– Why Brain health is so essential, Brain as software and hardware.
– How to increase Neurogenesis and Neuroplasticity
– Conscious and Subconscious mind
– Relation with psychedelics and the subconscious mind
– Best supplements for memory and cognition
In detail:
– What is Neuroplasticity and Neurogenesis
– How to increase Neurogenesis: Increase Growth Factors ( Aerobic exercise, for example ), add building blocks ( Choline and Folate for example ), increase positive stress ( exercise, stress, cold thermogenesis and more ) and reduce negative stress ( sleep deprivation, excessive blue light exposure, particularly at night ).
– How Sleep can help to generate new positive neuropathways
– Senescence cells what they are and their potential advantage in neurogenesis if reduced. How having the right balance is essential.
– Neuroplasticity: The ability to re-shape your brain by creating new dominant neuropathways for physiological responses you want more of.
– How to hack Neuroplasticity: Sleep is a must. Having new experiences also stimulates Neuroplasticity ( given that there is repetition ).
– With Neuroplasticity, you can hack behaviours you are not proud of or you would like to change, including how to emotionally respond to public speaking, for example.
– Propensity to be anxious or angry are examples of “negative” pathways you can get rid of by creating new neuropathways through Neuroplasticity.
– Serotonin and Dopamine can be both critical when hacking Neuroplasticity. Gratitude can be a fantastic tool for it.
– Conscious and Sub-conscious mind
– Only 5% of the time you are in the Conscious mind
– Subconscious mind represent the remaining 95% of our behaviour throughout the day
– How can you reprogram your subconscious mind: a shift in perception, psychedelics and more
– Most of your sub-conscious behaviours were “programmed” in your early days
– Psilocybin and depression.
