Episode 15 - Electrocute your brain for improved performance and to learn faster! Wait......what? Jan 14, 2019

Show notes

Need superhuman strength to survive the zombie apocalypse? In this podcast, we discuss the concept and the research behind a new form of performance hacking, what's been dubbed Brain doping, or more formally known as NeuroPriming. This is a procedure scientifically termed transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) used to increase plasticity in the brain prior to an activity. This process decreases the amount of input required for neurons to fire, and helps neurons fire together, enabling more rapid strengthening of connections in the brain. When paired with quality training, this results in increased strength, explosiveness, endurance, and muscle memory. Quackery you say? Maybe, let's take a closer look.

Episode 9 - Use Your Mind to Keep Your Body in Check Dec 17, 2018

Show notes

In this episode...

The guys dive into mental fitness, aka meditation. It's been shown that meditation can help:

Anxiety
Asthma
Cancer
Chronic Pain
Depression
Heart Disease
High Blood Pressure
Tension Headache

Seems like that little jerk of a stress hormone cortisol can sometimes get out of control and meditation can wrangle it back in a bit and help prevent a magnitude of issues. Whether it's mantra meditation (repetitive words or phrases) or mindful meditation (paying attention to the breath and being in the moment) there's a ton of benefits.

Mentioned:

2013 study on effect of meditation on cortisol levels

2011 study on telomerase activity
