Insane Biohack Devices That Actually Work

What are some biohacks or some interventions that you use or believe in but you don't have any data to support? What are some of the things that you're like, I [ __ ] love this and I know that it works for me. The doctor in the corner is shaking her head. We'll get to that. >> Oh, yeah. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go bro science. Uh, biocharger. Have you ever seen this? >> Oh my god, I have one. >> Borrowed one. Tony Robbins >> Oh, I have one. >> Doctor backed me up. >> No, I don't. I don't. >> [laughter] >> I don't. So, >> You don't have a biocharger? >> I have a biocharger. >> Facebook marketplace it. >> No. I Okay, so I saved a patient's life and she said, "Pick any a piece of equipment that you want." And she keeps talking about this biocharger. She's like, "My sex drive is up. It's like the best thing ever." I'm like, "Okay, well, I already have a sauna. I already have a cold plunge." >> What about the biocharger? >> Yeah, but so I got a I have a biocharger. >> How did you find it? >> Great. My husband, he's like, "I feel this." I mean, who knows? But, >> It does It does red light. >> it work? >> It's like a I don't know if it's radio frequencies based on a Tesla coil surrounded by 12 noble gases in tubes. >> And there's zero clinical data, but >> And you can hold a cool [ __ ] light saber near it. >> What is your recipe when you use it? >> I mean, a parasite recipe, like an insomnia recipe. You think it works? Okay, the raisin bran recipe works. It It's constipation. If If you're constipated, been traveling, whatever, you sit in front of the raisin bran recipe with 12 minutes and you literally have like a turtle head coming out. >> experience this. Chris, >> I did research on it. >> I got I went >> I went I went to Tony Robbins' house. He said he's got one in every room in his house, apparently. I don't know why. And we I got lent one for a month or so. I noticed no difference. For the people that joined us, >> it? Wait, did you use it? >> Consistently or semi-consistently. >> He didn't use it. He didn't use >> But, you can't like you put your phone near it and your phone starts [ __ ] glitching out. >> Wait, wait, wait. Did you use it? How How often did you use it? >> I don't know. >> Only wait, I have two other ones. I I have two things. >> Okay. And then and then I've got one more before >> Oh, you've got millions. >> So you might know more about this this machine. I I so there's something called and you probably know way more about this than I do, but I got um lent a Winback machine. Have you ever seen that? It's like some tecar therapy. Do you know what that is? >> I don't know what both of those words mean. >> Okay. I don't know and it's So you don't know what it is. I don't know what it is either, but >> is it? >> Well, it seems like it has some um it's like not quite EMS, but it has some um high radio frequency. It is, but it's not exactly and it's called tecar therapy. >> And what do you do with it? Patches? >> So there's patches, but I've been using it for my hamstring and it seems to >> a like a controller that's producing >> It does. It has this Yes, and I was hoping that you would tell me what exactly how it works, but it seems to do tissue healing. I haven't seen good US data on it. I think that it I I feeling better has to work somehow and it's not a stim device. >> Yeah. Uh I do not know if if someone could Google it and see exactly what frequency >> I'll send I'll send It's not called EMS. It's called No, it's called a Winback. >> Winback? >> Win >> Yeah, Winback. Pull pull it up and see what they're what they're actually saying that it does. I I I I might have seen something like it before. Um >> And it localizes to where the pain is, which is really weird. >> Yeah. The Roxie Volante. You seen this one? >> No. >> Okay, so it's a sound lounge that vibrates like like a vibroacoustic bed that you lay on. And then it's a lamp and the lamp has headphones. So it's like a AV cable, one side is going into the vibroacoustic bed, the other side's going into the headphones and then there's like 100 different sessions ranging from 5 minutes to 60 minutes that are like blast off to the moon psychedelic. Like full on mushroom LSD like trip depending on what you choose with zero biological payback as far as you actually needing to swallow a substance or put anything under your tongue, you lay there, you put on the headphones, you flip it on, you close your eyes, and it whisks you off to another planet. >> What is it called? Wait, what is it called? >> so, it's like if if we were to talk about the proposed neural benefit, it would be based on what's called light sound entrainment, meaning shifting you into different brain waves based on the light and the sound. It's called a Roxiva. >> Wow. >> Uh there there is a >> session on there. It is like a Shiftwave, but imagine if the Shiftwave didn't just have sound, cuz the Shiftwave is super cool. For people listening or watching, it vibrates uh >> It doesn't just vibrate. It [ __ ] shakes the room. >> It's lined with nodes. >> I've got one at the house. >> And the cool the cool part is it will it will guide you through breathwork sessions, and specifically like the breath holds, you can go like 25% longer just based on the distraction of the the vibrating chair. So, and you're wearing a a fingertip monitor for HRV, and your HRV climbs to the roof when you're doing this thing. Imagine that plus flickering light that's also designed to just like whisk you off into a completely different state. There's a session called rebirth, and they actually recorded like whoosh whooshing sounds in mom's womb and the fetal heart beats, and you you put on the headphones, you close your eyes, you lay under this thing, and it feels like you're just like primally being whisked back into this like fetal state, and you lay there for 45 minutes, and sometimes you fall asleep, you're in and out of consciousness, and then the last 5 minutes, you get birthed. And the music crescendos, and all of the sudden like everything starts beating, and the lights get brighter, and your heart rate speeds up, and you get this dump of adrenaline, and then you're just like out, and then everything goes dark, and you sit up from it, and you just feel like you could go conquer the world. 2:15 in the afternoon. >> That's [ __ ] >> Wow, I was sold at that point. >> That's [ __ ] cool. >> Does it work if you use I I've used the I've used the shift wave. The shift wave is not as comprehensive as that. There was a interesting thing around the sounds from mother's womb. I had Steven Porges on the polyvagal theory guy. And he came up with the safe and sound protocol SSP. You familiar with that? So this is a mode of nervous system re-entrainment and it's a combination of kind of meditation with you actually have a facilitator who is halfway between mantra meditation, psychotherapy and like sound wave work, I guess, and breath work. And one of the things that he told me which is [ __ ] fascinating the soft, gentle, reassuring sounds that mothers give to their kids is the frequency in which the safe and sound protocol works as well. One of the weird things is that's the It's the same for dogs and it's the same for horses. And that's the reason that equine therapy and that humans and horses are able to connect as well and that humans and dogs are able to connect as well. Because the sound frequency that mothers and kids have in all of those species are within the same band. Isn't that [ __ ] cool? She's probably jacked so she's fine. Doesn't matter at all. What what else have I been using that's been interesting? Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, I mean I know that this is not super like experimental and it's probably pretty well. That hard shell at what like 2.2 ATA is so good. I don't know what is happening to make me feel the way that I do after I come out of a hyperbaric therapy but it is 20 minutes on, 5 minutes off, 100% oxygen on the mask, normal oxygen outside of that. 90 minute session down at that 2.2 is better than any coffee, better than any cold plunge, better than any anything. >> There's a There's a little bit of parasympathetic activation, too, just from the the whole sensory depth nature of it. I I did one of Brigham's yesterday and like my tongue's lagging out of the corner of my mouth and I was struggling to talk. >> hyperbaric chamber that they've been using in operator's forever. >> Michael Jackson was using one in like the '90s. >> Have you guys used the hydrogen bath stuff? >> I have used that, yeah. >> Yeah, I use one at Lumati in my garage. >> I I don't and and I think there is some I haven't looked it up. I just [ __ ] have one. >> it just transdermal absorption of hydrogen? >> don't You add inhalation of studies behind it. I just use it and I like it. >> hundreds times more hydrogen than a pill. >> It's so relaxing to me cuz it's a hot tub. You're sitting in a hot tub that has hydrogen in it and you you can probably talk. >> trial where you're actually in the hot tub and nobody tells you whether or not they put hydrogen in it. But the idea is that there is some transdermal absorption of hydrogen in a hydrogen-rich environment either in the air or in the water that's greater than what you would get from like a pill dropped in water. And hydrogen being a selective antioxidant means that for uh inflammation, for soreness, etc., uh you do feel pretty good afterwards. >> Yeah, but it's hard cuz a hot tub you feel good, too. >> for my podcast and literally like my bookshelf and my books to read is in the garage. Uh that's where my wife had me put the bathtub uh in in a hydrogen bath with a red light. >> long do you stay in? >> About 40 minutes. >> And how often do you stay in, Chris? >> Uh almost every day now. >> Oh, the the hydrogen bath I was using really intimately. That was when I was in uh Lumati. >> That's the only place I've ever used that. That's That's where I got my hydrogen concentrator was from them in San Diego. >> Have you seen Alex Tanavas' thing? He's the inhalation [ __ ] >> Yeah. Yeah, Brigham has one. Uh that is uh it's it's the only hydrogen inhalation machine that can go up to that high of a percentage that doesn't use a nasal cannula. So so you get a a pretty high concentration >> That also doesn't risk [ __ ] blowing up. >> Yeah, without risk of explosion. >> Yeah, you don't [ __ ] about with hydrogen, dude. But I mean you you put me in touch with Alex and his machine is [ __ ] out of this world. I don't even know if they're publicly if they're like >> I don't know if they're for sale or not. Uh but but it's called the >> working on it for a decade. >> What's pushed me over the edge is is there's a very um very trustworthy guy in the hydrogen research sector named Tyler LeBaron who I think he founded the uh the Hydrogen Research Foundation. I think that's what it's called. And he put his name behind this because he was so impressed with it compared to all these different machines, a lot of them coming out of Asia that have low concentration or you can't adjust the percentage or they use a nasal cannula instead of a mask. Uh and so when I asked him about it, he was like, "Thumbs up. This is the best one on the market." >> What do you make of uh cuz we've got hydrogen tablets, >> Right. >> uh hydrogen flasks, water infusion flasks, >> Yeah. >> inhalation, and now baths as well. What do you make of hydrogen the research around it generally and then what do you make of those different >> I've used a test kit to test the bottle and the tablet and the bottle produces a higher concentration of hydrogen. It's like 8 to 10 ppm, but the bottles uh poop out after like 300 uses. So you're going to buy a bottle frequently. The pills slightly lower. The transdermal absorption, there's not a lot of research on that. The inhalation is the highest concentration that you can infuse in your body as far as what they've actually looked like looked at for for hydrogen concentration. What's the proposed mechanism benefits of breathing hydrogen and putting more of it in your body? >> It's an antioxidant. So basically it would quell inflammation. It would uh essentially um because it's a selective antioxidant, it can accept or donate electrons. So, unlike say like high-dose synthetic vitamin C or vitamin E, um or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, it can actually accept or donate an electron. And so, it would be something that would not say quell the hormetic response to exercise. Like after you do a hard exercise session, you're actually not supposed to take high-dose antioxidants. You're not supposed to take >> Do you do a cold plunge? >> Well, the the cold plunge you have to drop the muscle temperature by about 1° C, which takes at least 10 minutes at a pretty cold temperature. The like jumping in a quick cold plunge or taking a cold shower after workout, that's not as big of a problem as doing like It's It's been overblown because I don't know a lot of people who even have the time after workout to get in a cold plunge for 10 to 20 minutes, which is where the which is where Yeah, or the desire. And that's And that's where the research that you blunt the anabolic response actually happens. >> If you're going to do a long cold plunge, wait for a few hours until after the workout. >> cold plunge. Me wondering where your research is. >> Yeah. >> [ __ ] nuts. >> I do 3 minutes and I'm done. >> uh So, so basically, hydrogen and methylene blue are two examples of selective antioxidants that can accept or donate an electron that would be acceptable for post-exercise inflammation without blunting the anabolic response. >> Somewhere along the way, low energy just gets accepted as a part of getting older. Turns out there's a reason for that. As we age, our mitochondria, the parts of our cells that power us become weaker and make less energy, which is why I'm such a huge fan of Timeline. They've developed this that helps to clear out your damaged mitochondria, so your cells can actually renew themselves. Timeline is backed by over a decade of research and has more than 50 patents and is the number one recommended mitochondrial supplement on the planet. This isn't just theory. In clinical trials, people saw mitochondrial renewal increased by more than 40% in just 16 weeks along with improvements in their overall energy. I've been using it for over 2 years since my doctor recommended it to me way before I partnered with Timeline and eat your heart out Martin Shkreli cuz they've just dropped the price and it now starts at $99. Best of all, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee plus free shipping in the US plus they ship internationally and right now you can get that $99 price with an additional 20% off by going to the link in the description below or heading to timelinenutrition.com/modernwisdom using the code modernwisdom at checkout.
