full part of the process and protect my wife’s wishes. This is the episode I wish I had when I first found out I was going to be a dad. I walk you through...

Dadicated Joe

Jason Bronstad thought he was doing everything right—executive title, steady paycheck, hustle mode always on. But when his four-year-old son told him his “dad voice” was what hurt him the most, it shattered the illusion. What followed was a total redefinition of fatherhood—from suppressing emotions and prioritizing work, to sitting on the stairs and asking his kids what they really feel. In this brutally honest conversation, Jason opens up about missing nearly an entire month of his wife’s pregnancy, taking zero paternity leave, and using food and alcohol to numb the emotional weight...

Sleep is one of the MOST challenging aspects of having a new born.

From blackout curtains and nose breathing to alternating night shifts with my wife, we go deep on the stuff no one teaches you....

Dadicated Joe

For me, fatherhood began the day my wife knew she was pregnant. But what could I do? What was my role?  I decided I was going to do everything I could to join in the pregnancy, embracing the idea that she wasn’t the only one pregnant, WE were pregnant. Of course men cannot actually be pregnant and we will never understand what women go through. But I set forth to handle the planning, prepping, feeding, listening, and learning—in every way and every moment possible. In this solo episode, I break down what I think it means to be a “pregnant father” and why emotional support,...

11. Can a Man Ever Do Equal Housework to Mom? show art 11. Can a Man Ever Do Equal Housework to Mom?

Dadicated Joe

I value equality and have always tried to do my part of the housework, especially after we had our baby. But I wasn’t trained to see how much work there is, and how much unseen work my wife did every day. I especially didn’t understand how much thinking she was doing to hold it all together. That invisible labor and mental load began wearing her down and building resentment between us. The Fair Play system of household management changed everything. In this episode, I share how we implemented Fair Play at home—not just to divide chores, but to shift how we communicate, show up, and build...

More Episodes

Joseph Anew is the kind of dad who cold plunges with his kids, does breathwork in a hyperbaric chamber, and ran a Spartan race 36 hours before this interview. But what really stuck with me was how much of his fatherhood was shaped by trauma, surrender, and choosing to do things differently—from barefoot healing in the Caribbean to escaping a hospital during COVID after a traumatic birth.

In this episode, we talk about what it means to parent with intention. Joseph shares the wild journey he and his wife went on—from raw vegan pregnancy to organ supplements and detox protocols—and how they used biohacking not as a shortcut, but as a way to align with what our DNA actually needs. We go deep on postpartum recovery, RIE parenting, repairing our own father wounds, and why running is the single best thing he does for his health.

In this episode, we discuss:

  • What are the best biohacks for new dads with limited time?

  • How can fathers support postpartum healing for their partner?

  • What is RIE (Resources for Infant Educators) parenting and how does it shape your child’s inner voice?

  • How do near-death experiences and trauma influence fatherhood?

  • What practices help fathers process identity shifts after becoming a parent?

Being dadicated isn’t about having all the answers.

It’s about showing up.

It’s about committing to the kind of dad—and man—you want to be, even when it’s hard. Especially when it’s hard.

Joe Carr is a dad to Della, husband to Serenity, co-founder of Serenity Kids baby food, and the voice behind Dadicated Joe.
