Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi coined the term flow and published the work, "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience" Defined by Csikszentmihalyi, Flow is: “A state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience is so enjoyable that people will continue to do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it.” What Roles Do Ketosis and Fasting Play in Flow? Siim Land uses a ketogenic diet and different types of fasting to enhance focus. For Siim, he functions better in ketosis. The combination of a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting reduces Siim's decision fatigue and enables him to get more done without being influenced by hunger or excessive food choice.

I’ve been interested in optimal performance for quite some time but I was focusing very much into my tools, the way I use technologies, computers, methods and so on. Basically what’s outside of me and how I interact with that world, how I solve problems. I was optimizing the way I work and how I learn and all that. But doing that I discovered that health is also a key component and taking care of your temple - your body - is super important if you want to really perform, ultimately.

Mr. Arina has held key advisory positions in national, international and EU development projects on topics related to online collaboration, e-learning, professional development, mobile learning and startup companies. The Hackable Variables in Your Work Environment The Biohacker's Handbook chapter on work (in English) is forthcoming. Ahead of the release of this chapter, Teemu shared his thoughts on the key variables in the work environment which are able to be altered for higher performance. The Problems: Limited Movement Lighting Air Quality Water Quality Stress How to Deal with Workplace Environment Problems: Much of this is discussed in more detail in the podcast episode. Many of us do not move enough throughout the day. Have you ever wondered why your Fitbit or Jawbone asks you to get 10,000 steps? From an evolution perspective, our ancestors moved this much. When you are stuck at a desk during the day, how is this possible to achieve? For one, get a standing desk. A standing desk, or adjustable desk, will force you to get up and move throughout the day. In addition, you can schedule meetings over walks, coffee, or even workouts to get more movement in your day. Our offices beam fluorescent lights throughout the day. While some may leave the office before sundown, others still work well into the night, at home, and even before bed. This is not to mention how you are staring at a screen all day long. To prevent long-term eye damage and get the most from your lights, utilize a one/two punch. Place Iris or F.lux on all of your devices. After you outfit the technology, switch your lights to Philips Hue's lights and have them follow the sun. Studies demonstrate the continued presence of nanoparticles in our air. Some of these nanoparticles, as well as mold and other toxins, end up in our brain and lead to sub-optimal performance. Fix this potential issue by outfitting your office and home with HEPA filters. Much of the United States tap water contains chlorine, fluoride, and potentially heavy metals. Reduce your risks through the use of a water filter. Teemu mentions Brita in the episode. Alternatives include Berkey Water Filters and Therasage (the CEO was on the show to speak about EMF here). Stress can lead to illness. However, stress is also beneficial. Remember the last deadline? As it came closer, the deadline drove you to focus. Much of stresses impact on us has to do with our perception of stress. You build stress resiliency through techniques like meditation and breathing.

Recovery What is Teemu's best advice for boosting cognition? Your body is part of a system. Understanding that it operates as a system will lead you to fix your gut microbiome and nutrition before embarking on additional supplements. Once your gut is healed, Teemu recommends balancing blood sugar values. From there, you can look into Lion's Mane or Adaptogenic Herbs. What is the best book Teemu has read on Peak Performance?

What Your Poop Can Tell You About Your Health Annie says: Annie has a question about poop. She's noticed that some foods come out the same way they look going in. Corn, quinoa, nuts, raw carrots and beans are some of the perpetrators. She recently made a big batch of KIN-I-OA, which is similar to Quinoa, and she lost her appetite just looking at it. So she was wondering what it means when she can see pieces of food in her poop? Are they being digested, is she absorbing their nutrients? If not, is it worth even eating them? And is there anything she can do to make them more bioavailable? Like eating nut butters over whole nuts?
