i spend a lot of time trying to figure
out how to combine ancestral science
wandering around in the forest finding
the the berries and the herbs and the
ancestral wisdom that informs us about
longevity and i combine that with a
little dose of biohacking meaning i'm
completely open to the idea of better
living through science sticking laser
lights up your nose and wearing strange
caps and doing a lot of things that i'll
teach you about today so they get you
get that that ultimate marriage of
ancestral wisdom
and modern science to enhance longevity
so for example to enhance the left and
right hemispheric activity in the brain
you can get these balanced devices i
have one called a fluid stance a fluid
stance and you can stand on these when
you're working during the day and it
actually challenges your balance just a
little bit as you're standing and typing
and it's a great way to hack your
environment and to keep your brain
turned on during the day another one is
to move and still be able to work i use
a software on my computer called dragon
dictate dragon dictate and this one is
fantastic for allowing you to record and
to get accurate transcription of what
you're saying while you're still able to
move and do things like balance or walk
on a treadmill while you're doing your
work during the day the next one is a
special stretch that a guy named dr
david beck the inventor of the bosu ball
taught me it's called the coil i do this
on airplanes i do it when i'm working
it's one of the best full body stretches
you can do you put one leg back behind
you like this you bend the other one and
you reach over your head like this i'll
put a full video on the show notes page
for for this uh for this talk but
basically this coil exercise is one that
i've been doing a lot of again i'm
trying to show you guys some of the
newer things that i've discovered of
late fantastic exercise for kind of
keeping the body fully stretched
throughout the day on another one is
golf ball rolling your feet affect
everything from the space
in in your chest where your lungs reside
to your posture your symmetry the health
of your hips and your knees so i keep a
golf ball right on my desk and every
once in a while during the day i'll roll
one foot and then roll the other foot so
that my feet are giving me a good stable
platform and i'm maintaining the
strength of my feet during the day so
the golf ball trick is a really really
good one for body symmetry and the
health of the entire system
