Summary
In today's episode I’m reuniting with someone who has had a profound impact on my journey as a biohacker, Rollin McCraty, the director of research at the HeartMath Institute. Rollin specializes in the physiology of emotion, and his research explores how emotions impact cognition, behavior, health, and global interconnectivity. I first encountered Rollin nearly two decades ago during my tenure at the Silicon Valley Health Institute. Back then, I was a young enthusiast, navigating the intricate world of anti-aging and longevity, learning from the seasoned wisdom of octogenarians who were defying the natural aging process.
Rollin introduced me to the profound connection between cutting-edge science and practices often dismissed back then, like meditation. In a world where admitting to meditating could raise eyebrows and questions about your sanity, Rollin illuminated the scientific links connecting our biology, nervous system, and conscious mind. It was a revelation, a glimpse into the integral role these connections play not just in personal well-being but in the unseen, yet palpable, impact we have on others. Now, as a 50-year-old with the biological markers that defy my calendar age, I attribute part of my own transformation to insights gained from pioneers like Rollin. As a biohacker, personal development isn’t just a journey inward but a meticulous tuning of the body’s ‘hardware’ to optimize function and performance.
In this episode we’re uncovering the impact our energetics can have on others and the world around us. We talk about heart rate variability and coherence, and its importance in aging. We discuss the magnetic environment we live in, and the human response to these natural phenomena. We talk about the impact of phones on our biology, how technology can potentially be harnessed to positively affect human consciousness and global coherence, and changing DNA with intention. And if you’re now motivated to dive into coherence training, we give some tools for that. It’s an honor to have Rollin on the show today, a testament to the evolution of biohacking, where the convergence of science and consciousness isn’t just acknowledged but celebrated.
(03:39) Unlocking the Power of Heart Rate Variability & Earth’s Natural Rhythms
• What heart rate variability is why it’s important for understanding aging
• My experience as a HeartMath coach and using a heart rate variability monitor
• How we affect each other from our heart rate coherence
• Research conducted through the Global Coherence Initiative on fields line resonances
• Why it’s beneficial to be in sync with the rhythm of the earth
• An overview of the Schumann Resonances
(33:37) How the Earth’s Magnetic Environment Impacts Our Biology
• The global magnetometer measuring system
• How understanding the magnetic environment we live in can help us be more resilient
• What disturbed fields can do to humans
• How our phones impact our biology
• Measuring global consciousness with Global Consciousness Project 2.0
• Recognizing and pushing past our own limiting beliefs
(46:35) Exploring Coherence Training & Quantum Consciousness for Healing
• Using technology to affect consciousness in a positive way
• How we are becoming aware of what we're feeding the field
• Where to start with becoming more aligned and shifting into coherence
• The role of mitochondria in coherence training
• How you can change your DNA with coherence and intention
• Biohacking’s link to epigenetics

| 0:00.0 | If you've been listening to the human upgrade for very long, you've heard about the |
| 0:04.0 | science-backed benefits of sonnas, like sweating out heavy metals and other toxins, and |
| 0:09.7 | even a euphoric feeling you get from endorphins releasing from the heat. |
| 0:14.6 | What if you could get those benefits anywhere without having a full sauna? |
| 0:19.2 | Check out the Bond Charge sauna blanket. |
| 0:21.6 | It uses infrared light that heats you instead of the air around you. |
| 0:25.8 | That means you get the same benefits at a lower heat. |
| 0:28.9 | It also mimics the effects of intense exercise, even burning up to 600 calories per session |
| 0:35.2 | while you just relax. |
| 0:37.4 | It heats up really fast, the quickest on the market I've found. |
| 0:41.2 | I like it because it's really easy to clean, it has low EMFs, and it has the highest temperature |
| 0:46.4 | settings. |
| 0:47.4 | Plus, it's really easy to set up and so away. |
| 0:50.2 | I like to use it when I'm traveling and don't have access to a full-size sauna. |
| 0:55.2 | So if you want the power of an infrared sauna to go or from the comfort of your own home, |
| 1:00.5 | go to bondcharge.com-slash-dave. |
| 1:03.3 | That's boin-ch-a-r-g-e.com. |
| 1:06.4 | Use code Dave, I'll give you 15% off your bond charge sauna blanket. |
| 1:10.8 | If you're feeling low energy, there are lots of ways you can fix that. |
| 1:14.2 | One way is by re-upping your quantum energy. |
| 1:17.7 | Quantum energy isn't just a new age term, it's a force that does exist in everything, |
| 1:23.1 | which is why you can get a PhD in quantum biology today, it's a real science. |
