I think it might be better to be at 5% only when you're needing it to reach out or do things.” ▷ 31:22 Take Breaks From Social Media Apps Behaviors “Both my son and daughter routinely mentioned to me when they turn off apps, remove, pick your social media.

A lot of the rewiring of neural connections actually occurs during rapid eye movement sleep and deep sleep.” ▷ 47:11 Reflection After Learning Behaviors “I mean I really think reflection on these topics, this is another one that was a big surprise, is that thinking about it later also rewires your brain, not just the sleeping part when you're clearly thinking about it and turning it over in your mind.” ▷ 51:31 Visualization Behaviors “We now know from Olympic skiers that if you do all your time skiing, you're going to wreck your knees. So they spend a lot of time in visualization. They spend a lot of time imagining what's going on, stepping through the motions because it's too dangerous to go down the hill at that speed too many times.” ▷ 1:03:49 Self-Testing Behaviors “There were a number of takeaways. But perhaps the most salient one was that students who self-test learn much faster. And the information they learn is much more durable over time.” ▷ 1:14:54 Make Food Yourself Diet “You know, making a good pancakes. I'm pretty good at making pancakes. I flip it over. It's just brown all along. That's a good pancake.” ▷ 1:36:16 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Fear of Heights Behaviors “My psychologist friends who have been mastering this arcane art of cognitive behavioral therapy now claim a 100% cure rate for severe fear of heights.” ▷ 1:36:57 Cognitive Processing Therapy Behaviors “For people with post-traumatic stress disorder, a similar therapy, cognitive processing therapy or prolonged exposure therapy, will cure about 40% of people.” ▷ 1:36:57 Prolonged Exposure Therapy Behaviors “For people with post-traumatic stress disorder, a similar therapy, cognitive processing therapy or prolonged exposure therapy, will cure about 40% of people. That's fantastic.” ▷ 1:39:02 Vagus Nerve Stimulation Tools “And one way we came upon is this way of using an electrode placed on the vagus nerve to trick the brain into thinking you're having a heart attack. We only activate a few cells. It's a very tiny current.” ▷ 1:41:30 Sensory Therapy Behaviors “We now shown in humans that you can use physical therapy occupational therapy cognitive behavioral therapy and sensory therapy all of which activate neurons.” ▷ 1:41:30 Physical Therapy Behaviors “We now shown in humans that you can use physical therapy occupational therapy cognitive behavioral therapy and sensory therapy all of which activate neurons.” ▷ 1:41:30 Occupational Therapy Behaviors “We now shown in humans that you can use physical therapy occupational therapy cognitive behavioral therapy and sensory therapy all of which activate neurons.” ▷ 1:52:06 Nicotine Supplements “So, for instance, if I want to learn something and I'm going to focus as hard as I can on it, I will occasionally take, you know, these are very low doses, two milligrams of nicotine. I don't do this lately. I just did an experiment last year where I was, I didn't like it because it made my throat spasm a little bit when I wasn't taking the gum. So I stopped.” ▷ 2:06:58 Constraint-Induced Motor Training Behaviors “The only other therapy for stroke is called constraint-induced motor training, say MT. And the idea is you just put a glove over the good hand and you force someone to use their bad hand.” ▷ 2:07:51 Patch the Good Eye After Eye Injury Recovery Behaviors “And after the patch comes off and the eye is fine, you need to tell his mom, hey, mom, what I want you to do is put a patch on the other eye.” ▷ 2:08:23 Atropine Eye Drops Supplements “Now we don't reverse patch anymore. We give some drops. The eye drops make it a little bit blurry. You don't have to block the eye entirely. You can just do a drop that slightly blurs the eye by opening the pupil up.” ▷ 2:20:05 Avoid Loud Sound Exposure Behaviors “Whether you're going to rock concerts or shooting a gun or playing your horn loud, it's the high frequencies where things vibrate the fastest that get most injured.” ▷ 2:21:44 Ignore Tinnitus Behaviors “My advice for everyone is try to ignore it. Because when you're paying attention to it, you're listening to it, you're fretting about it, you're worrying about it.” ▷ 2:22:28 Avoid Peanuts in Severe Peanut Allergy Diet “Avoiding peanuts can create a severe allergy, a dangerous allergy to peanuts.” ▷ 2:22:39 Expose Children to Peanuts Diet “When we shield ourselves, as we did from peanuts, many people got peanut allergies. Now that we've gone back to exposing children, you don't have that problem.” ▷ 2:34:11 See a Pediatric Ophthalmologist for Lazy Eye Behaviors “If your child has a quote-unquote lazy eye or an eye that doesn't seem to align quite the same as the other, when they're fatigued or just naturally sits that way, it's very important to correct that early.” ▷ 2:48:29 Fiber Supplements Supplements “And we're all really different. The kinds of fiber supplements someone uses or the kind of sleep regimen someone else needs.” ▷ 2:53:40 Use Closed-Loop Feedback Tools Tools “So I would say look for things that are closed loop, that connect, that they're providing useful information, that have sensors.” ▷ 2:57:35 Meditation Behaviors “People who do meditation, mindfulness, they recognize this trying to stay in this right sweet spot, which is back to that optimization we've talked a lot about.”
