Dr. Henry Mahncke and Dr. Gitendra Uswatte share groundbreaking research on using brain plasticity principles to treat Long Covid brain fog through a comprehensive approach combining cognitive processing speed training, real-world skill practice, and personalized cognitive rehabilitation strategies.• Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to change its structure and function through learning and experience• Brain HQ training targets cognitive processing speed to improve overall brain function across multiple domains• Long Covid causes real biological changes to the brain, including vascular damage and inflammation• CI Cognitive Therapy combines three components: brain training, everyday task practice, and transfer techniques• 80% of participants in the small initial study returned to work compared to none in the usual care group• Brain health bridges physical and mental health, challenging the "it's all in your head" dismissal• The intervention works by repurposing and growing healthy brain tissue rather than healing damaged tissue• Approaches vary from "bottom-up" (basic processing) to "top-down" (real-world skills) to meaningful goal setting• Brain HQ is currently available worldwide, with ongoing research to develop telehealth versions of the full interventionThe University of Alabama Birmingham is currently enrolling participants for their Long Covid cognitive rehabilitation study.

What is Herbal Ecstasy—and why does it matter? This might be one of the most insane episodes we've ever recorded, and we had to bring it back because the story is too wild, too relevant, and too packed with real lessons in biohacking, brain optimization, and supplement hacking to miss. Host Dave Asprey sits down with Shaahin Cheyene, the renegade teenage entrepreneur who built a billion-dollar supplement empire before he could legally drink. As the creator of Herbal Ecstasy, Shaahin hacked natural compounds into high-performance nootropics that boosted energy, neuroplasticity, and metabolism—long before biohacking was a movement. He faced seven federal investigations, never spent a day in jail, and went on to pioneer the vaporizer industry and dominate Amazon with advanced supplement marketing. This episode explores how Shaahin reverse-engineered functional medicine principles, used ancient plant medicine to upgrade human performance, and scaled a controversial brand using raw hustle and hacking tactics. You'll hear how Herbal Ecstasy worked, why it was banned, and what it teaches us about supplements, mitochondrial function, dopamine regulation, and the dark politics behind wellness innovation. You'll learn: • Why Herbal Ecstasy became a billion-dollar underground supplement • How Shaahin used nootropics and adaptogens to hack energy, focus, and neuroplasticity • What his clash with the FDA reveals about supplement regulation and functional medicine • How dopamine, mitochondria, and metabolism drive human performance • The difference between hacking systems vs conforming to broken ones • How storytelling, podcasting, and controversial supplements build legacy brands Whether you're optimizing your sleep, hacking your brain, experimenting with ketosis or fasting, or upgrading your stack with supplements that actually work—this channel delivers strategies, cautionary tales, and insight you won't find anywhere else. lt is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, brain optimization, supplements, mitochondria, metabolism, functional medicine, nootropics, longevity, dopamine, cold therapy, sleep optimization, emotional regulation, neuroplasticity, fasting, podcasting, RFK-era health freedom, ketosis, entrepreneurship, and building influence smarter not harder—with or without Danger Coffee. Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind.

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 7-17-2025: Dr. Dawn interviews Dr. Drew Richard, a first-year resident at Dominican Santa Cruz Family Medicine Residency. Dr. Richard discusses his motivation to bridge socioeconomic health disparities and his experience creating educational cooking episodes featuring cultural dishes from medical students. He explains his philosophy that medicine should help people cultivate compassion and his belief in the fundamental capacity for human goodness. The conversation explores the evolution of medical training and communication skills. Dr. Dawn contrasts today's team-based collaborative approach with the hierarchical, authoritarian medical culture of the past. They discuss how modern medicine emphasizes interprofessional collaboration, with Dr. Richard noting improved learning environments where faculty are more forgiving of mistakes while maintaining high standards for patient safety. A caller asks about functional medicine's approach to intangible factors like intention, purpose, attitude, energy, and alternative therapies like sound healing. Dr. Dawn explains the functional medicine matrix that places mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects at its center, discussing how these factors influence disease response and treatment outcomes. She describes the body's electrical field and energy medicine principles from her acupuncture practice. Dr. Richard addresses the caller's question about sound healing, suggesting that practitioners frame these concepts in familiar terms rather than using unfamiliar terminology. He recommends starting conversations about therapeutic music by asking patients about their favorite songs rather than immediately introducing concepts like sound baths, making these healing modalities more accessible and less intimidating. The discussion shifts to music's neurological benefits, with Dr. Dawn citing research showing that singing and music-making promote brain health and neuroplasticity. Studies demonstrate that piano practice increases gray matter, improves cognitive flexibility, and enhances auditory working memory in older adults. They explore how music engagement, whether through listening or active participation, releases dopamine and provides emotional regulation benefits. Dr. Richard shares his personal musical background as a drummer and discusses the bonding effects of group music-making. Dr. Dawn describes her experiences with choral singing and four-part harmony, explaining how shared musical vibrations create feelings of communion and connection. They explore how music affects the body's vibrations and blood flow, touching on everything from opera to movie soundtracks. The conversation turns to Dr. Richard's surfing experiences as part of his residency cohort's wellness activities. He describes overcoming ocean fears and discovering unexpected joy in the sport, noting how the entire residency class has embraced surfing as both exercise and bonding experience. Dr. Dawn mentions the conductor paradox - how orchestra conductors live longer than expected despite their lifestyle habits, attributing this to the cardiovascular benefits of continuous arm movement. In a concluding segment. Dr. Dawn presents research from the University of Pittsburgh showing how exercise protects against cancer through microbiome effects.

Spoiler: it's not a job title, a single grand calling, or something you're behind on. Purpose is about becoming more of who you already are, and that starts with self-acceptance.

Whether it's walking your dog, creating art, or starting that business you've been dreaming about—your purpose is found in what lights you up and connects you back to yourself. If you've ever felt unsure about your direction, or worried you're missing your “big calling,” this episode is a chance to reset that narrative.

Till Holzafpel is an engineer, programmer, consciousness researcher, and hardware psychonaut who designs virtual reality systems that can evoke the transcendent components of psychedelics… without requiring the consumption any substances. Much of his work is based on fact that there appears to be a massive component of psychedelic experiences that comes from sensory feedback, like sounds, patterns in the visual field, and the tactile components of the environment. Even something as simple as a flashing light can induce mystical experiences in a significant fraction of the population, and plenty of research suggests that there's a visual component to the healing properties of nature. As Till works on fitting those discoveries into an entirely new class of VR programs, we sat down for a conversation about how our sensory systems can be treated and tweaked to induce altered states of consciousness, the value of making this kind of experience widely accessible, and the shortcomings of a purely biochemical approach to understanding the impact of psychedelics on the human psyche. The video also includes a demo of Brain Candy, his augmented reality program for exploring consciousness through audio-visual patterns (https://braincandyapp.com/).

What if not knowing is exactly where transformation begins?In this episode, the invitation is clear: step into uncertainty, not as something to fix or avoid, but as a powerful teacher. The conversation explores the contrast between certainty and uncertainty, control and trust, showing how our desire for clarity often blocks us from growth, creativity, and new possibilities.By letting go of needing to control every outcome, we allow space for inner wisdom, surrender, and even joy in the unknown. You'll explore how breath (especially the pause between inhale and exhale) can train your nervous system to sit with discomfort. From neuroscience to yogic teachings like Ishvara Pranidhana, this episode reminds us that the unknown is not empty—it's fertile ground for growth.Through reflection questions, breath practices, and insights on decision-making, you'll leave feeling more grounded, present, and open to possibility—even without all the answers.A calming, poetic reminder that uncertainty isn't a weakness—it's where real life begins.—-------—-------—-Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:02:06 Certainty vs. Uncertainty00:06:03 Possibility and the Unknown00:08:07 Voice of Certainty vs. Voice of Trust00:10:00 Breath Awareness & Kumbhaka00:13:06 Brain's Fear of the Unknown00:15:40 Neuroplasticity & Growth00:18:01 Control vs. Trust00:22:32 Letting Go Increases Oxytocin00:25:03 Decision-Making from Calm vs. Fear00:26:00 Integration Meditation00:28:10 Final Reflections—-------—-------—-Ishvara Pranidhana (Yogic Niyama – surrender)Kumbhaka (breath retention)Concept of neuroplasticityMichael Henri's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/michaelyoga.pt/ Going Pro Yoga's Instagram: https://www.instagram/com/goingproyoga/—-------—-------—-Tags: uncertainty, letting go, emotional growth, yoga philosophy, breathwork, trust, personal development, self-awareness, nervous system, Ishvara Pranidhana, mindfulness, control, decision making, surrender, neuroplasticity

In this week's episode of Reflect Forward, I sit down with Aileda Lindal, a brilliant consultant and expert in the convergence of technology and humanity, to explore how leaders can rewire their brains, shift their relationship with stress, and lead with calm, clarity, and conscious presence. Aileda's story of building and leading medical operations during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic is powerful. While the world shut down, her world sped up, and what got her through was presence, self-regulation, and a commitment to leading from the eye of the storm. Mic Drop Moment: “If you're not balanced, you're not calling your best shots; you're calling some potentially really bad ones. And those ripple out.” We talk about: • The science of resilience and how to regulate under pressure • What it means to operate from the “eye of the storm” • The power of mantras like cool, calm, and collected to ground your leadership • Why self-awareness isn't optional—it's a leadership non-negotiable • How I quit drinking and rewired my habits by making one decision and repeating it consistently This conversation is deeply personal and wildly practical. Whether you're leading a company, a team, or yourself, this episode will help you shift from reaction to conscious response. Key Takeaways: 1. Stress is a choice. Reframe it as a challenge or opportunity. 2. Presence builds resilience. The more aware you are, the more empowered your actions become. 3. You can reprogram your brain. Neuroplasticity proves that new habits do stick with consistency. 4. Your energy matters. As a leader, how you show up affects everyone around you.

In this episode I explain how your vagus nerve—an extensive neural pathway linking your brain and body in both directions—powerfully regulates your mood, digestion, alertness and even certain food cravings, and I explain how you can activate certain vagus nerve pathways to improve your heart rate variability (HRV), a key marker of health and longevity. I also explain how to control vagal pathways to enhance your focus and alertness to improve learning and neuroplasticity. And I explain how your vagus nerve controls levels of serotonin in both your gut and brain, impacting your mood and emotional resilience and how to keep that pathway robust.
