The Human Upgrade with Dave Asprey

NOTE

Ignite Neurogenesis for Transformation

Neurogenesis predominantly occurs in the hippocampus, significantly influenced by Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF). Recent studies suggest that specific combinations of substances, such as microdose psilocybin, lion's mane, and B vitamins, can activate whole brain neurogenesis. Activities like intermittent fasting and even coffee consumption can enhance neurogenesis. The crucial aspect is what training the brain undergoes once neurogenesis is triggered. Engagement with treatments that stimulate brain receptors can lead to enhanced neural connectivity, as described by Hebb’s Law: neurons that fire together, wire together. This not only fosters creativity and cognitive function but also ignites underutilized brain regions, resulting in noticeable transformations in individuals' abilities and overall perception of self.
