Cells have memory, allowing them to recognize & react to past stimuli for survival
The default mode network (DMN), formed by brain regions, shapes our sense of self & internal dialogue
Sound can alter consciousness, enabling immersive, transformative experiences, as demonstrated by Robert Monroe
Introducing multiple stimuli can induce states where we lose our sense of self positively
Neurofeedback trains the brain by reinforcing desired responses & inhibiting unwanted ones, reshaping brain activity
Gamma brainwaves during deep sleep help cerebrospinal fluid cleanse the brain, preventing cognitive decline
The visual cortex occupies the most brain real estate, emphasizing the importance of visual stimuli
The brain is wired to notice novelty, making new & different stimuli essential for engagement
Wearable devices like TENS clips can be stacked with most practices, except neurofeedback, without disrupting light pathways to the eyes

The simple, guided, and actionable Outliyr Longevity Challenge helps you unlock your longevity potential, slow biological aging, and maximize your healthspan
Key takeaways
Your genetics, or DNA code, act as your hardware—unchanging & responsible for about 20% of your phenotypic outcomes
Epigenetics, the software of your genetics, control how genes are expressed. They are modifiable & account for 80% of health outcomes
Most genomic testing companies analyze the same genetic positions, but the key difference lies in interpretation
Epigenetics serve as a reliable biomarker, providing a running average of the past 3–6 months. They are stable yet adaptable
Blood labs can mislead if not done thoroughly, regularly, or analyzed for long-term trends. Variability in lab results can create the illusion of issues where none exist
Biological age clocks predict future health outcomes using biomarkers, but their value depends on how well they forecast specific diseases
Epigenetics integrate other aging factors, refined by how the algorithms are trained
Episode Highlights
7:39 Understanding The Difference Between Genetics & Epigenetics
15:03 Hierarchy of Diagnostics & Testing
26:58 Advantages & Disadvantages of Data Tracking & Wearable Technology
