Today’s episode is all about improving the health of your brain! Exercise, sleep, nutrition, and meditation are all tools we can use to optimize our health, and brain hacking is the next frontier. Today’s guest, Toby Pasman, through his company NuroFlex, is at the forefront of this fascinating field, and he is just about as close to a mind reader as a person can get! Did you know that you have numerous different types of brain waves and that each one is responsible for different states that you experience? During this episode, Toby explains what happens when we have deficient or overactive brain waves, and how we can transform our lives when we understand our brain waves better. For a more practical understanding of how brain mapping and hacking tools work, Toby puts Andres’ brain to the test and then analyzes the results!
