Hello friends, welcome back to the show. My guest today is Dr. Paul Conti. He's a Stanford and Harvard trained psychiatrist and an author specializing in unconscious trauma. If our mind was an iceberg, our conscious thoughts are the tip, and a huge mass below the surface are our unconscious thoughts. Dr. Conti's research works on bringing the forgotten, traumatic, painful and unseen into the light so that you can heal and improve. Expect to learn what people mean when they refer to the unconscious mind, what Paul wished people understood about how trauma works, whether ancestral trauma is something that can actually be passed down through your genetics, what happens to your brain and body after experiencing trauma, what we can learn from the little voices in our head, and much more.

They're literally unparalleled when it comes to rigorous third party testing and what you read on the label is what's in the product and absolutely nothing else. Dr. Andrew Huberman is actually the scientific advisor for Mementos. So if you've ever wondered what supplements he would create or what he really uses himself, this is the answer.

One of my favorite purchases over the last two years has been my Cold Plunge from the team over at plunge.com. They are the gold standard when it comes to cold therapy. You may have heard Joe Rogan and Andrew Huberman talking about the benefits of repeated cold exposure, and it is real. You feel so amazing after you've done it, and the improvement in your mood is insane. So if you've been thinking that you want to get started doing cold therapy, but you cannot be bothered going to the store to get yourself ice every single time you need to do it, this is for you. Also, they've just released their own sauna, which is ridiculously high quality as well. And we are bouncing between the two doing what's called contrast therapy, which makes you feel even better. So yeah, if you're looking to make a change, if you're looking to get yourself a cold plunge or a sauna for your house, this is the place to go.
