🔴 What if your recovery routine didn’t require 3 separate devices?Red light therapy has exploded in popularity & for good reason.It supports circulation, mitochondrial function, & tissue recovery.

🧠 You might be performing at 60–70% and not even know itMost wearables track what already happened: • Steps • Heart rate • Movement • “Neck-down” signalsBut in Episode 244, Dexter Ang explains why true performance starts before all of that… in the brain.Using neural reaction time, his work measures how quickly the brain processes a signal before the body even moves. That single metric has been used for decades to quantify cognitive states across medicine, science, and even aerospace.This approach reveals: ✅ Cognitive readiness ✅ Mental fatigue before burnout hits ✅ Performance capacity across mind, body, and sleepInstead of guessing from trends, it shows what’s actually happening at the source.🎧 Watch the full conversation on the High Performance Longevity Podcast to learn how brain-first measurement changes performance tracking.#brainperformance #wearables #cognitivereadiness #reactiontime #neurotech #biohacking #longevity #highperformancelongevity #outliyr
