Your cells are starving. Not for food—but for oxygen. In this episode of The Human Upgrade, Dave Asprey sits down with Dr. Jason Sonners, world-renowned hyperbaric expert and regenerative medicine pioneer, to reveal how controlled oxygen under pressure is becoming one of the most powerful tools in anti-aging and performance science. You'll learn how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) triggers stem cell activation, rewires your epigenome, boosts mitochondrial energy, and reverses biological aging—if you use it the right way. Jason shares breakthrough findings from his latest PhD research comparing low- and high-pressure chambers, with surprising results on inflammation, telomeres, cognitive performance, and recovery speed. This is next-gen longevity—measurable, stackable, and customizable. From sleep upgrades and HRV boosts to stacking HBOT with fasting, methylene blue, or red light, this episode dives into what it takes to oxygenate your biology at the deepest level. You'll Learn: • How hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) triggers stem cell regeneration and cellular repair • Why mild-pressure chambers may be more powerful than you think• What HBOT does to inflammation, brain fog, and biological aging markers • How to stack HBOT with fasting, red light, and methylene blue for amplified results • What Dr. Sonners' PhD research reveals about oxygen pressure and genetic expression • The truth about oxygen toxicity—and how to avoid the common mistakes • How elite performers use HBOT for brain optimization, recovery, and resilience ** Get 30% of yourr tickets to the Biohacking conference by going to https://biohackingconference.com/2025 and use code ‘OXYHEALTH' ** Thank you to our sponsors! -Our Place | Head to https://fromourplace.com/ and use the code DAVE for 10% off your order. -Timeline | Head to https://www.timeline.com/dave to get 10% off your first order.

Send us a textEpisode Summary: Dr. Gyorgy Buzsaki discusses the hippocampus's role beyond memory and spatial navigation, delving into its broader functions in cognition, action planning, and brain-body interactions; how hippocampal rhythms, like sharp wave ripples, influence memory consolidation, glucose regulation, and metabolic health, challenging conventional neuroscience assumptions; the interplay of brain rhythms, sleep, and preconfigured neural dynamics; the history and conceptual foundations of neuroscience; and more.About the guest: Gyorgy Buzsaki, MD, PhD is a professor at NYU. He leads a lab investigating how neural circuits underpin cognition, particularly through oscillations and brain-body interactions. His work has significantly advanced understanding of memory formation and spatial navigation.Note: Podcast episodes are fully available to paid subscribers on the M&M Substack and everyone on YouTube. Partial versions are available elsewhere. Transcript and other information on Substack.Key Conversation Points:Hippocampus isn't just for memory or navigation; it may orchestrate action planning and abstract representations of the world, shaped by evolutionary constraints.Brain rhythms, like sharp wave ripples, synchronize neural activity, enabling efficient communication and impacting bodily functions like glucose homeostasis.Sharp wave ripples, prominent during non-REM sleep and consummatory states, are critical for memory consolidation and may link sleep disruptions to metabolic disorders.Buzsaki challenges the idea of memory as fixed synaptic patterns, proposing it's more like dynamic, cloud-like sequences, endlessly reconfigurable.The brain's intrinsic dynamics prioritize action generation and learning from consequences over external representations.Related episode:M&M 16: Sleep, Dreams, Memory & the Brain | Bob Stickgold*Not medical advice.Support the showAll episodes, show notes, transcripts, and more at the M&M Substack Affiliates: KetoCitra—Ketone body BHB + potassium, calcium & magnesium, formulated with kidney health in mind.

In today's episode, Cormac, Cole and Lucia catch you up with all things Citizen Science. In the epoch of ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini (no, not the telescope), it's easy to forget about the 20 Watt computer you're using to read this sentence. Yes, even YOU can contribute to cutting-edge astronomical research, as we present two examples of cosmic crowdfunding in action. Cole convinces us that nearby galaxies need some Clump Scouts, and Lucia shows us how volunteers have been the (tur)key to finding a new star-studded dwarf galaxy. We also discuss the non-research benefits of democratising science, and in a fourth-wall-shattering pivot, we ask you, yes YOU, what you'd like to hear more of on a[s]b. astrosoundbites@gmail.com Astrobites: https://astrobites.org/2024/07/29/galaxy-zoo-clump-scout/ https://astrobites.org/2023/11/18/a-lonely-little-galaxy-at-the-edge-of-our-neighborhood/ Space Sound: Adapted from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6vbST9iMOU XKCD Comic: https://xkcd.com/1425/ Article about the (not so?) amateur astronomer: https://astro.arizona.edu/news/tucson-doctor-wins-national-award-his-second-act-amateur-astronomer

A system that grows stronger from chaos? That's not science fiction. It's nature's original design. Nassim Taleb's Antifragile isn't just a book. It's a lens—a way to see the world not as a series of risks to be avoided, but as opportunities to evolve. In this episode, we explore what it means to thrive in disorder. From ancient myths like the Hydra, to modern jobs and biological systems, we trace the pattern: fragility is punished, antifragility is rewarded. What if you built a life where setbacks made you better, not bitter? Where unpredictability wasn't a threat, but a catalyst? That's the shift we're inviting you to make. Takeaways: Design your systems to gain from shocks, not just resist them. Embrace small failures—they prevent catastrophic ones. Seek environments where your upside grows with uncertainty. WORKSHOP - Building certainty in an uncertain world

Which side is your good side? You know, the side of your face you point toward the camera when someone takes your picture. We all have a good side. And I bet I know which one yours is. https://newsfeed.time.com/2012/04/24/which-side-is-your-good-side-here-comes-the-science/ You are exposed to a lot of music every day. Sometimes it is music you seek out and want to listen to as well as music that plays in the background – in stores, in elevators, in a doctor's office. All that music affects your brain in interesting ways. Here to explain how is Sara Leila Sherman. She is a musician and educator, who studied and pioneered innovation in music as a tool for learning and personal growth. She is coauthor of the book Resonant Minds: The Transformative Power of Music, One Note at a Time (https://amzn.to/4jDM6Aq). Many prescription drugs do amazing things to help people. Still, there are frequent stories of drugs that go wrong. They either don't work or they turn out to cause harm or even death. Isn't the FDA supposed to make sure that doesn't happen? How do bad drugs get approved? Is the process broken? Here to offer some great insight into this is Jerry Avorn, MD. Who is also a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School. He created a leading research center at Harvard to study medication use, outcomes, costs, and policies and has written hundreds of papers that have appeared in medical literature as well as opinion pieces in The New York Times and The Washington Post. He is author of the book Rethinking Medications: Truth, Power, and the Drugs You Take (https://amzn.to/4lRlT2E) Many people look back fondly on the good old days. Were they really that good? For some, the past seems so much better than the present, and they love to reminisce fondly about a better and simpler time. Listen as I explain why the past looks so wonderful to many of us and just how good it really was. https://www.elephantjournal.com/2014/08/why-we-long-for-the-good-old-days-why-they-never-really-existed-marianne-stenger/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

Susie is sharing a tragic tale of why her dancing at the gay wedding was cut short. They also had a peek at each other's sacral dimples and will update you about their size, scope, and scale. Is bigger better? Find out. Susie watched a documentary about songwriting and they discuss the mystery and wonder of the "flow state," what we think causes inspiration, and why it's so curious. We learn about an unhoused person who won the California lottery, and while we're happy for him, Susie is a little judge-y and she has some tough news for him about the price of life these days. We think he might be being a little optimistic about how far that money can go. We discuss a new "sport" where men are, wait for it, racing their sperm. Sigh. Scientists are very excited about narwals playing with their food, but we can't quite figure out why. Susie watched a documentary about tornados, and wants to remind people to stay safe out there. Plus, we reminisce about the lunacy of Balloon Boy, who for one hilarious day was the star of the internet.Listen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comConnect with us on social media:BCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:For 20% off your order, head to https://www.harvesthosts.com and use code BRAINCANDYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Happy Throwback Thursday, Heal Squad! In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, and our recent episodes with Hannah Brown. We're bringing back one of the many conversations we've had with brain health pioneer and psychiatrist, Dr. Daniel Amen. Dr. Amen challenges everything we think we know about mental illness. He shares why we should stop calling it “mental” illness and start seeing it for what it really is: brain illness. From trauma and inflammation to diet and automatic negative thoughts (aka ANTs), Dr. Amen reveals the true root causes behind anxiety, depression, and emotional suffering—and what we can do to heal. You'll learn practical tools to improve your mood, increase focus, and finally feel like yourself again. Whether you're deep in your healing journey or just getting started, this episode is a powerful reminder that your brain health is your superpower. Let's shine a light on healing this month, and always.
