Inspired by caring for his mother after her ALS diagnosis, he returned to MIT to build sensors that translate wrist biopotentials into digital commands. His work bridges human biology & digital systems across assistive technology, robotics, IoT & defense.🔑 Key takeaways Almost everyone operates at only 60–70% of their brain’s true potential due to low awareness Wrist sensors accurately measure cognitive state & nervous system signals without head worn devices NASA & clinical science use reaction time as the gold standard for measuring cognitive function, readiness, & risk Processing speed, inhibition, & agility are distinct cognitive dimensions, each revealing different aspects of brain health & decision making Reaction time biofeedback training produces measurable gains in attention, discipline, & mood regulation Individual responses vary widely, making personalized protocols far more effective than general advice Strong cognitive performance depends on quality sleep, consistent routines, & circadian rhythm discipline Caffeine improves alertness but often worsens decision inhibition, with effects varying by person & task Knowing personal cognitive highs & lows helps time important work & decisions for peak performance Processing speed training lowers dementia risk & strengthens long term brain resilience more than memory games🙏 Support the show Subscribe: https://outliyr.com/subscribe Leave an Apple Podcast review: https://outliyr.com/ratepodcastDo you have questions, thoughts or feedback?

🧬 What if “leaky gut” isn’t really about the gut lining… but about a damaged protective layer that surrounds every cell?Martha Carlin explains that the glycocalyx is a gellike surface layer that lines the gut, blood vessels, blood–brain barrier, and every organ in the body.But modern life quietly disrupts it:👉 Oversanitization doesn’t just remove microbes👉 Many cleaning chemicals damage the glycocalyx directly👉 “Leaky gut” is often a sign of a compromised glycocalyx, not just the gut itselfWhen this layer breaks down, the body loses one of its primary sensing and regulatory systems.🎧 Tune in to Episode 243 of the High Performance Longevity Podcast with Martha Carlin to learn more about:✅ What the glycocalyx actually does✅ How household chemicals affect gut & immune health✅ Why supporting this layer matters for inflammation, immunity & brain health#guthealth #microbiome #inflammation #immunehealth #glycocalyx #longevity #biohacking #highperformancelongevity #outliyr
🧠 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

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
