How to Unlock Psychic Abilities to Know When You’ll Die

Summary

Dave Asprey interviews Julie Ryan, who describes herself as a psychic and medical intuitive. She says she can intuitively scan people, communicate with spirits, identify emotional “energy blocks,” and offer energy healing. Asprey shares some of his own intuitive experiences and discusses how intuition might fit into scientific observation.

Much of the conversation centers on paranormal and spiritual claims—including communicating with the dead, fairies, past lives, and perceiving angels around people who are dying. These are presented as the speakers’ experiences and beliefs, not as established scientific findings.

Wellness and self-care ideas discussed

• Notice intuitive impressions: Ryan says people may receive information as images, sounds, feelings, or an immediate “knowing.” The speakers encourage paying attention to these impressions; Asprey compares intuition to making an observation that could lead to a hypothesis.
• Practice discernment: The conversation suggests learning to distinguish intuition from ordinary thoughts and emotions. Asprey mentions advanced meditation training as one way he believes people can become more aware of that distinction.
• Use dreams for reflection or comfort: Ryan suggests setting an intention before sleep, such as asking to dream about a deceased loved one. Asprey discusses vivid dreams in relation to brain inflammation and mentions medications—claims that should not be treated as personal medical guidance.
• Make space for grief: Ryan says she encourages grieving people to seek comfort through dreams and describes her book as a resource about death and transition. Asprey shares that reading it helped shape his perspective on his mother’s death.
• Consider emotional experiences as part of well-being: Ryan’s “energy-field” model links emotional events with later health problems and proposes that bringing an event to awareness can help healing. This is her framework, not a medically established explanation for illness.
• Use multiple forms of care: The speakers discuss combining conventional medical treatment with other approaches, and Ryan says healing may involve medical procedures, medication, physical therapy, or other support. They also emphasize that a person’s body heals itself after treatment. The conversation does not establish that energy healing treats disease; it should not replace diagnosis or evidence-based care.
• Treat medical claims cautiously: Asprey makes claims about mold, Lyme disease, Alzheimer’s, statins, and antifungal or antibiotic drugs, including suggestions about specific medications. These are not verified by the interview and should not be used as treatment advice; medication decisions belong with a qualified clinician.
• Productivity and learning: Asprey argues that curiosity and intuition can help generate useful questions, while testing those questions with evidence is important. He also stresses developing skills through deliberate practice rather than assuming they are innate.

The episode includes advertisements for Zenbud, described as a vagus-nerve stimulation device, and Celentra HP, marketed for menopause-related support. The promotional health claims are not independently established by the conversation.
