Episode 2066 – On this Friday show, Dr. Angela Stanton joins Vinnie Tortorich to discuss her work in neuroeconomics, learning about finance, treating and preventing migraines, sodium levels, and more.
NEUROECONOMICS
- Dr. Angela has a Ph.D. in economics.
- But her dissertation was on pure neuroscience.
- She is a neuroeconomist.
- This means she runs neuroscience experiments and actual clinical trials.
- When she looks at the outcome, she looks through financial models.
FINANCIAL SUCCESS
- Don’t focus too much on the books.
- The market is what you make it.
- It isn’t what people you it is.
- Dr. Stanton focused on the market for a long time and did well doing so.
- She says — who cares what other people buy?Â
- She’s an investor who buys from companies she would use the products of and companies she trusts.
- Tesla was one of these.
- She’s an investor who buys from companies she would use the products of and companies she trusts.
- She says — who cares what other people buy?Â
PREVENTING MIGRAINES
- Much of Dr. Stanton’s work focuses on migraines.
- A migrainer has more neurons associated with sensory neurons.
- This explains sensitivity to light, for example.
- Reducing sodium is a problem because having a satisfactory sodium level is important for brain health; especially for those with migraines.
- Additionally, glucose removes sodium from your cells when you eat glucose.
- Notably, eating a high glucose diet creates friction that contributes to migraines.
- If you take carbs out of your diet, you can see the effects if you suffer from migraines — assuming you get enough sodium.
- Many feel that they feel ‘dried out when they eat carbs.’
- Eating salt and taking electrolytes is very important, too.
