ENCORE: The Effects of Altered States of Consciousness, Part 1

Is your health portfolio complete without meditation? The new book “Super Mind” is the subject of today’s podcast with Dr. Norman Rosenthal, a clinical psychologist who has studied the effects of altered states of consciousness achieved by TM (Transcendental Meditation). TM has been shown to be effective for a variety of disorders including hypertension, PTSD, substance abuse, and anxiety/depression. The benefits of regular meditation extend to improved productivity and well-being, and a richer experience of life. What does TM entail? Are all meditation practices alike? Is TM a spiritual practice that is at odds with one’s religious orientation, or does it complement prayer and observance? What of recent reports that meditators may experience “side effects” like worsening of their psychiatric disorders? What happens to the brain and body in a meditative state? How do you know you’re doing it “right?” Added, proven dividends of meditation may include decreased sleep requirements and improved athletic performance. Click HERE for part 2.

The science of you, working better.

There’s a crucial molecule in your body that helps control your circulation, your energy, your stamina, your heart—even your sharpness of mind. It’s called nitric oxide.

After age 40, your body makes less and less of it. That means less blood flow. Less stamina. Less of you. But now there’s N1O1 nitric oxide lozenges, developed by Dr. Nathan Bryan — the world’s leading nitric oxide researcher.

I take them twice a day, especially before my workouts, to support healthy circulation and boost oxygen delivery to my muscles and brain. 

N1O1 is designed to naturally restore your body’s nitric oxide levels, and goes to work in minutes, releasing nitric oxide directly into your bloodstream, and helping you feel the way you’re supposed to feel.

More energy. Better blood flow. Sharper focus. Day after day.
