Episode 399: Ben Greenfield on Biohacking vs. Simplicity: The Future of Longevity for Body, Mind and Spirit

One thing I've been doing recently that has absolutely transformed particularly my mornings and just my general enjoyment of the rest of the day is combining sound, light, electricity, and vibration for meditation. So this is kind of fringe, but it's totally doable. Anybody can do it. So I have this chair now. It's called a shift wave chair.

You sit in it and you wear a little fingertip monitor and it monitors your heart rate and your heart rate variability and then vibrates in correspondence to the beats of your heart and comes with audio tracks that you can listen to that coach you through breathwork sessions while the whole chair vibrates your body. which in and of itself is pretty cool.

I sat on it at the American Academy of anti-aging medicine conference. It was so cool. I got one and I used it for, I probably got it like six months ago and I use it for a while, but then I also got my hands on a light sound machine. And these are machines that you lay underneath that blast you through closed eyes, uh,

You can barely, well, not barely, but you can detect the light, but your eyes are closed and it's almost like you've taken six grams of psilocybin without actually taking any drugs or anything. It automatically just shifts your brain into a whole different state using light stimulation. And in the past, I've used headset versions of that. Like there's one called the brain tap.

There's one called the neurovisor that I actually like. I have my bag upstairs, the neurovisor, because I still travel with it. But it shifts your brain in the same state that you'd be looking for from, let's say, like ketamine, LSD, psilocybin, any of these entheogens or psychedelics people use for brainwave shifting. But it does so using light instead, light and sound stimulation.

So I figured out how to take an AV cable from the light and connect it to the chair. So now I've got the light, the sound, and the vibration all going at the same time. And then Nikola Tesla said, if you want to understand the universe, think in terms of energy frequency and vibration.

So I've got the light frequencies and the sound frequencies and the vibration, but then I was looking for a way I could incorporate electrical energy into that. So then I outfitted that whole setup with a PEMF coil. PEMF is pulse electromagnetic field therapy. Wow. And there's one called a halo, H-A-E-L-O. And I put it in my lap during one of those sessions.

And that can be set for like meditation, inflammation, digestion, whatever. So now if you go into my downstairs living room, in the room beside my office, in the corner, there's a chair. And the chair is the shift wave. And above that is the Ruxiva lamp. And next to that is the halo PMF coil. And then I will just like pull on a gravity blanket or one of those infrared sauna blankets. Yeah.
