That mattress you’ve had for 8 years? It might be aging you.Derek Hales from Nap Lab shares what 500+ mattress tests reveal about support, toxins, cooling, & durability & how the wrong materials quietly wreck sleep, joints, & long-term health.📕  Video chapters 0:00 Introduction 03:30 Make smarter mattress buying decisions 08:10 Use objective testing to separate hype from performance 12:32 Choose healthier materials & avoid hidden risks 14:03 Match firmness & build to your body 18:27 Extend mattress lifespan with proper care 32:15 Keep sleep simple & focus on consistency🔗 Links - Full episode show notes: https://outliyr.com/249 - Music by Alexander Tomashevsky: soundcloud.com/alexunderthesky📝 Frequently updated resources on bioharmonizing sleep: https://outliyr.com/topics/sleep🎤 Get weekly insider secrets from world-class experts: https://www.youtube.com/@highperformancelongevity?sub_confirmation=1🔔 Subscribe for more free "biohacking" Human Performance tips, product reviews, and the latest info: https://www.youtube.com/@outliyr?sub_confirmation=1🚀 Tools, products, & services I recommend: https://outliyr.com/shop🔥 Join my VIP club - It's a weekly newsletter sharing Human Performance tips, biohacking news, freebies, and more! https://outliyr.com/vip📝 About our guest NapLab began when founder Derek & his wife Samantha searched for an affordable mattress in 2014 & started reviewing their experiences online. What began as a hobby site called Sleepopolis quickly grew into a full testing operation, expanding from a one-bedroom apartment into a dedicated review facility. Derek & his team have now tested over 500 mattresses, helping millions make smarter purchasing decisions.🔑 Key takeaways - Online mattress shopping delivers better value for money, while in-store testing helps gauge feel—understand both limitations before buying - Higher price does not guarantee higher quality The $1,500–$2,000 range offers the best balance of durability & performance - Flashy claims like cooling or organic often serve marketing more than real sleep improvement - Cooling, motion transfer, edge support, & pressure relief drive the biggest real-world impact on rest & recovery - Data-driven mattress testing separates hype from measurable performance & durability - Latex materials & GOTS or GOLS certifications signal lower-tox construction—organic covers alone fall short - Medium-firm suits most sleepers, but body weight & sleep style determine ideal firmness - Quality mattresses last close to a decade, with latex models lasting the longest - High-quality pillows & washable protectors extend product life & improve sleep hygiene - Rotating your mattress regularly & washing sheets weekly preserve comfort, cleanliness, & long-term performance🙏 Support the show - Subscribe: https://outliyr.com/subscribe - Leave an Apple Podcast review: https://outliyr.com/rate-podcastDo you have questions, thoughts or feedback?

🧠 What if recovery wasn’t just about muscles… but your mind?When most people hear “recovery,” they think injury, soreness, or physical healing.But Jake Ross explains that one of the most overlooked forms of recovery is mental recovery. The ability to reset your nervous system, restore focus, and reduce stress on demand.With customizable PEMF frequencies targeting different brainwave ranges, recovery can look like:👉 Energizing your morning for sharper focus 👉 Enhancing meditation for deeper nervous system reset 👉 Supporting mental clarity without stimulantsRecovery isn’t just about fixing what’s broken.It’s about restoring balance before burnout begins.🎧 Tune in to Episode 246 of the High Performance Longevity Podcast with Jake Ross to learn more about:✅ How brainwave-focused PEMF sessions work ✅ Why mental recovery is just as important as physical recovery ✅ Customizing sessions for energy, calm, or focus#mentalrecovery #pemf #nervoussystem #focus #longevity #biohacking #highperformancelongevity #outliyr #healthyline #Pemfmats

🔴 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. But most people use it in isolation.Jake Ross explains why stacking red light with PEMF + far infrared creates a more powerful environment for recovery & longevity.🎧 Tune in to Episode 246 of the High Performance Longevity Podcast with Jake Ross to learn more about:✅ How PEMF complements photobiomodulation ✅ The role of far infrared in recovery ✅ Why stacking modalities enhances results#redlighttherapy #recoverytools #longevity #biohacking #pemf #infraredtherapy #highperformancelongevity #outliyr #healthyline
🧠 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
🧠 What if your brain isn’t underperforming… you’re just not measuring it correctly?Most people assume their cognition is “fine.”But according to decades of research... including methods developed by NASA, many people operate at 60–70% of their true cognitive capacity without realizing it.Dexter Ang explains how reaction time became the gold-standard way to measure brain performance across aerospace, medicine, & neuroscience & why it reveals far more than IQ or subjective feeling.🎧 Episode 244 of the High Performance Longevity Podcast breaks down:✅ Why reaction time reflects real-world cognition ✅ How NASA standardized cognitive performance testing ✅ What brain optimization actually means (and how it’s measured)#brainperformance #cognition #reactiontime #neuroscience #mentalperformance #longevity #biohacking #highperformancelongevity #outliyr

TUDCA supports toxin elimination through bile acid metabolism. It originates from UDCA produced in the liver and transformed by gut bacteria.#TUDCA #detoxification #bileacids
TUDCA is a bile acid that helps emulsify fats, enabling proper absorption of vitamins A, D, E, and K. Without bile function, nutrient status declines.#tudca #fatabsortion #bileacid
If you’re going to use adaptogens, start simple, track your response, and give your body about two weeks to respond before changing anything. #adaptogens #supplementsafety #healthtips
Some adaptogens boost energy and endurance, others improve mood, sleep, recovery, and even support longevity and anti-aging. #adaptogens #performance #longevity
Adaptogens help balance hormones, boost energy without the crash, and make the body more resilient to stress by regulating cortisol and the HPA axis. #adaptogens #stressrelief #healthtips
These are the most popular adaptogens everyone talks about, but each one works on the body in a completely different way.#adaptogens #supplements #wellness
