We're previewing the 9th annual Biohacking Conference in Orlando Florida (June 22 - 24) on The Human Upgrade!Patrick K. Porter, PhD has dedicated his life to studying neuropsychology. For years it was believed that we have a set number of brain cells, that our intelligence quotient is fixed, and that our brains do not change. Dr. Porter's clinical experience and research told a different story, revealing that the human brain is, in fact, plastic, making it capable of change, improvement, and expansion. Patrick's discoveries led him to develop the BrainTap headset, sparking incredible transformation for thousands of people. In 2014, with the emergence of the Apple and Android mobile platforms, he saw the opportunity to impact millions more by bringing this technology to an app. Thus, the brain fitness company – BrainTap – was born.BrainTap has proven that your brain can be retrained to operate at its best and that it's never too late to tap into your brain's fullest potential.

Learn about the roots of drama addiction, how it harms the mind and body, and how to recognize signs of it in yourself and others.If you're on drama overload or someone close to you plows through your life dragging drama everywhere—it's sucking the energy out of you. News, world events, and social media can cause a firestorm of drama, too. All of it causes physiological and mental chaos that weakens your resilience to life's real stressors. In this conversation, you're going to learn what causes someone to develop a drama addiction, some of the main symptoms of drama addiction, and ways to heal from it and keep it out of your life.Holistic psychologist and educator Dr. Scott Lyons joins the show to talk about the pain, limiting beliefs, and trauma that show up in you and others who may have drama addiction. He focuses on what drama addiction actually is and how it can affect your mind, body, and life perspective.Drama has become a global drug, where people are overstimulated and under-connected. Stress, too, plays a surprisingly large role in drama addiction. Other things you'll learn about drama addiction:What feeds and feels good about it.How trauma influences it.How weaponized empathy poses a danger to your personal life and work life.How to create boundaries with a drama addict.How to thrive if there's a drama addict in your environment.How to move from drama bonding to more authentic relationships.Scott's identified nearly a dozen addicted-to-drama archetypes in his new book, “Addicted to Drama: Healing Dependency on Crisis and Chaos in Yourself and Others.” You may see yourself or others in one or several of them—and that's good—because then you can move into healing. He outlines a very action-oriented approach with 1) help questions, 2) observation & practice, 3) self-healing statements, and 4) things a therapist might suggest.Not sure how to recognize drama in yourself or the people in your personal or work life?

The brain is your sword. Together, working as one unit, this is what makes you a warrior: the brain and heart connection.” Today's conversation gets into how you can defeat fear and take action by using a no-fail formula to eliminate hesitation.

Learn how to expand your wisdom, cultivate a generous culture, invest in mentorship, and thrive in relationships as a leader.Chip Conley, MBA, talks with Dave in Austin about the concept of wisdom, transcending age boundaries, and the importance of writing down life lessons. He firmly believes that curiosity is the elixir of life.He also explores the paradigm shift in company culture, where focusing on “cultural add” rather than “cultural fit” can foster innovation and diversity. Drawing on his experience that propelled Airbnb's success, Chip uncovers how Airbnb maintains its strong cultural focus through cultural values interviews and company-wide gatherings.A big part of mid-life includes navigating and understanding different generations, especially in the workplace. Chip earned the name “Modern Elder” in a surreptitious way through his work with much younger employees. Airbnb looked to Chip's sustained success in the hospitality space and asked him to help transform their start-up into the world's leading hospitality brand more than a decade ago. He came on to lead Global Hospitality and Strategy.Then 52, he was twice the age of the average Airbnb employee. This earned him the title “Airbnb's Modern Elder” who was as curious as he was wise. He's currently the company's Strategic Advisor for Hospitality and Leadership.That experience influenced Chip to create the Modern Elder Academy—a new roadmap for midlife and learning opportunities—at an oceanfront campus in Baja California Sur, Mexico. Chip's also a New York Times bestselling author, an in-demand public speaker (especially TEDtalks!) and is on the advisory council for the Stanford Center on Longevity.Watch this episode on YouTube!

Learn the hallmarks of aging, the role of functional medicine in restoring and reversing aging, and the many practical ways you can promote your own longevity.Mark Hyman, M.D., joins Dave in Austin to talk all things longevity. Driven by his desire for a healthier, longer life for himself and others, Dr. Mark immersed himself in the latest scientific research on aging and longevity.

He also managed to reduce his biological age by 20 years effectively.He consistently tackles the topic of inflammation and its impact on aging—or “Inflammaging” as he calls it. “The body only has so many ways to say ouch,” Dr. Mark says. “You have pain. You have inflammation. You have certain things that happen that create all these symptoms, but there're these common roots. So, inflammation is this common root that seems to accelerate as we get older. So, we can measure biomarkers of inflammation that are highly predictive of mortality.”This conversation covers many components of aging, like metabolic flexibility and resilience, mTor, meat- and plant-based protein, nutrition, environmental allergies and food sensitivities, histamine, autophagy, fasting, DEXA scans, and much more!In “Forever Young: The Secrets to Living Your Longest, Healthiest Life,” Dr. Mark:shares the knowledge of how to unlock the causes of accelerated aging and treat it as a reversible disease.gives you practical tips for daily habits that will increase your energy and performance.teaches you why you age and what it really takes to live a longer, more vibrant life.Watch this episode on YouTube!

Here's what you must know about the health risks and extensive symptoms of breast implant illness, as well as removal solutions. Dr. Rob Whitfield discusses the often-overlooked health risks associated with breast implants. Women who experience breast implant illness have symptoms like brain fog, memory loss, fatigue, joint pain, anxiety, and many more.While there's not a definitive cause of breast implant illness, a common theory points to an immune system response. Breast implants in the body can lead to persistent foreign body reactions, silicone toxicity, heavy metal exposure, biofilm development around the implants, and free radical/oxidative damage. Over time, these reactions weaken the immune system and cause health symptoms from minor to severe. Your autoimmune response, endocrine system, thyroid & adrenals, and gut all could be affected.Dr. Rob's an Austin-based plastic surgeon who's cared for hundreds of women with breast implant illness, performs breast explants, and teaches other surgeons about this illness and treatment methods. In his years of experience in breast reconstruction for cancer patients, microsurgery, and a deep understanding of the body's reactions to foreign materials, he's developed a unique insight into the world of breast implant illness.This episode serves as a guide to what could be happening in your body, what symptoms to watch for, and breast implant removal options if you suspect you may have breast implant illness.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… former rocket scientist and former law professor Ozan Varol—an expert in creativity, innovation, and critical thinking—says that unlocking your full potential involves reimagining the status quo rather than simply resisting it. “The word resist for me gets in the way because often resistance becomes a different way of conformity, as in you're resisting something but you're not really offering a new path forward,” he says. “So, resistance becomes its own end in and of itself. The goal should be re-imagination.”In this discussion about Ozan's newest book, “AWAKEN YOUR GENIUS: Escape Conformity, Ignite Creativity, and Become Extraordinary,” you'll learn to access the best parts of your brain and create your own path as a leader and creator by acting instead of reacting. While people consider those who blaze their own trail as geniuses, Ozan contends that genius is not limited to a select few. Rather, it can be discovered by anyone. He loaded this book with smart tips, examples, things to think about, and things to do. For example, you'll learn why you should ignore email until noon and spend the most valuable time of your day thinking in creativity. You'll also learn how spending more time on the “why” than the “what” moves you toward the life you really want to be living. He lays out an action roadmap for you to cultivate your own genius and be in charge of your time and creativity.Watch this episode on YouTube!Find all the links and resources in the show notes.WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

This discussion gets into libido and eyesight, too.David's in his early 50s and a dad to two teenagers. He started biohacking over three years ago when he discovered the Bulletproof Radio podcast (now called The Human Upgrade). He then read Dave's books, made some life changes, saw the results, and decided 150 years on this rock would be awesome! “So, I'm one-third of the way through life, and my aim is to be in the best physical and mental state possible for all of those years,” he says.Note: The "Interventions With Dave” recommendations are designed to help you upgrade yourself and your biology so you can perform better at everything you do. They are not, however, a substitute for advice or treatment by a trained medical professional that may be needed for specific health conditions, illness or injury.Find a full list of the Interventions With Dave episodes here.Listen to this episode on YouTube!WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… Vincent Pedre, M.D., explains how consuming too much sugar can lead to insulin resistance and diabetes by causing shifts in the microbiome that reduce insulin signaling. He also highlights how omega-6 fats found in processed foods contribute to inflammation and chronic disease by carrying lipopolysaccharide toxins through cell membranes. For over a decade, board-certified internist and Functional Medicine certified practitioner, Dr. Pedre, founder of Happy Gut Life, has helped people improve their well-being and quality of life by building the foundation of gut health that supports total physical and mental wellness. He believes that healing begins in the kitchen through the foods we eat. He brings together years of research and clinical experience to offer you real solutions in his newest book, “The GutSMART Protocol: Revitalize Your Health, Boost Your Energy, and Lose Weight in Just 14 Days with Your Personalized Gut-Healing Plan.”The balance between good and bad bacteria is both important and nuanced—more microbial diversity in the gut is not always better. "The focus should be on metabolomics, not just diversity when it comes to gut bacteria,” Dr. Pedre says. Another focus includes gut interrelationships and the seven big systems in your body affected by leaky gut: skin, airway, brain, joints, energy, metabolism, and immune system.Watch this episode on YouTube!Find all the links and resources in the show notes.WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… An air quality expert explains the impact of your home environment on your health, mold sensitivities, and the remediation process, including DIY tips and professional interventions. You'll also find out about The Dust Test, which identifies mold, bacteria, and biotoxins in your home so the inspector can remove all sources of contamination.Mold is likely a problem in your home, as it is for many people, and you likely don't know what to do about it. Every year, mold damages property and costs homeowners money. But worse than that, mold is dangerous to your health, especially if you are one of 375 million Americans who are susceptible to chronic mold sensitivity. With decades of field experience, Michael Rubino, president of HomeCleanse, excels at working with individuals—many of whom are who are immunocompromised—to detoxify their homes and improve indoor air quality. He has helped more than 1,000 families heal from toxic mold exposure so far, and, as he says, this is just the beginning.Through scientific expertise and innovation, Michael developed alternative remediation protocols that eliminate common mold sources and eradicate the contamination caused by those sources.His expert advice in this episode is a go-to resource for anyone worried about an increasingly common problem that can have life-threatening side effects. And his book The Mold Medic can definitely help you breathe easier. SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS: Go to www.thedusttest.com/dave and use code DAVE to get $10 off.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you'll learn why many professional athletes, especially fighters, are some of the top biohackers in the world. They hack their bodies, minds, and environments to achieve an incredibly high level of performance. Every hack they do has to be effective—and means the difference between winning and losing. Professional MMA (mixed martial arts) fighter Miesha Tate knows and does just that while adding being a parent and entrepreneur into the mix. Miesha is a former UFC and Strikeforce Bantamweight champion, ONE Championship vice president, and winner of Celebrity Big Brother Season 3. She always draws on her experiences, whether from home birth or competing on the world's biggest stages as a pro athlete as proof that when the mind and body are functioning with synchronicity, you are capable of great things. After more than a decade of wrestling and MMA competition culminating in her UFC World Championship in 2016, she stepped out of the octagon. “I retired from the sport and it took five years to figure out who I am other than Miesha Tate, the fighter,” she says. “So not only did I go soul searching, but I also went wellness searching.”She found red light to help her recovery and healing, hyperbaric oxygen therapy to restore and protect her brain, and breathing techniques to keep her present and grounded. She learned, too, the importance of mindfulness and attention to self—“to just be alone with your own thoughts.” She says there's reward and fulfillment in doing something every day that pushes you and makes you a little bit uncomfortable. No pain required.She came back to professional MMA fighting after having two children and changed up nearly everything about her training. This included moving from Bantamweight to Flyweight, which meant reducing her already lean frame by another 10 pounds. She now looks at her body and mind as a comprehensive unit: the big things like hormones, nutrition, sleep and brain health; flow state during her fights; and she even takes on the more elusive soul work. Miesha focuses on empowering women through martial arts, with a particular emphasis on self-defense and building confidence. She's become an advocate for women in combat sports, using her platform to promote equality and opportunities for women in the sport. She also helps others heal, recover, and discover their potential at Desert Moon Wellness, which she co-founded with two women partners.She lists her three most important things in life as: 1) Family and friends, 2) time, and 3) goals and dreams.Watch this episode on YouTube!All the links and resources are available in the show notes.WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…you'll learn how much control you can actually have over your brain. There's a new way of accessing your meat operating system that adds an important element that's been missing from the brain training conversation. Moha Bensofia joins the show to explain a new piece of neurotech called Mendi. He shares the benefits of getting more blood to the front of your brain.Mendi uses neurofeedback to provide visual feedback based on your brain activity. A headset measures the activity while you play a fun brain-training mobile game. The system uses fNIRS technology to measure blood flow and oxygenation in the pre-frontal cortex of the brain. The brain training game requires focus and calmness, which increases activity and control of your brain's pathways. By using Mendi, you can learn to control your brain activity and reach greater heights as an entrepreneur, athlete, and professional in any field.Mendi was developed initially for victims of war and trauma, as well as people struggling with anxiety, PTSD, and ADHD. But, as you'll learn, everyone can benefit from this type of brain training.SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS: Go to https://www.mendi.io and use code DAVE to save 15%.Watch this episode on YouTube!WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… Amy Shah, M.D., teaches you all you need to know about the second F word: food. That's right, you are going to learn all about hunger from the author of the book, “I'm So Effing Hungry: Why We Crave What We Crave – and What to Do About It” You'll also find out why focusing on your hunger is more important and effective than going on yet another diet. Dr. Shah is a double board-certified medical doctor and nutrition expert with training from Cornell, Columbia, and Harvard universities. Her background includes internal medicine and allergy/immunology. During this discussion, she shares why she believes that you can diet all you want, but diets don't work—and, worse yet, they keep you addicted. They also keep you hungry and keep you unhappy. She helps you lean into your body signals and really understand what's happening. She developed a 5-step program for battling excessive hunger and food cravings by harnessing the power of psychobiotics and intermittent fasting. She combined scientific studies with Western and Ayurvedic approaches so you can:REPLENISH your body by eating more nourishing, mood-balancing foods.REWIRE your brain to undo the addiction pathways and cravings for processed foods.RESET your circadian rhythm to activate hunger hormones that reduce your appetite.REFRESH with a good night's sleep, using proven good sleep habits used by the U.S. military.RETRAIN your body with exercise that regulates key neurotransmitters that influence our hunger response.You'll want to take notes on this extremely helpful and actionable interview.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™... a look into the story of the human mind wonders if you're just a machine made of meat. Guest Paul Bloom, a researcher, teacher and author, studies adult and child development in terms of how people make sense of the world. It turns out that there are all kinds of automated systems in your body that are making sense of the world for you and after they do that, they give you a picture of the world. The interesting part is that picture may be more or less accurate based on a lot of things that are part of your programming.Paul is a professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto and professor emeritus of Psychology at Yale University. He teaches a popular “Intro to Psychology” class that he turned into his seventh book, called: “Psych: The Story of the Human Mind.”Because he studies psychology at so many different levels, he brings new knowledge and new synthesis of ideas to the discussion of the human mind. Topics range from consciousness to ChatGPT and BDSM, from whether you have a soul or if you can attain happiness. Paul's writing and lectures show how psychology can give us practical insights into important issues. He addresses the treatment of mental illnesses such as depression and anxiety and the best way to lead a fulfilling life. This episode and his new book guide you through the most important topic there is: the story of you and your mind.Watch this episode on YouTube!WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS. CHECK THEM OUT!

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™... you will learn about the beliefs that kick in as normal humans age and most importantly, you will learn what you can do about those limiting beliefs. And who better to discuss this than the author of the book, "Gnar Country: Growing Old, Staying Rad," Steven Kotler. Steven is a friend of the show, executive director of the Flow Research Collective, a New York Times bestselling author, and an award-winning journalist. He tested his knowledge and theories on himself in a quest to learn how to park ski (an extreme type of skiing) at age 53.Science shows that older humans are better at learning certain skills than younger people. Brain changes occur in the second half of your life that unlock levels of intelligence, wisdom, creativity, and empathy you didn't know were possible.In the conversation, Steven describes how his book chronicles his experience pushing his own aging body past preconceived limits. He also explains why he wrote a book about goals, grit and progression - and why he feels it's an important lesson for everyone to learn (not just those of you over 50). Steven also explains why he chose extreme skiing as his No. 1 anti-aging activity. “... if you really want to preserve cognitive function, you want to basically use the hippocampus in the way that evolution designed it. You want novel, challenging experiences in outdoor environments.”Watch this episode on YoutubeFind all the links and resources in the show notes.***WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS. CHECK THEM OUT!

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… the guest is one of the founders of Wired Magazine and someone who has been a continuous source of interest, news and data for decades, Jane Metcalfe. Having basically dissected nerds for her entire life, Jane now runs a fantastic newsletter and news site called NEO.LIFE where she writes about biohacking and the future. If you were to combine someone who really understands society and understands tech (and has read as much science fiction as possible) you would have Jane. Jane's, focus throughout her, career has been on how technology is transforming our world. But now she is fascinated with how deeply we can see inside the body and how processing the data we collect allows us to discover new cells, understand complex biological systems, and engineer bacteria, viruses, DNA, and ultimately ourselves. Her new platform, NEO.LIFE is for exploring how we Homo sapiens will use these technologies and new understandings to power our own evolution.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™...I do something different. Over the past 1000+ episodes, I have spent a lot of time talking and learning from my guests, but I have heard over and over that you would like to hear more from me about what I am doing, trying and thinking. Well, that can be awkward to do sitting alone in front of a microphone. A while ago, Danica Patrick interviewed me and it is one of my favorite podcast interviews ever. Danica did a great job of digging into why I do what I do, why I think the way I think, and best of all she allowed me to talk about parts of my life that I have never talked about anywhere else. So, Danica has kindly allowed me to drop that episode from her podcast, Pretty Intense, right here on the Human Upgrade.You are going to learn a lot from the episode. We hit on a lot of pretty next-level stuff - our conversation even allowed me to dig into the concept of old souls (or reincarnation), and how that affects our current life.Danica is a fascinating person and an excellent interviewer.

… Dr. Kelly Brogan, a holistic women's health psychiatrist, shares why her views often go against conventional thinking—on topics from pharmaceuticals to sex to pole dancing to relationship compatibility.She's board certified in psychiatry, psychosomatic medicine, and integrative holistic medicine and takes a root-cause resolution approach to psychiatric syndromes and symptoms. She adds in supporting techniques to help women reclaim their divine feminine power.I previously talked with Dr. Kelly on episode #635 about her book, "Own Your Self: The Surprising Path Beyond Depression, Anxiety, and Fatigue to Reclaiming Your Authenticity, Vitality, and Freedom.” This romp of a discussion tackles women's power and what it means to claim or reclaim it. And how women themselves can be harmful critics of other women's choices. Dr. Kelly went through profound personal changes over the past few years that led to changes in her business, too. Changes that rattled some people and brought out the worst kind of social media attention. She talks about how she's stayed firmly in her choices and offers tips for you to do the same. She also gets into why the differences in feminine and masculine power matter now more than ever.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…you're going to learn how to work with your own biology, adapt to adversity, and get resilient AF. Doctor, educator and entrepreneur Dr. Molly Maloof joins the show in person in Austin, Texas, to talk about her debut book, “The Spark Factor: The Secret to Supercharging Energy, Becoming Resilient, and Feeling Better Than Ever.” For women biohackers, it's all about energy—and hormones. “Cycles are exactly why the way guys biohack doesn't always work for us [women]; we have hormonal and physiological differences, and importantly, different biological imperatives, from an evolutionary standpoint,” she says in her new book.She last appeared on episode #706 and talked about how blood sugar powers your energy. This time, she explains why mitochondrial dysfunction is at the root of the collective human energy crisis and what you can do about it. Dr. Molly says four culprits reduce your energy capacity: inactivity, overeating and poor nutrition, too much stress and social disconnection."Spark Factor" outlines clear and actionable steps for women on how to make, charge, use, tune, and plug in your own batteries. New to biohacking? Start where you are. More advanced biohacker? You'll learn tips and tweaks to get you to another level. Molly offers low-tech and tech-free guidance, too. It's up to you where to start and how far you want to take it.Her unique view of human performance incorporates technology and psychedelics. In this broad conversation, she covers sex and relationships, too.Watch this episode on YouTube!WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS. CHECK THEM OUT!

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… board-certified OB/GYN and “menopause warrior” Mary Claire Haver, M.D., joins the show to give women a toolkit to manage what comes before, during and after menopause.She explains the science of women's hormones, physiology and brain during the menopausal transition.She breaks down the studies, risks, and age timing of Hormone Replacement Therapy.She gives you information you can use to both help yourself and ask for help from medical professionals.She arms you with actions that work based on what is happening to your biology and brain chemistry during the years leading up to and after menopause.“When I talk about the menopausal toolkit, HRT is just one small part of what I counsel patients about,” Dr. Haver says. “We talk about nutrition, we talk about exercise, we talk about stress reduction, we talk about sleep, we talk about possible other pharmaceuticals. And of course, we talk about supplementation. It's like a tackle box and everything is important.”Although Dr. Haver's career included taking care of women at all life stages, she didn't expect to experience the shocks of her own menopause. So, she went looking for answers and took action along the way. She changed the entire focus of her medical practice to menopause. She also channeled the power of social media to provide menopause education and reaches more than 2 million on her TikTok channel alone.Her new book, “The Galveston Diet: The Doctor-Developed, Patient-Proven Plan to Burn Fat and Tame Your Hormonal Symptoms," lays out three specific action areas: intermittent fasting, anti-inflammatory nutrition, and fuel refocus.Menopause is having a moment. (As Lizzo would say, “It's About Damn Time.”) From investor-backed start-ups in a $6B market to celebrity-led wellness brands to demands for more science—women, and women medical professionals, are changing mid-life menopause dynamics.Watch this episode on YouTube!WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…Susanna Soeberg, Ph.D., a Danish researcher, international scientist and expert in cold and heat therapy for health and performance, explains how you can harness the massive benefits of cold water immersion (winter swimming), sauna, breathing, and your metabolism.When it comes to biohacking, a few things rise to the top and make a pretty big difference in your body and brain. Through her research, Susanna discovered the minimum threshold of cold and heat exposure for health benefits. We get right into that on the show. She also works with functional breathing during cold environmental conditions and cold water immersion, especially winter swimming. Have you been considering this biohack for awhile? Baby steps won't get you there—prepare to go all-in with the cold. “You could take cold showers, for sure,” Susanna says, “but it's not going to activate your parasympathetic nervous system in the same way as submerging yourself into cold water.”Earning a Ph.D. in metabolism at the University of Copenhagen set her on course to focus her expertise on ways metabolism works for and against you—and what you can do to improve your metabolic profile. She researches obesity, Type 2 diabetes and insulin management, as well as how brown and white adipose tissue (fat) function differently within the human body.In Susanna's new book, “Winter Swimming: The Nordic Way Towards a Healthier and Happier Life,” she describes the benefits of winter swimming and cold water immersion on your physiology, mental health, and capacity for resilience.Watch this episode on YouTube!SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS: Go to https://www.soeberginstitute.com and use code DAVE for a special discount on Susanna Soeberg's 3-week course, The Thermalist CureTM.Opportunity: Breath, Cold, Stress & Resilience Conference, Feb. 18, 2023.

Leela Quantum Tech sponsored this episode.IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…you'll learn why energy frequencies have such a powerful influence on human physiology. Skeptics take note: science backs this up.Philipp Samor Von Holtzendorff-Fehling introduced quantum energy on episode #809 and its benefits on body function, cellular voltage and chakra energy. He returns to the show with exciting new research that further validates the power of this energy and its frequencies on human physiology.“Energy and frequency—that's where the real truth is.” Philipp says. “And that's where the real life also is.”Leela Quantum Tech creates blocs (Infinity, Quantum, Travel), frequency cards, H.E.A.L. capsules, and other products charged with quantum energy. The products have been through single- and double-blind, randomized studies and tests. This research has measured mental and physical energy, organ function, neutralization of radioactive particles, protection against pesticides and herbicides, and much more. Studies also explored how quantum energy affects ATP production, HRV (heart rate variability) and food allergies. You can feel and measure the effects. And dark field microscopy studies (placebo-controlled and double-blind) performed by Dr. Beverly Rubik in the U.S. and the BESA institute in Austria looked at the physical effectiveness of Leela Bloc technology.SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS: Go to https://leelaq.com and use code DAVE10 to get 10% off.Watch this episode on YouTube!WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…Harvard psychiatrist, researcher and assistant professor Christopher Palmer, M.D., introduces a bold new premise about the root cause of mental illness based on decades of research.Dr. Palmer integrated existing theories and research into one unifying theory—the brain energy theory of mental illness that's rooted in your metabolism. Through his research, he initially pioneered using a medical ketogenic diet to treat psychiatric disorders. In this conversation, you'll learn how he went even further to uncover the connection between mental health and metabolic disorders of the brain. That connection lies in mitochondrial dysfunction or dysregulation.His new book, “Brain Energy: A Revolutionary Breakthrough in Understanding Mental Health and Improving Treatment for Anxiety, Depression, OCD, PTSD, and More,” also explains the increased risk for mental disorders in all metabolic conditions, including diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, pain disorders, obesity, Alzheimer's disease, and epilepsy. “Once you see the big picture of metabolism and all of the things that influence metabolism, you actually can see novel ways to intervene,” Dr. Palmer says. “And you can also raise some red flags about some of our current treatments.” Watch this episode on YouTube!WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… you'll meet Robert Waldinger, M.D., who leads an extraordinary scientific study on happiness that's still going strong after eight decades. The study set out to understand human health by what made people thrive.Since 1938, the Harvard Study of Adult Development has tracked two groups of men and their families with the goal of discovering what really makes for a good life. Along the way, thousands of questions were asked, and hundreds of measurements were taken—from brain scans to blood work. Three strong themes emerged from the study: Social connections are really good for you. Loneliness kills.It's the quality of your close relationships that matters.Good close relationships don't just protect your body, they protect your brain.Dr. Waldinger combined those lifelong case studies with modern psychological research in his new book, co-authored with Marc Schulz, Ph.D., “The Good Life: Lessons from the World's Longest Scientific Study of Happiness." This discussion gives you real-life tools to hack your happiness. You'll learn things like:how relationships improve your physical, mental and emotional health. (More than you know!)how to evaluate the effect of your relationships on your well-being. (Don't be dragged down.)what social fitness is and how to practice it. (Yes, it's a flex.)ways to enliven and energize your relationships. (Energy totally matters.)why casual and work relationships matter more than you think. (A surprisingly big contribution.)Watch this episode on YouTube!Don't Miss This!

IN THIS EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™… Humble The Poet joins the show to talk about a unique perspective on love. You'll learn:what “real” love means (hint: it's not found or earned) and how to recognize it in your life. how to shift away from a mindset of earning more, achieving more, and gaining more attention so you can clear pathways for love to enter and flourish in your lifehow to ditch restrictive “resolutions” (that fail more often than they succeed) and instead set intentions that allow you more freedom to love yourself and others.This Canadian-born rapper, spoken-word artist, poet and international bestselling author began reciting spoken word poetry in coffee shops more than a decade ago. That creative outlet turned into an adventure that crossed genres, mediums and oceans. His style stimulates audiences with ideas that challenge conventional wisdom. His first two books, “Unlearn” & “Things Nobody Can Teach Us” became international bestsellers. His newest book focuses on self love, love for others, defining love in a different way, and how to ease up on expectations that may be holding you back: “How to Be Love(d): Simple Truths for Going Easier on Yourself, Embracing Imperfection & Loving Your Way to a Better Life.” “I'm writing this because I'm desperate,” he says in the book. “Desperate to realize love, accept love, and learn how I keep f**king it up.”Watch this episode on YouTube!WE APPRECIATE OUR PARTNERS.

IN THIS “BEST OF” EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…… Ari Whitten, Ph.D. (Cand.), CES, PES, explains how to double your energy through improved resilience, cell defense, nutrition and supplementation. In his newest book, “EAT FOR ENERGY: How to Beat Fatigue, Supercharge Your Mitochondria, and Unlock All-Day Energy,” Ari explains that 5.4 million adults in the U.S. have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (the most severe case of fatigue). However, the true fatigue epidemic affects 50 to 100 times more people with many experiencing some level of being flat-out tired as hell.This conversation gets right into the role of mitochondria in human energy. The cause of fatigue is mitochondrial dysfunction, Ari says. The biggest factors that affect your mitochondria include:Circadian rhythm dysregulation and poor sleep Carrying too much body fat and too little muscle mass Poor gut and microbiome health Blood sugar dysregulation Nutritional toxicities and deficiencies Neurotransmitter and hormone imbalances Ari recommends science-backed ways that you can get your mitochondria moving, dial in your nutrition and upgrade your brain, gut and hormones.

IN THIS “BEST OF” EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…… Steven Gundry, M.D., explains that ketones aren't the fat-burning molecules you think they are. Ketones actually work to enhance health, weight loss, and longevity by acting as signaling molecules that stimulate your mitochondria. A cellular process known as “mitochondrial uncoupling” happens. He debunks common myths about keto in his newest book, “Unlocking the Keto Code: The Revolutionary New Science of Keto That Offers More Benefits Without Deprivation,” and shares eight “keys” that unlock the keto code: Intermittent fasting or time-controlled eating PolyphenolsDietary fiber Fermented foods PolyaminesCold temperaturesHot temperaturesRed light therapyUpgrading your nutrition with keto gets even simpler in this conversation that gives you real food examples of how to ignite your mitochondrial uncoupling process without a monotonous, limiting, high-fat diet.SPECIAL OFFER FOR THE HUMAN UPGRADE LISTENERS: Get 30% off products at https://gundrymd.com.
