    B Strong
    I’ve been fascinated by blood flow restriction training for a very long time. B Strong made great innovations on this technology.
    I use it almost every day: high reps, low number of sets, a few exercises.
    If you want to get your B Strong blood flow restriction device, head on over to https://bstrong.training/ and use the code BOOMER, and you’re going to get yourself 10% off.

    BluBlox
    What brands of blue light blockers do we recommend? BluBlox is definitely a go to. The CEO Andy Mant on the show before where we got into a really deep dive on blue light. If you get any amount of blue light in your glasses, no matter if it’s 3%, 10%, it disrupts melatonin production. So Andy has created blue light blockers that hold up to the highest standards. And in fact, you can see he’s tested it versus other brands and that they always come out on top.
    Quality matters.

    Dave Siever joins the show to talk about audio visual entrainment. We delve deep into audio visual entrainment, its history, the scientific studies behind it, the typical use cases, clinical applications, and of course Dave's history.

    Who is Dave Siever? 
    Dave Siever, C.E.T., graduated from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT) in 1978 in Telecommunications. In 1980, he accepted a position at the University of Alberta, Faculty of Dentistry, as a design technologist.
    From late 1985 to 1987, Dave provided TMJ consulting services to 5 dentists in the Edmonton area. Over the years, Dave has helped treat approximately 1,500 patients with TMJ and MPD. This led to the inception of the original D.A.V.I.D. 1 in the spring of 1985, which was used in the Faculty of Arts to help acting students overcome stage fright.
    In the time since, Dave has continued developing several audio-visual entrainment (AVE), cranio-electro stimulation (CES), transcranial DC Stimulation (tDCS), and biofeedback devices, with each new development responding to technology changes and market demands. Dave still designs new products related to personal growth and well-being.

    Blinkist
    I try to consume about a book a week and that's normal reading, but there are countless numbers of business, self-help, and spiritual books that I want to get to, but don't really have the time.
    The folks of Blinkist solve this issue for me of just too many books with too little time by really condensing a lot of information into cliff notes.
    What they've done is they've made it into 20 pages of information and key takeaway. So I use Blinkist every single day.
    Head on over to https://www.blinkist.com/ for you, and you can really try one out yourself.
