Hacking Happiness: How to Leverage Evolutionary Biology to Live the Good Life - Dr. Gad Saad : 1091

In today's episode, we're joined by Dr. Gad Saad, a professor of marketing at Concordia University's John Molson School of Business. More significantly, Dr. Saad has spent a decade as the research chair in evolutionary behavioral sciences and Darwinian consumption. He's a prominent voice challenging political correctness and its associated oppressions. Beyond his extensive research and academic accolades, Dr. Saad reaches out to a broader audience, sharing his insights through his popular blog, YouTube channel, and podcast. As someone deeply interested in challenging harmful ideologies, I've taken note of his impactful book, The Parasitic Mind. Today, I'm particularly eager to delve into the findings of his latest release, The Saad Truth About Happiness. In our discussion centered around his newest book, we delve into the evolutionary aspects of happiness. As someone who's written extensively on longevity and aims to live to at least 180, I believe in the importance of happiness as a skill. With Dr. Saad, we explore living the life you truly desire, the role of anti-fragility in happiness, and the inherent biological differences in male and female behaviors. It's crucial, especially in today's climate, to understand the triggers that may be rooted in our biology or false belief systems. Drawing from personal experiences, I can vouch for the invaluable insights in Dr. Saad's book. Listeners, it's a must-read for those keen on understanding and cultivating happiness.

Unlocking Optimal Health Through Your Genetic Code: Healing from Veganism, Chronic Pain & Stressors ...

Today, we welcome back a guest from the early days of this podcast, fellow former vegan and esteemed researcher and scientist, Chris Masterjohn. Chris Masterjohn earned his PhD in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Connecticut, and has worked as a postdoctoral research associate and Assistant Professor of Health and Nutrition Sciences. In 2016, he transitioned to entrepreneurship. These days, Chris conducts independent research, consults, develops information products, and creates free content to help people improve their health. Chris is dedicated to sharing practical principles from complex science, and to the pursuit of truth and continuous learning. He's a biohacker from before the word “biohacking” came to be, appearing on episode 16 of this podcast when I was just getting that movement started, because he not only pays attention to how stuff works in the world and academic research, but he hacks his own body. I've always liked the way he thinks mechanistically about biology, nutrients, and what to eat. In this conversation, we talk about how to recover from veganism and reverse the effects of oxalates, highlighting the long term health impacts of the vegan diet. His own self experimentation lately is of particular interest to me as he’s been exploring the intersection of genetics and mitochondrial health to heal niche health conditions and even quell extreme fears or stressors. We also talk about the link between energy metabolism and psychological trauma, chronic pain and oxalate overload, and even explore the potential dangers of methylene blue from his latest 58 page research paper breaking down the importance of correct dosing. If you’re a true biohacker, you’re going to love this deep dive into how minerals and metabolism play a huge role in our biology. (03:47) Genetic Optimization: A New Approach to Healing Chronic Pain & Disease •How his perspective on nutrition has changed since our first episode •The extreme effects veganism had on his health •Using genetics research to find solutions to rare health issues •The role of AI in diagnosing health conditions—now and in the future •Focusing on mitochondria as the root cause to heal health issues •Access his program: [chrismasterjohnphd.com] (https://chrismasterjohnphd.com/) •What will reverse the anti fertility trend? •The psychological rewiring required to heal chronic disease states •Lowering your stress response with GABA and hierarchical exposure therapy •How energy metabolism and psychological trauma symptoms are related (32:08) Recovering from Veganism & Oxalate Overload •Can you do veganism well? •Addressing the impact of plant toxins and oxalates •The link between chronic pain and oxalate overload •How to reverse the effects of oxalates •The use of biotin to clear oxalates and dosing suggestions •Read: [Toxic Superfoods by Sally Norton] (https://www.amazon.com/Toxic-Superfoods-Oxalate-Overload-Sick/dp/0593139585/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=533463736693&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1948425991293281235&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031340&hvtargid=pla-1412649788869) •Oxalate dumping symptoms explained •Advice for recovering vegans •Read: [Le Chatelier's principle] (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Le_Chatelier%27s_principle) •Viome: [viome.com] (https://www.viome.com/) (01:04:09) Methylene Blue: Potential Dangers & Dosage Recommendations •The dangers of combining methylene blue with ayahuasca and psychedelics •Research conclusions on methylene blue dosing •How methylene blue can impact people with Alzheimer’s •Side effects of combining methylene blue with SSRIs •Using methylene blue to help allergy sufferers •ED as a side effect of methylene blue Resources Dave Asprey’s NEW Book ‘Smarter Not Harder’ is out now: [https://daveasprey.com/books] (https://daveasprey.com/books) Website: [chrismasterjohnphd.com] (https://chrismasterjohnphd.com/) Facebook: [facebook.com/chrismasterjohn] (https://www.facebook.com/chrismasterjohn/) X: [twitter.com/ChrisMasterjohn] (https://twitter.com/ChrisMasterjohn) Rumble: [rumble.com/user/chrismasterjohn] (https://rumble.com/user/chrismasterjohn) YouTube: [youtube.com/user/chrismasterjohn] (https://www.youtube.com/user/chrismasterjohn) Gab: [gab.com/chrismasterjohn] (https://gab.com/chrismasterjohn) Telegram: [t.me/chrismasterjohnphd] (https://t.me/chrismasterjohnphd) GETTR: [gettr.com/user/chrismasterjohn] (https://gettr.com/user/chrismasterjohn) Podcast: [Everything You Need To Know About Saturated Fat & Cholesterol with Chris Masterjohn #16] (https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/5725415e-f97b-4ce2-8ef7-cfa4cf944e3f/episodes/9436d80c-6c7d-4e90-b270-affb718ffd8c/the-human-upgrade-with-dave-asprey%E2%80%94formerly-bulletproof-radio-podcast-16-everything-you-need-to-know-about-saturated-fat-cholesterol-with-chris-masterjohn) Podcast: [Nicotine, the Perfect Psychotropic?

Game-Changing Focus: Play the World’s First FDA-Approved Video Game – Dr. Adam Gazzaley : 1089

If you struggle with retaining sharp focus or have been diagnosed with ADHD or other conditions that impede your brain from functioning at its optimal level, this is the podcast episode for you. We learn about a (literally) out-of-the-box solution to attention training—video games. Yes, you read that right. Our guest today, Dr. Adam Gazzaley, holds an M.D. and Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Mount Sinai School of Medicine and completed Neurology residency at the University of Pennsylvania, followed by postdoctoral training in cognitive neuroscience at UC Berkeley. He's currently the David Dolby Distinguished Professor at UC San Francisco and the Founder/Executive Director of Neuroscape, a center focusing on technology-driven scientific research. So it’s safe to say that Adam is not your prototypical basement gamer. As someone who struggled with focus and attention due to Asperger’s syndrome and brain fog due to the effects of toxic mold exposure, figuring out how to retrain my brain to be able to retain more information and focus longer was one of the first areas of biohacking I ever explored. This is why I’m so excited to be talking all about Endeavor Rx today, the world's first FDA-authorized prescription video game treatment for pediatric ADHD—and Endeavor OTC, for adults who struggle with ADHD, focus, attention, and distraction. We explore how we can measure attention and improvement in focus, the biological systems that control what we focus on consciously and subconsciously, the role of nutrition in our ability to focus, the underlying technology of Endeavor, measuring its effectiveness, and Adam’s vision for how we can use biosensing technology—now and in the future—to optimize awareness, focus, mood, and more.

The Science of Sex: Longevity, Pleasure & Performance - Susan Bratton : 1087

Today's episode is with my friend Susan Bratton, who is an intimacy expert with 20 years of experience. She runs a publishing company called Better Lover, and has a supplement company called The 20. Her expertise is in ageless sexuality, sexual biohacking, libido supplementation, and sexual regenerative therapies that roll back the clock on aging. Whether you're a man or a woman, you’ll learn the specific things you can do to change the performance, the shape, the sensitivity, and the longevity of this amazing part of your body. All life on earth—human and otherwise—runs through the same set of automated decision making that happens before your brain even gets engaged, one of which is what we’ll be talking about today, which keeps the species alive forever. Let’s call it fertility. It is actually a source of nourishment for us. So when you're of the appropriate age, this is as important as eating, breathing and drinking water. Yet, we pay more attention to our food than we do to our reproductive and recreational sides of staying connected to our humanness. That's why Susan's on the show today. She shares the science behind the link between intimacy and longevity, explains how to prevent atrophy in these important areas of our bodies, dispels myths about self-pleasure, gives a tutorial on all kinds of toys that can increase function and pleasure for all genders, and lists tips for creating more connection and communication in the bedroom.

Reclaim Your Health Freedom: Understanding the Systems Keeping Us Sick - Ivor Cummins : 1085

If you're frustrated with a system prioritizing profit over societal well-being, this episode is pivotal. Today, we dive deep with Ivor Cummins, a Dublin-based biochemical engineer with a knack for simplifying complex topics. Based on his personal history of insulin resistance and health struggles, he was able to self-heal through nutrition and a low carb diet. In this conversation, we examine the nexus of insulin resistance, heart health, and the current medical system’s failure to diagnose and treat metabolic diseases. Our discussion sheds light on the origins of our current societal framework and its influence on our health and choices. Ivor's unique perspective, combining the understanding of intricate systems in both power and biology, illustrates a clear parallel: We’ve been given systems that aren’t working for the greater good. In many cases, our health is in our own hands. Mine and Ivor’s stories of weight loss are two of millions examples of that. However, recognizing these facts offers hope, because when you’re informed and aware, you have the freedom to choose what’s right for you, and the confidence to stand up for it. With that goal in mind, we examine the impact of influential figures like the Rockefellers and J.P. Morgan, discuss what’s going on at the WHO in response to the recent COVID pandemic, and explain the need for distributed versus central governing systems, among many other blockades to true freedom we’re currently facing. Expanding our collective awareness through these conversations is the key to reclaiming control over our lives. Lastly, I can’t emphasize enough the power of consumer choice. Institutions can't dictate our spending without offering value. There's a peaceful, two-fold solution to our current dilemma— leveraging technology and altering our behaviors. But most importantly, dispelling the pervasive myths that have clouded our understanding and judgment for decades.

Enhance Your Sleep Performance with the Organic, Athlete-Approved Essentia Mattress - Jack Dell'Acci...

Our guest is Jack Dell’Accio, the CEO of Essentia. Essentia has been working on non toxic, organic mattresses for 20 years. Of most importance to Jack is the impact of restorative sleep in terms of recovery from disease, prevention of disease, longevity, and performance. He's funded a bunch of research on sleep quality and has worked directly with health gurus including myself, professional athletes, various teams in the NBA, NFL, MLS, and over 25% of active NHL players on creating healthy sleep performance. Essentia’s organic mattress has been recognized by several internationally renowned organizations including the Mayo Clinic’s Well Living Lab, and has been named the #1 foam mattress by Consumer Reports for seven consecutive years. If you're a long time listener or you've read some of my books, you understand how getting a lot of sleep is probably not good for you. If it's more than eight hours, your chances of dying are higher than people who get seven hours a night. The reason I wanted to have Jack on the show today is to go over the latest data on how sleeping on an organic Essentia mattress can improve REM and deep sleep by between 20 and 60 percent. Remember—it's not the volume, it's the quality of sleep that matters. Jack provides actionable data on how to improve the quality of your sleep through ensuring your mattress is supporting you from a biological standpoint, so you can make every minute count. We explore what the organic Essentia mattress is made of and the technology that sets it apart from others on the market. We also share our tips for getting the best quality sleep you can get, and how getting regular deep sleep impacts all other areas of your life. 00:02:35 — How Non-Toxic Essentia Mattresses Support Sleep on a Chemical Level •Why athletes aren’t able to sleep well •The number 1 thing impacting your sleep quality •Environmental toxins’ impact on brain metabolism •Why comfort might not be the most important factor in your mattress •Shop: [myessentia.com/daveasprey] (https://learn.myessentia.com/dave-asprey-bulletproof-podcast/) •How Essentia prevents mold in mattresses •Why putting quartz in mattresses is beneficial for blood cell performance •Exploring the science behind quantum effects 00:26:34 — Unraveling Sleep Secrets: Longevity, Light & Legislation •Measuring heart rate variability to determine quality of sleep •How long the people who live the longest sleep •True Dark: [truedark.com] (https://truedark.com/) •The implications of the government’s ban on all incandescent light bulbs •Why there’s legislation around what mattresses are made of •The resistance Jack received from chemists in removing chemicals from mattresses •How a decrease in sleep quality can accelerate the rate of aging •The Bulletproof Diet: [daveasprey.com/roadmap] (https://daveasprey.com/the-complete-illustrated-one-page-bulletproof-diet/) 00:44:40 — Biohacking Rule #1: Prioritize Quality Sleep •The importance of rest for recovery and performance •Sleep: [sleepwithdave.com] (http://sleepwithdave.com/) •Mattresses for women versus men •Sleep hacks for temperature management •The specs, content and density of the Essentia Mattress •Upgrade Labs: [ownanupgradelabs.com] (https://ownanupgradelabs.com/) •Biohacking Conference: [biohackingconference.com] (http://biohackingconference.com/) •How to determine if a company’s marketing claims are real or fake •Exposing marketing over substance in the mattress industry •Mold Documentary: [moldymovie.com] (http://moldymovie.com/) •What Jack is developing to improve people’s wellness through sleep Resources: Upgrade your sleep today!

Your Home Is Making You Sick: Biohack Your Living Space with Toxin Testing - Ryan Blaser : 1082

The environment you live in has the most profound impact on your health and wellbeing, but are you aware of the toxins and pollutants we’re surrounded by on a daily basis? That is why today’s episode is so important. We talk about toxins that are overlooked in your house and what you can do about them. Our guest is Ryan Blaser, the founder and CEO of Test My Home, an environmental company dedicated to improving your health by changing the environment around you. As a functional medicine doctor for your home, Ryan uses his expertise in building biology and healthy home consulting to identify and address toxic sources that could be impacting your health. After a unique personal wellness journey, Ryan founded Test My Home to help others achieve optimal health. He personally experienced the detrimental effects of mold exposure and lead inhalation, which caused unusual and serious health symptoms like fatigue, weight loss, and brain fog. After unsuccessful attempts with conventional doctors, Ryan took the initiative to investigate his home environment and found the source of his health issues. He cured himself and is now sharing his knowledge and experience with the world. The definition of biohacking is to change the environment around you, and inside of you, so you have full control of your own biology. This is a part of core biohacking, and it's one I think a lot of us just don't think about. We take our supplements, we do our cold plunges, we do all the different biohacks, but just cleaning up the environment around you could make a really big difference. So, in this episode you’ll learn about the most common pollutants and toxins in your home, how to identify them, and ways you can mitigate or eliminate their effects.

Top Tips from the Trainer of Superheroes! – Magnus Lygdbäck : 1079

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™, we revisit a conversation Dave had with Magnus Lygdbäck in Spring of 2022. You’ll learn how a trainer of superheroes and superstars combines core principles of fitness, nutrition, structure and balance. Magnus Lygdbäck, a Swedish health and wellness expert, entrepreneur, and lifestyle coach, joins the show to discuss powering your life in ways that most benefit your health and energy. For more than 20 years, he’s trained some of the world’s most recognizable actors, musicians, athletes, artists, and high-performance business entrepreneurs. Musicians like pop stars Katy Perry, Dua Lipa, Harry Styles and Britney Spears. Actors like Gal Gadot forWonder Woman 1984; Alicia Vikander, forTomb Raider; Ben Affleck, forJustice League;and many more. He designed Alexander Skarsgård’s incredible transformation for the lead role as a Viking Berserker in the brand new movie, [The Northman] (https://www.focusfeatures.com/the-northman) . Even with his “celebrity trainer” title (which he doesn’t love), Magnus is quick to say, “It's notwhoyou train, it'show you train.” His [Magnus Method] (https://magnusmethod.com/) training philosophy embraces the “ethos of an athlete.” This all-inclusive approach to performance includes an athlete’s intensity and structure, while also maintaining balance and energy. Time-zone travel, long days of filming, rehearsals, and the constant demands on a celebrity performer’s time means examining all aspects of fueling, rest and recovery. The same applies to the everyday lives of mere mortals. He encourages being open to learning new things and seeking out discomfort so you can grow. “Look at three things,” Magnus recommends. “One, what do I like to do? No. 2, what does my body need? No. 3, what do I want to master or get better at? That should create your weekly programming.” You already know, and Magnus will remind you, that there are absolutely no life shortcuts to being the superhero of your own life. In this conversation, you’ll find out how much time to spend on your workouts (not as much as you think). “What doesn’t happen in the first hour will not happen in the second,” he says frequently. Even for superheroes. ---Learn more about Magnus Lygdbäck’s journey from hockey player to [celebrity trainer] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfJ8rCz_-Vw) . ---Find out how you can improve your own performance on Magnus’s extensive [YouTube channel] (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUPwPMjZAM5LNB8Fd7M5b9w/featured) . ---Get Magnus’ superhero training programs, nutrition guides, coaching and a community of like-minded people with the [Magnus Method app] (https://magnusmethodapp.com/) .

Raise Resilient Minds: How to Help Your Kids Self Regulate & Form Better Habits - Dr. Caroline Leaf ...

Today, we’re joined by second-time guest, Dr. Caroline Leaf, to talk about helping kids clean up their mental mess and be more resilient—all based on research from her latest book, How to Help Your Child Clean Up Their Mental Mess. In this episode, Dr. Caroline Leaf shares the best ways for parents to help their kids understand their emotions and build better habits. Dr. Leaf conducts ongoing research and clinical trials in the field of psychoneurobiology in order to improve mental health interventions, many of which she summarizes in this far reaching, informative conversation.

How to Drop Happily Ever After and Do Relationships Better! – John Kim, LMFT : 1077

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE you’ll learn how to recognize your own sh*t and be a better partner in relationships. Want a sustainable partnership? Communicate and apologize; fight without fighting; identify codependent behavior (your own); and manage jealousy (also your own). This conversation gets into how you can let go of unrealistic ideals of how you think love and relationships should be and live fully in the present. You’ll also get tips on how to be emotionally responsible to people you love every day. Guest John Kim, a licensed marriage and family therapist, as well as a life coach, cracks his life into two big pieces… split on either side of what he calls “the great divide” of his own divorce several years ago. He did the whole “get a tattoo and a Harley” thing to find his way. He also combined what he learned in therapy school with life coaching and technology to be mobile and create online communities. He became known as an unconventional therapist, seeing clients at coffee shops, on hikes, or in a CrossFit box.He’s built a devoted following of fans who love the frank and authentic insights that he—as “The Angry Therapist”—freely shares on social media. TikTok’s his jam, with over 450K people tuning in for his “shot glass” bits of life wisdom. In his book, written with his romantic partner and fellow therapist [Vanessa Bennett] (https://t.nylas.com/t1/278/6qfn6hmz5awzm66abw8l1r5nx/1/4b51a043e4ec89c1fd160eab7a7f596ac0a5c30cf3c131851c4638343eb79d0a) ,John takes a different (honest, humorous, raw) approach by dissecting his own relationship dynamic to bring clarity to yours. Each part of “ [IT’S NOT ME, IT’S YOU: Break the Blame Cycle, Relationship Better] (https://t.nylas.com/t1/278/6qfn6hmz5awzm66abw8l1r5nx/2/50729065691cf92132cc4ddbb1f8f23145c003fb05003dce7a411534386b4acf) ” gives you questions to ask yourself and practices to do. It’s a book that pushes you into doing and putting your newfound knowledge to IRL use. Here’s a sneak peek at a few of theLove Lessons (In a Shot Glass)you’ll find in “ [It’s Not Me, It’s You] (https://www.harpercollins.com/products/its-not-me-its-you-john-kimvanessa-bennett?variant=39913484451874) .” ---Love is not a battlefield. Your head is. ---If someone is unsure about you, it’s never worth the investment. ---Hold love, don’t grab it. ---Don’t stop believing (be Journey). ---Love is what teaches us how to live.

How to Control, Reframe and Change the Chatter in Your Head! – Ethan Kross, Ph.D. : 1072

In this episode of The Human Upgrade you’ll find out how to harness the power of your inner voice to ease anxiety, improve physical and mental health, and deepen your relationship with others. “The mind is flexible, if we know how to bend it,” says psychologist and award-winning professor Ethan Kross, Ph.D., founder of the Emotion & Self Control Laboratory at the University of Michigan. He’s one of the world’s leading experts in controlling the conscious mind. He studies the ways in which your inner voice impacts your health, performance, decisions and relationships. He explores how people manage their emotions in order to better understand self-control. In particular, the conversations you have with yourself directly impact every part of your health and life. He explain that your inner voice functions to do things like this: ---Keep information active in your mind ---Coach you through problems ---Simulate and plan ahead ---Tell you stories That inner voice can be a powerful tool, giving you creativity, connection and definition. However, when the voice turns to negative and disorienting self-talk (chatter), it can create chaos and overwhelm by zooming into our problems, making you lose perspective. Ethan’s pioneering research mixes behavioral and brain research to get at the “why” behind human nature. He uses insights from his research to give people science-based tools they can use to change their behavior, be used in relationships, support a career move, improve physical performance, decrease stress, increase productivity and be used to reach life goals. You’ll use new tools like mental time travel, tough love and introspection. In this conversation about his book, [“CHATTER: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It,] (https://www.amazon.com/Chatter-Voice-Head-Matters-Harness/dp/0525575235) ” you’ll learn: ---How social media plays a part in our chatter ---How to zoom out with a flexible mind, changing thoughts and distancing ourselves ---How to use tough love ---How to teach your kids about chatter from a young age ---How to help your friends with their own chatter (and what makes it worse) With Ethan’s experience studying the conscious mind for 20 years, you can learn how to turn negativity into an awesome tool that helps you master your own self-talk.
