Brant,welcometotheshow.

BrantCortright: Thankyouforhavingme.It'sapleasuretobehere.

DaveAsprey: You'reareallyinterestingguybecauseyoulookatbrainhealthandneuroscience,butyoualsolookattherapy.Howdidyougetintomixingthosethingstogetherbecause,usually,yougetlikesortofthesoftertherapysideoryougettheharderlike,uh,"Idissectratbrains"kindontheside,butyou've,you,you'reneitheroneofthosepurely?Wha-How'dyoudothis?

BrantCortright: Yeah,that'sright,Igotintothisreallythroughconsciousnessandthroughreallyakindofpsycho-spiritualapproachtopsychology,andsoreallylookingateverylevelofourconsciousness,mind,body,heart,spirit.AndalthoughI'vereallybeenfocusedonpsychotherapyformany...alongtimeandalsomeditation,I'vecometotheconclusionthatIactuallyhaveunderestimatedtheroleofthebodyand...

DaveAsprey: Yeah.

BrantCortright: ...particularly,thebrainandthatthequalityofourconsciousnessisintimatelytiedtothequalityofourbrain,andviceversa.Andsoitturnsoutthatthere'sbeenalotofveryrecentneurosciencestufflookingathowsomeofthesesoftthingshaveahugeimpactonourbrain.Particularly,thisdiscoveryofneurogenesishasbeenIthinkarealgamechangerintermsoflookingatbrainhealthandthewholequalityofourlife.

DaveAsprey: Whatisneurogenesisthewaywe'retalkingaboutit?

BrantCortright: Good.Soneurogenesisistheprocessofmakingnewbraincells,thebirthofnewbraincells.It'sthegenerationofnewneurons.Anditusedtobethoughtthatthebrainstoppedgrowing,stoppedmakingnewbraincellsoncewe'reinourearly20'sorso,and,afterthat,itwasjustoneslowdeath.

DaveAsprey: Now,Iknowyou,youwenttoUCSantaCruz,soyouwerestillkillingbraincellsinyour20'sasfarasIunderstandit,right?

BrantCortright: Uh,well,psychedelics?

DaveAsprey: (laughs)

BrantCortright: Idon'tthinktheytotallykillthebrain,but-

DaveAsprey: That'safairpoint.

BrantCortright: (laughs)Yeah.

DaveAsprey: [inaudible00:05:03]So,sothat'sjustbeenproven,and,andthatwasonlyinrecenttimewhenweunderstoodthatneurogenesishappened,right?Howrecentlywasitwhenwefiguredthatout?

BrantCortright: That'sright,thelate1990s...

DaveAsprey: Yeah.

BrantCortright: ...theydiscoveredthat,actually,wemakenewbraincellsthroughoutourentirelifetime,andtheydidn'tknowwhatthemeaningofthiswasuntiljustafewyearsago.Soitturnsoutthatyourrateofneurogenesisisprobablythemostimportantbiomarker...

DaveAsprey: (laughs)Yes.

BrantCortright: ...ofbrainhealththatsomepeoplehaveneverheardof.So,alittlerateofneurogenesis,thatis,alittlerateinwhichthebrain'smakingnewbraincells,isassociatedwithcognitivedecline,withmemoryproblems,withanxiety,withstressandwithdepression,evenloweredimmunity.Andthehighrateofneurogenesis,thatis,ahighrateatwhichthebrainismakingbraincells,isassociatedwiththeopposite,withcognitiveenhancement,withrapidlearning,rapidproblem-solvingandwithrobustemotionalresilienceandwithprotectionagainststress,anxietyanddepression.Anditturnsoutthatjustabouteverybodycanincreasetheirrateofneurogenesisbyabout5times,probablyevenmorethanthatbecausesomeofthescienceislaggingbehind.Andthisdifferenceintherateofneurogenesishasaprofoundeffectonthequalityofourlife.

DaveAsprey: Sothe,thereasonthatI,Iwassoexcitedtohaveyouonas,asaguestisthattherearehundredsofthousandsofpeoplelisteningtothisrightnow,mostofthemareinterestedin,inincreasingtheirperformanceonewayoranother,notjust,youknow,athleticperformanceoratwork,but,basically,whenyoucanperformbetteratwhateveryouwanttodo.Ifwhatyouwandorightnowissleep,thenyou'llhavebetterperformanceinsleep.Like,likeit'saboutdoing[everythingelse00:06:57]better.

Buttheimpactofwhatyoujustsaid,"5timesbetterabilitytolaydownyourbraincellswhenyouneedthem,5timesmorebrainplasticity,"that'snotalittlechange.Thatisgamechanging.Thatmeans1unitofmeditation,ifyou'retryingtolearntomeditate.Itmeansyoucouldhave5timesmorechangesinthebrainforthesameamountofwork.

Now,I'mlazy,verylazy,andIwouldrathergetmoreoutof1minuteofmeditationthanless,andIthinkeveryonelisteningwould,too,and,andsotellmemoreaboutthis"5times."WhatdoIhavetodotoget5timesmoreneurogenesisforwhateverI'mdoing,whetherit'sanykindoftrainingorjustwhatever?

BrantCortright: Yeah.That'sthemillion-dollarquestion.Letmetellyouabout1experimenttheydid.Theytookmiceandtheygavethem,really,aholistictreatment.Theapproachofthisbook,it'saholisticapproachtobrainhealth,right,body,heart,mind,spirit.Theygavethesemiceaholistictreatment.Theydidn'tcallitthat.That'smywordforit.Theycalleditan"enrichedenvironment,"sotheygavethemagooddiet,theygavethemrunningwheelstoexerciseon,theygavethemlotsofnovelenvironmentstoexplore,nestingmaterials,alotofotherfriendlymicetoplaywithandmeetwith,andtheyfoundoutthattheyincreasedtheirrateofneurogenesisby5timesandthatthepartofthebrainthatgrowsnewbraincells,thehippocampus,was1/6bigger.

Now,that'salotofcomputingpower.Andthesemicehadbigcognitiveadvantagesovertheirnormalneurogenesisratepeersandtheyhadbigemotionaladvantagesaswell,again,bigprotectionfromstress,anxietyanddepression.Soitturnsoutthatit'sthewholepicture.It'sallofittogetherthatworks,thatbody,heart,mind,spirit,bystimulatingthebraininalloftheseways,theyallworktogethersynergisticallymuchmorepowerfullythanifwejustdoitoneatatime.

BrantCortright: Well,they'vedoneboth.

BrantCortright: Theyhavetested1thingatatime...

DaveAsprey: Yeah.

DaveAsprey: Okay.Tellmethesegoods.(laughs)I'vegottoknow.

BrantCortright: (laughs)Okay,sothere'sachapterinthebookonbodyandallthephysicalthingswecando.There'sachapterinthebookontheheartandemotionalfactorsinthis.There'sachapteronthemindandmentalexercises,thementalthingswecando,andthere'sachapteronspiritandspiritualpracticesthatalsohave,uh,aneffectonthis.Butthere's,uh,there's1chapterjustondietbecausedietisoneofthemostimportantdimensionsofallthis.So,youknow,ifyouwanttobuildabeautifulhigh-endhouse,youhavetousehigh-qualitymaterials,right?

BrantCortright: Youcan'tuserottingwoodordecayingwood.Youusehigh-qualitylumber.Andit'sthesamewiththebrain.Weneedtousehigh-qualitybuildingmaterials.SoIthinkofthisasreallyatwofoldstrategy.Oneistodecreasethingsthatareneurotoxicandslowdowntherateofneurogenesis.

BrantCortright: Andtheotheristoincreasethosefoodsandactivitiesthataccelerateourrateofneurogenesis.Otherwise,it'slikesteppingonthebrakeandtheaccelerator...

DaveAsprey: Yeah.

BrantCortright: ...atthesametime.

DaveAsprey: Whataretheneurotoxinsthatweshouldavoid?

BrantCortright: Goodquestion,becauseweliveinareallyneurotoxicworld,andwehaven'tknownthisuntiljustthelastfewyears,it'slikewe'veallstumbledintothisinstantly.

DaveAsprey: Mm-hmmm(affirmative).

BrantCortright: Right?200,000yearsago,thebraingotits,youknow,this,thissizeinhumanbeings,inhomosapiens,andit'sjustbeenkindofrandomdevelopmentupuntilnow.Wedidn'tknowthatindividualbraincellsexisteduntilahundredyearsago.Sowhatincreasestherateofneurogenesisandwhatdecreasesit?Thesearebrandnewthings.Like,thepast5-10years,Imeanthisis...

BrantCortright: Likeeverybodyneedstoknowaboutthestuff.

DaveAsprey: That'sagreatquote.

BrantCortright: (laughs)Andit'sthesamewithneuroscience.

DaveAsprey: Yeah.

BrantCortright: Neuroscienceistooimportanttobelefttotheneuroscientists.Everybodyneedstoknowthestuff.So2thingsthatreallydecreasetherateofneurogenesisarebad,unhealthyfats...

DaveAsprey: Yes.

BrantCortright: ...andsugarandcarbohydrates.Now,IknowyouthisfromBulletproofdiet.Um,thegovernmentguidelinesarounddietfromthe'60sonhasbeenjusttheopposite,right?It'sbeenlow...

DaveAsprey: Yeah.

BrantCortright: ...fatandhighcarbohydrate.Andwenowknowthisistheexactoppositeofwhatweneedandthatthisoriginaldietwasbasedonnotonlybadscienceby[inaudible00:13:27],butitwasalsobasedonfailingtodistinguishbetweengood,healthyfatsandbad,unhealthyfats.

DaveAsprey: Yep.

BrantCortright: Bad,unhealthyfatsareessentiallyoxidizedfats,thetransfat,ofcourse,but,basically,oxidizedfats.

DaveAsprey: Which,whichmeansheat,lightorair,right?

BrantCortright: Heat,right,exactly,exactly,wheretheygorancid.Andsowhenthoseoxidizedfatsgetintoyourbloodstreamwhenthey'reabsorbed,whattheydoistheyoxidizethecholesterolinyourbloodstream,andthatoxidizedcholesterolproducesheartdisease,producesatherosclerosisanditproducesinflammation.Andinflammationisoneofthethingsthatjustslowsneurogenesistoacrawl.

DaveAsprey: Whenwasthelasttimeyouatefriedfoodatarestaurant?

BrantCortright: Uh,um,itwasacoupleofyearsagoatthispoint...

BrantCortright: ...whenI,whenIstartedresearchingthisbook.Imean,Ihatetosaythis.Iusedtolovefishandchips.

BrantCortright: Ijustusedtolove-

DaveAsprey: Ittastes,ittastesgood,but,man,for...

BrantCortright: Yeah.Yeah.

DaveAsprey: ...thebrain?Noway.(laughs)

BrantCortright: IthinkIstillloveit,butI,I[inaudible00:14:39]...

DaveAsprey: Yeah.

BrantCortright: ...right?Wedon'twanttocookwithvegetableoils.Right?

DaveAsprey: Uh-huh(affirmative),veryimportant.

BrantCortright: Wewanttocookwithcoconutoil,butter,ghee,lard,[aloe00:14:49].Um,wewanttoavoidcooking,uh,asyou'resaying,friedfoods,um,and,instead,wewanthealthyfats,sothatmeansavocados,nuts,grass-fedbeef,pasturedchicken,wild-caughtfish,um,pasturedeggsanddairy.

DaveAsprey: I'dsaywehavesomeagreementonthehealthyfatsources.Uh,those,thoseareallatthehighendontheBulletproofroadmap.And...

BrantCortright: Perfect.

DaveAsprey: Andit's,it'sinterestingbecauseyou'reoneofthefewresearchersthatI'vecomeacrosswitha,agoodacademicbackgroundwhoalsotalksaboutthespiritualeffectofthis,andsoyou,youtalkaboutbody,mindand,andspirit,uh,aswell.Andsowheredoyoufeelitfirst?Le-let'ssayyoueatsomeoftheseneurotoxicoxidizedfatsof,say,cornoil,uh,canolaoil,soybeanoil,uh,you,youknow,youhaveyourfriedonionringsorwhatever,uh,atarestaurantthat'sbeenfryinginthatsamefatmaybefordayssoit'sentirelyoxidized.Sowhere,wheredoyoufeelitfirst?Isit,uh,likephysical,orisit,isitlikemental?Isit,isitemotional?Isitspiritual?Li-likewhathappensfirstwhen,whendoyouperceivethis?

DaveAsprey: Uh,I,Ithinkthere's,there'shundredsofthingslikethatouttherethathaven'tbeendiscoveredorpopularized.

BrantCortright: Absolutely.Yeah,thescienceisjust,it'semergingaroundallofthis.So,um,thebookgoesintolike25or30differentnutrientsthatincreaseourrateofneurogenesis.Soabigoneoftheseareomega-3fattyacids.So,omega-3saremadeupofALA,EPAandDHA.AndDHAisthemostimportantbyfarforthebrain.Sothebrainismadeupofabout2/3fatsand,ofthat,1/3ofthatfatisDHA.
