There are aspects of how physics and biology work that seem counterintuitive on the surface or perhaps just irrelevant and immaterial. When you connect enough dots and understand the linkages and the big picture, however, things suddenly become intuitive. It’s almost as if you’ve been looking at a painting upside down and all of a… Read More: Did You Know – Melatonin »
Relatively speaking, I haven’t made a lot of bad decisions or done a lot of crazy, ill-advised things in my life. I’ve always been the type to follow directions, do what you’re told, and respect authority, which I think is predominantly a good thing. No one is perfect, though, and it also helps to be… Read More: Pain Introspection »
As I begin, I should mentioned that I just noticed the significance of this “learning to fish” idea being used on a post dated December 24th, Christmas Eve. It wasn’t an intentional Christian reference, for good or bad, but it is a neat coincidence. Nevertheless, whatever one’s viewpoint on religion, I think we can all… Read More: Learning to Fish – My Evolving Beliefs on Health Strategies »
I had an “Ahah!” moment today, one that may not seem like much from the title, but between the lines it has more significance than it may seem. It may be a key insight into the nervous system, the up and coming new frontier upon which an important battle wages in the fight for maximizing… Read More: My Love for Female Singers…Explained by Polyvagal Theory »
Your mom was right; you are special…when it comes to your health, anyway (I’m sure you’re a great singer too). You are different. You react to things differently.

Generally speaking, we have avoided meditation, and it is all a great misunderstanding. The images of meditation pervasive throughout most of American culture are usually those of bald heads, robes, Buddha, and droning noises or strange music with bowls, bells, and chimes. It is seen as something complex, hard to understand, and requiring too much… Read More: Misunderstood Meditation »
I know, how lucky are you, right?! You’re actually luckier than you even thought because we’re talking about actually hanging (though you don’t get to spend any time with Mr. Betterman). That’s right, we’re going back to some of our evolutionary roots, from the primates that preceded us all the way to TV heroes like… Read More: “Hanging” with Bert Betterman »
It has taken me a long time to wrap my head around the subject of earthing and determine how best to write on the subject in an informational way. Over the series of times I have put keys to keyboard, there have been several hurdles I’ve had to get over in order to finish this… Read More: Bert Betterman Does Earthing »
The whole premise of biohacking is to learn lessons tied to your own biology to improve your environment and wellbeing. Sometimes those lessons are learned painfully; this is one of those times. Before you get scared and stop CT or stop considering it, you should know I still continue to do it now, successfully, and… Read More: Cold Thermogenesis II: Moisturize »
It took me a while to figure out how biologically stressful my job was. As I’ve said before, working for an investment company with a roof over my head to keep me out of the elements and away from “back-breaking” labor seemed to be a much better option than building, digging, and carrying things. And… Read More: Bert Betterman Optimizes the Office »
