Champion Insights from the Octagon: How to Train & Recover, Be a Parent, and Run a Business – Miesha...

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you’ll learn why many professional athletes, especially fighters, are some of the top biohackers in the world. They hack their bodies, minds, and environments to achieve an incredibly high level of performance. Every hack they do has to be effective—and means the difference between winning and losing. Professional MMA (mixed martial arts) fighter [Miesha Tate] (https://www.instagram.com/mieshatate/) knows and does just that while adding being a parent and entrepreneur into the mix. Miesha is a former UFC and Strikeforce Bantamweight champion, ONE Championship vice president, and winner of Celebrity Big Brother Season 3. She always draws on her experiences, whether from home birth or competing on the world’s biggest stages as a pro athlete as proof that when the mind and body are functioning with synchronicity, you are capable of great things. After more than a decade of wrestling and MMA competition culminating in her UFC World Championship in 2016, she stepped out of the octagon. “I retired from the sport and it took five years to figure out who I am other than Miesha Tate, the fighter,” she says. “So not only did I go soul searching, but I also went wellness searching.” ---She found red light to help her recovery and healing, hyperbaric oxygen therapy to restore and protect her brain, and breathing techniques to keep her present and grounded. ---She learned, too, the importance of mindfulness and attention to self—“to just be alone with your own thoughts.” ---She says there’s reward and fulfillment in doing something every day that pushes you and makes you a little bit uncomfortable. No pain required. She came back to professional MMA fighting after having two children and changed up nearly everything about her training. This included moving from Bantamweight to Flyweight, which meant reducing her already lean frame by another 10 pounds. She now looks at her body and mind as a comprehensive unit: the big things like hormones, nutrition, sleep and brain health; flow state during her fights; and she even takes on the more elusive soul work. Miesha focuses on empowering women through martial arts, with a particular emphasis on self-defense and building confidence. She’s become an advocate for women in combat sports, using her platform to promote equality and opportunities for women in the sport. She also helps others heal, recover, and discover their potential at [Desert Moon Wellness] (https://www.desertmoonwellness.com/) , which she co-founded with two women partners. She lists her three most important things in life as: 1) Family and friends, 2) time, and 3) goals and dreams. Watch this episodeon [YouTube] (https://youtu.be/6zJfnHTwi5U) !

How to Increase Neuroplasticity and Strengthen Your Brain – Moha Bensofia : 1031

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…you’ll learn how much control you can actually have over your brain. There’s a new way of accessing your meat operating system that adds an important element that’s been missing from the brain training conversation. Moha Bensofia joins the show to explain a new piece of neurotech called [Mendi] (https://www.mendi.io) . He shares the benefits of getting more blood to the front of your brain. Mendi uses neurofeedback to provide visual feedback based on your brain activity. A headset measures the activity while you play a fun brain-training mobile game. The system uses fNIRS technology to measure blood flow and oxygenation in the pre-frontal cortex of the brain. The brain training game requires focus and calmness, which increases activity and control of your brain’s pathways. By using Mendi, you can learn to control your brain activity and reach greater heights as an entrepreneur, athlete, and professional in any field. Mendi was developed initially for victims of war and trauma, as well as people struggling with anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD. But, as you’ll learn, everyone can benefit from this type of brain training.

How to Challenge Outdated Beliefs About Aging – Steven Kotler : 1026

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™... you will learn about the beliefs that kick in as normal humans age and most importantly, you will learn what you can do about those limiting beliefs. And who better to discuss this than the author of the book, " [Gnar Country: Growing Old, Staying Rad] (https://www.amazon.com/Gnar-Country-Growing-Old-Staying/dp/0063272903/) ," Steven Kotler. Steven is a friend of the show, executive director of the Flow Research Collective, a New York Times bestselling author, and an award-winning journalist. He tested his knowledge and theories on himself in a quest to learn how to park ski (an extreme type of skiing) at age 53. Science shows thatolder humans are better at learning certain skillsthan younger people. Brain changes occur in the second half of yourlife that unlock levels ofintelligence,wisdom,creativity, andempathyyou didn’t know were possible. In the conversation, Steven describes how his book chronicles his experience pushing his own aging body past preconceived limits. He also explains why he wrote a book about goals, grit and progression - and why he feels it's an important lesson for everyone to learn (not just those of you over 50). Steven also explains why he chose extreme skiing as his No. 1 anti-aging activity. “... if you really want to preserve cognitive function, you want to basically use the hippocampus in the way that evolution designed it. You want novel, challenging experiences in outdoor environments.” Watch this episode [on Youtube] (https://youtu.be/Ea8v9IbEo44) Find all the links and resources [in the show notes] (https://daveasprey.com/steven-kotler-gnar-1026) . *** WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

Having basically dissected nerds for her entire life, Jane now runs a fantastic newsletter and news site called [NEO.LIFE] (https://neo.life/) where she writes about biohacking and the future. If you were to combine someone who really understands society and understands tech (and has read as much science fiction as possible) you would have Jane. Jane’s, focus throughout her, career has been on how technology is transforming our world. But now she is fascinated with how deeply we can see inside the body and how processing the data we collect allows us to discover new cells, understand complex biological systems, and engineer bacteria, viruses, DNA, and ultimately ourselves. Her new platform, NEO.LIFE is for exploring how we Homo sapiens will use these technologies and new understandings to power our own evolution.

Exploring Human Potential, Sciencing Spirituality, and Getting Intense – Danica Patrick Interviews D...

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™...I do something different. Over the past 1000+ episodes, I have spent a lot of time talking and learning from my guests, but I have heard over and over that you would like to hear more from me about what I am doing, trying and thinking. Well, that can be awkward to do sitting alone in front of a microphone. A while ago, [Danica Patrick interviewed me] (https://www.danicapatrick.com/podcast/dave-asprey-2 ) and it is one of my favorite podcast interviews ever. Danica did a great job of digging into why I do what I do, why I think the way I think, and best of all she allowed me to talk about parts of my life that I have never talked about anywhere else. So, Danica has kindly allowed me to drop that episode from her podcast, Pretty Intense, right here on the Human Upgrade. You are going to learn a lot from the episode. We hit on a lot of pretty next-level stuff - our conversation even allowed me to dig into the concept of old souls (or reincarnation), and how that affects our current life. Danica is a fascinating person and an excellent interviewer. You are going to enjoy this feed drop. Watch this episode on [YouTube] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6yLizngzV4&t=3s) !

Upgrade Spotlight: Connecting Ketones, Metabolism & Energy – H.V.M.N. : 1018

[H.V.M.N.] (https://hvmn.com/pages/dave-asprey?rfsn=6901099.d8a79f) sponsored this episode. IN THIS “UPGRADE SPOTLIGHT” EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…Metabolic biochemist Latt Mansor, Ph.D., joins the show from [H.V.M.N.] (https://hvmn.com/pages/dave-asprey?rfsn=6901099.d8a79f) (Health Via Modern Nutrition), where he leads research for the company. He’s an expert in metabolism who consults with elite sport, military, clinical and research organizations. As a key biomarker of metabolic health, ketones are a source of fuel for your brain and body. They’re different from glucose and fat—and more efficient.Learning about the different kinds of ketones and how they work can help you both understand and harness their power. This discussion explains exogenous ketones, BDO-specific ketones BHB and ketone esters. You’ll also find out how to measure your ketones and why it’s important. Ketones have been shown to be anti-inflammatory. Another benefit happens during exercise. The increase in your ketone levels directly increases BDNF (brain-derived nootropic factor). When you raise ketones, you have a more flexible brain. Latt gets into the research behind H.V.M.N.’s development of drinkable ketones to improve performance.

How to Reclaim Feminine Divine Power – Kelly Brogan, M.D : 1017

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… [Dr. Kelly Brogan] (https://kellybroganmd.com/) shares why her views often go against conventional thinking—on topics from pharmaceuticals to sex to pole dancing to relationship compatibility. She's a psychiatrist who specializes inpsychosomatic medicine and integrative holistic medicine. Her root-cause resolution approach to psychiatric syndromes and symptoms coupled with other support techniques helps women reclaim their divine feminine power. I previously talked with Dr. Kelly on episode [#635] (https://daveasprey.com/dr-kelly-brogan-635/) about her book, " [Own Your Self: The Surprising Path Beyond Depression, Anxiety, and Fatigue to Reclaiming Your Authenticity, Vitality, and Freedom] (https://www.kellybroganmd.com/books) .” This romp of a discussion tackles women’s power and what it means to claim or reclaim it. And how women themselves can be harmful critics of other women’s choices. Dr. Kelly went through profound personal changes over the past few years that led to changes in her business, too. Changes that rattled some people and brought out the worst kind of social media attention. She talks about how she’s stayed firmly in her choices and offers tips for you to do the same. She also gets into why the differences in feminine and masculine power matter now more than ever. It starts with your relationship with yourself.

Menopause: What to Know, What to Ask & What to Do – Mary Claire Haver, M.D. : 1015

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… board-certified OB/GYN and“menopause warrior” [Mary Claire Haver, M.D.] (https://galvestondiet.com) , joins the show togive women a toolkit to manage what comes before, during and after menopause. ---She explains the science of women’s hormones, physiology and brain during the menopausal transition. ---She breaks down the studies, risks, and age timing of Hormone Replacement Therapy. ---She gives you information you can use to both help yourself and ask for help from medical professionals. ---She arms you with actions that work based on what is happening to your biology and brain chemistry during the years leading up to and after menopause. “When I talk about the menopausal toolkit, HRT is just one small part of what I counsel patients about,” Dr. Haver says. “We talk about nutrition, we talk about exercise, we talk about stress reduction, we talk about sleep, we talk about possible other pharmaceuticals. And of course, we talk about supplementation. It's like a tackle box and everything is important.” Although Dr. Haver’s career included taking care of women at all life stages, she didn’t expect to experience the shocks of her own menopause. So, she went looking for answers and took action along the way. She changed the entire focus of her medical practice to menopause. She also channeled the power of social media to provide menopause education and reaches more than 2 million on [her TikTok channel] (https://www.tiktok.com/@drmaryclaire) alone. Her new book, “ [The Galveston Diet: The Doctor-Developed, Patient-Proven Plan to Burn Fat and Tame Your Hormonal Symptoms] (https://www.amazon.com/Galveston-Diet-Doctor-Developed-Patient-Proven-Hormonal/dp/0593578899) ," lays out three specific action areas: intermittent fasting, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and fuel refocus. Menopause is having a moment. (As Lizzo would say, “It’s About Damn Time.”) From investor-backed start-ups in a $6B market to celebrity-led wellness brands to demands for more science—women, and women medical professionals, are changing mid-life menopause dynamics.

How to Stack Cold Water, Sauna and Breathing to Accelerate Your Metabolism – Susanna Soeberg, Ph.D. ...

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…Susanna Soeberg, Ph.D., a Danish researcher, international scientist and expert in cold and heat therapy for health andperformance, explains how you can harness the massive benefits of cold water immersion (winter swimming), sauna, breathing, and your metabolism. When it comes to biohacking, a few things rise to the top and make a pretty big difference in your body and brain. Through her research, Susanna discovered the minimum threshold of cold and heat exposure for health benefits. We get right into that on the show. She also works with functional breathing during cold environmental conditions and cold water immersion, especially winter swimming. Have you been considering this biohack for awhile? Baby steps won’t get you there—prepare to go all-in with the cold. “You could take cold showers, for sure,” Susanna says, “but it's not going to activate your parasympathetic nervous system in the same way as submerging yourself into cold water.” Earning a Ph.D. in metabolism at the University of Copenhagen set her on course to focus her expertise on ways metabolism works for and against you—and what you can do to improve your metabolic profile. She researches obesity, Type 2 diabetes and insulin management, as well as how brown and white adipose tissue (fat) function differently within the human body. In Susanna’s new book, “ [Winter Swimming: The Nordic Way Towards a Healthier and Happier Life] (https://www.amazon.com/Winter-Swimming-Towards-Healthier-Happier/dp/1529417465/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr=) ,” she describes thebenefits of winter swimming and cold water immersion on your physiology, mental health, and capacity for resilience.

How Quantum Energy Raises Your Biohacking to a New Level – Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling : ...

[Leela Quantum Tech] (https://leelaq.com/) sponsored this episode. IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…you’ll learn why energy frequencies have such a powerful influence on human physiology. Skeptics take note: science backs this up. PhilippSamor Von Holtzendorff-Fehling introduced quantum energy on episode [#809] (https://daveasprey.com/leela-quantum-tech-890/) and its benefits on body function, cellular voltage and chakra energy. He returns to the show with exciting new [research] (https://leelaq.com/research/) that further validates the power of this energy and its frequencies on human physiology. “Energy and frequency—that’s where the real truth is.” Philipp says. “And that's where the real life also is.” Leela Quantum Tech createsblocs (Infinity, Quantum, Travel), frequency cards, H.E.A.L. capsules, and other products charged with quantum energy.Theproducts have been through single- and double-blind, randomized studies and tests. This research has measured mental and physical energy, organ function, neutralization of radioactive particles, protection against pesticides and herbicides, and much more. Studies also explored how quantum energy affects ATP production, HRV (heart rate variability) and food allergies. You can feel and measure the effects. And dark field microscopy studies (placebo-controlled and double-blind) performed by [Dr. Beverly Rubik] (https://www.brubik.com/) in the U.S. and the [BESA institute] (https://leelaq.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/BESA-Expert-opinion-to-Project-P72.doc.pdf) in Austria looked at the physical effectiveness of Leela Bloc technology.

How Your Mitochondria Control Your Brain Energy – Chris Palmer, M.D. : 1012

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…Harvard psychiatrist, researcher and assistant professor Christopher Palmer, M.D., introduces a bold new premise about the root cause of mental illness based on decades of research. Dr. Palmer integrated existing theories and research into oneunifyingtheory—the brain energy theory of mental illness that’s rooted in your metabolism. Through his research, he initially pioneered using a medical ketogenic diet to treat psychiatric disorders. In this conversation, you’ll learn how he went even further to uncover the connection between mental health and metabolic disorders of the brain. That connection lies inmitochondrial dysfunction or dysregulation. His new book,“ [Brain Energy: A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Understanding Mental Health and Improving Treatment for Anxiety, Depression, OCD, PTSD, and More] (https://brainenergy.com/) ,” also explains theincreased risk for mental disorders in all metabolic conditions, including diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, pain disorders, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, and epilepsy. “Once you see the big picture of metabolism and all of the things that influence metabolism, you actually can see novel ways to intervene,” Dr. Palmer says. “And you can also raise some red flags about some of our current treatments.” Watch this episode on [YouTube] (http://youtu.be/X5dH3IO25DA ) !

Attention Span: How It’s Getting Lost & How to Get it Back – Gloria Mark, Ph.D. : 1011

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…you’ll meet Gloria Mark, Ph.D., who studies how digital media impacts people's lives. Her research specifically covers how attention is affected by, and has changed, with the rise of the digital age. She’s found that attention span now averages 47 seconds on a screen—and even that’s shrinking. As a Chancellor’s Professor of Informatics at the University of California-Irvine researching human-computer interaction, Gloria examines how people handle multitasking, task-switching, interruptions, and emotions. Her new book “ [Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity] (https://gloriamark.com/) ” looks at human technology use from a psychological perspective. “In the thousands of hours that I have studied people in the course of their daily work, I have heard a common sentiment,” Gloria says in her book. “People report that they are overworked and exhausted because they have to deal with too much information and too many messages.” This conversation gets into the science of attention, the stress it’s causing, plus real solutions for how you can regain focus with your personal technologies. You’ll learn: ---How to recognize the four main types of attention; ---What consequences of constant interruption do to your stress levels and productivity; ---How to achieve focus, rhythm and balance in a day filled with attention-switching; ---How to structure a flow state within your day; and ---What four things you can do to gain agency in the digital world.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…you’ll meet Robert Waldinger, M.D., who leads an extraordinary scientific study on happiness that’s still going strong after eight decades.The study set out to understand human health by what made peoplethrive. Since 1938, the Harvard Study of Adult Development has tracked two groups of men and their families with the goal of discovering what really makes for a good life. Along the way, thousands of questions were asked, and hundreds of measurements were taken—from brain scans to blood work. Three strong themes emerged from the study: ---Social connections arereallygood for you. Loneliness kills. ---It’s thequalityof your close relationships that matters. ---Good close relationships don’t justprotect your body, theyprotect your brain. Dr. Waldinger combined those lifelong case studies with modern psychological research in his new book, co-authored with Marc Schulz, Ph.D., “ [The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness] (https://the-good-life-book.com/) ." This discussion gives you real-life tools to hack your happiness. You’ll learn things like: ---how relationships improve your physical, mental and emotional health. (More than you know!) ---how to evaluate the effect of your relationships on your well-being. (Don’t be dragged down.) ---what social fitness is and how to practice it. (Yes, it’s a flex.) ---ways to enliven and energize your relationships. (Energy totally matters.) ---why casual and work relationships matter more than you think. (A surprisingly big contribution.)
