The Neuro Experience

To live long, healthy lives, research suggests looking towards the gut microbiome to ward off chronic diseases like high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, or type 2 diabetes. A whopping 46 million Americans are currently over 65 years of age. As Americans age, they are more at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

In this part II of the podcast with Dr. Ralph Esposito, we discuss all things nutrition and hormones. We attack this from an athletic perspective and give reference to questions like "what are the hormones that athletes need to know about and what are we doing to mess these hormones up".

Dr Austin Perlmutter, MD is back on the podcast to give us a a complete overhaul of the immune system, inflammation and what we can do to optimise for both.

Some types of inflammation are damaging to the body, while others, usually more transient and playing a signaling role, can be beneficial. Chronic inflammation creates reactive oxygen species that damage DNA, cellular proteins, and lipids. This type of inflammation plays a key role in the development of many diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

The immune system is the body’s natural defense system. It does not reside in one single part of the body—rather, it is made up of a network of cells, molecules, tissues, and organs working together to protect the body.

The most crucial part of this entire podcast?

When Austin and I break down the what and the why behind increased inflammation and decreased immunity. We go into strategies and interventions you can use to have a better performing brain and live a healthier life.

My guest today is a revolutionary thinker and medical doctor who’s on a mission to make you younger.

Scientists now know that short-term acute “stress” has powerful health and longevity benefits, as long as the stress subsides at some point.
For example, it’s long been known that exercise is good for us, but it wasn’t exactly clear why. Hormesis is the likely explanation.

Consuming nothing at all can also put your body into a temporary state of nutritional adversity. Extended malnourishment is not good, but smaller doses of calorie restriction can help promote longevity.

Adam is the Chief medical officer and co-founder of Span Health. He is also a medical doctor focused on longevity and aging. His background is in internal medicine and oncology with an MSc in genomics.

In this episode Adam teaches us:
The Long-Term Benefits of Short-Term Stress
Why ‘hormesis’ is key to your health and longevity
How to age backwards
What Metformin is and who should consume it.
How tech is revolutionising the health space

I’m sure you are sick to death of the confusion surrounding COVID-19. I am too!

The bottom line is is that there is so much confusion about what is going on and where exactly we are right now. Who should we trust? Who is right and who is just feeding us more politics?

Most of the confusion comes from public officials and some physicians, those who we deem to trust, who have told lies and who have failed to abide by the laws that govern their industry. It’s hard to not be angry when you hear a two year old crying about the masking mandate. Should we be masking kids?

To help me cut through the noise, the confusion and endless bickering, I was fortunate enough to sit down with Dr. Vinay Prasad to The Neuro Experience podcast. The bulk of our conversion was about Covid-19, or more accurately, the stupidity surrounding it. The misinformation.

A doctor who is at the forefront of public health and policy who lead me through the discussion on how to navigate through these tough times.

If you're going to unlock the next level health enhancing, life lengthening and all round optimising benefits of sleep, then you're going to have to start treating a good night's rest like it matters, because it does- a whole lot.

I recently interviewed Justin Medeiros, the worlds fittest man and winner of the 2021 Crossfit championships. He revealed his recovery techniques, his winning sleep routine and how he has incorporated sleep into his life to increase game day performance.

The interesting part? Sleep is becoming the next holy grail of human performance.

There is an old saying on Wall Street that the market is driven by just three emotions: fear and greed and uncertainty. Succumbing to these three traits are the biggest challenge that most people wanting ultimate success possess.

Fear is what stops us from making the hard decisions. It’s called F.O.M.O

Greed pushes us to make the wrong decisions. At the end of the 20th century, extreme greed fueled a bubble.

Uncertainty is a lack of confidence in our decisions. Investors face an uncertain economic future fraught with danger, risk, and false optimism.

In this episode with Denise Shull, performance coach and former trader who uses neuroeconomics and modern psychoanalysis in her work with hedge funds and professional athletes. 

In this insightful episode Denise and I take a helicopter view of the brain of an investor and trader paying particular attention to the decision making processs, the limiting beliefs holding them from succeeding, how they make great decisions and they protect themselves form losses. We then finish up by cleaning up the confusion around the popular TV series ‘billions’. For those who don’t know, Denise has finished a long battle against Showtime’s TV series Billions. She answers alot of the questions around the lawsuit and reveals the truth behind the battle.

This episode is a part II dedicated to understanding the sleep stages. If you haven’t done so yet, I urge you to listen to part I titled “2 Powerful Ways to Increase Your REM Sleep” so you get an understanding of the difference.

Despite a better understanding of the genetic, physiological and environmental factors involved in the sleep-wake regulation, many people still don’t get enough sleep—in fact, as many as one-third are not sleep enough, according to the National Sleep Foundation. One potential reason is the public’s lack of information or even misinformation about sleep. In other words, a lot of people still believe a lot of the common myths when it comes to getting a good nights sleep.

These myths aren’t supported by current scientific evidence and are likely subtracting from your sleep health.

In this episode we will cover what deep sleep is, the main processes associated with deep sleep and then we will finish off with some deep sleep blockers- that is, the things that you might be doing that are blocking your deep sleep.
