1 小时 36 分钟Hello boys and girls, ladies and germs, this is Tim Ferriss.
Welcome to another episode of the Tim Ferriss show where it is my job to interview world class performers from all different disciplines to deconstruct how they do what they do.
Now in this case I wouldn't recommend replicating or attempting to replicate what some of the subjects patients, case studies have experienced, which is namely dying and then being revived in some capacity.
So don't do that.
But my guest today is Bruce Grayson, M.D.
he is the Chester F.
Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavior Behavioral Sciences and Director Emeritus of the Division of Perceptual Studies at the University of Virginia where he has practiced and taught psychiatry and carried out research since 1995.
He's also a Distinguished Life Fellow of the American Psychiatric association and his most recent book is After a Doctor Explores what Near Death Experiences Reveal about Life and Beyond.
He has studied documented more than a thousand near death experiences and what made him appealing to me as a guest with this incredibly unusual terrain is that he was raised with a secular, what we could call rational materialist worldview.
So with that introduction, I hope you enjoy this very wide ranging and unusual conversation.
But first, just a few words from the sponsors who make this possible.
I have been fascinated by the microbiome and probiotics as well as prebiotics for decades, but products never quite live up to the hype.
I've tried so many dozens and there are a host of problems.
Now things are starting to change and that includes this episode's sponsor, Seeds DS01 Daily Symbiotic now it turns out that this product, Seeds DS01 was recommended to me many months ago by a PhD microbiologist.
So I started using it well before their team ever reached out to me about sponsorship, which is kind of ideal because I used it unbidden, so to speak.
Came in fresh.
Since then it it has become a daily staple and one of the few supplements I travel with.
I have it in a suitcase literally about 10ft from me right now.
It goes with me.
I've always been very skeptical of most probiotics due to the lack of science behind them and the fact that many do not survive digestion to begin with.
