Microdosing - Paul Austin - Psychedelics
There’s a big difference between a microdose and “journey dose” and today founder of Third Wave, Paul Austin, is here to help us get to the bottom of it. Can you define microdosing? With microdosing psychedelics now a buzzworthy topic of conversation among everyone from high achieving CEOs to stay-at-home parents, we need to properly understand such landscapes if we want to safely and effectively use these tools to upgrade the mind/brain interface.

Jamie Wheal With Dr. Tara Isabella Burton - Meaning-Making
Our society is facing a crisis of meaning. That is the foundational message of our latest episode with Dr. Tara Isabella Burton. You may have heard of the term “nones”- people listing no religious affiliation in surveys. Dr. Burton, theologian, author and journalist, is less interested in what this group of people are leaving behind (institutional religion) than in how they are finding or making their own meaning. But what happens when we seek stabilizing, emotionally satisfying stories that give us a cosmic location and identity without accountability to a higher purpose? Could it be that if we’re seeking self-actualization and the only arbiter is our own thoughts, feelings, and desires that the result is lack of meaning and inadvertently the development of narcissistic traits? It’s a powerful question. Get in touch. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/neurohacker/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/neurohackercollective Email: support@neurohacker.com

Fear - Andrew Huberman, Ph.D. - Neuroscience
You asked, we delivered: this week we bring you an encore episode of the discussion between our Co-founder, Daniel Schmachtenberger, and neuroscientist and tenured Professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine, Dr. Andrew Huberman. We frequently receive requests to have Dr. Andrew Huberman on the podcast. Truth is, we have quite a few in our archives, but many of the conversations occurred early in the birth of our company, resulting in the content being missed by the amazing community members now following us. To each and everyone of you: this episode is for you. Get in touch.

Human Development - Dr. Terri O’Fallon - Integral Theory
Join us as we unpack human development with Dr. Terri O’Fallon, founder of STAGES, an integrally based model that defines 12 stages in the evolution of human consciousness and meaning-making wisdom. As human beings we regularly change—we develop. Experiences bring new perspectives and change who we experience ourselves to be. Our relationship with others and our life context evolves and matures. But these growth spurts often result in a developmental confusion—a sense of bewilderment about our identity or purpose. Sponsored by Qualia Senolytic: neurohacker.com/podcastoffer.

Jamie Wheal With Dr. Daniel Lieberman - Consciousness
Today, psychiatrist Daniel Z. Lieberman, coauthor of The Molecule of More, and author of his latest book Spellbound leads us down a new path: one where we learn how to recognize the influences of the unconscious, making it an ally in helping us become the people we were meant to be. The unconscious mind is still very much an enigma, but it influences our lives in ways we can only begin to imagine. Much of what we experience, our moods, what we like and dislike—most of who we are originates with the unconscious. But it’s not always working in our favor. Get in touch.

Neurofeedback - Dr. Andrew Hill - Neuroscience
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 biofeedbackWhy normal readings during brain mappings are overratedWhat neurofeedback reveals about the brain post COVIDCombining chemicals that boost brain plasticity with neurofeedbackWhat brain maps tell us about cannabis and the brainIf you love the brain like we do, this episode is for you. Listen in now. Full episode transcript: https://neurohacker.com/how-to-better-understand-and-optimize-your-unique-brain-with-neurofeedback-an-interview-with-dr-andrew-hill

HomeGrown Humans - Wednesday Martin, Ph.D. - Sexuality - Hosted by Jamie Wheal
In our latest episode, Jamie Wheal and Dr. Wednesday Martin are intent on taking us out of our comfort zones, changing the way we think about women and sex forever. Dr. Martin presents the case that “junk science” and regressive cultural narratives have shaped our beliefs about female infidelity for centuries and that female sexual autonomy is the most meaningful metric of gender equality. We spotlight:Female non-monogamy across cultures and speciesThe case for a reclassification of the scientific term “alpha male”Cultural shifts from plow agriculture to polyamoryDefining and exploring the Orgasm gapThe link between female sexuality and gender inequalityThe conversation is riveting and includes a nod to the work of our previous guest, Sexologist and anthropologist, Helen Fisher, Ph.D. Buckle up, you’re in for a spicy conversation.Full episode transcript.
