Decoding Superhuman

In a world of countless social networks and opportunities to be someone you are not, how do you stay true to your self and aligned with your values? Highlights[3:54] Defining identity[4:41] Diets and identity[8:13] How does identity create anxiety[9:21] Alignment and identity[12:06] Do you need identity anymore?[19:07] Ikigai  ResourcesWhy is Everybody Suddenly so AnxiousRa OpticsThe Ultimate Jim Rohn LibraryIkigai by Hector Garcia  Our sponsor for today’s show is one of the two brands of blue light blockers that I actually recommend using. I’ve had the CEO Matt Maruca on the show before and we got into a two-hour long discussion, which I think to this day is the longest episode of the Decoding Superhuman podcast. But his company raw optics has made blue light blockers sexy. And the beauty of their product is that blue light doesn’t get in. If any amount of blue light gets in, that Netflix show you’re watching late at night, that book that you’re reading on your iPad, that email that you’re answering, is disrupting your sleep.So where do you get yours?

Andreas Breitfeld discusses perpetual jetlag, life without hormones, and recovery from the road. As the Head of KTC Lab, Andreas created an incredible EMF-blocking travel pant to benefit road warriors worldwide.Who is Andreas Breitfeld?No question, traveling is fun and what better way to broaden your horizons than by traveling the world? If you want to get to know other people, cultures and other markets, you have to leave your home behind from time to time. When Andreas started his own business about 15 years ago with a PR and marketing agency, it was clear to me from the very beginning how important it was to be as close as possible to everything that was happening in my industry around the globe.  The concept worked and with the success of the agency, Andreas' travel volume increased as well. In some years, Andreas visited the USA, Canada, China and South Korea more often than France or Italy in his entire life. At some point, Andreas realized that adapting to new time zones was harder and harder. He had massive problems recovering at all. Increasing sleep problems, food intolerances, heavy metal poisoning, leaky gut, too much cortisol at first, then probably no cortisol at all at some point - his lifestyle took its toll. Andreas' travel problems peaked parallel to the introduction of the Skynet, i.e. the wireless networks in the airplane. Andreas sat one day in Thailand at the beach and had to admit to himself that, despite the success, he was physically and increasingly mentally completely down.  Andreas began to do research and was amazed at much of the knowledge he gained. And he realized that he needed help. Luckily Andreas found understanding, the right support and the way (back) to biohacking. This already fascinated him as the first fitness editor of Shape magazine. As in the past, it fascinates Andreas not only to understand things theoretically, but also to try them out in practice. Thanks to a happy combination of perseverance and willingness to take risks, Andreas managed to get back to his starting point within nine months. As Head of the Lab at KTC LAB, Andreas sees it as his task to collect and pass on knowledge, experiences, and tips on the subject of "safer and better travel". In addition, Andreas is pleased that through and together with KTC Unlimited he have the opportunity to develop textile solutions for a wide variety of biohacks. KTC Lab is currently working on the completion of a collection that will not only enable frequent flyers to shield their bodies from additional stressors such as EMFs. KTC Lab is also exploring strategies to accelerate regeneration and provide all the tools to meet the challenges of an active, global lifestyle.Highlights[3:18] Being perpetually jet lagged[8:05] Skynet[13:26] Life with 0 cortisol[15:01] The effects of constant jet lag[20:25] Finding biohacking and recouperation[29:45] EMF and Airplanes[34:31] Calcium channels[41:14] Creating EMF blocking pants[49:30] Testing the effectiveness of the pants ResourcesKTC LabHealth Optimisation Summit TicketsDr. Joseph MercolaSmartSky Networks5G: Great risk for EU, U.S. and International Health!

Dr. Parsley shares his insights on how to optimize sleep as a high performing professional, using peptides, hormones, and the issues with sleep deprivation. Who is Doc Parsley? Kirk Parsley served as an Undersea Medical Officer at Naval Special Warfare Group One from June 2009 to January 2013. While there, he led the development and supervised the group’s first Sports Medicine Rehabilitation center. He is a former SEAL and received his Medical Degree from Bethesda, Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USUHS) in 2004. He interned in Obstetrics and Gynecology at Balboa Naval Hospital San Diego in 2005 and subsequently completed a Navy residency in Hyperbarics and Diving Medicine in 2006.

Forbes: What Does Heart Rate Variability Tell Me About My Health? Enhancing the Trader's Self-Control The Oura Ring Sponsor The sponsor for this episode is the ring on my finger. No, I’m not married yet. And frankly, before that ring, I hated wearing rings. But I must say the guys at Oura have done a great job. The ring allows me to track all sorts of crazy things about my sleep, including my resting heart rate, my deep sleep stages, my REM sleep, etc, etc. I really enjoy the feedback and allows me to make lifestyle decisions to become a higher performer. Let me give you an example. So prior to getting the ordering, I would fast essentially 16 hours after my last meal. It didn’t matter when that last meal was. However, when I look at my resting heart rate, and how that really correlates to my performance The next day, I know I want my lowest resting heart rate coming as soon as possible after going to sleep because that’s when all my recovery really starts. So what did I do? Well, it allowed me to adjust really when my last meal was before going to bed. So I have my last meal. Now, earlier in the night, I get better sleep, I get higher quality sleep. And I must say the next day feels amazing. So if you want to check out the Oura Ring and if you want to pick one up yourself, go to Oura's website.

Can one device eliminate your jet lag forever? Jari Koponen discusses the value of the Human Charger in battling the winter blues and jet lag. Who is Jari Koponen? Jari Koponen is a Brand Ambassador of HumanCharger. Before joining HumanCharger in 2014, Jari spent more than a decade in different roles in the automation industry delivering and taking care of systems in the mining sector. After that, between 2012 and 2014, he was full time at home with kids. While Jari very much enjoyed the global mining business, it was the constant long haul traveling that eventually motivated Jari to change the direction of his career. For a period of time, the opportunity to travel the world and to visit exotic mines (gold, copper, platinum, and others) in some of the most remote places on earth felt like a privilege for Jari but eventually the almost never-ending jet-lag and long stretches away from home was not worth the effort. Nevertheless, it was that first hand experience with the jet lag that connected Jari with the HumanCharger. When Jari had an opportunity to use the HumanCharger in 2013, while travelling cross 9 time zones, his experience with that "strange device" was so positive (he felt hardly any jet lag!) that after the trip, Jari made it clear to the HumanCharger team that he wants to join them and go out to tell everyone what an amazing device HumanCharger is. And since then Jari has been on mission! In his role at HumanCharger, Jari is responsible of the marketing efforts (among other things) and you can find him for example at HumanCharger booth at conferences around the world. Jari has a Master of Technology degree in Electrical Engineering from Helsinki University of Technology (today Aalto University, Finland) and MBA from Helsinki School of Economics (also today Aalto University). Jari lives in Switzerland with his wife, two kids and a puppy. Highlights [5:32] How big is the winter blues issue?

No, I’m not married yet. And frankly, before that ring, I hated wearing rings. But I must say the guys at Oura have done a great job. The ring allows me to track all sorts of crazy things about my sleep, including my resting heart rate, my deep sleep stages, my REM sleep, etc, etc. I really enjoy the feedback and allows me to make lifestyle decisions to become a higher performer. Let me give you an example. So prior to getting the ordering, I would fast essentially 16 hours after my last meal. It didn’t matter when that last meal was. However, when I look at my resting heart rate, and how that really correlates to my performance The next day, I know I want my lowest resting heart rate coming as soon as possible after going to sleep because that’s when all my recovery really starts. So what did I do? Well, it allowed me to adjust really when my last meal was before going to bed. So I have my last meal. Now, earlier in the night, I get better sleep, I get higher quality sleep. And I must say the next day feels amazing. So if you want to check out the Oura Ring and if you want to pick one up yourself, go to ouraring.com and plug in the code Boomer and you’ll get $50 off your order or 50 euros, depending on your jurisdiction. I really hope you enjoy the ring. Disclaimer This information is being provided to you for educational and informational purposes only.

Skip Kelly is a corrective exercise specialist, trainer of Olympic athletes, and founder and CEO of the Prehab Dojo. Prehabing may help you with current injuries, get you ready for the day, or even improve cognition. “When you're prehabing your spine to decompress it, you're realistically compressing it at a high intensity. That will allow it to decompress itself if it wants to.” Skip Kelly Who is Skip Kelly? Skip Kelly ditched his life being a corrective exercise specialist to travel the globe building education companies and creating world-class courses to eventually return and create a digital product to ensure we all didn’t need professionals like him anymore.

No, I’m not married yet. And frankly, before that ring, I hated wearing rings. But I must say the guys at Oura have done a great job. The ring allows me to track all sorts of crazy things about my sleep, including my resting heart rate, my deep sleep stages, my REM sleep, etc, etc. I really enjoy the feedback and allows me to make lifestyle decisions to become a higher performer. Let me give you an example. So prior to getting the Oura Ring, I would fast 16 hours after my last meal. It didn’t matter when that last meal was. When I look at my resting heart rate, and how that really correlates to my performance the next day, I know I want my lowest resting heart rate coming as soon as possible after going to sleep because that’s when all my recovery really starts. So what did I do? Well, it allowed me to adjust really when my last meal was before going to bed. So I have my last meal. Now, earlier in the night, I get better sleep, I get higher quality sleep. And I must say the next day feels amazing. If you want to check out the Oura Ring and if you want to pick one up yourself, go to ouraring.com and plug in the code Boomer and you’ll get $50 off your order or 50 euros, depending on your jurisdiction. I really hope you enjoy the ring. Disclaimer: This information is being provided to you for educational and informational purposes only.

Dr. David Heitmann joins the podcast to discuss the elements of injury, injury rehabilitation, programming for the long-term, and stoic philosophy. “I just said, "screw it!" I changed my mindset. I said I'm in control of my own destiny. And I started focusing on my health instead of the business. It changed my whole world around.” Dr. David Heitmann Who is Dr. David Heitmann The path to high performance doesn't come without bumps in the roads. Dr. Heitmann had 14 broken bones and torn ligaments, his foot chopped up in a lawnmower, nerve traction injuries, debilitating sciatic pain, and even a period in his life which could be described as an "overstressed dark time." Dr. Dave experienced severe depression, brain fog, fatigue, digestive issues, joint pain, swelling, stress fractures, and even had 3 teeth crack in half which had to be removed. All of these amazing experiences have taught him about the journey of health. Dr. David Heitmann's obsession with health and performance started out of a love for football in 4th grade. Dr. Dave was a 5 sport athlete growing up and played competitive football and rugby until he was 27. College allowed him to geek out on with a double major in biochemistry and molecular biology. As if that was not enough, he also did research in biomechanics and energetics. From there, Dr. Dave went to get his Doctor of Chiropractic along with a Masters in Sports Science and Rehabilitation completing 600 hours of training around Clinical Exercise Physiologist and Certified Strength and Conditioning. In his 10 years of owning a sports medicine clinic, he's treated 4700 patients. Dr. Dave was the medical director of 12 sports teams and provided athletic training services for most of them.

Frank Llosa discusses ketone esters, racemic versus non-racemic ketone salts, and why you should really pay attention to those terms on the label of exogenous ketones. “It costs so much more to be non-racemic. They are going to put it on the package. They’re not going to accidentally sell you something that costs them 10 times more.” Frank Llosa   Who is Frank Llosa? Frank Llosa is the founder and CEO of KetoneAid – the same ketone ester company that raised over $150,000 on Indiegogo (5X their projected target!) to continue research on their ketone ester product. They had so many people pre-order the product, that they had to stop the offer. He got into the wide world of ketones after his wife’s godfather – the creator of the exogenous ketone Dr. Richard Veech tapped him on the shoulder. Key Highlights of the Podcast Resources Mentioned Sponsor Frank came on the show because he wants all superhumans out there to have a chance to try Ketone Esters.
