Get ready for a very interesting and dynamic guest, Dr. Erik Korem, the founder and CEO of AIM7 and host of The Blueprint.

I apologize for the somewhat abrupt start to the show—we were getting to know each other offline and started to get into some pretty serious and fun topics, so I began recording as our conversation was starting to take off. As you will hear, Dr. Erik is a man of many interests, with many different skills and areas of expertise, and in this episode, you will learn about his company AIM7, and the technology that helps guide you to smart lifestyle decisions by calculating where you stand in terms of stress levels, sleep quality, and workout performance and recovery. I am usually a skeptic/generally disinterested in wearable technology and biofeedback devices, but when you’re talking about technology that helps you tap into your intuition better, that’s an entirely different story, and one that I am very interested in.

You will also learn about the brain’s natural detoxification system, brain health and why we need to prioritize sleep to protect against the alarming rising rates of cognitive decline, and why social isolation poses equal, or perhaps even more severe risks to health than smoking.

TIMESTAMPS:

New technology can help you better tap into your intuition and enhance your performance. [00:46]

Erik has pioneered technology used by the NFL and college football teams helping them adapt to physical and psychological stress. [05:34]

This technology can measure biological states of readiness. [11:14]

There is no such thing as “muscle memory.” It is the essential nervous system that tells the muscles when to fire. [14:41]

When working with the world-class sprinters, what did Erik notice had been their shortcomings that needed correcting? [19:41]

This technology measures HRV and DC potential. With the new technology, they were able to change the way teams practice. [25:39]

As you age, you have to change your whole fitness protocol. [31:27]

if you don't move enough during the day, the cardiometabolic benefits of exercise aren't the same. [38:51]

The glymphatic system enables the inflow of cerebral spinal fluid into your brain while you sleep. [44:21]

There is an increase in our society in mental health problems and it is mostly related to lack of healthy sleep patterns. [48:21]

Why wait to see what the next scientific discovery is? Make healthy living decisions now. [51:21]

Social isolation has been driven by technology. Face-to-face communication is significantly more effective than electronic forms. [54:44]

AIM7 is an app that helps people pursue long term goals for their health. [01:02:27]
