Today Dr. Andrew Hill from Peak Brain LA joined us to talk about all aspects of brain health. He deals with all manner of neurological dysfunctions in some very unique ways. Here are some of the brain issues he deals with, focus, attention, creativity, traumatic stress, mood, sleep, migraines, hyperactivity, rumination, impulsivity, perseveration, seizures, alcohol recovery, test preparation, concussions, and traumatic brain injuries. Here are some of the unique tools and protocols he uses to reverse some of these issues Quantitative EEG "brain mapping" assessments, neurofeedback training, heart rate variability biofeedback, and mindfulness meditation. In today's talk with Dr. Andrew Hill we discussed addiction and how to deal with addiction. Is it possible to completely reverse somebody's addictive behaviors? Dr. Hill says yes. We also discussed the impact of sports and concussions. Did you know there have been studies where high school football players are already showing signs of traumatic brain injuries? It's pretty scary. We also discussed the role of games, websites like Luminocity and playing games like chess and bingo can help the brain. Dr. Hill says that these games don't necessarily help which was quite interesting. If you are having any kind of brain issues, Peak Brain LA is the place to visit. Thanks for listening.

In the late 1970s, Wes Craven was a struggling filmmaker who created his first horror movie which is now the classic The Last House on the Left.  He did want to branch out, but could only find financing for horror films.  He soon realized that he was really, really good at scaring people, and soon became the best known horror filmmaker of all time.  Forty years ago, he produced another film on a very tight budget…The Hills Have Eyes.  Even in todays standards, this movie is brutal.  It starts with Bob Carter, his wife Ethel, and five other family members driving in their camper vans going towards San Diego.  An accident occurs, and the group gets stranded in the desert.  Two of the men decide to go for help, and the rest of the group decides to stay put and wait.  What they do not know is that where they are stranded is where nuclear testing occurred decades earlier, and it mutated a group of people who now have developed the taste for human flesh.  The scary thing is, that this movie is based on a true story.A little heads up here…since we are talking cannibalism - listener discretion is advised. Welcome to Episode 27…The Hills Have Eyes - The True Story of Sawney Bean Horrifying History would like to thank TruBrain for sponsoring this episode.  Boost your mental performance and be the best you can be by going to www.trubrain.com and use promo code HISTORY to get 20% off your first variety pack at check out.

Kendrick Johnson was a popular, high school athlete that the girls swooned over and the guys were envious of. In 2013, his body was discovered in the high school’s gym. He was suspiciously rolled up in a wrestling gym mat, he was upside down and the mat was propped up vertically. Automatically, it was ruled a freak accident. All of the authorities wanted the family and the media to believe that Kendrick had thrown his shoes inside of the mat and he fell in trying to retrieve them. When you closely look at all of the evidence, it doesn’t seem, at all, like an accident.This episode is sponsored by TruBrain and True Crime Indie Drop-In.TruBrain.com/discount/paigehttps://indiedropin.com/upload-directory/Sources for this episode:https://www.revolt.tv/platform/amp/2020/7/3/21312854/court-dismisses-kendrick-johnson-casehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_of_Kendrick_Johnson#Initial_investigationhttps://www.justice.gov/usao-mdga/pr/justice-department-closes-investigation-death-kendrick-johnsonhttps://allthatsinteresting.com/kendrick-johnsonhttps://time.com/4375569/kendrick-johnson-gym-mat-death-no-charges/?amp=truehttps://www.imediaethics.org/sons-werent-near-dead-teen-kendrick-johnson-parents-sue-ebony-mag/amp/CNN on YouTube

We are living in a very special time where every day there are amazing new technologies that can improve life like cryotherapy chambers, light therapies, and neurofeedback. We're going to talk about neurofeedback with Dr. Andrew Hill who is one of the top peak performance coaches in the country. He holds a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from UCLA’s Department of Psychology and continues to do research on attention and cognition. In addition to founding Peak Brain Institute, Dr. Hill is the host of the Head First podcast. He is a lead neuroscientist at TruBrain and the lecturer at UCLA, teaching courses on psychology and neuroscience. Dr. Hill teaches on how to improve your brain using neurofeedback.

Neurofeedback http://learntruehealth.com/neurofeedback/ Neurofeedback: Unlocking The Brain The brain is such a powerful tool yet there are secrets to its power that we have yet to unlock. Hence, my guest, Dr. Andrew Hill is here to teach us how to make our brain function optimally. He will also explain what neurofeedback is all about. How It All Began Dr. Andrew Hill has been involved in clinical work for more than two decades. In college, he worked in a residential facility for developmentally disabled adults. Because these people were primarily non-verbal, Dr. Andrew Hill had to learn different techniques on how to understand them. “The verbal challenge in these individuals was so profound. I had to communicate with people in a very different way,” recalls Dr. Andrew Hill. Incidentally, the state of California and Massachusetts tend to lead the way in progressive health care reform in the United States. This piqued Dr. Andrew Hill’s interest to work with different populations. Dr. Andrew Hill was working in in-patient psychology when he first heard about neurofeedback. He eventually went on to graduate school to learn more about neurofeedback. What is Neurofeedback? According to Dr. Andrew Hill, neurofeedback is a form of Biofeedback in the brain. It was invented about 50 years ago. Neurofeedback was developed through the work of Dr. Joe Kamiya at the University of Chicago in the 1950s. It was eventually followed by Dr. Barry Sterman’s work at UCLA in the 1960s. Primarily, neurofeedback trains the brain to efficiently function. It is also known as EEG Biofeedback based on the EEG or electroencephalogram. The EEG is a test to monitor the electrical activity of the brain. Neurofeedback Through the Years During the 70s, neurofeedback was seen as a formed of spiritual development. It became known as a meditation or spiritual tool. There were conflicts in religious beliefs and limited medical findings at the time. Hence, people were skeptical about neurofeedback. However, because of constant research through the years that followed, neurofeedback was eventually used to treat patients with ADHD, psychological, and central nervous system disorders. It can also be used for treating stress and other emotional conditions. Dr. Andrew Hill, in fact, worked at the Neurodevelopment Center in Providence Island years ago, before opening his practice. The center specialized in addressing autistic spectrum disorders. “I witnessed autism symptoms getting reduced. Traits like obsessions, anxiety, over-arousal of things, eye contact, sense of humor and language significantly improved,” Dr. Andrew Hill said. He also said that the limits on real neurofeedback research are therapy. This is because you can’t patent it. Furthermore, it’s hard to get funding for large studies. According to Dr. Andrew Hill, the reason studies need to be large is because each person needs 30 to 50 sessions each. In addition to that, each treatment is tailor-made to the client. Techniques of Neurofeedback Mental Health professionals perform neurofeedback by placing a lot of wires called electrodes to the scalp. This allows them the ability to monitor brainwave activity through a special computer software. Though the software has some limitations, it aids a person into changing brain activity to a recommended level. Consequently, the brain is being molded into operating on a more regulated performance. Peak Brain Institute Dr. Andrew Hill’s Peak Brain Institute offers QEEG brain mapping, wherein every treatment is tailor-made for the client. The length of the program varies, and a qualified Peak Brain neuroscience team ensures follow-up sessions after your program is done. Clients are likewise taught how to monitor their brain activity on their own. But there are a lot of EEG headsets that are unreliable. Hence, Dr. Andrew Hill said it is best to get some assistance with a qualified neuroscience team. “I don’t think the most elaborate neurofeedback approaches are better. It can be misleading and they don’t do the work,” said Dr. Andrew Hill. “Our offices helps patients for first three months. And then we adjust protocols.” Role of Diet and Nutrition Dr. Andrew Hill says people with conditions like ADHD improve within 4 to 5 months of training. However, aside from the treatment, diet, and nutrition plays a significant role in making sure our brain is healthy. “The right diet significantly improves your brain’s health. Consequently, one should minimize sugar and maximize healthy fats,” advises Dr. Andrew Hill. The Best Intervention Many ask if neurofeedback is a cure. It is not. However, there have been numerous success stories attesting to the fact that neurofeedback significantly improved their health condition. In this regard, Dr. Andrew Hill likewise highly recommends people to learn the power of meditation. According to him, meditation is the process of anchoring or learning to stabilize your condition effortlessly. Dr. Andrew Hill believes that people can get good at meditation over time. Ideally, meditating at least 20 minutes for 10 to 15 days in a row can produce significant results. “Adhere to the process of evaluating what’s going on. Be curious, not judgemental,” said Dr. Andrew Hill. “Especially in meditation, you become flexible. Being healthy is not something you do in the gym. It’s what you do in your life.” Dr. Andre Hill is one of the top peak performance coaches in the country. He holds a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience from UCLA’s Department of Psychology and continues to do research on attention and cognition. Research methodology includes EEG, QEEG, and ERP. He has been practicing neurofeedback since 2003. In addition to founding Peak Brain Institute, Dr. Andrew Hill is host of the Head First Podcast with Dr. Hill. He is also the Lead Neuroscientist at truBrain, and lectures at UCLA, teaching courses in psychology, neuroscience, and gerontology.

I've long been super suspicious about smart drugs, so I'm going to take some convincing. Is my guest on this podcast the man to prove it? Because today on the Zestology podcast, I interview a guy who's made it his mission to get us into 'peak brain state' more often.  Covered on this episode of Zestology Are 'smart drugs' safe? Is there a drug that can make us smarter? How do we get into peak brain state more often? What legal supplements and stacks could we take to improve our brain function? Dr. Andrew Hill runs the Peak Brain Institute, and also leads the team of TruBrain neuroscientists that have put together some interesting and groundbreaking supplement products. They say they have helped CEOs, hedge fund managers, and artists achieve new levels of performance by using advanced neurotech devices to measure their brainwaves data when they were deep in thought, managing stress, juggling distractions, and thinking on their feet. This podcast is brought to you by Bulletproof Coffee and supplements. This month I've been going big on their Collagen protein, it's all about the Collagen for the froth in coffee, and also matcha tea too... works a treat, and gives you a flavourless shot of seriously good protein too.

Dr. Andrew Hill is one of the top peak performance coaches in the country. He holds a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from UCLA's department of Psychology and continues to do research on attention and cognitive performance. Dr. Hill is the founder of Peak Brain Institute, host of the Head First Podcast with Dr. Hill, Lead Neuroscientist at truBrain, and lectures at UCLA, teaching courses in psychology, neuroscience, and gerontology. I went in to the Peak Brain Institute of Los Angeles to meet with Dr. Andrew Hill having literally no idea what I was getting myself into. I had agreed, in advance, to get what they call a Quantitative EEG “brain mapping” assessment, and then have Dr. Hill go over the results with me live on the podcast. Easy… and fun. I was about to learn about how awesome my brain function was… or so I thought. For the test, they put a web of electrodes over my skull and watched my brain waves for about 20 minutes, after which they made me go through a nauseatingly boring number sequencing test. The only hard part of either was keeping myself from drifting off to sleep. Simple, right? Super fun. Piece of cake. Until hearing the results - live on the podcast. Turns out, I’ve got some brain issues. See that picture below? The one where the map of my brain looks bright red? Those are my Theta waves… and the bright red color indicates I’m 3 or more standard deviations away from normal (which is a lot in statistical talk). YIKES! For the full rundown of what this all means you’ll have to listen in on the podcast. But don’t fear, it’s not all bad. The point of the testing is not just to find out what’s wrong, but to actually do something about it. Dr. Hill said that with regular training, conditions like mine that can affect my sleep, attention span and ability to focus are fully correctable. I’ll be doing at least a month’s worth of brain training to find out just how much of a difference it makes - so look for the follow-up episode! Enjoy!

truBrain (Part 2) Last week’s post introduced Dr Andrew Hill - the founding director and lead neurotherapist at Peak Brain Institute. In part 1 we talked about alternate treatments for substance abuse; using PIR HEG for migraine pain & how everyone should get educated about their brain. In part 2 of this interview we talk all about truBrain. truBrain is a nootropic that Dr Hill is the lead neuroscientist on. You can read all about truBrain - its ingredients and benefits here.

Migraine, brain education (Part 1) This week’s interview is with Dr Andrew Hill, the founding director and lead neurotherapist at Peak Brain Institute, specialising in evidence-based brain training; Dr Hill is also the lead neuroscientist at truBrain, a nootropic designed for optimal cognitive performance; he holds a PhD in cognitive neuroscience from UCLA’s department of psychology and continues to do research on attention and cognitive performance and his research methodologies include EEG, QEEG, and ERP…yes, he’s a bit smart! :) If you have ever wanted to know how to hack your mind with alternate therapies such as PIR HEG for migraine pain and want to know a little more about nootropics, then this interview is for you! I first got in contact with Dr Hill when I was taking truBrain and I had a few questions about it. We started emailing back & forth & he mentioned migraines, which as you know, being a migraine sufferer, I was very interested in.  He then agreed to come on to my podcast for a chat about all of these things. I did this interview with Dr Hill prior to my trip to LA & then was fortunate enough to catch up with him when I was there last year for Dave Asprey’s 2015 Bulletproof conference made a special little visit to his new clinic – the Peak Brain Institute.  I was lucky enough to get hooked up with the latest technology (see below). A wireless neurofeedback machine & it read my brain waves…ummmm…not so good!!  A lot to work on & improve there – but that’s another post! Ha ha In Part 1 of this interview, Dr Hill shares A LOT of information about cognitive performance and his work with migraine’s. I hope you enjoy all the information on how to hack your mind... mt xxx Hack your life to health, happiness & abundance

Anyone working long hours in a creative industry craves mental stamina and focus. We'd all give anything for the drug Bradley Cooper used to transform himself in the film 'Limitless.' With the recent surge in popularity of smart drugs and nootropics, has the 'Limitless' era finally arrived? In this episode I have an in-depth conversation with Dr. Andrew Hill, a PhD in neuroscience and the lead neuroscientist for the company TruBrain* that manufacturers several different forms of nootropics substances that enhance clarity, focus, memory, and cognitive function. We discuss the difference between smart drugs and nootropics, which are safe and which aren't, how you can enhance the effects of coffee, and which substances are the best bang for your buck when it comes to enhancing the capabilities of your brain.

I’m often asked… …why… …instead of podcasting, interviewing and speaking about one specific topic, I have such a huge variety of guests on , from vegans to Paleo-ists, from biohackers to mushroom harvesters, from minimalist exercisers to ultraendurance masochists… …why… …instead of recommending one single mighty exercise program, I write about and feature everything from super-slow training to powerlifting to obstacle racing to body weight workouts to yoga and beyond…. …why… …instead of recommending one single supplement or brand, I instead experiment with and talk about a huge variety of superfoods, herbs, oils, tinctures, patches, supplements, supplement stacks and supplement companies… …and why… …instead of using and recommending one single quantification or biohacking device, I talk about and use everything from heart rate variability to intranasal light devices to in-ear phototherapy to wearable infrared and beyond. As a matter of fact, because I’m constantly immersed in, studying and experimenting with the most intriguing, the most enchanting and the most useful things to better your body and brain, I’ve been accused of being a guy with a confusing and ever-shifting message, a flake, shallow, a charlatan, a hypocrite, and a sleazy internet marketer who promotes every newest workout, diet or supplement on the face of the planet! ——————- So please allow me to set the record straight here with three quick facts for you. Fact #1: Since I was 15 years old, and for nearly two decades, I’ve spent time immersed in everything from tennis to bodybuilding to water polo to basketball to volleyball to obstacle racing to Ironman to hunting to freediving to fiction writing to guitar to violin to being single to being married to being a father…you get the idea. And during that time, I’ve committed to 7 day body part split workouts, isometric training, electrostimulation, neurofeedback, water aerobics, strength-only, endurance-only, spinning, Zumba, infrared sauna, transcranial direct current stimulation, kickboxing and beyond. Take-away message: it’s OK to have different body and brain training approaches for different skills and desired outcomes. My goal is to simply spend time in the trenches so I can educate and equip YOU with as much helpful information as possible so that you are able to choose the correct movement approach, workout, exercise or “hack”  for your specific goals. That’s not going to be the same for everyone, and I certainly don’t recommend you do it all at once (looking at you, yoga guy holding the kettlebell underwater with an electrostimulation cap). Fact #2: Posted on my office wall is a sign that says: “A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” Take-away message: even though it’s just fine to do so, you don’t *have* to do the same thing your whole life (e.g. Ironman triathlons or bodybuilding or yoga). You can branch out and live life to the fullest, and for you, this may mean experimenting with many different pleasures and pursuits planet Earth has to offer. And sometimes people will find it confusing when your passions change like new chapters in a book. That has certainly seemed to happen to me (e.g. Q. “But Ben, you said last year that you found Tai Chi was the best way to reduce stress and now you say it’s freediving…you’re such a flake!” A. “That’s because my opinion changed based on personal experience”). Hopefully that does you more good than harm. Fact #3: Every week, I look at dozens of blood and biomarker results from clients all over the globe, and spend countless hours doing phone and Skype consults, coaching everyone from athletes to CEO’s to soccer moms, and doing online exercise and nutrition programming. While working with so many different individual body types, metabolisms and personalities, I have developed different biohacks, different diets and different supplement stacks for different people and have found that those needs often drastically change depending on what you happen to be doing in life at the time (e.g. long breath-holds vs. fat loss vs. ketosis vs. pulling an all-nighter studying vs. libido vs. hunting in the wilderness, etc.). Take-away message: when I recommend or talk about a specific fat loss supplement, or meal replacement powder, or a probiotic, or infrared device, or electrostimulation tool, or heck, a razor, it doesn’t mean I recommend every single person on the face of the planet needs to rush out to buy that tool immediately. All it means is that I’ve discovered a cool new thing that is going to help SOME people in SOME situations, and if you listen to my podcasts and read my articles, you will become very well educated about whether something I recommend is actually meant for YOU at this point in your life, and if you DON’T know or you’re confused, then ASK me! Quick summary: 1) different strategies need to be used for different desired outcomes; 2) life is like a book, with new chapters as you go, and that should be exciting, not confusing; 3) take everything I say with a grain of salt because you may need to actually go out and discover (or simply ask me) whether it applies to your specific situation. ——————- Ultimately… I’m a connector. I do my best to connect you with people and solutions that address your specific problems or questions… I’m an author. I write what I keep my fingers crossed will be educational, enchanting and non-run-of-the-mill information about health, fitness, nutrition, longevity and happiness… I’m a teacher. I love to teach you how to get the most out of your body and your brain… And I realize that some people would be less “confused” if I stuck with just one exercise, one workout, one diet, one supplement and one biohack for the rest of all time. But that’s not the life I live. Some days I eat kale, some days I eat bok choy, some days I eat spinach, and some days I fast. Some days I take , some days TruBrain, some days Reishi mushroom, some days nothing. Some days I do yoga, some powerlifting, some body weight training, some cold water swimming. Sometimes I don’t eat meat for a week and sometimes I have steak every day.    I have different approaches for different days for different needs for different goals. And yes, that means that on any given blog post or podcast I might tell you about five different new ways to solve a problem you’re facing and those ways might be completely different than five other ways I told you about just a year ago. That’s because I’m constantly learning, constantly evolving, constantly adapting. It doesn’t mean I’m some slick, slippery marketer who is taking handfuls of cash under the table so I can jump in front of a microphone or keyboard to promote every silly thing that comes across my radar. Trust me: hundreds of products, diets, books, supplements and people come across my radar every week, and I’m extremely selective about any I choose to experiment with, trial, or tell you about. So there you have it. I realize that it can be confusing to follow a guy who is constantly immersed in and chasing new ways to live life to the fullest, but I also like to think it’s a heckuva lot of fun, and I promise you won’t be bored. And now I’m off my soapbox.  Now it’s your turn. Would you rather I create the Greenfield Workout, Greenfield Diet, Greenfield Supplement and Mighty Greenfield All-Encompassing Wristwatch so that I can get laser-focused and stop confusing people? Or should I keep on keeping an open mind, and exploring every corner of the earth for things that help me and you to continually get better bodies, grow better brains, and become better people?

What are smart drugs? Can you supplement your way to genius? These are primary burning questions I was anxious to ask my guest this week, Dr. Andrew Hill.  You see, Dr. Hill received his PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from UCLA in 2012, studying how attention operates in the brain. He is also the director of the Alternatives Brain Institute, where they help clients look at their brain function as well as examine how their mind works, and work with them to build strengths and resources, flexibility, and better performance. Sounds pretty rad. But the kicker is this. Dr. Hill is the lead Neuroscientist for a new startup called truBrain, a company with a mission to help optimize your productivity and efficiency without relying on excess caffeine or prescription medication. They are creating a new type of energy drink! One devoid of the useless sugars, caffeine, and wasted crap and they are replacing it with .... nootropics.  Little drink packages that remind me very much of the old school kool-aid packages.  And in these packages there is a promise of mental clarity, calm energy, productivity, memory increase, and more! Could it be true? If so, someone needs to alert all of the college kids who are popping way too many adderalls.   Well - let's find out! Can these supplements make you amazing, smarter, better, faster? "Nootropics are analogous to vigilance promoting drugs such as Adderall and Ritalin. The difference is nootropics aren't used to remediate a specific problem, they are used to enhance existing cognition." -Dr. Hill Quotes from Andrew Hill:  What we learn in this episode: What's the best drug to take if you just want to feel happy all the time? (Please note, we do not recommend this option). Does neurofeedback work? And when is it useful? Can you diagnose ADHD with neurofeedback? How useful are smart drugs? Do they really work?
