MIT Neuroscientist: The Ultimate Nootropic For Memory : 1326

Host Dave Asprey sits down with neuroscientist and physician Dr. Tony Nader, the global leader of the Transcendental Meditation movement. With an MD and PhD from MIT and Harvard, Dr. Nader bridges hard science with ancient wisdom, showing how TM measurably changes brainwaves, boosts mitochondria, and even slows biological aging. His research connects meditation to reduced stress, faster reaction time, and improved memory, giving listeners cutting-edge tools for smarter not harder living.


You’ll Learn:

• How Transcendental Meditation induces high-coherence alpha brain states that improve clarity, focus, and resilience

• Why TM increases blood flow to the prefrontal cortex and supports memory, decision-making, and creativity

• How meditation measurably reduces biological age by 5–10 years through stress reduction and physiological balance

• Why reaction time and situational awareness improve immediately after meditation — even used by fighter pilots

• How TM differs from mindfulness or concentration practices at the brainwave level (alpha vs. theta vs. gamma)


Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking. With over 1,000 interviews and 1 million monthly listeners, The Human Upgrade is the top podcast for people who want to take control of their biology, extend their longevity, and optimize every system in the body and mind. Each episode features cutting-edge insights in health, performance, neuroscience, supplements, nutrition, hacking, emotional intelligence, and conscious living.


Episodes are released every Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday (audio-only) where Dave asks the questions no one else dares, and brings you real tools to become more resilient, aware, and high performing.
