Understanding Modafinil and other Smart Drugs. How they enhance mental performance with Dr Jonathan Wisor, PhD

The Neuro Experience

09/12/22 • 51 min

Cognitive enhancing drugs are claimed to improve cognitive functions such as learning and attention. However, little is known presently about the characteristics of off-prescription cognitive enhancing drug users or their perceived everyday experience with these drugs. Modafinil has been the drugs of desire for a long time now. If you ever saw the Bradley Cooper movie called limitless, you probably wish you had access to this drug.

Laboratory studies have even shown that it may have potent antioxidative and neuroprotective effects. Modafinil is also of a high interest to the US military for enhancing alertness and reducing battle fatigue.

So why isn’t everybody on this drug? Well In today's podcast, I host a guest who knows more about the science of modafinil than anyone. Dr Jonathan Wisor who is a professor of cell biology at Washington state university and researchers circadian rhythms.

Understand Your Hormones for Improved Health with Dr Kyle Gillette, MD

The Neuro Experience

08/15/22 • 57 min

Hormones are like a symphony, with each one acting as a specialized instrument to keep our bodies in tune.

But as we age, those instruments start to get a little rusty. Small changes over time create a variety of imbalances, until one day we wake up realizing we’re flat and out of tune. This leads to things like menopausal symptoms in women, hair loss and belly fat in men, thyroid dysfunction, bone loss, and so much more.

That’s why it’s never too early, or too late, to start optimizing hormonal balance.
To day I am interviewing Dr. Kyle Gillett, MD, a dual board-certified physician in family medicine and obesity medicine and an expert in optimizing hormone levels to improve overall health and well-being in both men and women.
In this episode we discuss:
PART I

The 6 pillars of hormone optimisation
What genetic tests tell us about hormones
Sleep and hormone production

PART II

Female hormone optimisation
Hormones and fertility
Hormone optimisation for female athletes
Metabolic syndrome in women
The menopausal women- what is happening and the link between Alzheimers Disease
What tests women should be ordering

PART III

Male hormone optimisation
Low sperm count and low testosterone levels
Fertility - sperm count
Why men take testosterone and is this leading to cancer?
Sleep optimisation

The episode is rich with scientific mechanisms and tools for you all to consider.

Stress Proof Your Brain - Dr Mithu Storoni MD, PhD

The Neuro Experience

07/12/22 • 53 min

The brain is a fascinating and complex organ. It’s the primary control center for our whole body, and it can be affected by stress in many different ways. Stress itself is an important part of life – it helps us prepare for danger or respond to emergencies. But when we’re constantly stressed out, that’s when our brain starts to pay the price. This blog post will explore how stress affects your brain, both positively and negatively, so you can develop strategies to reduce your brain’s vulnerability to its harmful effects.
In this episode I speak with Dr Mithu Storoni, an eye surgeon & neuroscience researcher-turned writer. She is the author of "Stress Proof".
This episode taught me so much about the neurobiology of stress and how to combat stress in your life.

Sixth Brain Cancer Death Among Ex-Phillies players - What is a Glioblastoma?

The Neuro Experience

05/24/22 • 7 min

The deaths of six former Philadelphia Phillies players from brain cancer since 2003 have sparked concerns over the playing surface and radar guns at the team's former stadium - and now one doctor is calling for an investigation.
Interestingly, there has been an outbreak of glioblastomas at a local New Jersey High School resulting in 107 cases of glioblastomas at this school.

Glioblastoma is an aggressive type of cancer that can occur in the brain or spinal cord. Glioblastoma forms from cells called astrocytes that support nerve cells. Glioblastoma can occur at any age, but tends to occur more often in older adults. It can cause worsening headaches, nausea, vomiting and seizures.

WHOOP Masterclass with VP of Performance Kristen Holmes

The Neuro Experience

05/23/22 • 91 min

I have been dying to do this podcast, it’s been quite a long time coming. As many of you know I have been wearing a WHOOP strap for many years to track and measure my performance.
This strap is pretty much a self-quantification device and allows me to measure my sleep, HRV, recovery, exercise and much more. The thing I love most about this company is the amount of research that is being done on the back end.
WHOOP as a company partners with well known physicians and scientists with well known labs across the world to quantify their data. So I thought it would be time that I brought their VP of performance on the podcast, Kristen Holmes.
This episode is everyone you need to know regarding WHOOP.
