Great sleep upgrades you on virtually every level body fat muscle mass mood brain function and lots of other ways.

One of the more powerful things you can do is feed your body natural melatonin building blocks and transformers known as cofactors that what your body can naturally produce melatonin.

I've been tracking my sleep for almost 15 years and sometimes I think I'm going to run out of new ways to sleep better my friends at bi optimizers have come up with something new called sleep breakthrough.

It's got all the right ingredients like vitamin B6 magnesium and zinc that help with getting good quality sleep and it targets five different sleep pathways and I like it because it does it very quickly.

It works so fast because it's got an easy delivery mechanism all you do is mix in a cup of water and drink it right before bed when you have your sleep you regain your power you owe it to yourself to feel rested each day.

For more than 10 years I have been looking at ketones and mitochondria and it's very clear that ketones can give you my dr's super powers in fact I've written about it in a couple of my books it's in the bulletproof diet.

It's in fast this way and actually the other ones to you don't always have to be in ketosis but when you turn on your ketones especially at high levels for brief periods magic can happen we're talking better energy better focus better endurance even better hydration.

I've been working with a company called health via modern nutrition or HVMN that created ketone IQ daily ketone supplement drink.

Does any sugar or stimulants it's just clean energy for better physical and cognitive performance I feel the difference if I'm meditating if I'm doing neurofeedback if I'm working out or just when I need extra energy to do something really intense go to HVMN dot com slash Dave use code Dave 20 they'll give you 20% off that's HVMN dot com slash Dave use code Dave 20 they'll give you 20% off this is worth a try.

You're listening to bulletproof radio with Dave asprey today I get to say something I haven't said at least not very often on the show we're going to talk with someone who was actually struck by lightning and I think you can probably tell this actually lived because otherwise it would be a really boring interview.

The lightning strike at age 15 also turned on a grand mal seizure disorder the lasted for the next 20 years a person who's meditated since she was 12 probably the wrong way because otherwise lightning one instructor just saying anyway she was those tools to manage seizures.

In a way that was actually doing bad things to her she just didn't know it the seizures got worse she flatlined in a doctor's office during an exam did it again in front of her young daughter and decided all right I'm going to have to hack this and she went on to find a way to do it.

Her name is Lisa Wimberger and she created something called the Neurosculpting Institute in Colorado and has written seven books on neuroplasticity and stress management so today we're going to talk about.

Brain and training stress management meditation practices that actually work and don't cause harm Lisa welcome to the show so good to be here so excited to talk to you.

Now this is something I don't think I've ever talked about on the show it's hard to remember after like 900 upsets but I grew up with a mother who had epilepsy so she was on a substantial anti-seizure drugs and had seizures on a very regular basis so no a thing or two about this thing called epilepsy.

Right and eventually she ended up having brains her dream which helped resolve some of it but it also left her with some disabilities so can be a big deal though she wasn't struck by lightning but she is from Roswell so maybe there aliens I'm not really sure.

There you go.

All right I just have to start with this. What's it like to get struck by lightning sucks. Well obviously.

By now you know that I'll go to the ends of the world to control what goes into my bed because that's what controls how I sleep that's why I always sleep with a Canadian made copper infused pillow.

The MV pillow was made by a couple of registered nurses they were listening when dermatologist plastic surgeons and sleep experts were all saying you needed a better pillow but they didn't know what to recommend.
