In detail:


- What is Neuroplasticity and Neurogenesis


- How to increase Neurogenesis: Increase Growth Factors ( Aerobic
exercise, for example ), add building blocks ( Choline and Folate
for example ), increase positive stress ( exercise, stress, cold
thermogenesis and more ) and reduce negative stress ( sleep
deprivation, excessive blue light exposure, particularly at night
).


- How Sleep can help to generate new positive neuropathways


- Senescence cells what they are and their potential advantage in
neurogenesis if reduced. How having the right balance is
essential.


- Neuroplasticity: The ability to re-shape your brain by creating
new dominant neuropathways for physiological responses you want
more of.


- How to hack Neuroplasticity: Sleep is a must. Having new
experiences also stimulates Neuroplasticity ( given that there is
repetition ).


- With Neuroplasticity, you can hack behaviours you are not proud
of or you would like to change, including how to emotionally
respond to public speaking, for example.


- Propensity to be anxious or angry are examples of "negative"
pathways you can get rid of by creating new neuropathways through
Neuroplasticity.


- Serotonin and Dopamine can be both critical when hacking
Neuroplasticity. Gratitude can be a fantastic tool for it.


- Conscious and Sub-conscious mind


- Only 5% of the time you are in the Conscious mind


- Subconscious mind represent the remaining 95% of our behaviour
throughout the day


- How can you reprogram your subconscious mind: a shift in
perception, psychedelics and more 


- Most of your sub-conscious behaviours were "programmed" in your
early days


- Psilocybin and depression.
