The Captain's Lifestyle Podcast 137: Hack Your Brain Waves with WaveNeuro
Jun 16, 2022
48:07
What’s up, Captains? In this episode, Taylor welcomes special guest Dr. Erik Won, President of Wave Neuroscience, a biotech company pioneering Magnetic Resonance Therapy (MeRT). Overseeing powerful innovations with MeRT technology, Dr. Won gives us more detail on how WaveNeuro actually works– using the power of brain imaging, the technology allows medical professionals to target any part of the brain that is exhibiting areas of disruption and provide treatment for those areas. This shifts the discussion to the different types of brain waves and how vital a good night’s sleep is.
Sleep deprivation can wreak havoc on our overall health and wellbeing, but so many of us don’t realize truly how destructive it can be. Dr. Won even suggests a feeling of sleep “machismo” where we pride ourselves on compromising our sleep for more productivity. Does this ring any bells? If you feel you might fall into this category as well, then listen to what Dr. Won has to say. When we are sleep deprived, we do not get to enter the deeper stages of sleep where the body starts to reset, this can lead to a feeling of brain fog that most of us have experienced. But, if this becomes chronic, then scarier stuff like cognitive decline and dementia become topics of note. If we want to accomplish everything we desire, we have to abandon the “I’ll sleep when I’m dead” mentality.
So, why so much talk about sleep with WaveNeuro? Dr. Won explains that chronic lack of sleep can cause the abnormalities that MeRT technology is designed to detect. When the therapy is administered, the best sign that the treatment will be effective for Dr. Won is when the patient notes how great they have been sleeping. As the episode finishes, Taylor and Erik continue discussing WaveNeuro and its benefits, who it is designed for, special opportunities for veterans, and Dr. Won’s excitement for the future in this field of study with combined therapies.

Key Quotes
“Sleep really is critical and fundamental, not just for the current day– feeling restored and vibrant and active– but also long-term in warding off some of the decline that has been associated with aging.” –Dr. Erik Won
“Once we’re able to shift out of high-beta essentially– stressed out, anxious all the time, reliving the past, worried about what could potentially happen in the future… Once you can change those stories and drop into alpha brain waves and into gamma, then you can create a new reality for yourself.” –Taylor Morgan
