#44 - Why You Can't Meditate While Running From a Tiger, with Marek Doyle

Christofer and metabolic nutritionist Marek Doyle speak about the role of physiology in meditative success in this episode of Do Explain. They discuss Marek's own path to introspection, the energetic cost of emotional suppression, neural rewiring of maladaptive associations, technical debt, body tension, the misunderstood role of cortisol in the stress response, physical hurdles to psychological progress, Marek's approach to solving these, why everybody should supplement with magnesium, MDMA research and neurotoxicity claims, and other related topics.

Marek Doyle is a functional nutritional therapist based in London, England. He has spent the last 17 years reconciling the data from 3,000 patient outcomes and 11,000 test results to build a model of personalized nutrition, and has been featured by a range of media, such as Sky Sports, the Daily Mail, Mens Health and Marie Claire.
