If You Struggle with Anxiety, Please Watch This | Tim Ferriss

What's a thought that reappears in your mind often today? Or what are you fascinated by today that kind of steals your attention and gets you excited because you've done so many things, you've accomplished so many things, you you're so active in so many ways. I wonder what fascinates you now. I can tell you literally was getting some

texts on the way here from a few people I've been interacting with a lot. Uh one is Tommy Wood, Dr. Tommy Wood who's a neuroscientist also a phenomenal athlete interesting combination uh looking at and we'll probably get into this more deeply but different fuel sources for the brain and extending your cognitive runway. So in life if you as I

for instance have a lot of neurodeenerative disease in your family whether that's Alzheimer's Parkinson's or otherwise what can you do now assuming a lot of these conditions take decades to fully develop how can you intervene early so that's a question that's occupying my mind and have found I think some very very compelling

options that are not new to me but if you go through the scientific literature and you talk to people on front lines, you do find some interesting options. So, we can talk about those. I would say bioelectric medicine, which ties into this. In other words, microchips and electricity over pills. A lot of

medications have offtarget effects. So, you have a problem or you want to prevent a problem, you take a drug, very often it is not as specific as we would like. There are side effects. >> There's a burgeoning field of bioelectric medicine that can be applied a million different ways. Uh we I we

probably should talk about it, but I'll give you an example. Here's a crazy example. There's a technology called TMS, transcranial magnetic stimulation that has existed for decades, and it's basically using a magnetic field to affect brain activity. So they put a paddle close to your head. There are different ways to do it. Might be a cap
