Es gibt wenige Dinge, die Bob Troia, bekannter unter seinem Spitznamen Quantified Bob, nicht an sich testet. Der ehemalige Software-Entwickler hat es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht, so viel wie möglich mit der Hilfe neuester Technologien über sich selbst herauszufinden. Bob Troia und ich kennen uns bereits seit der Quantified Self Conference 2013 in Amsterdam. Schon damals war er bekannt für seine Selbstexperimente und eines der bekanntesten (damals noch vollbärtigen) Gesichter in der Szene. Seitdem hat sich viel getan und ich freue mich sehr, diesen erfahrenen Selbstvermesser endlich in der Flowgrade Show willkommen heissen zu dürfen. Vorab kann ich schon einmal verraten: Es wird wild! In dieser Episode spreche ich mit Bob über seinen Erkenntnisgewinn aus unzähligen Selbstexperimenten, warum er sich nachts manchmal den Mund zuklebt, wie er an seiner Herzratenvariabilität erkennt, ob er krank wird, und warum er das alles überhaupt macht. Besonders für fortgeschrittene Biohacker ein Muss. Viel Spaß mit Quantified Bob! Kurzer Hinweis: Diese Episode der Flowgrade Show ist auf Englisch. Inhaltsabschnitte 02:00 - Wie es zu dem Spitznamen Quantified Bob kam 09:50 - Das Voranschreiten in der eigenen Selbstvermessung 12:30 - Welche Einsichten am wertvollsten waren 20:30 - Was dir deine Herzratenvariabilität (HRV) am Morgen über dich verrät 27:30 - Nachts den Mund zukleben und andere Schlafhacks 36:00 - Wie du herausfindest, ob dein Hirn gesund ist 41:30 - Was in Zukunft spannend zu messen sein wird 52:30 - Bobs Ziele und Biohacks im Bereich Langlebigkeit 01:03:00 - Welche Tests jeder Hörer regelmäßig machen sollte 01:14:30 - Wie ein perfekter Tag im Leben des Bob Troia aussieht Zitate aus der Episode 03:40 - Ich messe eigentlich schon Sachen seitdem ich ein Teenager war. 06:25 - Viele Biohacker sind keine Selbstvermesser. 10:20 - Ich finde es gut, wenn ich passiv einfach Daten sammeln kann, denn das bereitet mir keinen zusätzlichen Aufwand. Dann kann ich mir die Daten ein Jahr später anschauen und Erkenntnisse daraus gewinnen. 15:00 - Meine besten Einsichten hatte ich durch einen kontinuierlichen Glukose-Monitor. Damit habe ich entdeckt, dass nachts hin und wieder mein Glukoselevel sehr niedrig war und ich Schlafunterbrechungen hatte. 16:50 - Du kannst durch deine Herzratenvariabilität (HRV) ein paar Tage im Voraus sehen, ob du krank wirst. 20:30 - HRV im Profisport erlaubt es uns, ein individualisiertes Trainingsprogramm für jeden Sportler zu erstellen. 24:00 - Bei der HRV geht es mehr um den Trend als den Wert selbst. 30:00 - "Mouth Taping" ist ein sehr einfacher und billiger Biohack für mich, um meinen Schlaf zu verbessern. 31:00 - Die größter Herausforderung bei der Schlafmessung ist, dass sie sehr individuell zu betrachten ist. 32:00 - Die wichtigsten Variablen im Schlafzimmer sind Luftqualität, Temperatur, Lautstärke und elektromagnetische Felder. 38:00 - Brain Gauge hilft mir zu entdecken, welche Dinge und Aktivitäten die Gesundheit meines Gehirns negativ beeinflussen. 40:30 - Ich hab mehr REM-Schlaf mit 1 bis 2 alkoholischen Getränken am Abend. Sobald es aber mehr wird, geht die HRV und alles andere runter. 53:00 - Eine wichtige Frage ist: Wie schaffe ich es, solange wie möglich fit im Alter zu sein, damit ich ein schönes Leben habe? 59:00 - Es gibt die verschiedensten Methoden, um sein biologisches Alter zu messen und alle geben dir andere Zahlen. 1:04:00 - Einer der wichtigsten Tests für mich ist der Schwermetall-Test. 1:06:30 - Mikrobiom-Tests liefern manchmal auch sehr wichtige Einsichten zur Ernährungsform. Außerdem würde ich mein Omega 3 zu Omega 6 Verhältnis im Blut testen lassen.

“Your body is a network, when that network is disturbed it might not be able to tell exactly which node in the network is gonna go first. But I can definitely tell you that you’re at risk of breaking your network much more than somebody who is letting it line up nicely.” Right before presenting on sleep genetics at the 2017 Quantified Self Conference in Amsterdam, I met Dr. Benjamin Smarr. We exchanged words and Dr. Smarr mentioned he studied sleep at the University of California at Berkeley. It was a bit nerve wracking to have a circadian biologist in the front row. Dr. Benjamin Smarr studies the temporal structures that biological systems make as they move through time. An NIH research fellow at UC Berkeley, his work focuses on understanding how physiological dynamics like sleep, circadian rhythms, and ovulatory cycles are shaped by the brain, and how disturbances to those cycles give rise to disease. Dr. Smarr is also an advocate for scientific outreach, and routinely gives public lectures and visits K-12 classrooms to help promote the idea that by understanding the biology that guides us, we can live more empowered lives. Key Highlights:How to answer the question "what is sleep?"Rethinking sleep as an investment, rather than a waste of timeWhy circadian rhythms are important?The danger of letting your body fall out of rhythmHow sleep deprivation ties into our circadian rhythmsThe reasons why jet lag is so painfulHow genetics plays a role in your chronotypeDr. Smarr’s top recommendations for improving your sleep (hint: stop reading/watching the news so late)If you enjoyed this podcast, can you do us a favor?

For decades we’ve heard that diabetes prevention is simple—lose weight, eat less, and exercise more. But something is wrong with the conventional wisdom. Nearly 115 million people live with either diabetes or prediabetes in the United States, and that number is growing. It is time to reverse this trend. Virta was founded in 2014 with the goal of reversing diabetes in 100 million people by 2025. They have made this possible through advancements in the science of nutritional biochemistry and technology that is changing the diabetes care model. James McCarter, MD, PhD, is Head of Research at Virta, and in this interview, Dr McCarter explains how Virta is using a combination of a very low carb, ketogenic diet together with 1-on-1 health coaches and some sophisticated machine learning techniques to predict sentiment in natural language and spot anomalies in blood biomarkers. After the recording was made, Dr McCarter realised that he was off by about a decade on Joslin. Rather than 1920s, Dr. Elliott Joslin actually began keeping a diabetes registry early in the 20th century and published The Treatment of Diabetes Mellitus in 1917. “Joslin carried out extensive metabolic balance studies examining fasting and feeding in patients with varying severities of diabetes. His findings would help to validate the observations of Frederick Madison Allen regarding the benefit of carbohydrate- and calorie-restricted diets.” Here’s the outline of this interview with James McCarter, MD, PhD: [00:01:00] Divergence, Inc.

I attended QS15, the Quantified Self Conference and Expo this weekend and since it's still a prominent portion of my thoughts, I tried to capture some of what I felt after those three days in a brief summary.
