everybody welcome to the muscle intelligence podcast i am ban pokolsky as always your host doing my

best to bring me the greatest information on the planet from the greatest individuals on the

planet so that we can all thrive become high achievers and lead this human species into the next

thousand years there's so many things that interest me and the mind is at the top of the list, the mind

and the brain and the nervous system and how all these things integrate into this complete

system that we're living with.

So today's guest is an expert on the mind and heart rate variability and the autonomic nervous system and how

these things integrate.

So here's what that means.

Stress and the way your body senses information is integrated into all the parts.

Your body works as a whole system.

So if these systems become disconnected, your performance will suffer, your ability to think

will suffer, your ability to perform in general will suffer. So Dr. Tim Royer joins me today to talk

about treating things like anxiety and depression and ultimately performance optimization

by looking at the integration of neurofeedback, which is looking at EEG studies of the

brain and combining it with heart rate variability training.

And he gets to work with a lot of high profile athletes and celebrities to teach them

high performance habits and really how to dig into optimization of this mind-body integration.

And if you've ever heard of the place called Heart Math Institute, I suggest you guys

look that up.

And they've got a lot of quantified data around what it looks like when these things, these

systems come into harmonious balance.
