...I'm not fine. I feel horrible. You know I have no energy, I don't sleep, the way my skin looks bad, you know on and on and on. So they know something's wrong.

You can think of a music program almost contouring your expected heart rate. Starting at a low point, having a peak and then gradually coming down. If you're engaged in interval training such as HIIT - high intensity interval training - it might be that you have peaks and troughs in the energy of the music so as to reflect the physiological peaks and troughs in the workout. So I think the desired mental state and the underlying physiological state are drivers for the type of music that you would select. If I was stretching for example I might use a track such as No Diggity. Affiliate Disclosure Who is Dr. Karageorghis?

Instead of [the traditional stimulation device] paradigm, what we're trying to do is send more of a sensory signal so rather than a motor signal taking over the muscles and causing them to do something, we're actually sending a signal as if movement is taking place and even if it isn't, as if movement is taking place and seeing how the brain responds to movement. Remember the body is capable of doing more than it's currently doing. And if we send a signal that movement is happening in a certain area, we're going to be able to tap into where those limitations are actually occurring. As we scan around with the electrode, we're able to find areas where there's dysfunction. Affiliate Disclosure Who is Garrett Salpeter?

We should not forget that our body, the human body is made out of minimum 900,000 different proteins. Most of the proteins we have no clue about. We know something about 30,000 but more than 850,000 proteins we have no clue about what they are, what they do and where they perform but whenever one of those proteins is losing its function we will run into a problem. Some of these problems we know we call them chronic diseases, we call them fatigue, we would call them lost of performance. We can also say simply we are ageing by losing protein functions because we accumulate more damage. By helping the body to regenerate and to repair those damages you would slow down the process of losing optimal functions. And in some cases we actually can reinstall functions that we lost and we perform better, we feel better, we are better.

Most of the fitness wearables are on the wrist because people are used to wearing watches and one thing that became apparent right off is they work reasonably well, they’ve gotten better at it but that is one of the worst places you can actually measure anything. There are a bunch of reasons for that - your tattoos, skin color, hair, you get vibration no matter how tight it is, you get a lot of interference from the sun, it’s much stronger than the LEDs they use on the watches. But the bigger thing is you don’t have a lot of concentration of where arteries handoff to capillaries, the blood, whereas in the finger you have a huge density of those.

If you imagine, lets just say a fighter, like a boxer. In the beginning, let’s imagine that our boxer’s poised. Meaning that he’s standing well balanced. That his ability to shift what he’s doing is actually very high. He can read and respond. And when he responds, the action that he takes keeps him in a position of being able to respond. My movement increases my ability to make better choices in the next moment. That’s what response means. Every choice you make has the characteristics of increasing your ability to make good choices in the next moment. Affiliate Disclosure  Who is Jordan Greenhall?

What we really have is a fundamental disequilibrium between the demand for health services by a population that’s growing in size, staying alive longer and accumulating illness and disease and a system that was designed not for that volume and scale and complexity and therefore it can’t meet the demands.

We’ve taken the complexity of the human system and try to make it complicated, which really doesn’t work when you’re looking at wellness, health optimization and really moving the body to a greater potential.

I’ve been interested in optimal performance for quite some time but I was focusing very much into my tools, the way I use technologies, computers, methods and so on. Basically what’s outside of me and how I interact with that world, how I solve problems. I was optimizing the way I work and how I learn and all that. But doing that I discovered that health is also a key component and taking care of your temple - your body - is super important if you want to really perform, ultimately.  Affiliate Disclosure About the Guest: Teemu Arina Teemu is Chief Biohacker and Chairman of the board at Biohacker Center, a research center for digital health & wellness.

The best approach for nootropics that I found and I try to impart on people is to think about them as tools where we can go from hopefully 95 to 100% in that range, just being totally optimized in ourselves to 105, 110% using nootropics. So hoping for some small increase above what we’re already capable of as opposed to what many people are drawn towards nootropics for, which is to go from 60, 70% because they got a bad night of sleep, bad diet, drinking alcohol in order to just simply get by or function and I think that taking that approach is really the first step.
