SHOW NOTESTwo big reasons for having today's guest on the show, and how I've been using Sanbo Zen meditation to stay mentally engaged and emotionally grounded during the pandemic. [00:00]Who is Andrew Huberman? [03:35]What's new and exciting in the world of neuroscience: how did we get here, who's getting involved, and where are we going? [05:26]What practical applications of neuroscientific discoveries does Andrew see becoming available in the not-too-distant future? [13:37]What is the vagus nerve, and how can it be manipulated to promote physical and mental well-being? [16:25]The therapeutic potential of neuromodulation and how it compares to traditional treatments. [24:46]Does treating neurological disorders (such as depression) with these new technologies last over the long haul, and is there concern they're just relieving symptoms without addressing their root causes? [27:06]Until this technology becomes available to consumers, what does Andrew suggest for people looking to improve their mood, hone their focus, and feel more productive? [31:53]Why exposing yourself to bright, natural light early in the day is essential for establishing optimal sleep patterns, how much is ideal, and why getting outside for your daily dose is key. [34:36]Why Andrew doesn't endorse blue-light blocking glasses to alleviate the effects of late-night exposure, and what he recommends instead. [38:46]Breathing exercises for stress reduction: physiological sighs contrasted with the Wim Hof method. [42:07]A practice Andrew considers to be "the one that has had the greatest effect on everything from ability to buffer stress [to] learning and memory": yoga nidra, or NSDR (non-sleep deep rest). [49:04]Nostril breathing versus mouth breathing. [52:32]How it's currently believed the glymphatic system works to remove neurotoxic waste from our brains as we sleep, protecting us against degenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease. [57:29]Why Andrew does not recommend melatonin supplements for sleep -- and what he uses instead. [1:01:29]Supplements that may increase testosterone. [1:06:31]The pros and possible cons of creatine. [1:08:04]Why men shouldn't treat estrogen like an enemy, and what we should know about turmeric's effect on DHT. [1:08:44]Why there's no catch-all supplement to increase "cognitive" function, and one of the surprising compounds some of Andrew's Nobel-winning colleagues take for focus that he doesn't personally recommend. [1:10:15]Some cognitive-boosting supplements Andrew does recommend (and a few more he definitely does not). [1:11:54]Parting thoughts.

Yoseph Ayele is an entrepreneur who, for almost seven years, has been building the Edmund Hillary Fellowship and the Global Impact Visa -- an immigration program and a fellowship community combined together to catalyze positive change from Aotearoa (New Zealand).Yoseph joins us to discuss how his own lousy experience as an aspiring legal immigrant to the United States galvanized a movement for systematic reform and established New Zealand as a base of operations for skilled ex-pats like him to change the world.SELECTED LINKS AND RESOURCESGlobal Impact Visa (GIVs) | Immigration New ZealandEdmund Hillary FellowshipYoseph Ayele | TwitterYoseph Ayele | LinkedInYoseph Ayele | MediumYoseph Ayele: The Way We Think About Immigration is Flawed | TEDxAuckland1983–1985 Famine in Ethiopia | WikipediaWelcome, Entrepreneurs | Harvard GazetteInflection8 Things to Consider When Collecting Stamps | ChubbA Mister Rogers Postage Stamp, and a Legacy That’s Anything But Make-Believe | The New York TimesAnts Build Complex Structures With a Few Simple Rules | Quanta MagazineLeading Change From The Edge Of The Map | Yoseph Ayele, Edmund Hillary FellowshipEnspiralSteve Jobs: "Death is Very Likely the Best Single Invention of Life.

[00:00]Where did Yoseph's journey as an entrepreneur begin, how did his dreams of living in the United States falter (in spite of being a Harvard graduate with a Silicon Valley job), and what made him set his sights on New Zealand as the home where he now hangs his hat? [02:25]How did young Yoseph's parents foster an environment for exploration and learning? [10:12]What inspired Yoseph's comparison of the value of diversity to the health of a thriving ecosystem? [12:16]How does Yoseph practically apply the principles of an ecosystem to a business (even when one of those principles might be what Steve Jobs called "life's change agent": death)? [15:37]What was Yoseph's point of entry when he decided upon New Zealand as the next chapter in his journey, and what convinced him that doing things the "number eight wire" way was better than the Silicon Valley approach with which he was already familiar? [19:49]Examples of what "number eight wire" looks like applied to the real world of New Zealand entrepreneurship. [22:58]Why does Yoseph believe New Zealand fosters such a strong spirit of scrappy resourcefulness? [25:19]Yoseph explains how his team's networking efforts expanded into what he refers to as ecosystem bridges -- bringing in new talent from overseas and recapturing talent from over a million expatriated New Zealanders. [27:15]How does Yoseph propose selling the upsides of immigration and diversity to communities that may be set in their ways and fearful of change -- even when that change is positive? [30:52]How did the Global Impact Visa go from idea to law in the breakneck policy pace of 12 months, and how did working with the New Zealand government differ from that of comparable bureaucracy in the United States? [34:03]Since the most innovative candidates for immigration don't always look impressive on paper, and aspirants who appear promising at first glance may only excel at filling out applications, what did Yoseph's team do to ensure quality control without falling into the checkboxes trap he'd encountered in the United States? [40:04]Yoseph points out that being an immigrant is one of the most entrepreneurial-spirited endeavors a human being can take on. How the success of the Global Impact Visa led to what became the community-building Edmund Hillary Fellowship. [42:59]How many applicants has EHF had in the past four years, and how many have been accepted? What are the markers that indicate a good fit during the selection process? [46:01]What fruits have formed after four years of labor, and what does Yoseph hope to see for EHF's next four years and beyond -- for its fellows and community? [48:59]How can EHF work to preserve the values that make New Zealand society so appealing and unique while simultaneously reaping the benefits of recruiting outside thinking? [51:58]Immigration as diplomacy: what the rest of the world can learn from these efforts. [55:11]Why does Yoseph believe New Zealand has been so successful in tackling COVID compared to how it's been handled virtually everywhere else? Will the country's tempered judgment and good fortune prevail when faced with future catastrophes? [58:56]Parting thoughts, and what listeners interested in emigrating to New Zealand can do to begin their own journey.

[01:36] What changes our metabolic health as we age, and what drew Josh's attention to this as a serious issue? [03:58] With so many dietary choices available, how can we know what will work for our optimal health? Hint: it's highly individual (with a possible exception for people who share an identical twin). [07:52] Why Josh and I constantly monitor our own glucose levels even though we're not diabetic or even pre-diabetic, and why even the healthiest among us should consider doing the same. [12:16] Why do health providers seem hesitant to prescribe CGMs as a preventative measure? How long does Josh think it's going to be before we see CGMs being available to consumers over the counter, and what are the potential risks to be aware of? [20:22] When 88 percent of American adults are metabolically unhealthy, how do we determine what constitutes a "healthy" blood glucose range? [26:00] How does Josh stay within what he considers a healthy range? [29:16] What physical exercise does Josh consider optimal for maintaining a healthy range, and how close to mealtime is ideal? [31:23] How does Sauna usage affect the data? [35:11] Why we shouldn't take the glycemic index at face value. [36:48] How important is sleep to maintaining healthy blood glucose levels? [38:30] Food combining: how much does it matter if you eat starches before proteins (or vice versa)? [41:38] Does the rate of consumption/chewing make any difference to the data? Will eating an apple affect you differently than drinking a smoothie or juice made with that same apple? [45:41] What supplements might someone take to positively affect their blood glucose levels? [51:03] Josh explains how his company, Levels, aims to help us maximize our metabolic fitness with minimum invasiveness.

Henry Shukman (Ryu’un-ken) is an Associate Zen Master of the Sanbo Zen lineage, based in Kamakura, Japan, and he teaches at the Mountain Cloud Zen Center in Santa Fe, NM. He has trained primarily with Joan Rieck Roshi, Zen teacher John Gaynor, Ruben Habito Roshi, and now continues his training under the guidance of Yamada Ryoun Roshi, current abbot of Sanbo Zen. Henry is dedicated to what he sees as core Zen training — clarifying our essential nature to our own satisfaction, and thereby finding true peace of mind, and then living that essential nature in every moment of daily life, in freedom, love, and deep responsiveness. Henry is a writer and poet of British-Jewish origin, who has published eight books to date, of fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. He writes regularly for Tricycle, The New York Times, and other publications, and his most recent book is One Blade of Grass: Finding the Old Road of the Heart, a Zen Memoir.

[01:30] Henry suffered from extreme eczema for decades. Here's how meditation was instrumental in relieving his condition. [04:38] The pros and cons of Transcendental Meditation (TM) as we understood them, and why we each chose to move on. [09:09] An awakening epiphany Henry experienced around the time he wrote his first book -- before he discovered meditation. [11:00] One problem with epiphanies: they don't come with a user's manual. [17:53] Further musings (and concerns) about TM. [22:22] Henry shares an overview of Zen and how he became involved with it. [25:49] What is a koan? [28:41] Zen vs. psychedelics. [29:48] Can enlightenment be explained by existing language, or does it need to be experienced? [34:25] The "emptiness" of Buddhism, the relief of lightening psychic burdens, and some thoughts on the way our senses process reality. [36:09] Zen is not always about enlightenment, but applying the practice to the practical aspects of our lives. [43:10] What does Henry's Zen practice look like, and how does someone get involved? [45:21] What are the benefits of having a guide when you're learning to meditate? Does Henry consider it necessary for everybody? [47:42] A koan awakening. [52:23] The importance of recognizing life's transformational passages as we encounter them, as well as the beauty of valuing the ordinary. [54:50] How does Henry go from appreciating life's mundane moments to coping with 2020's more sensational aspects like politics and COVID-19? [58:50] Feeling powerless to engage in the political process? Take a lesson from the bodhisattvas and help work toward good without getting wrapped up in potential outcomes. [1:06:04] A deeper dive into koans and how we can work with them. [1:08:13] A computer science guy's approach to understanding koans. [1:12:52] Henry takes us through a few particularly famous koans. [1:16:07] Are koans ever meant to shock a student into enlightenment? [1:20:59] What can we expect from Henry's latest book, One Blade of Grass: Finding the Old Road of the Heart, a Zen Memoir?

"You can think of exercise as an intravenous dose of hope." ~Kelly McGonigalKelly McGonigal (@kellymcgonigal) is a health psychologist and lecturer at Stanford University who specializes in understanding the mind-body connection. As a pioneer in the field of "science-help," her mission is to translate insights from psychology and neuroscience into practical strategies that support personal well-being and strengthen communities.She is the best-selling author of The Willpower Instinct and The Upside of Stress.Through the Stanford Center for Compassion and Altruism, she helped create Stanford Compassion Cultivation Training, a program now taught around the world that helps individuals strengthen their empathy, compassion, and self-compassion.You might know her from her TED talk, "How to Make Stress Your Friend," which is one of the most viewed TED talks of all time, with over 20 million views.Her new book, The Joy of Movement, explores why physical exercise is a powerful antidote to the modern epidemics of depression, anxiety, and loneliness.In this episode, we talk about everything from tai chi to ultra-marathons to dance, and we really get into the science around how these different movements produce chemical changes in our brains that lift our mood and reduce anxiety and depression. Here, Kelly gives us the scoop about something called "hope molecules" and the minimum effective dose of movement required to produce them.Connect with Kelly: Website | Twitter | Facebook | InstagramLinks from this episode:The Joy of Movement: How Exercise Helps Us Find Happiness, Hope, Connection, and Courage by Kelly McGonigalThe Upside of Stress: Why Stress Is Good for You, and How to Get Good at It by Kelly McGonigalOther Books by Kelly McGonigalThe Stanford Center for Compassion and AltruismHow to Make Stress Your Friend by Kelly McGonigal, TEDGlobal 2013StudioNia, PortlandTai Chi: A Gentle Way to Fight Stress, The Mayo ClinicA History and Style Guide of Tae Kwon Do, LiveAboutYoga for Everyone, The New York TimesUltra-Endurance Athletics, The Why?
