Working Memory
I used to be able to hold three to four concepts in my mind, manipulate them, compare them, and come to some sort of conclusion (action, decision, understanding, analysis etc.). I used to be able to “search” my brain for answers, tapping into previous knowledge and projecting out multiple possible answer scenarios. A concussion, years of sleep issues, and a horrific exit from adderall later, these skills are largely gone. These skills brought me joy and I want them back. What is working memory, what are the mechanisms, and how can we get more of it? Perhaps it’s a full episode or two. Thank you for everything you and your team do for the world and for science. We are so lucky.
Can you clarify why you're confident that AG1 is helpful? My dietician friends are giving me a hard time for it being all hype.
Specifically, I've gotten pushback because there aren't studies on the ability of the body to absorb this stuff effectively and they say its easy to get the same thing via just eating 'real food'. Can you point me to some studies that you think would be helpful in rationalizing AG1?
Brain Endurance Training
I am curious about your thoughts on brain endurance training. I have some research if you would please check it out. https://blog.soma-npt.ch/how-to-integrate-cognitive-training-with-physical-training/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1440244020307878 Thanks! Terry
