Maximize The Benefits Of Sauna & Cold Thermogenesis for Emotional Health, Mental Performance and Longevity May 26, 2022

Show notes

Robbie Bent is the CEO and Co-Founder of Othership, a platform for breathwork, connection, and mental wellness. This is a part II to our series with Robbie Bent. Be sure to check out the first episode which is linked below.
This particular episode is all about heat and cold. Heat from sauna and hot tub therapy improves cardiovascular and metabolic health by stimulating heat shock proteins that initiate a downstream series of favorable health improvements.
Cold exposure has many health (metabolic and immune) benefits. I have a cold tub at home in Australia and I miss it so much! I'm excited for you all to listen to this episode and find out why heat and cold are so beneficial for you.

Sixth Brain Cancer Death Among Ex-Phillies players - What is a Glioblastoma? May 24, 2022

Show notes

The deaths of six former Philadelphia Phillies players from brain cancer since 2003 have sparked concerns over the playing surface and radar guns at the team's former stadium - and now one doctor is calling for an investigation.
Interestingly, there has been an outbreak of glioblastomas at a local New Jersey High School resulting in 107 cases of glioblastomas at this school.

Glioblastoma is an aggressive type of cancer that can occur in the brain or spinal cord. Glioblastoma forms from cells called astrocytes that support nerve cells. Glioblastoma can occur at any age, but tends to occur more often in older adults. It can cause worsening headaches, nausea, vomiting and seizures.

WHOOP Masterclass with VP of Performance Kristen Holmes May 23, 2022

Show notes

I have been dying to do this podcast, it’s been quite a long time coming. As many of you know I have been wearing a WHOOP strap for many years to track and measure my performance.
This strap is pretty much a self-quantification device and allows me to measure my sleep, HRV, recovery, exercise and much more. The thing I love most about this company is the amount of research that is being done on the back end.
WHOOP as a company partners with well known physicians and scientists with well known labs across the world to quantify their data. So I thought it would be time that I brought their VP of performance on the podcast, Kristen Holmes.
This episode is everyone you need to know regarding WHOOP.

The Ketone-Fueled Brain - How Ketones Enhance Sleep, Brain Performance, Athletic Performance and More | HVMN May 16, 2022

Show notes

Today I interview Michael Brandt- CEO and founder of HVMN- Health via modern nutrition and the research lead for his company- Dr Latt Mansor. Together, these two gentlemen are on a mission to solve many dysfuntions in the body and brain with the help of ketones.
Michael believes ketones are a nutritional primitive; a tool for everyone’s toolkit, akin to Omega-3, caffeine, or CBD. H.V.M.N. launched the world’s first ketone ester in 2017, secured a $6MM contract with U.S. Special Operations Command, and has since worked with elite athletes and researchers to determine the effects of its ketone formulas on everything from athletic performance to recovery to metabolic health and longevity.

H.V.M.N. recently announced their second generation of ketones, Ketone-IQ. You can use code NEURO to get 10% off!

What is True Sleep Optimisation? Dr Tommy Wood Apr 26, 2022

Show notes

Imagine if you could wake up everyday feeling completely rejuvenated, like you’ve squeezed every last beneficial drop out of your sleep. How do you think that would affect your life? Would you be happier? Would you get more done? Would you have better relationships with family and friends? Could you even live longer?

Sleep is part of what makes us human. We all know we need it, and appreciate it on a daily basis. Yet it is largely taken for granted as a fact of life, and we mostly fail to utilize it to its full potential.

Dr. Tommy Wood is back in the studio today discussing all things sleep- the good and the bad. In this episode you will learn:

Quality and problems with sleep trackers
What is true optimisation of sleep?
Insomnia treatment options
How formula 1 drivers optimise sleep while traveling
Tracking HRV with a chest strap
Temperature and thermal regulation

SUNDAY BRUNCH: Glycine as a Sleep Hack Apr 17, 2022

Show notes

overworked and almost burned out after doing crazy hours at training and at work that my sleep quality was so poor it was basically non-existant. Working hours reached, at their worst, nearly 100 per week – average was easily over 60. So where did I cut the time for working out and socialization?

You got it right, sleep.

Since 2016 I had been trying out different supplements, technologies, mattresses, pillows, beds, bedrooms, and all kinds of herbs for achieving better sleep. But nothing can make it better if you have only limited time to spend in the bed. So that particular feature was the first step in optimizing sleep: simply spending more time in bed and changing my life in such a way that it made sleeping more possible.

This episode delves deep into the secrets of better deep sleep with a the latest findings in Glycine and its effects on deep sleep.

Blood glucose regulation
Lipid Panels
CMP: Liver and Gallbladder Markers
CBC, Iron, and Inflammatory Markers
sex hormones
Thyroid Markers
and more....
