indeed the name of climate change. for christmas is. one of the year's to the end of their future. deep local news dot com for comic a city the multimedia. clicks culture. hello and welcome to good shape do you have as many imperfections as i do my body fat and my resting heart rate are too high i'm also not satisfied with the way i process my
10:31 am
stress and i manage my time and i really have to do something about my wrinkles and i could be much more effective in my job and i also don't spend my leisure time in an optimal way and if i could get myself to drink more green tea i would be in better shape and more efficient and what about you are you working on yourself optimisations like me so what's the point can we be perfectly happy and can we be happily perfect. i'm eating paper feed she's assigns a journalist and she's written a book with a great title how good should i end up being and this is my 1st question how good should i end up being should end up being as good as you want to be and that is. ok but right now we're living in the age of self optimisation we're counting all the calories we're trying to go out for a run and so on so why do you think this is the age of soap operas because people
10:32 am
are comparing themselves with as a all the time and if the company where dozens of people and you're only one then you have to lose. do you have a pat did you happen to see a dog sitting in front of the mirror for hours grumpy because he's unhappy about his appearance also cat ever worried about how you might feel about her we humans are different we always want to be better than we are this is human nature it's always been like that but today it has become something more and self. we were just leave better work better better and live better. you get everything but it's never enough can you. can't there's always something i can get down. get it all you got this in the
10:33 am
system demands says total success for the least it's. a. must have self optimization oh man. when you just. get up one talks forehead i had my cheeks done once 2. chin. lips a brow lift and my jaw here they firmed up my jaw and i'm talking. i think that's all that's. ready to go. yes now you're in there with the what keep it up good might also.
10:34 am
go out of this but it is what you seeing here don't try this at home. this is basically a commercial freezer. if you can be sure what we got there for degrees like it was just it should be around 0 to 2 degrees. thank. goodness if you've been in for a minute now. let's you know. what a funny idea so what do you think what why is somebody using a freezer full of to musician well maybe you're thinking off ice cream that has always been comfort when you feel troubled the child all resumes you think ice cream is more like seeking comfort and to get some reward for the soap optimisation
10:35 am
yeah it's a reward and it's also like a security line in the way that feels so much in a world that feels like i am loud enough so i'm trying to proof so i'm safe in this but i would put myself into a freezer i mean this hurts this is painful why do i have to optimize myself over the trash old physical pain. so maybe what's next saying is somebody that says stop somebody that's caring for you and that's who says no don't do that you're good enough you already have done so much and you are good in this world and that's . somebody that is against your own thinking yeah but you might say this but when i think of myself i'm very hard on my health but i'm not as hard on you so why am i so hard on myself and look at other people be
10:36 am
a better friends for yourself that is kind that's part of the solution be a better friend for yourself and ask yourself ok if a friend was here now and i was saying this i was thinking this what would he or she say and then you can give yourself the answer because you already have it in you ok but if you really want to give it a girl and so popular as myself i really need some professional to help me like a personal trainer. i'm 36 years. i studied sports science in both woman cologne i've lived and worked as a personal trainer in berlin for the past 12 years and as a personal trainer i aim to help my clients attain the best possible level of physical mobility and.
10:37 am
i 1st try to define what my clients want to achieve they each have their own specific goals which can vary widely for some clients it's about losing weight others want to build strength and grow muscles everyone wants to be able to look in the mirror and feel good about themselves so i set up a training plan and then we get to work. exercise and fitness are not always the primary goals of training and optimization . i often work with my clients on stress management or nutrition those can be issues that need a lot of attention and all work. it's not just about doing an exercise once twice or 3 times a week and feeling that you can take the self optimization box for many of my
10:38 am
clients there are all kinds of other issues sleeping well that organizing it optimizing their work life or their family life i try to help with that i'll bounce ideas off them and offer support is best i can. put them out of. begins autumn and you should always start by defining your goals what would make you happy and you shouldn't let social media and other people's opinions influence you too much think about what you. i would like to look like and how you might get there a personal trainer can be of assistance but you can also read up on the matter yourself or get advice and support from your family or perhaps your colleagues and then chart your own course. in our high pressure society position can be
10:39 am
a never ending quest once you attain your i got weight you then want bigger muscles or lose even more weight you might even have a dream job but creative promotion i think you should always take things one step at a time and reflect on what your next goal might be all and work towards that without piling up a whole bunch of goals and ambitions stay focused try to sometimes just feel content and with that goodbye just. when you watch t.v. commercials all take a look at the industry wants to tell us you're not good you have to buy the new better so do you think this health optimisation is not from me but it's brought to me from the outside from rather companies exactly this is how making money works in the well right now so. companies the most money if we feel bad we're willing to spend more and we're willing to spend more on things that we probably don't need to advertise in that manner that makes us feel bad that's the best way
10:40 am
to make money right now ok but if i get better if i get smarter more handsome and so yeah it makes me feel good so what's so bad about it now it's great do it yeah think about what you say that. makes me not happy yet it will make you happy if you do too much so you get used to being a person that constantly works on himself so you did this or that and you try to be strong in the squad and try to be prepared for everything. but it won't work because. it's something new that comes out so you get on the pressure to do more and more and more and that's a lot of stress. if you want to be perfect all around tried by a. well you don't know what. it's to follow you think if you want to be flawless you have to be honest with yourself. concentration performance
10:41 am
sucks ass to keep up with the demands of everyday life we need to optimize our body the thinking behind how movement called biohacking markham's we want to challenge our bodies to make them more resistant. to pull is wearing a special mask that makes breathing more difficult. it's intended to strengthen his diaphragm this is g.m. biohacking is that you push yourself on the one hand to find out where your limits are so that you can go beyond them then on the other hand you try to come back to a flow state to relax. after training he regenerates at a so called. here you can find all kinds of equipment including the u.s. recovery that works for compression. you know. depending on how you program them you get a total partial foot massage. which can flush out lactic acid and other build up.
10:42 am
if you. can even it's so relaxing when the air goes out and your blood rushes back in. then it's on to the next thing. i turn on the red light briefly. trip like therapy is designed to reenergize the body and boost performance. while you can feel all your cells going. it's like the sun without thinking. after his regeneration session my head home there he tells us how he got into biohacking. as it was my birthday 6 years ago i turned 34 and i was just burned out i was gaunt had. you know when durant and i couldn't focus on anything more than the constant. he says biohacking helped him overcome the burn eyes. i had to find
10:43 am
a solution from my life so i tried out various biohacking techniques i improved my diet did more exercise i focused on my digestive health especially and work to improve my sleep. before he goes to bed he knows switches off his wife eye and makes sure he drinks enough fluids. he wears a special plaster to force him to breathe through his no it's supposed to improve his sleep he wears that old nice. but could not be harmful. almost anytime and he's a doctor specializing in sports medicine you took a look at our footage despite you think humans are not the biohacking in its mild form where there's do more sports have a healthy diet and get sufficient sleep it's certainly a positive thing but the more advanced version especially with this breathing risk
10:44 am
is more dangerous. vital that someone using this be under the supervision of a support stopped. iow hacking is perhaps not suitable for everyone but it seems to have helped. to find a way of burnout. is about just a secret between the 2 of us to try to optimise yourself sometimes. yeah that had to run and it's not going very well to try to optimize a little bit of what you stop a friend who says to you well i want to have a tummy tuck some. i would talk to her see what the and the lying feeling is that she feel bad that she feel insecure what i stopped her though because i'm not a friend but i was want to be there for her and see if i can do something to make
10:45 am
us feel better right so you try to advice or even better to just be your friend you just told me you started to run and it's not going very well but i'm running myself and it's going very well because i'm trying to optimize myself every single day counting my steps like calories that you can have my blood sugar tested sometime with a little tiny chip inside my skin so do you think i've got obsessions. sounds like you will definitely have an obsession there but 'd i can also see you that still happy so that's not a problem that's a good thing. well the perfect body is important you know but what about your brain ok our brain is good well at least. bad with the latest technology you can even bring it's called brain hacking. you harbison had his own brain 14 years ago he had an antenna attached to a skull he was
10:46 am
a walking living cyborg harbison is completely color blind the sensor registers colors which are then translated into a range of vibrations he can feel hear. it also allows him to hear like wavelengths that other humans cannot see. the way i see life and i perceive. that their nature now because i. exist in nature i feel more connected to other species. with species that can feel . and infrasound. the to the cause most. and feel the colors from space so it makes me feel more connected to reality and to nature and to other animal species. the world just 5 years from now we'll all be upgrading our brains with technology that's according to. the high tech
10:47 am
entrepreneur who co-founded the electric vehicle manufacturer tesla he also oversees research into turbo charging our brains. that's merely a mecca journalist them former professor of communications sciences was fascinated by the idea of enhancing creativity and thought processes using brain hacking but she sees the risks. we do know something about the brain but not a lot before we're starting to try to optimize it before we really understood it the brain is the seat of everything that makes us human emotions love identities personality intelligence to go in there and perform some technical manipulations to achieve a certain outcome. that's pretty borderline or even a step too far as a consequence of a. she did try out transcranial
10:48 am
direct current stimulation a low voltage current is passed through the brain it's found say it makes you better at a range of activities. that the effect was pretty immediate wasn't for a long time i couldn't eat i felt really sick and i couldn't sleep i felt totally wide awake but not in a good way for it was unpleasant and in the midst of course medical science is exploring ways to cure diseases by means of intervening in the brain diseases such as alzheimer's and depression. the brain game project develops brain computer interfaces this woman was able to move a robotic arm and to drink thinking about moving. her paralyzed on. the front that kind of research is entirely different from efforts to hack your way to more cognitive capital using electric currents drugs or implants to improve yourself to join the upper class of the cognitively enhanced. that's all about
10:49 am
trying to acquire opportunities and advantages for yourself it's a hobby you're some fans of so called cognitive enhancement use drugs such as ritalin or l.s.d. in micro doses. they say they make you walk away can put you in a great mood and let you work with ease and efficiency. it's not unproblematic if we use meds in order to cope with the ever tougher demands of a competitive society to be able to keep up cognitively when people are under ever greater pressure and you mention i want to look if we were his or teasing substances brain or neuron handsome and in order to meet those challenges and hence mentation are one hence we are resorting to means that were not intended to be used for that purpose. and.
