🧠 What if chronic disease doesn’t start in the brain… but in the gut?For decades, medicine focused on killing infections with antibiotics. But as Dr. Blaser’s research on H. pylori showed, something unexpected happened alongside that progress:👉 We didn’t just eliminate pathogens 👉 We depleted the microbiome that regulates the bodyMartha Carlin explains how this shift opened the door to chronic, noncommunicable diseases, and why the gut acts like a “general ledger” for health.🎧 Tune in to Episode 243 of the High Performance Longevity Podcast with Martha Carlin to listen to learn more about:✅ How antibiotics reshaped the microbiome ✅ Why we’re more microbial than human ✅ The gut’s role in neurological and metabolic disease#guthealth #microbiome #chronicdisease #brainhealth #longevity #biohacking #highperformancelongevity #outliyr

🧠 Tired of health solutions that promise everything… and deliver nothing?Santiago Brand takes a refreshingly honest approach: no therapy works for everyone — ncluding neurofeedback and biofeedback. And pretending otherwise is part of the problem.👉 Readiness of the nervous system 👉 The *right* protocol for the right person 👉 Clear expectations grounded in evidence 👉 Respecting both research and realworld experienceThis isn’t about miracle cures.It’s about finding the middle ground where science, clinical data, and lived results overlap, and using those tools responsibly to help people who *can* benefit.🎙 In EP 241, Santiago Brand explains:✅ What neurofeedback can & can’t do ✅ Why honest limitations matter in health tech ✅ How to evaluate research vs anecdotes ✅ Using biofedback responsibly, not blindly#neurofeedback #brainhealth #biofeedback #healthtech #stressresilience #mentalperformance #longevity #highperformancelongevity #outliyr
🧠 Ever wonder why some people stay steady under pressure… while others shut down?Santiago Brand explains that performance isn’t about eliminating stress, it’s about selfregulation.When your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are aligned, you can function well even when life is hard. Santiago breaks down why real regulation must be personalized:👉 Everyone has a different baseline 👉 Different stress capacities 👉 Different strengths and limits 👉 Different paths to resilienceThat’s why neurofeedback and HRV training aren’t about forcing calm… they’re about training *your* system to respond better over time.🎙 EP 241 – With Santiago Brand talks about:✅ What selfregulation actually means ✅ Why performance comes from alignment, not control ✅ Why personalized nervous system training works ✅ How biofeedback retrains your baseline#neurofeedback #selfregulation #brainhealth #stressresilience #hrvtraining #mentalperformance #longevity #highperformancelongevity #outliyr
Ever wonder how elite athletes stay calm under pressure?Santiago Brand explains how brain mapping, neurofeedback, & HRV training build focus, emotional control, & consistent high performance without relying on stimulants or shortcuts.📕  Video chapters 00:00 How biofeedback trains self regulation at the physiological level 04:20 How neurofeedback changes brain baselines long term 05:32 Why personalization matters in brain & nervous system training 10:13 How heart brain coherence drives performance & resilience 21:17 What neurofeedback sessions actually look like in practice 29:30 How to integrate wearables research & real world results🔗 Links Full episode show notes: https://outliyr.com/241 Music by Alexander Tomashevsky: soundcloud.com/alexunderthesky📝 Frequently updated article on HRV: https://outliyr.com/hrvtraining📝 Frequently updated article on Neurofeedback training: https://outliyr.com/neurofeedbacktherapybraintrainingbenefits🎤 Get weekly insider secrets from worldclass 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 The ShowI’m Nick Urban, host of the High Performance Longevity Podcast, where I explore grounded, evidenceinformed approaches to optimizing health, energy, performance, and lifespan without chasing trends or quick fixes.New episodes weekly featuring experts in longevity, BioHarmony (biohacking 3.0), metabolism, performance, ancestral health, and personal development.📝 About our guest Santiago Brand is a sports & clinical psychologist with over sixteen years of experience specializing in biofeedback, neurofeedback, qEEG brain mapping & BrainSpotting.

😴 Struggling to fall asleep… waking up tired… or feeling “off” all day?You don’t need an hourlong routine to fix your body clock.Carrie Bennett explains that just 3–5 minutes of the right light exposure, done consistently, can start retraining your circadian rhythm. The key isn’t duration, it’s timing and consistency.Here’s why this works:👉 Light is the strongest signal for your internal clock 👉 Even brief exposure can shut down melatonin at the right time 👉 Small, repeatable habits outperform long routines people won’t stick to 👉 Consistency creates faster circadian entrainment than intensity🎙 In EP 240, Carrie shares why “minimum effective dose” matters for reallife compliance — and how simple light habits can ripple into better sleep, energy, and hormone signaling.✅ How light retrains your circadian rhythm ✅ Why 3–5 minutes can be enough ✅ Practical light habits that actually stick#biohacking #circadianrhythm #sleephealth #lighthealth #quantumbiology #energyhealth #highperformancelongevity #outliyr
💤 Trouble sleeping… low energy… brain fog that won’t quit?It might not be stress or age, it could be your light environment.Carrie Bennett explains that most modern lighting looks nothing like sunlight. When you analyze it with a spectrometer, artificial light is missing huge portions of the spectrum your biology expects.Here’s why that matters:👉 LEDs are heavily skewed toward blue light 👉 Missing wavelengths mean missing signals for hormones, mitochondria & circadian timing 👉 Your body reads light as biological information, not just brightness🎙 In EP 240, Carrie Bennett breaks down why modern lighting confuses your nervous system, disrupts sleep, and drains energy and how restoring fullspectrum light cues helps your body recalibrate naturally.✅ Why artificial light is biologically foreign ✅ The role of infrared & missing wavelengths ✅ Practical ways to clean up your light environment#biohacking #circadianrhythm #lighthealth #quantumbiology #mitochondria #sleephealth #highperformancelongevity #outliyr

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 antiaging. #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
Adaptogens only qualify if they meet these 3 rules. Most supplements don’t, so here’s the smart way to spot the real ones.#adaptogens #wellness #healthtips
One night of drinking tanked my performance for days so I started searching for cleaner alternatives that mimic alcohol’s effects without wrecking my biomarkers. Here’s what actually worked. #alcoholalternative #biohacking #healthtips
Magnolia bark contains a compound called DHHB a natural ingredient shown to relax you like strong calming drugs but without the addiction or impairment. A cleaner way to unwind.#biohacking #alcohol #stressrelief
Alcohol impacts far more than just your liver. From your microbiome to your sleep, performance, and immunity this clip breaks down the real effects you never hear about.#alcohol #healthtips #biohacking
Everyone’s chasing longevity. Tracking sleep, fasting, cold plunges, supplements. But here’s the truth: most of what’s sold as “sciencebacked” longevity is just biohacker theater. It looks impressive, but doesn’t move the needle longterm. #longevity #biohacking #wellness
