Biohacking - No Side Effects, Very Little Downside, Et Et Cetera

This episode is all about the brain, specifically how to optimize cognitive performance and behaviors via neurofeedback. Research shows our brains are highly malleable and neurofeedback is a cutting edge tool to help us safely train broad regulatory actions associated with mood, attention, self-regulation and self-control, sleep, energy, stress, anxiety, and much, much more. 

But how exactly does neurofeedback work? And for those with advanced knowledge in the field, can we objectively measure executive function? Dr. Andrew Hill, a previous guest on this podcast who holds a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience, helps us answer those questions. We break down the brain’s “languages” (think delta, theta, alpha beta brainwaves) in an easy to understand format while satisfying questions we all want answers to, such as:

The difference between neurofeedback and biofeedback

Why normal readings during brain mappings are overrated

What neurofeedback reveals about the brain post COVID

Combining chemicals that boost brain plasticity with neurofeedback

What brain maps tell us about cannabis and the brain

If you love the brain like we do, this episode is for you. Listen in now.
