SECRET Knowledge of the Body: Hacks That Actually Work

Oh my gosh. What is some real hidden knowledge that is actually testable and repeatable? See, in this video, we will not be going over any conspiracy theories. Today, I will be showing you real life hidden knowledge that actually works. I will be showing you things that launched my entire social media career. Now with great power comes great responsibility. And if you stick around to the very end, you will find out how to hack your mind for ultimate productivity. Ladies and gentlemen, these are what I call body hacks. Okay, so I found out this thing when I was very young. I found out that you can actually make smoke with your mouth without anything else. I do not have a vape and I'm not using anything else for this. This will be taken in one clean take. It's actually just basic chemistry, but how do you do it? Okay, so step one, put air inside your mouth. You have to heat it up somehow. The way I do it is I simply clack with my tongue like this. Really hard. It should look like this. Now after you've done that for 10 or 20 seconds, all you have to do is compress the air in your mouth, pushing all the air forwards using my tongue, my cheeks, and then also my fist. It should look something like this. Now what I also like to do is to use my other hand to help the compression a little bit. And when I put it all together, it should look like this. Boom. Now you can make smoke with nothing but your mouth. Oh my god. So next up is actually this thing called acupressure. Now acupressure is very popular in traditional Chinese medicine. It's this healing technique based on applying pressure on certain points in the body. This can be used to relieve pain or to relieve stress. But how do you do it? See a great example would be if you had a headache. Most people would tell you to just take a Tylenol or to go sleep, but according to acupressure, you can simply press this pressure point right here and you will just watch your headache disappear momentarily. Now of course, this is not medical advice, but if you have just the standard everyday annoying headache, I can testify it does work. Now for this one, I will not be able to demonstrate and you will find out why. You see, when I was young, especially when I was going through puberty, I would get a lot of these random erections, but what nobody told me was how to get rid of one fast. Well, it turns out that this would mostly be a blood flow thing. When you flex one muscle for one minute straight, a lot of the blood that was supplying that erection will simply go from the erection to whatever muscle you were flexing. Now that muscle has to be big enough to actually make a difference. So for me, what I would do is flex my thigh or my bicep. Okay, so the next one is one that you actually have to be careful with. It can make you quite dizzy. Whenever I get anxiety or whenever I get worked up or whenever I have to stick up for myself in literally any situation, my heart will beat really fast. And after years of hating how reactive my heart is, what I found was that you can actually slow your heartbeat on command. But once again, be careful with this one. You see, you have this thing called the vagus nerve. It would be somewhere over here in your neck. And the next time that your heart starts speeding really fast, all you really have to do is stimulate the vagus nerve. You can stimulate the vagus nerve by simply blowing on something without letting the air escape. It would look something like this. You should feel it somewhere in your chest. That is the exact thing that will make your heart slow down. Now why does this work? The vagus nerve releases acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is this neurotransmitter. But when this gets released to the heart, it'll end up reducing your heart rate. Alright, you made it this far into the video. Congratulations on your focus. Maybe consider giving it a like and subscribe if you haven't already. But anyways, how do you hack your mind for ultimate productivity? Well, this is something I actually have to get really technical about. Everything you do as a human kind of starts up here. Your wakefulness, feeling tired. These are all actually neurotransmitters, hormones, different chemicals in the body that allow you to do these things. So if you really want to hack your mind to become more productive, you're gonna have to learn about these neurotransmitters. One is called glutamate, a neurotransmitter. Two is called adenosine, also a neurotransmitter. But three is called melatonin. It's this hormone. But what do they do exactly? Oh my gosh, okay. In this video, I've been moving around a lot. And every time I move, I have to make a decision. The thing is, whenever I make decisions in my day, they all kind of get piled up in my prefrontal cortex. Now this is actually pretty common knowledge, but what people don't realize is that the more decisions you make in your day, the more clogged up your brain will get. And this is because of glutamate. The more decisions you make in your day, the more glutamate will be left in your brain. Now this science isn't fully researched yet, but after making a whole bunch of decisions, this glutamate kind of just sits around lingering and ultimately clogging up your mind. So if you've ever felt tired, but not like body tired, just mind tired, it might just be that you made a whole bunch of decisions in your day. So the very first piece of knowledge here is that you have to reduce the amount of decisions you make in a day because of this glutamate that kind of clogs up your mind. But this is where adenosine comes in. Adenosine is a very interesting thing. It's this neurotransmitter that makes you feel tired. Over time, as you go through your day, you build more and more and more adenosine, which eventually will make you feel like, man, I just want to go sleep. But here's the problem. Almost every single one of us drink coffee every single day, which actually blocks the adenosine receptors. Even though we drink coffee for energy, it doesn't actually give you any energy. All it does is blocks these adenosine receptors, which stops you from feeling tired. It doesn't actually give you energy. The fact is that coffee only lasts about five to six hours. But the issue with this is that whenever you have a cup of coffee, four, five, six hours later, you will go through a coffee crash, your adenosine shooting right back up to where it should have been. You see, when this happens, you immediately feel tired. Adding glutamate to the mix makes your prefrontal cortex tired, your decision making tired. And now all of a sudden you have your adenosine shooting up, which makes you even more tired. So then how do you fix this? Well, this is exactly why people tell us to drink coffee later in the day. Drinking coffee first thing in the morning only makes you tired four, five, six hours later and then you need to get another cup of coffee. But then if you just keep drinking coffee, you'll just never be tired enough to have a proper rest. So the knowledge here is that you just need to drink your coffee later in the day. But then what about the glutamate? You still have to make decisions in your day, so you still will get tired. The truth is the only way to undo the excess glutamate in your brain would be to simply take a nap or to go to sleep. But then how can you take a nap or go to sleep if you drink a whole bunch of coffee every day? That's the problem. But there's one more issue in all of this and that is this thing called melatonin. Melatonin is this very elusive thing in the modern human mind. See melatonin is this hormone that tells you when you need to be tired. The regular evolutionary scientists will tell you back when we were cavemen, our entire sleep schedule would be based off of the sun. When the sun rises, we get up and then when the sun goes down, we go to sleep. When the sun goes down and it gets dark, you start producing this melatonin and it only takes about 30 minutes to an hour to fully kick into your body. And if everything else is going well, then you can finally go to sleep. Now, what I believe is that this is just something that God has built into us. But the problem with this is that us modern humans, we have all of these lights and every time you turn a light on or have your phone close to your face or have the TV on, these are all different lights that kind of act like the sun. If the sun never went down, you would never produce melatonin. You see, nowadays we have all of these lights constantly. So it's almost as if the sun is up all the time. If you have all this glutamate in your brain making you feel tired, but you're drinking coffee, if you don't have any melatonin, you won't be able to go to sleep. The way to hack your mind for productivity is being aware and being able to control all of these three different chemicals. And the best way to do that is simply to sleep. The more decisions you make, the more glutamate you'll have in your brain. But then when you sleep, your glutamate will go down and it kind of resets a little bit. The more coffee you drink, the less adenosine you will have in your body, making you feel less tired. But after five or six hours, it'll shoot right back up and you'll feel tired again. Now, melatonin increases with darkness, but it decreases with light. Now, what I really find amazing is how people actually found out about this stuff. Ultimately, what that tells me is that there totally is hidden knowledge out there. It's just that you have to go and look for it. I really hope you enjoyed this video. Let me know what you thought of it. Maybe you watch another one of my videos if you have time. And with that, I'll see you in the next one.
