Summary

Stephen Porges comes to Bulletproof Radio to share his pioneering research on the vagus nerve, how the cues it receives play a major role in stress, social behavior and the nervous system and some tips on how to improve its response. Dr. Porges is a Distinguished University Scientist at Indiana University where he directs the Trauma Research Center in the Kinsey Institute. He is Professor of Psychiatry at the University of North Carolina, Professor Emeritus at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he directed the Brain-Body Center in the Department of Psychiatry, and Professor Emeritus at the University of Maryland, where he chaired the Department of Human Development and directed the Institute for Child Study. In 1994 he proposed the Polyvagal Theory, a theory that links the evolution of the mammalian autonomic nervous system to social behavior and emphasizes the importance of physiological state in the expression of behavioral problems and psychiatric disorders.

If you read my anti-aging book, you know that there are seven things that cause aging in your body,

0:04.7

and one of the biggest ones you could call zombie cells. Those are cells in your body that are

0:09.6

done living, but they don't really die. They sit around, they take up resources, and they make

0:13.6

free radicals and inflammation. As you age, you get more and more zombie cells. They also cause

0:19.0

aging symptoms like less energy and longer recovery times. I've been working with my friends at

0:23.6

Neurohacker on a formula that would cause your body to eliminate those zombie cells. It's called

0:30.0

Qualia Cinelletics. It's a new kind of supplement. It's got the most powerful, herbal, and natural

0:35.4

synolytics, and it's so powerful you only take it for two days per month to turn on this cleanup

0:41.4

of your zombie cells. You don't take it every day because you don't want your body to get rid of

0:45.6

those cells every day because that would get in the way of your body's normal functioning. In

0:50.0

other words, you need to do a once a month cleaning cycle. When you check it out, you'll feel the

difference. Go to Neurohacker.com slash Dave, use code Asprey15, they'll give you 15% off.

By now, you've probably seen me holding a cube looking thing. Well, it's a device from

1:27.7

Lila Quantum Tech. It has effects on blood flow in the body. In the latest study from the

1:36.0

Emoto Institute in Japan, it showed that three minutes in the quantum block structures water,

1:41.2

like they haven't seen with any other method or device in 25 years plus of studying it.

1:47.1

Drinking structured water does support your mitochondrial energy production. It seems to have

1:51.8

a positive effect on aging, and it's good for inflammation. Do we know everything about how water

1:56.9

and collagen interact in our cells at the quantum level? We absolutely don't.
