How the Body Makes Decisions

Angela welcomes special guest, Dave Asprey, founder of the biohacking movement, on how unseen, pre-conscious processes in your body, particularly within the mitochondria, dictate your energy, reactions, and susceptibility to emotional triggers.

Dave also explains why your body's initial operating system, driven by primal needs—fear, food, and fertility—influences your choices and emotional states before your conscious mind intervenes.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• Pre-Conscious Body Decisions: Your body, specifically the mitochondria, processes reality and decides your emotional response within a one-third of a second 'censorship window' 
• The Five F-Words of the Body's Operating System: The body's primal decisions are based on five priorities: Fear (run away from danger), Food (eat everything), Fertility (reproduce), Friend (support community), and Forgiveness (evolution and emotional editing).
• Suffering as a Choice: People will unconsciously continue patterns of suffering until the pain is great enough to overcome their internal resistance and they actively choose to change
• Forgiveness as an Altered State: True forgiveness is a measurable, physiological process that happens in the body, which involves finding gratitude for a small positive outcome from a negative event
