If you've been listening to the podcast for any length of time, you've probably noticed

the recurring theme of quantified self-guests on the show, meaning measure thyself, whether

it's resting heart rate, whether it's blood oxygen saturation, CO2 levels at this new

capnometer, whether it's blood glucose levels, I like all these little gizmos and gadgets

and devices, mostly to give myself a little bit of baseline knowledge in terms of where

I'm at. Even if you're not a numbers person, I've yet to meet someone, even again, non-math

and science people, I've yet to meet someone who, when they saw their blood work and it

was explained to them, when they saw their heart rate or their heart rate variability

and it was explained to them, I've yet to meet someone who is not really curious and

inquisitive and wanting to make some changes. We live in a world where imbalance is natural,

and in nature, in undeveloped areas, in the middle of the jungle, there are floods and

rainstorms, there are feast and famine, imbalance is the natural state. This idea of moving towards

balance is very unnatural and it's wonderful. It's a great journey. This is what my body

practices are all about. Our failed attempt to move towards a balanced state. We've never

really talked about EEG. When I say the term EEG, it probably conjures up old black and

white horror movie images of some zombie strap to a chair with little nodes on their hair.

These things still exist. In fact, I got strapped up to an EEG not too many years ago during

a sleep study, but EEG has come a long way and there are now home consumer pro devices

available that can actually measure your brainwaves. Now, they have some limitations, but

they're really getting good. They're getting really, really good. In the same way that

your phone tech sensor has improved massively, so your phone camera can detect all kinds

of things, including your heart rate, which you might not know. These at home EEG sensors
