Key takeaways
Trauma narrows emotional responses, preventing both deep sadness & true happiness
The hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis regulates mood & emotional states
Unprocessed negative experiences are buried & transmitted, affecting mental health
Suppressing emotions can lead to physical ailments, like heart disease, as unresolved energy becomes trapped in the nervous system
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

Are you a stress dominant individual looking for a quick way to reduce anxiety & nerves right before your big game, board meeting or a high stake activity? Then vagus nerve stimulation may be the answer.
In today’s episode, Nick Hool, founder and innovator of Hoolest, unfolds the truth about the vagus nerve stimulation & just how crucial your vagal nerve tone & condition is when it comes to your reactions to stress. Discover how he developed a device targeting the vagus nerve that promotes relaxation & reduces stress in under 60 seconds. You’ll learn all that & more in this episode on “Innovating Vagus Nerve Stimulation”
Meet our guest
Nick, a former competitive golfer, shifted his focus to studying stress responses in high-performance individuals after developing debilitating performance anxiety. He earned a Ph.D. in biomedical engineering at ASU, where he explored neuromodulation technologies and discovered the benefits of vagus nerve stimulation for calming the nervous system.
To improve user experience, he developed VeRelief, a portable, high-strength vagus nerve stimulation tool designed for busy professionals seeking effective stress relief. VeRelief is now used by first responders, executives, athletes, doctors, and other high-stress professionals nationwide.

Key takeaways
There are many ways to stimulate the vagus nerve, each with slightly different effects
The vagus nerve connects the brain to the body and helps calm the nervous system during fight-or-flight states
Electrical stimulation is faster and more effective for vagus nerve activation
Stimulating the trigeminal nerve can reduce headache pain and prevent future migraines
Auricular nerve stimulators can be used for 10–20 minutes; simply adjust them until you hit the right spot for effectiveness
Vagus nerve stimulation can reduce stress and anxiety
Vagus nerve stimulation can distract your mind from stress by focusing your attention on the sensation
Sleep issues often have a stress component, such as overthinking, mental chatter, or negative thoughts
Auriculovagus nerve stimulation increases neuroplasticity, enhancing the brain’s ability to learn and retain new information
Using vagus nerve stimulation before practicing a skill improves memory retention and performance
If you have low vagal tone, start gently with electrical stimulation, as it can be overwhelming at first
Visualization can help reduce stress by mentally rehearsing scenarios, making the brain feel like it’s already experienced them
Effective visualization requires time and focus—an hour a day of undistracted practice is necessary to see real benefits
Daily vagus nerve stimulation strengthens emotional regulation, reducing negative responses to future bad memories
