Engage in activities that combine forward acceleration with body and head tilts (e.g., carving on a skateboard, leaning into bike turns) safely and regularly. This method profoundly enhances balance, mood, well-being, and learning by integrating visual and vestibular systems with acceleration cues.
Play low-intensity white noise in the background while learning (for adults). This enhances learning by modulating brain chemistry, specifically increasing dopamine release from the substantia nigra, leading to heightened alertness.
Utilize binaural beats to achieve specific brain states: delta (1-4 Hz) for sleep, theta (4-8 Hz) for deep relaxation/meditation, alpha (8-13 Hz) for moderate alertness/recall, beta (15-20 Hz) for focus/new information, and gamma (32-100 Hz) for learning/problem-solving. Binaural beats are also effective for anxiety and pain reduction, especially delta, theta, and alpha states for anxiety.
Ensure your sleeping environment’s temperature is correct, as body temperature needs to drop to fall and stay deeply asleep, and increase to wake up refreshed. Consider using smart mattress covers that automatically regulate bed temperature according to your unique needs for optimal slow wave and REM sleep.
When trying to remember specific auditory information, such as a new name, consciously pay attention to both the onset and the offset of the words. This technique improves the signal-to-noise ratio, enhancing recall, especially in environments with background noise.
Do not expose very young children or infants to white noise for long periods, especially during sleep. Prolonged exposure can be detrimental to the developing auditory system by disrupting the normal formation of tonotopic maps in the brain.
To hear something more clearly or localize sound with greater accuracy, cup your hand around your ear(s). This physically creates a larger pinna, which helps capture and funnel sound waves more effectively.
Utilize comprehensive lab testing services to gain insights into over 100 biomarkers related to heart health, hormone health, immune functioning, nutrient levels, and toxin exposure (e.g., mercury, PFAS). This allows for proactive health management and personalized interventions, such as limiting tuna and supplementing with NAC for elevated mercury.
Take AG1 daily as a vitamin-mineral probiotic drink. The host attributes improved overall health, consistent work capacity, energy, good sleep, and reduced sickness over many years to its use.
Stand on one leg and look forward at a fixed point, then try closing your eyes. This exercise demonstrates the critical role of visual information in maintaining balance and can be used to practice and understand postural sway.
