Part 5 of the Bedroom Hero Series

Transcript:

[00:01] Welcome back to the recharge podcast. This is segment five on biohacking behind the bedroom door. I want to share a few things that I picked up from a functional medicine really redefining medicine conference. A really fascinating on some of the technology that people are using to boost a libido deal with erectile or men's health function. And so some of this is anecdotal. Obviously you want to check it out and do your own due diligence. But I'm fascinated by science and how people are pushing boundaries in frontiers. And so the, um, the first is a electrical muscle stimulation or ems. And so there a variety of products out on the market. They can actually accomplish this there used in recovery. And I experimented with a few of them when I used to compete in triathlon. Uh, some of the brands you might come across would be compacts or new fit, but the way these work is actually stimulate muscles, primarily leg muscles is how they're often used and it actually increases the androgen receptors are testosterone receptors. [00:58] So it does act a lot like exercise, high intensity training or weight training versus just a way to hack your time, particularly if you know you're sitting reading, relaxing, you can actually benefit and use that time wisely. Next is red light therapy. There is some data about red light therapy in terms of maybe improving testosterone function, maybe vascular flow. There's plenty of data from science on infrared in terms of longevity from a heart standpoint. There's some very interesting finished studies that have talked about in other episodes about longevity and decreasing mortality by just sitting in the sauna few times a week. So, uh, the red light actually can stimulate some collagen production and help potentially with some skin aging skin issues. Uh, so there's a variety of devices on the market that you can look for. I like true light. Um, it's a company that's created an own believe by Dave asprey. [01:54] If I'm correct on that, if I'm not, let me know. Moving on to a cold thermogenesis, I've been playing around with this as much as possible, given that I live in a northern climate and six months out of the year. Unfortunately sucks and it's cold, but there's a course by Wim Hoff. He is actually the one who sort of pioneered some of these cold techniques and did some interesting studies that were validated by science where he can actually control his autonomic nervous system through cold exposure in breath techniques and so cold thermogenesis is designed to increase growth hormone, which a lot of people interested in the fitness and bodybuilding space would be keen to know boost testosterone and can actually increase growth of new blood vessels or vascularization as it's called. I have on the list for Santa next year, chilly pad, so somewhat of an expensive device, but circulates a underneath the mattress and can allow you to sleep much cooler, much cooler. [02:53] And I'm just curious when I start playing around with that device, what sort of effects I'll have. I know there's plenty of, of people out there who are well known on the social media circuit who endorse this product. And um, I've heard about it before. I just haven't pulled the trigger on buying it yet. I'm moving onto a roasted nuts and the dangers of emf. All our devices that were attached to connect the two in love with obsessed with emit electrical radiation. I shared an episode on in my men's health course talking about roasted nuts and how potentially carrying your device in your front pocket can have some effects. There's plenty of data out there on power line, transmission, cell phone use, concerns about brain cancers. I'm not saying that it's all been validated through your own diligence and research and see what you think, but it seems to make intuitive sense that if you have a device that's emitting radiation next to your testicles, it's probably not the best situation. [03:51] Similarly, females, when your devices in your front pocket, your ovaries aren't that far away and these devices produce a fair amount of electrical energy that can be measured with a cheap device from Amazon. So what I mean just in fact, holding your phone in one hand, away from your body and having somebody measure the electrical impulse coming out the other side of your opposite hand. You'll clearly see the results of what I'm talking about. So there are some ways to counteract this, including grounding and earthing and using some pulse devices to help counteract the effects of, uh, of the, uh, radiation from devices. Uh, so I almost want to wrap this up here and keep it relatively short. I'll be talking next segment about another technology. I can't even call it a biohack because it's been around for 15 years and it's been used in a variety of other applications, but it's really come to light in the men's health, sexual health ed realm. So, as always, let me know if you have questions and I look forward to, uh, talking to you in the next week.
