In this episode of fx Medicine by BioCeuticals, host Lisa Costa-Bir speaks with naturopathic physician and nootropic expert Dr Greg Kelly about the evolving role of nootropics in supporting cognitive performance. Greg shares how plant-based and nutritional compounds - including bacopa (Bacopa monnieri), saffron (Crocus sativus), gotu kola (Centella asiatica), alpinia (Alpinia galanga), L-theanine, and nicotinamide riboside - can enhance focus, memory, motivation, and mental energy. The conversation explores how these agents work through key pathways such as acetylcholine signalling, neuroplasticity, and mitochondrial function. Greg also unpacks the concept of brain resource depletion, the impact of modern distractions, and why nootropics are just as relevant for healthy individuals as they are for those with cognitive challenges. He offers practical guidance on stacking, cycling, and how to support non-responders by returning to foundational naturopathic principles like sleep, nutrition, and stress management. This episode is packed with practical, science-backed takeaways for anyone looking to optimise focus, memory, motivation, and overall cognitive performance - whether in clinical practice or everyday life.

Are adaptogens truly powerful, or are they just another wellness trend? In this episode of Super Life, Darin Olien dives deep into the science and history of adaptogens, breaking down what they really do for the body. From his decades of superfood hunting, Darin shares firsthand experiences discovering powerful botanicals like ashwagandha, Rhodiola, maca, and Schisandra, and how these ancient remedies are finally being recognized by modern science. He also uncovers the hidden truth about supplement quality, the best adaptogens for stress relief, and why some companies are misleading consumers with under-dosed, ineffective products. If you want to reduce stress, boost energy, and understand the REAL benefits of adaptogens, this episode is a must-listen. What Are Adaptogens? Definition: Adaptogens are compounds that enhance the body's resilience to stress and promote recovery by normalizing physiological processes, boosting energy and endurance, and protecting against cellular damage. Used in Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and Indigenous Healing Practices for centuries. Modern science is now validating—or challenging—these ancient uses. Scientific Evidence on Adaptogens for Stress Relief Comprehensive Benefits of Adaptogens A 2023 review confirmed the effectiveness of adaptogens in managing conditions linked to chronic stress, including anxiety, depression, fatigue, and cognitive disorders. The study highlighted commonly used adaptogens such as Rhodiola Rosea, Panax Ginseng, Eleuthero, and Ashwagandha as having significant therapeutic potential (Altanova & Korolyova, 2023).   Human Trials Show Adaptogens Can Reduce Stress A randomized, placebo-controlled trial found that adaptogenic supplements significantly improved stress resilience in 215 elite athletes. Markers such as cortisol levels, fatigue severity, and cognitive function showed measurable improvements (Hovhannisyan et al., 2017).   The Mechanism Behind Adaptogens' Effect on Stress Adaptogens regulate stress response pathways, particularly the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, controlling cortisol levels and stress markers like nitric oxide. This means they help maintain homeostasis and protect against both acute and chronic stress (Pawar & Shivakumar, 2012).   Effectiveness in Mental and Behavioral Disorders A systematic review on adaptogens found that Rhodiola Rosea, Eleutherococcus Senticosus, and Schisandra Chinensis all had documented effects on stress-related disorders, particularly by modulating neuroendocrine function (Panossian, 2013).   Ashwagandha and Rhodiola Specifically Target Stress and Fatigue A 2017 study reviewed the effects of Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, and Bacopa on cortisol levels and fatigue. The study concluded that these herbs significantly reduced stress-related fatigue and improved cognitive function (Ajala, 2017).   Potential Industry Bias in Adaptogen Research Some studies point out that while adaptogens have shown promise in treating stress and aging-related diseases, there is still limited large-scale human clinical data, and more rigorous studies are needed. The variability in adaptogen potency due to genetic and environmental factors complicates assessments of their true effectiveness (Panossian et al., 2020). Additionally, some adaptogen formulations are standardized by supplement companies, which raises concerns about industry influence on the research outcomes. Most Shocking Findings Adaptogens Can Mimic Stress to Build Resilience: They act as mild stress mimetics, triggering the body's adaptive stress response in small doses, similar to how a vaccine stimulates the immune system (Panossian et al., 2020). Cortisol Regulation is Key: Studies show adaptogens normalize elevated cortisol levels, preventing burnout and cognitive decline (Ajala, 2017). Elite Athletes Showed Significant Gains: Athletes taking adaptogens had a measurable improvement in reaction time, stress tolerance, and performance, suggesting real physiological benefits (Hovhannisyan et al., 2017).     Key Adaptogenic Herbs & Their Scientific Evidence 1. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) Study: “A Review on Adaptogenic Activity of Ashwagandha (Withania Somnifera): An Ayurvedic Appraisal” Dosage Used in Studies: 300-600 mg/day Key Findings: Ashwagandha significantly reduces cortisol levels, enhances stress resilience, and improves cognitive function (Shrilata et al., 2017). Direct Quote from Study: "Ashwagandha has been shown to significantly reduce stress-related cortisol levels and improve anxiety symptoms in clinical trials." 2. Rhodiola Rosea Study: “The Effects of Adaptogens on the Physical and Psychological Symptoms of Chronic Stress” Dosage Used in Studies: 200-600 mg/day Key Findings: Rhodiola improves mental clarity, reduces fatigue, and stabilizes stress-induced hormonal changes (Ajala, 2017). Direct Quote from Study: "Rhodiola Rosea has demonstrated significant anti-fatigue and anti-stress properties, improving cognitive function and resilience in individuals exposed to chronic stress." 3. Schisandra Chinensis Study: “Adaptogens in Mental and Behavioral Disorders” Dosage Used in Studies: 500-1500 mg/day Key Findings: Schisandra enhances adrenal function, improves focus, and has neuroprotective effects(Panossian, 2013). Direct Quote from Study: "Schisandra has adaptogenic effects that enhance cognitive performance, improve stress resilience, and protect the nervous system from oxidative stress." 4. Maca Root (Lepidium meyenii) Study: “Effects of Adaptogens on the Central Nervous System” Dosage Used in Studies: 1500-3000 mg/day Key Findings: Maca supports energy levels, hormonal balance, and mood stability (Panossian & Wikman, 2010). Direct Quote from Study: "Maca root exhibits adaptogenic activity, particularly in enhancing physical stamina and resilience against psychological stress."     Shocking Research Insights Adaptogens Mimic Stress to Build Resilience Some researchers describe adaptogens as “mild stress mimetics”, triggering small stress responses that strengthen the body's ability to handle major stressors (Panossian et al., 2020). Clinical Trials on Elite Athletes Prove Effectiveness A randomized controlled trial on 215 elite athletes found that adaptogens significantly improved stress tolerance, reduced cortisol, and enhanced reaction time (Hovhannisyan et al., 2017). Industry Bias: Are Adaptogens Overhyped? Some studies highlight a lack of large-scale, independent research and potential conflicts of interest in studies funded by supplement companies (Panossian et al., 2020). Final Thoughts: Science or Pseudoscience? Science-Backed Benefits Exist: Studies show adaptogens modulate stress response systems, reduce fatigue, and improve mental performance. More Human Trials Needed: Many studies rely on animal models or small-scale trials. The lack of large-scale, independent clinical trials leaves some uncertainty. Potential Industry Bias: While there is strong evidence for adaptogens, commercial interests may be influencing research directions and outcomes.     What You'll Learn in This Episode: (00:00:00) Introduction – The growing hype around adaptogens: real or marketing?

Why does the human body need NAD+ to function properly and why do most people get depleted of NAD+ over time? By the end of this episode, you'll have an understanding of how NAD+ works to power the brain, what's wrong with the U.S. healthcare system, why biohacking should be the standard of medicine, and how hitting rock bottom can become the turning point. 20% Off Nadovim The only clinical-grade NAD+ brain supplement used by physicians to improve: Focus, Concentration + Memory.

Bacopa monnieri SaunaSpace - 10% off using code "JOSH10" Paul Chek: All Is God Power Quotes From The Show NAD+ as Brain Fuel "To give the brain proper energy levels that it needs to focus, concentrate, do all of the things it does within a day, let us breathe, we don't even know about half of it. It's happening without us doing anything. But it's taking up energy. You need to power the brain. NAD+ is probably the most critical element in powering the brain. If you look at it from that standpoint of "what do you need to have a productive day?" To have a day where you don't lack energy and mental clarity? All these things that so many people are facing right now. That's NAD+." - Caspar Szulc Your Diet + Lifestyle Should Matter to Doctors "Doctors don't believe nutrition as anything. That is not a factor at all. We've got drugs, we've got surgery, you're good. You don't need to talk to the patient even about their diet or their lifestyle. If you changed the educational system where doctors came out and started more on this functional basis of "tell me about you and what you're doing on a daily basis, I'll show you the results of the labs and we're going to meet in the middle somewhere." We're going to plan something where we start with lifestyle changes. We don't start with heavy drugs and cutting you open. Those are the last resorts. And if you look at medicine, that's their first resort. That's disease care medicine, that's not health care." - Caspar Szulc Biohacking vs Modern Medicine "I truly believe biohacking is just the difference between where medicine should be and just the starting point. What I mean by that is you usually biohack when you're healthy and get super healthy from it. Whereas in medicine you usually start at a sick point and you get to a healthier point." - Caspar Szulc Improving 1% Every Day Is Enough "If you made just 1% improvement every day for a year, at the end of the year, you'd be 37 times better as a whole because of that 1%. Don't think that you have to change so much in one day. Don't think if you can't sleep, you're eating poorly, you have these symptoms, and you're fatigued, that you need to change that within a month. The reality of the story is you've probably been leading up to that for years and years. So it's going to take some time to unravel. And that's ok." - Caspar Szulc Our Health + The Health of The World "We are the microbiome of the world. If we are unhealthy, the world is unhealthy. If we are unhealthy, we don't care that we use plastic everywhere and that we corrupt everything with chemicals. I don't want to put chemicals in my body.

Lucas invites Emiel Bakker, the product development specialist from Nootropics Depot on the show to discuss the new non-psychedelic cognitive enhancer. The M1 positive allosteric modulation effects, combined with the 5-HT2A positive allosteric modulation effects, gives Cognance an incredibly unique, yet very clean nootropic effect. We believe that this is a new chapter in the nootropic scene, and we hope that this process has illustrated that nature harnesses some of the most profound neuromodulators on the planet! Of course, sometimes requiring clever human intervention to liberate these fantastic molecules!

In this episode, Casey reviews Bacopa Monnieri - a compound that has been used for thousands of years to help with cognitive function and health. Despite its history, there are very few well-controlled research trials investigating its usefulness. Casey looks at the only trial done in healthy adults that investigated Bacopa's use as a memory enhancer. Give it a listen, the results may surprise you!

Today, I am blessed to have here with me Scott Ohlgren. He has lived his life as a self-proclaimed adventurer and trailblazer. Scott is originally from a small town in Wisconsin and, after traveling the world, spent many years in Boulder, CO. Scott and his wife currently reside in Sarasota, Florida.  Scott is the author of several books on wellness and was the developer of the drink Brain Toniq, carried primarily by the Whole Foods brand. Scott's wellness business, Synaptic Science, features the cutting-edge science of nootropics. In this episode, Scott reveals how he got started in the health space and the inspiration behind his wellness business, Synaptic Science. Scott explains the research behind cognitive-enhancing plants and how he came up with plant-based ingredients to nourish the mind. Tune in as we dive into Scott's product Cognition; it's a highly concentrated liquid brain-boosting supplement, a mix of Ayurvedic plant extracts that each has been shown to support beneficial effects on brain health, emotions, and overall mental wellness.

After traveling, Scott learned about the connection between diet and diseases. Scott went to a school where he learned all about the connections between disease and diet. He ended up writing three books on the connections. Scott loves to talk about the idea of cleansing; it's the idea of eating very clean for certain periods of time.   [16:30] The Research Behind Cognitive-Enhancing Plants Scott always hires people smarter than him. Through Brain Toniq, Scott met someone who was extremely knowledgeable in botany. He understands the power of plants in healing humanity. It took a long time to find the right ingredients for Scott's products – many iterations were too bitter for consumers. Scott started Synaptic Scientific because he's interested in feeding the system with plant-based ingredients that nourish the mind.   [23:45] What You'll Notice After Using Cognition From Synaptic Scientific What a supplement does for one person will be different for somebody else. Any cognitive boosting plant or compound will markedly improve a variety of mental functions. Ingredients that Scott includes in Cognition: Mucuna pruriens Convolvulus pluricaulis Centella asiatica Celastrus paniculatus Bacopa monnieri Ocimum sanctum Griffonia simplicifolia A-glyceryl Phosphoryl Choline You can expect to feel a sense of wellbeing when you take Cognition. Plus, these ingredients support overall brain health. Scott says that Cognition makes him sleep very well. Use code “ketokamp” here: https://synapticscientific.com/   [33:05] The Best Way You Can Use Cognition In Your Daily Life Cognition contains 1 bottle, 120ml. One serving is 2ml (about four pumps), so each bottle has 60+ servings.  Leave it at room temperature. Cognition contains MCT oil. If you put it in the fridge, then it's not going to shake well. So, leave it a room temperature and give it a shake. Use a spoon because the pump isn't that accurate. 3 – 6 ml a day is about average. For some people, 1 ml can be too much. Americans have to start putting more bitters into their diets; it is the key to liver and gallbladder health.   [38:40] How Cognition Is Nourishing The Brain Instead of Tweaking It You want to take enough Cognition so that you actually feel the difference. Sometimes, it's better to split Cognition up into two or three servings in a day. If you take enough, you'll experience the following: Increase in mental focus Loss of brain fog A sense of motivation An ability to focus An uptick in mood and a sense of wellbeing A lessening of anxiety Fewer frustrations The ability to sleep much better   AND MUCH MORE!   Resources from this episode: Check out Synaptic Scientific (use code: ketokamp): https://synapticscientific.com/?ref=ba Follow Scott Ohlgren LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottohlgren/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/scottohlgren Read The 28-Day Cleansing Program: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0098AD1QS/benazadi-20 Join theKeto Kamp Academy: https://ketokampacademy.com/7-day-trial-a WatchKeto Kamp on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUh_MOM621MvpW_HLtfkLyQ Order Keto Flex: http://www.ketoflexbook.com -------------------------------------------------------- / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  PureForm Omega Plant Based Oils (Best Alternative to Fish Oil): http://www.purelifescience.com Use ben4 for $4.00 off.

Explicamos el escándalo de tú antes molabas, el Bacopa, ser snobs, lavarte la cara con flores, realities pochos y acabamos con La Rookie del Momento haciendo nightcore karaoke con gasolina. Te prometemos que es más divertido que el hormiguero y que el broncano. Aunque tampoco es muy difícil.

Bacopa monnieri er en plante, som stammer fra vådområder i det sydlige og østlige Indien, hvor den er bedre kendt under navnet Brahmi. Planten har været anvendt i mange år i den traditionelle ayurvediske medicin for dens gavnlige virkning på hukommelse, læring og kognitive funktioner. I forskningsmiljøet har fokus primært ligget på plantens effekt på hukommelse og indlæring, og det gælder især for det veldokumenterede Bacopa-ekstrakt CDRI 08, som findes i Keen Mind.

Today on the SuperFeast podcast, Mason chats to holistic health coach and nutrition response testing practitioner Vanessa Fitzgerald about her healing journey with addiction, Orthorexia, Hashimoto's, and navigating her platform as a wellness influencer. What I loved most about this conversation was Vanessa's realness, discussing everything from her 13-year Adderall (prescription amphetamine) addiction to the pervasiveness of Orthorexia among people working in the wellness industry. Her candid approach to wellness is something Vanessa's known for, often using her influencer platform to talk about the uncomfortable truths that come with all facets of mind/body healing. Vanessa opens up about her work as a holistic wellness practitioner and why she's so passionate about helping others heal themselves from addiction, PCOS, mental illness, and auto-immune, the way she did herself. Make sure you tune in for this authentic conversation.   "We're not healing you, you're healing yourself, but as practitioners, we're guiding you there. When I found this, I had never felt that good in my life. All my auto-immune issues started to reverse, and everything just felt better. And this is why I am so passionate about what I do".    - Vanessa Fitzgerald   Mase and Vanessa discuss: Adderall detoxing. Autoimmune healing. Perfectionism burnout. Addiction and withdrawal. Healing the gut; food as medicine. SOT chiropractic technique for post addiction. Nutrition Response Testing for the nervous system. Supporting the brain and nervous system through withdrawals. Orthorexia; a common eating disorder in the wellness industry. Ashwagandha and other tonic herbs for healing and rebuilding post addiction.   Who is Vanessa Fitzgerald?   Vanessa Fitzgerald (Vee) is a health & life coach, recipe developer, ex yoga teacher, and overall wellness wizard. Her practice (VeesHoney) is about living a vulnerable, honest, authentic, and vibrant life with the help of the right foods to bring your mind and body back into balance. Through her platform, Vee hopes to help individuals cultivate their best selves with natural beauty tips, healthy recipes, clean ingredients, and various tips and tricks to help people reach their goals. Diagnosed with PCOS at age 19, celiac disease at 23, Hashimoto's at 25, and having an Adderall addiction for 13 years, Vee has had to overcome some massive health obstacles. Learning to eat the right foods for her body changed her life, and she now shares this passion, helping her clients achieve the same. Her unique practice focuses on the individual, working with each client to create a wellness plan designed to enhance every aspect of life. Her theory is that everything must be done with moderation—even including moderation itself. Vanessa attended NYU as an undergrad, studied yoga at the Bikram Yoga College of India, where she received her teaching certification. She studied at the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, where upon graduation, she worked as a private health coach in New York City. Vee attended the Biomedex Institute, where she trained in live blood education and furthered her studies in Whole food supplements, homeopathic medicine, and Nutrition Response Testing at the Ulan School. Vanessa has successfully reversed her Hashimotos diagnoses, is thriving with PCOS without the help of medications, and has kicked a 13 year Adderall addiction to the curb through a healing plan of organic whole foods and supplements.

I wish I was actually physically in Australia, but this will do for now.   Mason: (00:09) Yeah, you're feeling that you've been watching ... living vicariously through us, living in the-   Vanessa: (00:14) Yeah. FOMO and Instagram, just watching all my Aussie friends move back home, and it just looks fabulous beach life, the food. I don't know. It feels nice.   Mason: (00:24) You don't get arrested for going surfing.   Vanessa: (00:27) That's nice.   Mason: (00:28) That's nice. It's really nice.   Vanessa: (00:31) That's really nice.   Mason: (00:34) Verse LA, which is a crazy state.   Vanessa: (00:36) Very crazy. Very crazy.   Mason: (00:39) Yeah. It's like you guys are ... you're still at the epi-centre, that was always still like a magnet for the melting pot of LA where everything that has ... everything that comes over from any wisdom tradition intersects with the Western world mostly through LA, and it's just weird stew of figuring out how to integrate it without misappropriating and blah, blah, blah, you guys. I mean, it's a fun place to be, and then-   Vanessa: (01:08) Oh, totally. But there's a bunch of misappropriation left and right. Everybody thinks that they've discovered the cure, which is usually from some other ancient tradition.   Mason: (01:19) I mean, I talk about this a lot, and I know I've talked to you about influences and navigating that world and the pressure to become a mega expert and find the cure. I can only stay in LA for, I don't know, two weeks before I get-   Vanessa: (01:38) Spontaneously combust?   Mason: (01:40) Yeah. Pretty much. I mean, I get counter-cultured to the wellness saying in which I live in, and I'm like, ah, no, no, I just had this existential crisis. But I mean, how do you navigate all that? I mean, because you're moving and shaking, you seem to be doing it in a really centred way, and I want to talk about how it came about through the Adderall, real ... that's just on a hand on heart, authentic sharing, that's serious shit, getting that out there and helping people go through that. But how do you hold your centre in the Lala wellness waves?   Vanessa: (02:15) Well, I feel like I've lost my, my centre actually lately. It's funny with the whole Adderall detox and all of that, I was kind of new to Instagram, and it was just so pure and innocent and exciting. It felt like a fun platform at the time, and I think once my practise kicked up and I became this practitioner, too many people were coming to me as the expert and the voice. I think as a recovering perfectionist, I just became paralysed and focused on my practice rather than like, well, I have to be perfect, I have to be super studied on every single possible thing there is from biohacking to hormones in order to be valid or even say anything on the internet, which is impossible, unless I were just to study all day every day. Yeah. Between that and then all of the political controversies starting with the beginning of COVID, I pretty much distanced myself from social media at the time and stopped engaging in DMs and stopped engaging in all of that, because it was all of this twisted information constantly.   Vanessa: (03:33) Still to this day, nobody knows anything. It's crazy. Everybody thinks they know something, and then we find out six months, a year later, that was completely wrong, people are wiping down their groceries, for example, and now they're like, you don't need to wipe down your groceries, things like that. And then there were a lot of political movements last year and a lot of narratives that were circulating around Instagram, and I just decided to distance myself. That felt very grounding for me and more centering, I think I needed to find my centre because I was getting caught up in all of it. But no, I think it's a daily challenge. I do a lot of breath work, I try to have a healthy relationship with the platform, but in my honour, as much as I was, no, because I'm also trying to run my practise and be present with my clients. I think energetically, it takes a lot out of me to be talking and touching people all day long. And then at the end of the day, the last thing I want to do is get on and perform again.   Mason: (04:37) That [inaudible 00:04:40]. I mean, I hope everyone's still entertained by me talking about this because I love this subject, and you just nailed a couple of things, which I think is like, this is the kind of information I like having getting out there into the health and wellness scene because it creates a capacity for transitions and awareness, especially when you go through that stage where ... I mean, I was just thinking, I was walking back from our cafe over to the office, and I was thinking about how I'm like, I am a CEO, I've got a four year old kid, I'm newly married, and so really feeling what that archetypically does and navigating that space. And then I expect myself to have an Instagram muscle man body, and my mentor is a guy that's like Chico [inaudible 00:05:26], so I expect myself to be able to do different wood splits. That's where I'm at.   Mason: (05:33) A few years ago, I relate to the fact that I became obsessed with knowing everything that possibly was. And no matter what someone asked me, I could be an expert on that subject, and also burnt out and had to object from that identity. I use comedy, and now I feel like it's a pathology. I think you're transitioning way healthier than I ever did, but I had to extreme comedy to check myself out, and a progressive therapy and meditation and just trying to come back to reality. But it's a hard core. It's a skill that's lacking, and people don't talk about, and they keep on perpetuating that they know what's up. And so, I think it's awesome. I really value you talking about it, because you look at you, you're still doing it well, but you're distancing yourself from that platform or that persona, which I think is rad.   Vanessa: (06:30) Yeah. Yeah. My ideal way to go about this platform now would just be fun and share whatever I feel is on my mind, but it's like, I feel this weight. Maybe it's self-imposed, but maybe it's also an energetic things that I'm taking up on, and everybody's trying to one-up each other. Sometimes I'm like ...   Mason: (06:56) That's what LA is. And by osmosis, the rest of the wellness scene, it's just [crosstalk 00:07:04]. The whole health ... influencer, I never felt I related to the influencer, but I was an educator, whatever that means, a health educator. The level of competitiveness I felt as well in the early days, but then I started noticing swirling through the scene of everyone trying to one-up knowing new biomarker or some new biological pathway, or going, that's all wrong because I've got the ancient, holistic wisdom and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. It's like going to war.   Vanessa: (07:34) It is. It is going to war. That's exactly what it is. I feel like there has been a war that has been waged even more so this past year, and maybe I just woke up to it, but I was like, this isn't sustainable anymore, I got to figure out a new way of doing this. So I'm still trying to navigate that. But yeah, between therapy and breath work and all the things just to keep me sane, I've had my fair share of breakdowns especially this past year.   Mason: (08:01) I think you go to war, I can speak for myself. I was going to war when I didn't have a boundary, and why didn't have the ability to go, "Hey, shut up now, because you don't know. Now just shut up." And the same when you get into questions, getting questions about just colon cancer and this and that, I've now learned how to work with practitioners and have appropriate conversations. I had to do that for my whole team as well, it's a very stressful thing to actually be there. And I can imagine-   Vanessa: (08:32) Yeah, I can imagine too, but you have a product you're giving out, so people are probably looking to the products, the SuperFeast, is this going to cure my cancer? That's a lot.   Mason: (08:43) It is. I mean, back in the day, they would be like, didn't associate me with the product yet. You'd get the people writing the most incredible symptoms and disease states too, just over an Instagram message. I assume, you know what that's like.   Vanessa: (08:58) Oh, no, I get those all the time, and I get the cancer messages too, but I just say that I really can't. Actually, I'd be doing a huge disservice to say anything over a DM.   Mason: (09:13) Yeah, this world's crazy. I mean, the going to war, I was thinking about, I said it on someone else's podcast yesterday. And I was like, especially when you get to the point when you realise you don't know ... when you're a hobbyist, for me, I feel like I'm a hobbyist in health. And that's an appropriate thing, I'm a hobbyist when it comes to Taoism and TCM. I'm not going to sit here and say I'm an expert. Therefore, you need to be able to take the piss out of yourself, or you need to be able to just be very evident that you are on a little bit of an exploration here, and people need to have the capacity to take you off the pedestal at any point. When you can't do that and you can't take yourself off the pedestal, I mean, you just get defensive and double down. And the latest one is like you know what, and everyone just needs to do what they need to do, and everybody is unique and you just need to eat right for you. It's like, well, that's a crazy bypass, and that's such a bullshit statement.   Mason: (10:11) Anyway, I've been going more and more down this rabbit hole, I think that level of education needs to come forth, I'm stoked you're doing it. But let's hear about you. I think I met you just after the Adderall thing exploded. I think the majority of your detox was complete at that point, but you were just right on the upward curve of becoming known for it. Did you have an Instagram around general wellness, and then just start bringing in the Adderall reality? Or did you just launch straight off into Instagram detoxing Adderall?   Vanessa: (10:59) No, I have a general wellness Instagram, but it was a very fluffy general wellness Instagram. I was always a little bit, I want to say shy, but that has to do with past high school trauma, putting myself out there. I was always very hesitant, but I dated an Aussie actually, who was always telling me, you need to be put yourself out there more, you need to just keep filming, keep taking photos, keep doing these types of things, because that's what the people want to see and you have a message to give. When I realised that I had a problem with the Adderall, because it had been so many years, and it was never ending and I couldn't even get out of bed without taking the pill-   Mason: (11:45) Did that make you, because that would have been going on for a while, were you in denial for ages or did you always know that it was a problem? And then what got you over the line in being able to actually have the strength to do something about it?   Vanessa: (11:57) I guess I never necessarily saw it as a problem because it wasn't like I was taking a crazy amount of it, but I would take it every day to function, and I just thought, oh, it's a prescription medication. It almost becomes so second nature that I wouldn't even think about it. It was like brushing my teeth, it was just a part of my life for so long. And I think what happened was it just ... well, I know what happened, was that the more I got into wellness, the more educated I became, the more I would choose expanders around me, who I wanted to be more like, whether it was jus embody more of this flow state or this ability just to be positive and loving and just present in a way that I didn't feel that I was. When I realised that, that's when I thought, wow, I'm taking speed all day, how could that possibly put me in a flow state?   Mason: (13:00) I was going to say I didn't actually know what Adderall was when I was first talking to you. And I was like, okay, cool, some crazy American medication. It's speed. Speed for me, it makes me think it'd been made up into a little back shed bikey gang in an old walk that's never been cleaned.   Vanessa: (13:21) Totally.   Mason: (13:22) [crosstalk 00:13:22] speed with that clinical ... so it is prescribed?   Vanessa: (13:26) Yes. And it says amphetamine on it. That's what it is. That's what Adderall is. Some people are like, I need Adderall, doctor, I need Adderall, and I'm like, you don't have an amphetamine deficiency. What is amphetamine doing for your brain? Cognitively, I honestly want to know, what is it boosting in your brain? Do you realise what amphetamine is? When you actually walk through the ingredient that is in this medication, you realise it's not this magical brain boosting drug as I see countless clients come in here, and all of a sudden, they're gaining weight rather than losing weight. They can't focus on anything, they're suffering from chronic fatigue, but they're still popping speed every single day, because it's just amphetamine, it's just like any other drug. You plateau on the drug, and also at a certain point, the drug is going to have a reverse effect because it's going to start to deplete your brain of dopamine. It's going to start to wear down your adrenals, it's going to start to cause a lot of gastroenteritis and upset in your digestion. Just like anything else.   Mason: (14:29) Is it prescribed for ADHD or just for not getting out of bed?   Vanessa: (14:34) Yeah. ADD, ADHD and sometimes depression. But it's funny, because Adderall can also cause depression.   Mason: (14:41) Well, I mean, again, you deplete dopamine when you [crosstalk 00:14:44]. What did you find your first step was?   Vanessa: (14:51) I knew that I wasn't going to do it if I just decided to just quit on my own and not tell people. I kept it a secret. I wasn't telling my family that I was still on it, my friends didn't know I was on it. I'd always sneaky, go to my or whatever to go take it constantly throughout the day. It was still just a very secretive thing. I knew that knowing myself, I had to be held accountable. I knew that I had to tell as many people as possible, and I thought, why not tell the 5,000 followers I had at the time that I have a problem and that I'm taking this drug. That was the very, very, very first step. I also knew that I was going to have to set myself up for eating very, very clean. I already knew all about brain fog and the interior nervous system in the gut, and just because of what I did for a living in my education around it, I knew actually what I had to do in order for myself not to feel run down.   Vanessa: (15:57) So, I had set myself up for success, I had a bunch of groceries from the farmer's market lined up, I was ready to eat super clean. I had all of my brain boosting alternatives that I wanted to try out, and I also had a [inaudible 00:16:15] chiropractor, so it's a sacral occipital technique, basically just making sure I was structurally aligned, so enough cerebral fluid was slowing to my brain, and then I just went out with it. I told everybody, and I also gave myself a week to just sleep if I needed to take a nap or just do what I felt that that morning was necessary, because it had been 13 years and I didn't have this drug to force me to do all these things. I also knew it was very important that I stop drinking alcohol for a period of time, because I can't tell you if I even knew really what a hangover was, because I would just take Adderall the next day.   Vanessa: (16:57) I knew that I had to stop anything that was going to make me want to take the drug, and I started there, and then I just took to Instagram. It wasn't live. It's not like I filmed it and then posted it right away. I posted it, and on day four, is when I started sharing because I was so afraid of what would happen, like are people going to attack me? Am I going to lose all respect? Is this sharing too much personal information? Things like that. I was questioning a lot, ruminating on it a lot. Then I talked to a few people that I respect and that have platforms and they were like, no, I think this is great. Go ahead. Do it, please. And then I did, and then it turned out that the first day, I had 800 DMs of people all saying ... 800, and I only had 5,000 followers at the time, but 800 DMs said that they were on Adderall too, or a drug similar to it.   Mason: (17:59) Because I think I ... I mean, I just had to catch myself off on this scene. Did you know that there were a lot of people? Was it just something in America you know like, all right, cool, there's going to be a lot of people in that role, or is it a silent, secret little club that you weren't aware that ... I mean, obviously, you weren't aware that there were that many people, but were you aware that there were heaps of people that would have been dependent like you?   Vanessa: (18:26) What I knew was in high school and college, a lot of people had this. I first learned about it from another girl in my high school grade, and there were girls in my high school and in college that were snorting it, and using it as a recreational drug. I knew that much, but I thought, no one that I knew, definitely no one in the health industry took this stuff whatsoever. And little did I know that almost ... I can't even tell you how many health coaches, Pilates instructors, spin instructors, life coaches, all wrote me saying that they were on it as well.   Mason: (19:04) Just back to that, I mean, how did you ... because this is why I really like, and I say it, this isn't just a hand on the heart, I'm going to tell you something vulnerable, this is like a fucking drug addiction. I definitely don't judge the fact that there's life coaches and wellness, the thing that I know is everyone's got something that they're not really sharing and the level of anxiety it's going to because you is the level of perfection you're putting forward and then needing to feel like you're hiding something in the background, versus just being like, I got this little area, not on a pedestal, I'm just going to share about these kinds of things, know I've got skeletons and shit going on in the background as well. What did you see? All those people in the wellness industry, for them to come in the background and share with you, did they feel like they were keeping it a secret, or did you burst their bubble and actually let them know, maybe this is something that's not so good to be depending on? I'm curious as to what the theme of of how these people were feeling about that, living with-   Vanessa: (20:25) I'd say 95% of people in the industry that wrote to me that they were on it were ashamed of it. Just the same shame that I felt, the same inner knowing that this is not right, this doesn't follow what I preach. I think if you're not really aware, which it's hard because it's a drug that completely takes you out of body, you're not in body. So when you're on the drug, you're not really aware of how it's affecting your life, and it wasn't until I started each day, I would learn something new that it was affecting like, wow, I really was annoying to be around in relationships, or wow, I was really aloof and not really engaging at certain events or parties, or I was very snippy and irritable, things like that. Or I was so self-conscious, I was confidently insecure. So, it gives you this, huh, I'm superwoman, and then you're a shell almost because there's no real foundation of confidence in there, because it makes you overthink and over analyse everything.   Vanessa: (21:41) So I think once I also started posting that, people were like, "Oh my God, me too. That exact same thing happened to me." But they were all my own revelations, and I was actually realising as I was coming off of it, all I knew was that at the time ... I've done so much work on myself, but waking up at 30 years old with ... I think it was 30, 31, and I woke up and I was like, my another relationship just ended, my career is whatever, nothing to write home about. I was staying at my mom's, and I'm just like, I don't understand. I've been in therapy, I've done Ayahuasca, I've done all the things, all the healing modalities, everything you can imagine, why hasn't anything changed? And then when I was going to take the drug, that's when I looked at it and I'm like, well, this is the one thing that I haven't changed, that I haven't broken up with.   Vanessa: (22:35) And if everything is energy, like in my practise, we believe that everything has a frequency and has an energy, well, if I'm putting this speed frequency in my body, what is that doing? How is that affecting the outcome of my life? How is that affecting my ability to manifest and be present in this world?   Mason: (22:59) I mean, I do like social platforms when there's a ... because that's ultimately when you stop seeking, which is what you just said, and I've been such a chronic seeker, and then going like, well, come on, what the hell? I've done several plant medicine [inaudible 00:23:21], blah, blah, blah, I'm doing this, I'm doing this, I'm going to do this, maybe I'm doing this kind of meditation, I'm doing this big yang style of breath that everyone's into, and why isn't anything working. And if you're not just feeling like you have that self agency and that authenticity, there's always something that can be something festering. There often is in people that's on that platform or in the wellness scene, or in the entrepreneurial scene, or in the fitness or whatever it is. I mean, it's such an a non-sexy thing to capture and talk about. I think you're such a good example, you are able to hit it with something relatable and go through the process.   Mason: (24:09) And what I feel like you're able to talk about is that skill to get to the point where you go, look, we just got to call a spade, a spade and acknowledge it's that. Despite all your stories, this is the thing that you're going to have to face. And it's probably not about that thing, there's probably a lot of stuff underneath it that you're going to realise that you are subconsciously compensating for, and you're going to have to go through a real long process, and it's going to be shitty, and it's going to be hard, and then it's never ever going to stop because you can't be healed of yourself. I really value it a lot. And then, did you have relapses, or how'd you go?   Vanessa: (24:50) Well, I had to get rid of all my supply, so that I wasn't actually tempted. I'm not a fan of people coming to me wanting to detox off Adderall and alike, and still having a prescription in the house. It doesn't work like that. I know this because there have been such desperate times where I've wanted to go back so bad, but it's an addiction. And I explain to people, I use the word detox because it's buzzy and trendy, but it's not, it's a drug withdrawal. And a withdrawal is not linear, it's a roller coaster ride. You could be totally cool for the first three weeks, maybe a month, two months, and then all of a sudden, you feel terrible and you're really craving it again. But that's life, we can't wake up, we're not machines, we don't wake up and we feel amazing and perfect and all the things every single day. So, that's where the inner work comes in, and I've had to struggle with that a lot.   Vanessa: (25:45) I used to use it just even to go out and socialise if I was too tired at the end of the day. And learning to live life without this drug, not to say that I still don't have cravings for it, I still have cravings to this day for it. I like uppers, I like caffeine, so I've been trying not to drink caffeine as often. I like that feeling of being awake and excited. It's an initial rush, it doesn't last. And then not only that, with that initial rush, comes a lot of anxiety, a lot of other things that piggyback on it. So, I still have those cravings, but just to recognise them and also to look at well, what have I been doing? Have I been sleeping? Am I doing things that are bringing joy to me? Are there certain things that maybe I can delegate to other people, because this is not my personal strength, things like that. Have I eaten well this week? Am I eating poorly, and perhaps my guts just bogged down? Am I eliminating? Things like that. I just have to check myself every time I start to think I have an Adderall deficiency.   Mason: (26:53) Yeah. Do people from Australia write to you? For us, Dexedrine, which you said you have, and Ritalin, you guys have, I mean, there must be others. I know the friends who are like my druggie friends in high school that were also somehow ... in fact, they were failing chemistry in school, but then all of a sudden, became master chemists when they start talking to me about drugs. And so they'd be like, yeah, dextroamphetamine, [inaudible 00:27:26] Ritalin, methylphenidate, they're just racking out all these names. We had a lot of Ritalin in high school going around, but it wasn't that easy to access, and just those kids that would prescribe to, we'd make a bit of cash on the side. But I wonder how easy it is to get access at the moment, I think [inaudible 00:27:46] are a much easier to get access to, and they're the ones I still hear.   Mason: (27:52) I think even at one point, there was something similar with legal in New Zealand to get over the shelf, and we'd have things, like we've got the stores called Happy High Hubs, and they ... I'm not saying they had it, but equivalent store would have little things that, but maybe weren't quite as chemical, maybe more plant-based. But I remember friends going over and getting those there, but a lot of friends in the bartending world took Dexis, a light little rush during a shift. I wonder, do many people from Australia write to you, or do you feel like this is something more North America based, that there's an addiction.   Vanessa: (28:29) They do, but not the number of North Americans. I have a fair amount of Australian followers, but I don't see them writing as much, or they'll write me saying that their friend or their family member, so who knows if it's actually them or if it is a friend or family member that they're struggling with who needs help or that type of thing?   Mason: (28:52) Yeah. I think we're way more stubborn about our addictions as well as a nation. I don't know what I'm basing that on, but I think maybe there's just some kind of ... I don't know. I do find that it's amazing. I've watched Americans just a lot of heart on their sleeve.   Vanessa: (29:10) Oh, yeah.   Mason: (29:11) ... me too, and we're a bit more maybe stubborn and proud, and we'll be like, no, nothing wrong with me. Thank you very much.   Vanessa: (29:19) Yeah. I think that there is a little bit more pride in other countries than in America. Everybody here is just now trying to just be all vulnerable and have something in common with another person. And plus medication in the US is just, I think, unparalleled than other countries.   Mason: (29:38) Yeah. More normalised for sure. But I mean, just talking about addiction alone, I'm definitely not going to equate getting off other addictions with what you went through, but nonetheless, I think obviously, there's going to be some certain parallels just worth being aware of, maybe not speaking to. But I think awareness around addiction, especially when you're in a place where you consider yourself someone who's really healthy, then to acknowledge that perhaps there's something that you're addicted to that either needs just managing and probably managing for a long time, if not the rest of your life, or you're going to have to cut yourself off, which is way more appropriate with something like an amphetamine. The process now, I'm just going to highlight that, even for my own relating too, because I got my little things that I really need to manage. When I get tired and stressed, I'll go back to them, and I'll just get really upset at myself at times and blah, blah, blah.   Mason: (30:40) When it came to addiction and getting off, how did you consciously manage the ... supporting your brain, your nervous system. You talked about the Chiro that you were going to, I think that's really great advice to everyone coming off any type of addiction, could really ensure that they've got their body and skeletal structure in the right place. The dopamine, supporting that neurotransmitter. Would you mind jumping into how you say, whether you can talk clinically of what general things that you use to support? And by all means, if it's all personalised, let us know about that as well-   Vanessa: (31:16) No. Yeah. To me, first and foremost, being structurally aligned was really important. This was the last pharmaceutical drug I was detoxing off of because I'd been on when I was 20, I think at 21 is when I stopped antidepressants, when I was 25 was when I stopped things Xanax and Ambien. I mean, I was on every drug. [inaudible 00:31:41], uppers, downers, in-betweeners, just medicated to the gills. What I found was that SOT chiropractic saved my life, and it's the sacral occipital technique. So, your sacrum is the base of your spine and your jaw and your [inaudible 00:31:57] are the top of your spine. So if either one's out of alignment, even slightly so, which can even happen during childbirth, because it's a traumatic experience, and I see it a lot with C-sections as well or forceps on the head, things like that.   Vanessa: (32:11) This is your entire spine, so it twists on your nervous system, it twists on your digestive system, and then all of a sudden, not enough what we call cerebral spinal fluid is going to the brain. So not all parts of the brain are lighting up. They're not getting enough flow, enough fluid. Because of that, I realised that I actually didn't need anti-depressants and all of that, as long as I was able to stay structurally aligned. Once I started getting adjusted, I started feeling really good, and thus began my journey off of pharmaceuticals. I moved back to LA, and anywhere I lived, I always had an SOT practitioner. I lived in New York for 10 years, I had one there, I lived in Austin, I had to find someone in San Antonio and drive there. And then when I came back to LA, I had my guy who originally took me off of the first drugs, so I just basically was going to him weekly every other week, just to make sure that I was holding my adjustment.   Vanessa: (33:07) Then what I would do is I knew that for dopamine, and also as a woman, a lot of us take it to stay in shape and keep our figures small and whatnot. So, I called friends to not meet me at a workout, they had to pick me up to go to the workout, and they agreed to do that, to hold me accountable to start exercising. I knew I had to exercise, and high intensity cardio just to get outside of myself, get that dopamine rushing, so I did that. I made sure that I went to bed no later than 10:30, and that I slept at least eight or nine hours. If I slept less than that, it was a disaster. I started with that as well. And then as far as things that I did for my brain, so anxiety, anxiety is one thing that you can actually experience coming off of Adderall as well, just because your brain still needs a minute to build the dopamine and reconnect those neurotransmitters that have been basically relying on this amphetamine drug.   Vanessa: (34:11) What I did was I took this thing called Min-Chex, it's by a company, Standard Process, but essentially, it's just a lot of beef liver, and I find that that helps really calm anxiety in the brain, man, or woman. I started taking that and it helps tremendously with any anxious feelings that I was having. I started taking a lot of Lion's Mane Rhodiola as well, which was helpful. I was messing around with mucuna, mucuna, how do you say it?   Mason: (34:42) [inaudible 00:34:42]   Vanessa: (34:42) Mucuna, I was playing around with Mucuna. And then when I met you at Mind, Body, Brain Festival or conference, you gave me the neural nectar. You gave me the neural nectar, which is actually better, and to this day, better than any other nootropic, mushroom concoction. By far to this day, is the best thing. It has helped me so much, and I thank you for that. [crosstalk 00:35:10]. Yeah. No, it's better than anything else that I played around with. I had some bad reactions to a few products that I tried. I took things like pantothenic acid for my adrenals, and was just doing things to support the different parts of my body that I knew were being taken down by this drug, probiotics, things like that. I had a whole lineup, but really, it was Lion's Mane, Rhodiola, beef liver, vitamin D, Mucuna, cordyceps is really helpful for getting energy as well.   Mason: (35:50) Yeah, that's great. You're highlighting a really good way to relate to the tonic herbs as well, the cordyceps and the Rhodiola and Mucuna.   Vanessa: (36:00) Oh, ashwagandha was another one that I used a lot. What I learned about ashwagandha, because at first, when I was playing around with that, oh, this is for nighttime, but no, you can take it in the morning and you actually have a great focus, but not an anxious focus. It's a nice, smooth focus.   Mason: (36:20) It's a really weird herb. It's an absolute powerful to yang tonic, but it's a nervine at the same time. It's like, what? I can't take it at night. I can take it at night, but I don't know, it almost makes me, I don't know, too groggy, and whereas I take it in the morning, I need to get up and go, but generally, my mind is just too crazy, and my nervous system's too crazy. That's why I can take those relaxing herbs in the morning as long as I combine it with something that brings a little bit of yang energy. So, I'm with you on that one, a lot of ashwagandha in the morning.   Vanessa: (36:56) And Bacopa? I played around with Bacopa. That was fun. That did really well for me as well.   Mason: (37:02) That's [inaudible 00:37:02] brain thing. You're just like in that convalescence stage, in the healing stage and the rebuilding. Clinically, that's when tonic herbs stop you from getting sick in the rebuild. That's the two sides of that story. I mean, it makes sense that they would be so effective in there. And the exercise, forcing yourself to go and do exercise, I think it's like ... that's what I need as well.   Vanessa: (37:30) Basically, I had an exercise babysitter. I mean, I had to, because I thought I was convinced that I could not exercise, go to the gym, go to workout class without Adderall. There's just no way. That's what I used to get up and go, how am I going to get up and go then? I realised that I actually didn't need it. It actually is much easier for me cardiovascularly to get through the class because your heart's not beating faster than it should at the moment.   Mason: (38:01) Yeah. The belief that you couldn't go and do exercise without Adderall. How did you feel? Would you have that feeling of like, it'd just be lethargy, and that I'm literally not going to have the energy to get through this? And would you be doing the making excuses? Like I seriously don't think it's healthy for me to be doing this today, as you got picked up by your babysitter and going there? Was it that extreme? That's what I think-   Vanessa: (38:25) No, not at all. Because I find that that's a story, and I tell this to my clients too, it's a story, because I would sit there and go like, actually, am I really that tired? I'm not. At first, you are because you have the hangover effect of the Adderall. As soon as the Adderall starts to really start to leave your system, I'd say within a few days, that next day hangover ... because no matter who's out there listening to this, taking one of these drugs, you wake up the next day, and the reason why you crave it is because you have a hangover effect from the day before, and you need caffeine, you need something. So, I was replacing it with the bulletproof coffee recipe for caffeine, and sometimes just some [inaudible 00:39:07] tea. But without that hangover effect, I would sit there and go like, am I actually tired, or is this just a story I'm telling myself that it's impossible to move my body?   Vanessa: (39:19) What I found is that the stories that we tell ourselves are so profound that they actually dictate what physically happens in our bodies. If we're sitting there, and every single day, if you were to wake up and go, I'm going to get cancer, I'm going to get cancer, I'm going to get cancer, and you're so convinced of it every single day, most likely you will develop cancer, because you're telling yourself that that's what's going to happen. And so, when I told myself, I got this euphoric feeling all of a sudden, like wow, how powerful am I that I can do this without this? Which is most people don't have a problem doing it without the drug. But at first, it was just very exciting. It was very exciting, it was all very new, and I felt like I was a newborn learning things again, but also feeling things for the first time that I hadn't felt in a long time.   Mason: (40:14) I mean, that immediately brings up the ... if you say in comparison land, other people can do this every day without this thing, if you stay in that comparison, that's obviously going to be a stunting effect, I think that's [crosstalk 00:40:27] reminder. I'm curious, so you went into a convalescent stage into a healing stage, you're moving off by being addicted into a healing and to getting control of the addiction. How did you gauge when it was time to take the bubble wrap off yourself, take the padding, like you no longer in necessarily a healing, was it easy for you to change relating to this healthy lifestyle that you were like, I'm gone from healing, because I was doing something that was maybe a bit negative, to now I'm just actually just enjoying my own lifestyle? Was there any turbulence in moving from one to the other or was it a natural progression?   Vanessa: (41:15) Well, it took me 30 days. I like to enjoy the occasional glass of wine or cocktail every now and then, I like to go out and have fun. I was very scared to do any of those things, I definitely put myself in ... I had kid gloves and put myself in a bubble. I wouldn't eat past a certain hour. It was hard for me to go out to eat. I had to be in control of all of my meals, just so that I wouldn't get some drowsy hangover effect from something. So, it took me about, I want to say 23 days, was the time when I went out to a restaurant opening, I remember with a couple of guy friends of mine, and I had a couple of tequilas. I went into it just knowing that life's going to happen, and I want to be able to live my life, and if I feel tired the next day, this is why. I just had to be very conscious, I had to go into it with intention rather than being reckless.   Vanessa: (42:13) And so, I woke up the next day and sure enough, I had the craving because I hadn't had alcohol in a long time and your brain swells, so you're laying there and you're just like, but I just gave myself, I made it so that the next day I had no commitments the next morning, I just allowed myself to be. That was one thing, I started going out to restaurants slowly realising that that wasn't scary either, but I knew that I needed that state of just being cuddled for a little bit before I was able to do these things, because I had to understand all the negative effects that this drug had on me and all of the positive things that were coming of my life from being off the drug, because I also think that it energetically blocks you. So as soon as I was coming off, that all these opportunities are coming towards me, people were coming towards me, I just felt very magnetic.   Mason: (43:08) I mean, I reckon that's cool. I think as you know, you see a lot of people, whether it's coming off substances or coming off a Western diet for ... you find veganism, you find keto, you find CrossFit, you find soul cycle, whatever it is, and you find something, or just a healing lifestyle that's really coddled, and you associate that with the healing. And as you alluded to, sometimes there's a fear for going outside of it because you're like, oh my God, this is wonderful. I mean, that's a very quick process that you went through, but it sounds like you did it well. I like those principles of being realistic and going in with intention and being really smart about it to step away because I mean, as you've seen a lot of people, then get addicted and too scared to step outside the modality-   Vanessa: (43:58) Yeah, you cause addict for sure. I think it's a fear mentality, but I also know that fear really also holds us back. So fear would keep me in the mindset of wanting to take Adderall. It's the fear that I really had to work on, the fear around being out of control, but we are not. None of us are completely in control. If we've learned anything this last year is that we are not in control. There are many things that are outside of our control. And so, I just needed to realise that not to be afraid of that loss of control of every single thing being perfect in order for me to be able to function. That's not sustainable, that's not reality. I had to be able to work with the world and be able to dispel that fear so that it's not holding me back from whatever it is.   Mason: (44:58) Well, I know a diet was a huge part for you, and you have a large focus, from what I can see, from when I've been following along in your adventures on diet. Tell me more about how you navigate that space, some of the principles that have worked for you, have, have you find a lot of your principles are just rock solid and you have your standards, do you find some of them are temporary? Have some of them become malleable? I'm curious to hear where you're at with diet because I do appreciate the level of sharing that you go to around your diet. I skirt around the conversation myself.   Vanessa: (45:42) Well, I've learned a lot. I know what works for my body, and I've seen what works for a lot of people that have any addiction to Adderall or they're having depression or anxiety or some sort of cognitive function issue or adrenal depletion. But I myself learned that it's okay to change your mind. I used to be hardcore, intermittent fasting, I think I intermittent fast every single day for almost two years, and completely lost my period, and no longer was able to build muscle tones. I tanked my testosterone which was pulling from my adrenals. I didn't even have fatigue. I was just puffy and no period, and it was bizarre. I learned that intermittent fasting is not the set structure for everybody, and that's the only way to live. But that's what I used to do, I used to wake up with that bulletproof coffee with the D and the NCT and the whole night, and just live on that until lunch.   Vanessa: (46:44) But my diet now, which pretty much has been the same since I got off, but for the most part, I'd say I was really strict for a long time, which was, I wouldn't touch a grain, so rice, quinoa, gluten, wheat, whatever it is, no grains whatsoever. And then, I would eat low brassica vegetables. I don't eat kale, broccoli and Brussels sprouts for the most part, so I would eat a lot of arugula and butter lettuce for my actual salads. I would eat things like, I don't know, asparagus, zucchini, certain things like that. Not a lot of cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli, Brussels sprouts, kale, definitely no kale. The reason being is that I also had, have, had, who knows, my blood tests says that it's not there anymore, but TCOs, which gave me Hashimoto's.   Vanessa: (47:40) When I was doing my research around Hashimoto's I realised how crazy kale was on the thyroid. So I just stopped eating it and I started feeling better, but it also affected my energy. I was feeling better and I was also less bloated and gassy. I'd eat one of those vegetables and I could fly myself to New York on the amount of gas that I would produce. [crosstalk 00:48:02]. I realised that's just not for me. That's what I really do. Basically, I like to eat as if I were stuck on a farm or in the wild and all I could do would be hunt, gather, fish, grow, pick, that type of thing. If I could do one of those things, then I could eat it. So I wouldn't snack a lot, not a lot of packaged foods, things like that, just things I grow up from the ground. If I want to starch, then it's potato, sweet potato, but for me, I tend to eat those things at night because they spike my insulin, and I usually get tired or they're just too weighty.   Vanessa: (48:42) If I have them for lunch, I usually have a really bad crash afterwards. So, I'll eat those things at night, sometimes I try to eat them cold because they're more starch resistant. But other than that, I think before this podcast where you said, you I met a new boy, and that also changed the way I ate a little bit. I realised in my relationship with him is that he eats everything. He's like a dude, not into health and wellness. I mean, he'll listen to me go off at because [inaudible 00:49:15] when I see him eating certain things that make my skin growl, but other than that, he has really healed me when it comes to freedom around food. He comes from a Persian culture and they have this amazing rice dish called tahdig, and it's basically fried rice at the bottom, so fried and crispy, this crispy flat layer. It's so tasty and good.   Vanessa: (49:42) What I've realised is with him, and through our culinary experiences and just, I don't know, I don't know if it's the feeling of being in a relationship where I feel safe and held and loved or what it was, but my rigidity around my diet, wasn't like, I can't eat that. All of a sudden, he's having some French fries, I'll have some of his French fries, and I would never have touched a French fry before. Like as if my body is going to explode if I touch that one French fry.   Mason: (50:16) Yeah. It's like when you've been full Catholicized, and you think if you step outside the discipline of religion that you're going to go to hell, and it's this [crosstalk 00:50:29] experience, and you eat the chip, and you're like, hang on a second.   Vanessa: (50:33) I'm still here, whoa. It was pretty eye opening. But yes, if I were to eat like that all the time, would I feel energetic and functional everyday? No, but am I able to have more freedom around food? 100%. Do I eat clean when I'm in the office? There's just no point in me having some cheap, fun, luxurious meal for lunch while I'm working, it's a waste. I usually just, Monday through Friday, I try to eat super clean, which is usually when I'm at the office, arugula butter lettuce with some maybe salmon and sardines or chicken or some grass fed beef or something that with olive oil and sea salt. My lunch is pretty boring during the week, but that also enables me to go out on the weekend and have fun and let loose a little bit because I am super clean for the most part.   Mason: (51:28) I think that's awesome. I didn't realise you were at that point as well. Not that I think that's better or worse to be there, but I think that's another thing that needs ... there's some sophistication and nuance and maturity when educating people around health, because quite often, people will go ... what you've just shared, I think is really beautiful going like, there's some culinary engagement and there's something extra been layered on top of these principles you have around health, whereas so often, it's seen as a failure, you're not living up to the standards that you set. And so, even though people might easily move in that direction, it's like, okay, well, I gave it my best shot to be really perfect, and I just failed a little bit in that, whereas it's just, you're just opening up and you're blossoming a little bit, you're bringing in more colour and tone to the way that you eat, and if you're malleable in your principles, stick strong with your convictions, but allow them to be malleable and alter and change, you can really create a beautiful culture around food, having those experiences.   Mason: (52:42) I'm the same. I went out purposely and ate the things I swore to myself I would never eat again.   Vanessa: (52:50) I love that.   Mason: (52:51) ... and just horrified of my indictment sometimes.   Vanessa: (52:56) What I remember is when we got back from the conference too, we went to dinner, it was so refreshing that you ordered a glass of wine. I'm like, oh great, I can order a glass of wine because a lot of people in the wellness industry will be so ... they're not in AA by any means, but they're just so, they poo on this, that and the other, and it just becomes very judgy, and how relaxed you were having a meal was refreshing to me, because when you are around people in this industry, sometimes it becomes so intense.   Mason: (53:32) Yeah. I definitely noticed myself sticking out a little bit at that second ... I don't know, Yeah. I think that was especially after the first one. And then that second one, I think I ended up having a dad's gone wild night. One of the [inaudible 00:53:53]. I think it was me and Dr. Dan, the gut MD, and my mate, Chris from Grizzly Bear. I was like, thank God for ... I really didn't give a shit about holding that identity the second time round, especially. And I was like, I'm not playing the game, I'm not playing the wellness game. And so, I've definitely felt the eyes watching and the little bit of that bit of judgement that comes about. I think fair enough that some people's path of wanting to create a glass house culture around their wellness principles, but I mean, there's so much lacking. I feel like that's the worst thing about LA, is you can insulate yourself within that health food store, and keto, intermittent fasting, I've nailed it, and you slowly change as the trends change.   Mason: (54:59) But you can convince yourself that, because there's restaurants that cater to your dietary ideology as well, so easy to never ever step out. And that's when you start getting ... basically you start getting ... I considered myself having that to an extent, not comparing myself to other extreme eating disorders, but it becomes an eating disorder.   Vanessa: (55:25) Yeah. Orthorexia is a real thing. It becomes where they won't go out to restaurants, like, what oil is this cooked in? You get so obsessed with just eating healthy and everything super clean that it really affects your everyday life.   Mason: (55:43) Yeah. It's so healthy to challenge that. Even if you challenge it and go cool, I loved opening up, and I don't really ... I've definitely done things I'm like, I don't need to go back there, but at least I'm not opposed, I'm not detested by it. No need to be an opposition, and just almost [inaudible 00:56:05], it was releasing my judgement of the way other people live and eat, get over my superiority complex, those kinds of things.   Vanessa: (56:15) Yeah. That was a road for me too. It's hard. And then it's hard because then I'll tell people now, and then taking them off Adderall and stuff, I'll be very strict with them, but that's because they're looking for a result and an outcome, and they're in the kid gloves stage. So I always try to tell people, this isn't forever, but this is for now. We got to be pretty strict. Because then that way, they can also see when they do have those moments, if they don't feel well, then they can at least, okay, well, I had a bit of fun and I was enjoying myself and okay, my guts a little sticky right now, so my brain's a little sticky, that type of thing, but I need them to be able to really see that and feel that.   Mason: (56:53) That's the awesome thing about LA, is that it's easy to be in that healing convalescent stage and you feel safe and you feel understood. And there's a real beauty there, if it doesn't tip over and become extremist, which for majority of people, I don't think it does. It's just there's a click of it there and there's almost then get competitive of how obsessed can I get in my eating disorder. And some people, that's their path from there and they really enjoy that. I'm not putting that on everyone who goes down that route, but there's something really magical about LA in that as well. It's why I do like going there. I find that really inspiring. Before we jump off, tell me about your clinic. I just want to know how it's going, first of all, and then give me an insight into what you're working with, what kind of people you're working with, and whether you've got any space, because I know you're popular. Is it only in person or do you do it over video?   Vanessa: (57:54) Yeah. It's funny, we've been open for a little over, I want to say three years now, and last year, was our biggest year yet. I think perhaps it's just because people realise how important health is, and they just all really wanted to get healthy, so people really started investing in their health I've found. This year we became a homoeopathic pharmacy, so we carry a number of different lines that are only carried by practitioners, anywhere from homeopathics to whole food supplement, to adaptogens, things like that. We're open four days a week, we see about 65 people a week, and we do both FaceTime and in-person, and we do something called nutrition response testing. Nutrition response testing is a form of applied kinesiology or essentially muscle testing, but what separates us from muscle testing is that we're really focused on the system on the autonomic nervous system, so we do certain checks on the nervous system first in order to align it in order to get the most accurate read possible.   Vanessa: (59:01) Once we've run all the testing on the nervous system, we've done some heart rate variability testing, then we move on to the different organs. And just as acupuncture runs on radian points, all we're doing is running on organ points and using frequency vials to figure out what's irritating the body. We're only word of mouth, and some people come to us from Instagram, but we don't market ourselves, so we really just want people to have results. We're very result driven, and then therefore, they can tell their friends or family to come in. We use whole food supplements and homoeopathic remedies to help the body come back into balance, rather than pharmaceuticals and other things that can cause more side effects. We're just focused on that right now.   Mason: (59:46) How long are you generally working with clients?   Vanessa: (59:50) The initial session's about 45 minutes, and that's when we go through the health history and everything and then run our initial testing, and then the follow-ups are only 20 minutes.   Mason: (59:58) And are you going anywhere, are people just coming to you for maintenance and long-term clients, as well as people just going through acute issues, and what kind of issues do you notice people coming to you with?   Vanessa: (01:00:09) No one comes to me in the beginning, unless they're coming to me for something chronic. So yeah, I've got clients that have been with me for years, but maybe they'll come in for a monthly checkup or every two months, or all the female client who might have a bladder infection and then she'll have to come in, she doesn't want to take medication, so we'll help her with her bladder infection or yeast infection, things like that, or they'll get the flu, and they'll come in. But what we do is people come to us for chronic issues. So, it's usually they have a thyroid problem or PCOS or a hormonal problem that has yet to be diagnosed, they're missing a period, that's for the women. Men will come to me for high blood pressure, high cholesterol, problems with libido, wanting to get off Adderall, cognitive function issues. We have a lot of IBS and gastro problems anything, having to do with the gut, colitis, Crohn's, you name it.   Vanessa: (01:01:06) We also have quite a lot of heartburn, acid reflux, chronic people, lot of eczema, acne and depression, anxiety, as well, what we consider a chronic issue. So, we'll help people with anxiety and depression as well.   Mason: (01:01:22) Oh, shebang, and must keep you busy.   Vanessa: (01:01:25) Yes. It keeps us very busy. I love what I do. It's great, it's been really effective, and the only reason why I am so passionate about what I do and stand behind what I do is because I was a patient of it myself for six years. So, I was actually in different corporate jobs in New York, and this just continued to keep changing my life. I believe in many modalities, and I think different modalities speak to different people, and you actually have to be energetically aligned and really believe in your practitioner and what you're getting yourself into in order for you to have a true healing experience, because we're just guides. We're not actually healing you, you're healing yourself, but we're guiding you there. And so, I myself, when I found this, I was like, wow, I've never felt this great in my life, and all my auto-immune issues are starting to reverse, and everything is just feeling better that I became obsessed with learning this technique.   Vanessa: (01:02:23) At the time, I really had to fight to go into school because you had to be a licenced doctor. And so, I was working for this woman in Queens, in New York, and she got me into the school and then I apprenticed for her while I was going to school. So, it's just something that I'm really passionate about, and I don't believe anybody should go into, I think, any healing modality unless it's really done wonders for yourself, because in order to really stand firm in that ... because you have clients that come in one week or another, and they really don't feel well, but they're on your protocol. And unless you confidently stand behind what you do and you've had that experience of maybe some Herxheimer reaction or you've backed slide a little bit, unless you can stand with them and empathise with them, it's very hard to get around that blockage.   Mason: (01:03:16) Yeah. And that's what you see in most healing modalities or medicine is a lack of empathy.   Vanessa: (01:03:23) Yeah.   Mason: (01:03:24) Awesome. I'm really interested to hear more about this. I know you've probably had a full day. What day is it here? I'm doing the math, Tuesday? Yeah, it's Tuesday here.   Vanessa: (01:03:34) It's Monday. Yeah, we pick up again in about a half hour, and then we'll go till 6:30 PM tonight. 10 minutes.   Mason: (01:03:43) Okay. All right. I'll definitely let you go. Thank you for lending me, V. Thanks, V. The best way for people to get in touch with you, is that through veeshoney on Instagram?   Vanessa: (01:03:56) Yeah, veeshoney on Instagram, and then email is info@veeshoney.com if people want an appointment. If you're looking for employment, definitely don't DM, email.   Mason: (01:04:10) Good call. Beautiful. Good to see your face, thanks so much for that.   Vanessa: (01:04:11) You too. I hope to see you in person at some point. I'm dying to come to Australia and be one of those tourists in Byron Bay, bother in Byron Bay.   Mason: (01:04:23) No worry. We're going to take you outside of Byron Bay, and you won't be a bother. We've got the hook-   Vanessa: (01:04:25) I would love that.   Mason: (01:04:26) [crosstalk 01:04:26] with the insiders.   Vanessa: (01:04:29) I love that.   Mason: (01:04:30) All right. Beautiful. I'll see you soon then.   Vanessa: (01:04:33) Yes.

RE:ENERGIZE PHYSICALLY - How on-the-go, busy folks like you can prioritize your health. An energetic body and an elevated mind often top our list of health goals and equip us to live on-the-go. Keep your energy going with these tips: Try cleansing, fasting, and  juicing.WHY SUPPLEMEMENT? Vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements can help supply missing nutrients from our diet. Many don't eat sufficient quantities of fresh fruit and vegetables to get the essential daily nutrients. And even if you do eat an abundance of these foods, you may still not be getting all the nutrients you need. Modern intensive agricultural methods have reduced the number of nutrients from the soil resulting in fewer vitamins for our bodies. Best amino acids for energy are: Citrulline, Tyrosine and Leucine- Amino acids that stimulate energy production. Minerals such as calcium, magnesium and zinc  - of course you want your vitamin C and D ( a good, overall mulitvitamin can contain a lot of these aforementioned nutrients). Vitamin B12, Coenzyme Q10, Creatine, L-theanine With Caffeine, Beetroot Powder, Omega-3's, Fish Oil,  Spirulina (Bluegreen algae), Lime juice/citrus, and Moringa Oleifera, and  Iron.

All About Herbs with Amanda Furbee We deal with all sorts of ailments in life, may it be mental or physical. From anxiety to menstrual pain, there are a multitude of health problems we can experience throughout our life. Taking medicine every time is a bother, but what if you can use all-natural remedies? In this episode, Amanda Furbee joins us to discuss all things herbal. She talks about herbalism and her journey to become an herbalist. Further, she helps us identify which herbs are useful for certain ailments. Amanda also shares some tips on how we can improve ourselves. If you want to learn about an alternative to treating your ailments, then tune in to this episode! Here are three reasons why you should listen to the full episode: Gain insight from Amanda's story on why she shifted from a career in design to becoming an herbalist. Learn about herbs and what herbalism means. Discover the best herbal remedies for anxiety, PMS, and more. Resources The Science & Art of Herbalism course by Rosemary Gladstar List of herbal books from Rosemary Gladstar Life Guidance Hypnosis with Mary Lou Rodriguez The Herb Shoppe The Herb Shoppe: Instagram | Facebook Episode Highlights Amanda's Journey Amanda's journey with herbs started 10 years ago when she stumbled upon a little herb shop in Ruidoso, New Mexico.  She was feeling anxious, and they gave her passionflower. It worked well for her and changed her life. She had a vision that she needed to open a wellness property and know more about herbs. This started her deep dive into herbal medicine. Her family thought she was crazy to ditch her designing career. Amanda reached out to the herb shop owner to ask questions and soon found herself working there. How to Become an Herbalist The Herb Shoppe has a 12-week internship program, where you learn to understand the body and how herbs help with it. The majority of her beginning education was working in the shop and talking to the other employees. She also took an herbal certification course, attended conferences with teachers from the herbal field, and started volunteering to help organize them. The Herbal Experience According to Amanda, it's a lifestyle. She fell in love with making the products since she enjoys crafting things. Every person that comes through the shop door has something going on, and she learns from each of their experiences. Oftentimes, the food we eat is the biggest culprit for most of the ailments we have. They look at that organ connected to your pain and figure out the right herb to relieve or nourish it. Western Medicine vs. Herbalism There's a time and place for both. We can manage our day-to-day lifestyle through good nutrition and herbs, but there will be times when you need to go to the hospital instead. Herbal Remedies for Ailments To treat anxiety and the nervous system in general, you can choose from nervine herbs like passionflower, lemon balm, and chamomile. You can also choose what form to consume herbs in. There are tincture and capsule forms, along with tea blends. Gotu kola, ginkgo biloba, Bacopa monniera, and rosemary are some of the common herbs you can take to help you stay focused. For those struggling with PMS, uterine herbs like raspberry, blackberry, vitex, dong quai, and motherwort can help. Herb recommendations for postpartum healing are calendula, St John's, rose, lavender, and holy basil. What Is an Adaptogen? An adaptogen is an herb that works on the adrenal system. It helps bring balance to the body. In Amanda's personal experience, it has helped her get through the hardest times of her life. She still takes it regularly. Getting into Herbalism Amanda advises starting with one herb so you don't feel overwhelmed. It's not something you learn overnight; it's a life journey. Even though she's been doing it for 10 years, she still feels like she's constantly learning, adapting, and evolving. At her shop, they encourage doing a 30-minute meditation, where you pick a plant, sit with it, maybe drink it as a tea, try it as a tincture, look at it as an essential oil, or go for it as a flower essence. There's a lot of misinformation on the Internet. Amanda's rule of thumb is to see if three different sources say the same thing.  You can also get a mentor or connect with an herbalist, and find out what facet of herbalism calls you. Amanda's Daily Non-Negotiables and Advice Be gentle with yourself. Constant communication is important in any relationship. Set aside a time for yourself everyday. Take care of yourself. Don't forget to breathe. 5 Powerful Quotes from this Episode “I think everybody should dive into whatever it is they want to do. That's what makes it fun—part of it is your passion in what you're doing.” “We come from a culture where the medicine that we have been educated on is a band-aid. But for herbalism, the biggest difference is that we're going to do, ‘All right, why do you have that pain? What are you eating?'” “It is a lot to take on a business, but it is also reminding yourself to be gentle with yourself. If you need a couple of days off, then you take a couple of days off.” “With any relationship, if you don't have that constant communication and open door, then what are you doing?” “The bottom line is, we have to take care of ourselves… We have to do that or else everything is not going to fall into alignment.” About Amanda Amanda Furbee is the owner of The Herb Shoppe LLC, a health, wellness, and fitness company.

6 Herbs and supplements for stress reduction- Dr. Jason Jones Elizabeth City NC, Chiropractor Most of us struggle with stress from work, family responsibilities, and other life demands. The recent lockdowns caused an added level of stress, particularly due to anxiety and fear of the unknown. One survey conducted by the American Psychological Association found that stress about the economy and job security has increased over the past year. Stressful conditions cause a spike in cortisol production in the body, and this stress hormone can reduce immunity, increase inflammation, and raise the risk of blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke. However, the good news is that there are numerous measures to effectively relieve stress, including exercising regularly, getting plenty of sleep, engaging in mediation, and using herbs and supplements. The use of herbs and supplements have been shown to help lower anxiety levels, ease depression symptoms, and tame sleep troubles. Here are some herbs and supplements that are effective for stress reduction: Ashwagandha This herb is used in Ayurveda for its refreshing and energizing effects. Studies have shown that ashwaganda, from roots to seeds, offers numerous health benefits, including stress reduction. One study shows that the root extract of this plant is effective for increased resistance to stress.  Another 2017 study shows that patients taking ashwaghanda experienced a 44% reduction in stress levels compared to a 5.5% decrease in a placebo group. Vitamin B complex                  Fatgiue and low energy can contribute to stress, and that’s why the B vitamins, which are effective for boosting energy levels, usually have a positive effect. Many clinical studies have shown that taking Vitamin B supplements can help lower stress levels while keeping your energy high. So if you want to feel more relaxed and focused, you can try supplementing with a B complex. Valerian Root Valerian is a perennial root that has been used to help with anxiety, sleep disturbances, and nervousness since the second century. Supplementing with valerian root can help you reduce stress levels and get quality sleep. Rhodiola Rhodiola, also known as Golden Root, is used for improved mood, energy enhancement, and most critically, to reduce stress. Since exhaustion often adds to stress, taking something that reduces fatigue, will invariably help to reduce your stress level, and Rhodola is highly potent for this function. Magnesium Magnesium works for both nerves and muscle function.  Supplementing with this mineral helps to improve stress and anxiety. More so, a study by the National Institute of Health showed that magnesium supplements is effective for improving the quality of sleep. So if you struggle with sleeplessness caused by stress, magnesium is worth consideration to help you relieve stress and tension, promoting a good night rest. Bacopa Bacopa has been a part of Indian Ayurvedic medicine due to its ability to lower stress, improve mood, and sharpen focus. Bacopa was shown in modern research to help lower cortisol levels in blood, thereby relieving stress. You can take this herb whenever you’re stressed or find it hard to focus. There are many other herbs and supplements that works for stress-reduction. However, it is important to talk to your doctor about taking any herbs and supplements before use. You can consult Dr. Jason Jones at our Chiropractic office at Elizabeth City, NC to learn more about these natural remedies for reducing your stress levels.

Thyroid conditions are more common now than ever, with some experts believing this is mostly due to the high number of environmental toxins we are exposed to every day. There are many chemicals that are classified as endocrine disruptors (which means they interfere with hormones and can cause hormonal imbalances) that can be found in our air, water, and many cosmetic products. There are other things that can impact thyroid health like diet and lifestyle, and in this week's show we'll go over thyroid health and how you can support the thyroid, as well as discuss some possible early warning signs of a thyroid problem. Products Mentioned in Today's Show Thyroid Essentials Plus - Thyroid Essentials Plus is designed to be an all-in-one thyroid support product that may benefit many thyroid conditions. In just one product, it is now possible for the clinician to provide botanical and nutritional enhancement of thyroid hormone production, peripheral conversion of T4 to T3, as well as receptor function and recognition of thyroid hormones. Bacopa 320 - Bacopa monnieri, commonly known as Brahmi, is an adaptogenic, nootropic plant. CDRI 08 is the most extensively researched bacopaextract shown to support cognitive function, spatial working memory, new information retention, stress management, and mood.† Iodine Forte - Iodine is an essential element. Although its main function is in the production of thyroid hormones T3 and T4, other organs in the body have a need for iodine in order to function normally. You can also listen to Early Warning Signs of a Thyroid Problem on our YouTube channel here.

Brahmi, Gotu Kola, Ashwaganda a Mucuna Pruriens jsou 4 základní bylinky, které nám boostují mozky. Fungují na celou řadu systémů v těle včetně paměti, stresu, energie a výkonu. Vytvořili jsme guide, kde shrnujeme jejich účinky a jak je užíváme v naší každodenní zkušenosti. Tenhle podcast vznikl i jako video a navíc probereme biohacking a jeho 3 základní pilíře. Máme pro vás skvělou zprávu! Už pár let konzumujeme a testujeme nejrůznější bylinky a medicinální houby. No a nedávno jsme našli ty nejlepší tinktury z hub, které se pěstují ve finských lesích, známe se s majiteli a víme jak to vyrábějí, zaručená kvalita, kterou jsme dokázali dostat na náš nově vzniklý eshop, kde si je můžete pořídit: https://www.uplife.cz/ Přidejte se do naší skupiny na FB: Biohacking CZ/SK Čtěte naše články na https://codeoflife.cz/ Proč tenhle díl? Proč bychom biohacking a bylinky řešit a případně konzumovat? Jak jsme si k tomu došli my? Studujeme neurovědy a během studia a čtení různých studií se nám dostalo některých zajímavých informací, které se dají využít v každodenním prožívání. Řekli jsme si, že by bylo super, kdyby o těchto informacích vědělo více lidí, že to není složité a radikálně nám to může zlepšit zdraví a naše prožívání. Proto jsme stvořili podcast, proto teď čtete tenhle text. Základní pilíře Základní pilíře biohackingu si můžeme představit jako základy, které musíme vytvořit proto, abychom mohli postavit barák, hrad, nebo třeba palác. No a základy musíme mít dobře postavené, protože pokud tomu tak není, palác se ve vzduchu stavět nedá. Tohle je důležité, protože spoustu lidí chce hned začít všemi bylinkami a doplňky stravy, začátek je ale vždycky u nás a právě těch základních pilířů.

Gorilla Mind Smooth is the most potent and comprehensive stimulant-free Nootropic formula on the market. If you don't already know what Nootropics are, they are a category of compounds that can improve cognitive function. This can extend into many different specific benefits, but the main draw of Nootropics is their impact on productivity, concentration, creativity and information retention. Gorilla Mind Smooth is our stimulant-free version of Gorilla Mind that provides a smoother, much less extreme level of energy, but still maximizes mental clarity, memory, creativity and focus. Regardless if you're currently using stimulant-based products (coffee, energy drinks, pre-workouts, etc.), cycling off of stimulants, or just never use stimulants, Gorilla Mind Smooth is the most potent Nootropic formula you can add into your life to enhance cognitive function. https://youtu.be/Hcj8CinGG6s Reviews These are some of the reviews we've received from customers using Gorilla Mind Smooth: Gorilla Mind Smooth Supplement Facts Per Full Daily Dose: L-Tyrosine - 1000 mg Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom (Hericium Erinaceus) (standardized to 25% β-glucans) - 1000 mg DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) - 750 mg Alpha GPC 50% (L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine) - 600 mg Kanna (Sceletium Tortuosum) - 500 mg Bacopa Monnieri (standardized to 45% Bacosides) - 400 mg L-Theanine - 200 mg Bioperine® (Black Pepper Fruit Extract) (standardized to 95% Piperine) - 10 mg Huperzine A (Huperzia serrata leaf standardized extract) - 400 mcg The original Gorilla Mind Smooth formula had PEA, Hordenine and Teacrine in it. Originally, I was trying to chase a stimulant-free energy boost in Smooth, which is why I had those ingredients in it. However, over the past year I've started to really lean towards reformulating Smooth to create an entirely Nootropic comprised formula that is 100% geared towards maxing out cognitive function, rather than chase a relatively weak level of energy that we already destroy with Gorilla Mind Rush. Anyone buying Gorilla Mind that is using it for the laser focus and massive boost in energy and productivity is buying RUSH anyways, not SMOOTH. Instead of wasting precious capsule space with things that achieve a subpar level of energy, I decided that space would be far better utilized with other Nootropics. This is what led to me creating the current Gorilla Mind Smooth formula, which now has 1000 mg of Lion's Mane mushroom and 500 mg of Kanna in it. These compounds are far more conducive to enhancing the SMOOTH formula by supporting actual brain health, creativity, mental clarity and memory formation. If you want ridiculous amounts of energy and drive, get RUSH. For those who want a true stimulant-free Nootropic formula, SMOOTH is even better now and I highly recommend you give it a try. Gorilla Mind Smooth Vs. Other Nootropics On The Market This is the most maxed out stim-free Nootropic formula on the market. The full daily dose is 6 capsules. Even a half dose (3 capsules) is still far more potent than the majority of other Nootropic formulas out there at their max dosages. I formulated Gorilla Mind Smooth the exact same way I formulate any other product. I put in exactly what I would buy myself if I were shopping for each Nootropic separately. If you thought the pre-workout market was bad for underdosed products, your jaw will drop when you see some of the top selling Nootropic formulas. This industry is even worse because it is so niche and new. Preying on unsuspecting customers with garbage formulas sprinkled with vitamins and completely useless dosages of Nootropics is even more common in this industry. Because Nootropics are relatively new and uncharted waters for many, the prices get pretty aggressive on these watered down formulas as well that promise the world, and deliver nothing more than placebo. What's baffling to me is how many people eat up the marketing and blindly buy products priced at $60, $70, even $100 that probably cost $4-5 max to make. When the cost of bottles, lids, and labels costs more than the Nootropics in your formula, there's a f*cking problem. Fortunately, my audience is comprised of intelligent individuals who actually know how to spot value. It would be so easy to make a formula with a couple hundred milligrams of cheap choline that doesn't even cross the blood brain barrier, 100-200 mg of Bacopa Monnieri, throw a bit of caffeine in there for a kick, put some exotic sounding ayurvedic herbs in there, maybe sprinkle a couple low dosed Adaptogens in there, add a useless pinch of vitamins to make my label look more impressive and confusing, and then slap a label on it like every other company and then aggressively smash people with ads and market a high priced subscription model to the masses, or put it up on Amazon to compete with all the other loss leader cheap and ineffective Nootropics on there. The fact that the hypothetical piece of sh*t formula I just made up as an example of what not to do is actually still better than most of the Nootropic formulas on the market just goes to show how much some companies are deceiving their customers. If the majority of a company's budget goes into ads and sponsorships instead of product formulation, or they have a high ranking product on amazon, you can almost guarantee without even looking at the product that it sucks. Unlike what most companies will lead you to believe, there is no Nootropic formula that will lock you in like Bradley Cooper from Limitless (great movie by the way). https://youtu.be/4TLppsfzQH8 Just like our other products, it is me making the formula, and I put in what I would want to use as a customer. I used to spend time every day in University measuring out all my different Nootropics that were in my "stack", and toss and washing random powders. Obviously it makes things much easier to just have it in ready to go capsules that are actually dosed properly. With my products, everything is turnkey. How To Dose Gorilla Mind Smooth Take 3-6 capsules in the morning, or spread throughout the day. Start with 3 capsules to evaluate your tolerance. While Gorilla Mind Rush requires more of a tolerance assessment and slow dosage titration over time due to the heavy hitting stimulants, you will more than likely be fine jumping head first into Gorilla Mind Smooth and tapering up to the maximum recommended dose relatively quickly. Gorilla Mind Smooth Vs. Gorilla Mind Rush While the foundation of Nootropics in both Gorilla Mind products are mostly the same, there are some key differences between the two formulas. The main difference is that RUSH has a handful of potent stimulants that completely change how the product feels. RUSH is best stimulant-based Nootropic formula on the market for really waking you up and giving you tunnel vision focus and productivity. The strong backbone of Nootropics in RUSH are the portion that can actually enhance information recall, creativity, etc. But, the stimulants in RUSH are the driving force of the product, and can really be a game changer in productivity. SMOOTH on the other hand is stimulant-free and has the same Nootropics as RUSH, but also has 1000 mg of Lion's Mane mushroom and 500 mg of Kanna. Lion's Mane is amazing for supporting cognitive health, memory formation and mental clarity, while Kanna is a potent mood booster and can also support improved focus and energy levels. Gorilla Mind Smooth is significantly toned down in the energy department, so if you have too high of a sensitivity to stimulants or simply want a smoother level of focus, this would be more ideal for you. How To Combine Gorilla Mind Rush And Gorilla Mind Smooth If you don’t want to pick between either having the giant burst of energy and laser focus that RUSH provides, or the cognitive enhancing benefits of the Lion's Mane and Kanna in SMOOTH, you can combine the products. By taking 6 capsules of either, you will be getting a top end dose of Nootropics. Even with 3 capsules of either product you will still get an effective dose of Nootropics, and with RUSH, many won't even be able to exceed 3 capsules because the stimulant blend is extremely strong. If you are not a stim junkie who needs 6 capsules of RUSH I would recommend getting both so you can strategically tweak how much energy you want to get from the Rush to not over-stimulate yourself, but also reach the maxed out mental benefit you would get out of the Nootropics in each respective version of the product. Rotating Gorilla Mind Smooth and Gorilla Mind Rush Use Gorilla Mind Rush on days that require the most focus, productivity and energy. By rotating RUSH and SMOOTH, you can keep yourself sensitive to the stimulants in Gorilla Mind Rush, and reap the maximum benefit from each product during each use. Do You Need To Cycle Off Of Gorilla Mind Smooth? While SMOOTH will not cause tolerance build up like RUSH, I would still advise cycling off of everything for a week every month or so. Alternatively, allocate a couple days each week to days you do not take anything, including RUSH. Gorilla Mind Smooth Ingredients Breakdown L-Tyrosine - 1000 mg L-Tyrosine is an amazing cognitive enhancing amino acid that acts by balancing neurotransmitter levels in the brain. Its primary role is as the direct precursor to thyroxine and to the neurotransmitters dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. L-Tyrosine shines in its ability to improve mental sharpness, focus, energy levels, and cause mood elevation [R, R]. L-Tyrosine Vs N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine L-Tyrosine is the most bioavailable form of Tyrosine. In short, N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine is very inefficiently converted by the body to Tyrosine [R]. Even IV’ing N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine can’t elevate plasma Tyrosine levels to a significant degree, let alone via oral ingestion. Claims of increased water solubility and bioavailability are all marketing hype and were disproved easily by showing just how poorly N-Acetyl L-Tyrosine is at converting to Tyrosine in the body. The graph above depicts arterial concentrations of N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine (NAT) and Tyrosine (Tyr) during intravenous infusion of N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine. As you can see, Tyrosine levels barely even budge. This is the same kind of tactic used to try and market new and “improved” forms of creatine that at the end of the day do not yield any additional benefit, and just feature an inflated price tag. In our first batch of Gorilla Mind, we actually had N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine in the formulas based on these claims of improved water solubility and bioavailability by our manufacturer at the time. After delving into the data further, I realized the massive difference in bioavailability and swapped out the N-Acetyl-L-Tyrosine for straight L-Tyrosine, found a better manufacturing facility, and all batches of Gorilla Mind products since then have featured L-Tyrosine instead. Organic Lion's Mane Mushroom (Hericium Erinaceus) (standardized to 25% β-glucans) - 1000 mg Lion’s Mane is a Nootropic and cognitive-enhancing mushroom that has been used for thousands of years by Buddhist Monks who believed that it enhanced brain power and improved their focus. The main reason it is so promising as a Nootropic is the effect it has shown to have on the synthesis of nerve growth factor (NGF) and neurogenesis. By enhancing neurogenesis and potentially even attenuating the negative effects of cognitive decline, Lion’s Mane may significantly improve mental acuity, information retention, and decrease mental fatigue. Most products on the market contain 250 - 500 mg of Lion’s Mane. We have a full gram (1000 mg) in Gorilla Mind Smooth to ensure you are actually getting an efficacious dose of Lion’s Mane in when you use it. Effect On Cognitive Function A double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted on 50-80 year old adults with mild cognitive impairment to evaluate the efficacy of Lion's Mane as a cognitive aid. The Lion's Mane treated group showed significantly increased scores on the cognitive function scale compared with the placebo group [R]. Enhanced Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) Synthesis Results from animal studies support that Lion's Mane can enhance the synthesis of Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) [R, R]. NGF is required by neurons in order to survive and appears to play a major role in cognitive function. When NGF decreases in the brain, memory formation and information recall becomes greatly impaired. By maintaining optimal levels of NGF one may be able to support brain plasticity for improved information retention, memorization, as well as general cognitive health. Effect On Beta Amyloid Levels And Cognitive Decline In a rodent model, Lion's Mane was shown to attenuate the negative cognitive effects of beta amyloid in the brain (what is believed to be the main cause of Alzheimer's) [R]. It was also shown to ameliorate Alzheimer’s disease-related pathologies in several other rodent models of Alzheimer’s disease [R, R]. Mood Elevation And Stress Reduction Lion’s Mane also contains erinacine and other bioactive compounds that may increase dopamine production and improve state of well-being. One study showed that Lion's Mane supplementation reduced depression and anxiety after 4 weeks of use [R]. DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) - 750 mg DMAE's mechanism of action isn't fully understood, but it appears to work primarily by stimulating cholinergic receptors and has shown to improve cognitive function, energy levels, focus, and act as a neuroprotectant [R]. DMAE users consistently report improved memory, attention to detail, focus and mental clarity. DMAE Vs. Ritalin Study One double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted on 74 children with learning problems compared the efficacy of DMAE to Ritalin for treating ADHD [R]. The children were either given 40 mg of Ritalin, 500 mg of DMAE, or a placebo every day for 3 months. Behavior rating forms, reaction time, and an array of other psychometric tests were given before and after treatment. DMAE showed improvements in these metrics of approximately the same magnitude as Ritalin. No major side effects were noted with either treatment with exception of 6 of the children on Ritalin noting appetite suppression. Alpha GPC 50% (L-alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine) - 600 mg Alpha-glycerylphosphorylcholine (Alpha-GPC) is the highest quality and most bioavailable form of Choline. Taking massive dosages of straight Choline has shown to have no cognitive effect in humans [R]. Alpha-GPC on the other hand has shown to cross the blood brain barrier and provide the brain with a rapidly absorbed form of choline. This then supports the synthesis and release of acetylcholine. The surge of quickly absorbed choline in conjunction with the release of acetylcholine helps support an array of cognitive functions including but not limited to memory, HGH production, physical performance, concentration, focus, and information absorption/recall [R, R, R]. Alpha-GPC has also shown to significantly increase strength and may be an effective ergogenic aid [R]. How Much Choline Do You Need Per Day? The Adequate Intake (AI), as established by the Food and Nutrition Board of the National Institute of Medicine, for adults is 550 mg per day for men and 425 mg per day for women. We all know how brutally underestimated some of the AI's have proved to be in the past couple decades, and there is evidence suggesting that the AI for Choline is also far too low. One study showed that 2200 mg per day of Choline protected against the DNA damage that otherwise occurred in people consuming only 550 mg [R]. There are not enough studies on Choline, and it is a severely lacking area of research considering how important it is for brain health. I would shoot for at least 900-1200 mg of Choline per day. A big chunk of that can be achieved through regular liver and egg yolk consumption, but supplementation will help you hit that number with much greater ease. I eat 1 ounce of beef liver, 4 large eggs, and supplement with 600 mg of Alpha-GPC every day via Gorilla Mind. I also take extra precautions to support methylation, which I will delve into later in the methylation subsection. Alpha-GPC's Effect On Alzheimer's Dementia In a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial, patients with Alzheimer's dementia were treated with Alpha-GPC (400-mg capsules) or placebo capsules, 3 times daily, for 180 days [R]. In the Alpha-GPC group, assessed parameters consistently improved after 90 and 180 days versus baseline, whereas in the placebo group those same parameters remained unchanged or worsened. The results suggest that Alpha-GPC is a promising intervention for attenuating the cognitive decline that occurs from neurodegenerative disease. Alpha-GPC's Effect On Methylation And Health Status The MTHFR gene codes for an enzyme called methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase, or MTHFR. This enzyme is needed for the production of DNA and supporting methylation pathways that are essential for all bodily functions. Genetic variations in this gene results in reduced activity of the enzyme and has been associated with cardiovascular disease, neurological defects, some forms of cancer, and a myriad of other diseases and disorders [R, R]. Personally, I am homozygous for C677T of MTHFR, which results in a 80-90% decrease in my efficiency in processing folic acid. The direct reflection of that in blood biomarkers can be high homocysteine and low B12 and folate levels. I determined this via a simple 23andMe genetics test. Normally your body creates methyl groups by recycling Homocysteine to Methionine, as well as by converting Choline to Betaine. When nutrient intake needs are sufficiently met, the body depends on these two mechanisms equally. However, if you are deprived of methyl groups or have poor MTHFR activity because of a polymorphism, you can change that and start to create a disproportional ratio of dependency on the Choline to Betaine pathway. If you can't create enough Methylfolate, your body will ramp up the use of Betaine and Choline for methyl groups. By ramping up Choline to Betaine conversion to support methylation, your body can become depleted of the Choline it needs to create Acetylcholine. Downstream, the depletion of Choline can eventually lead to impaired cognitive function, DNA damage, and can be deleterious to overall health. The prevalence of MTHFR polymorphisms and micronutrient deficient diets is so common nowadays that almost everyone could benefit from Alpha-GPC supplementation to maintain higher levels of Choline. I take 600 mg of Alpha-GPC every day on top of the Betaine and Creatine I get from Gorilla Mode (or Gorilla Mode Nitric when I am not taking stimulants) to support methylation, improve my health, and optimize my performance. Alpha-GPC Vs. CDP Choline Alpha-GPC raises choline blood levels much more than CDP-Choline. While there is some speculation around the fringe benefits that may come with the Cytidine component of CDP-Choline, in general, the main reason we would use either Alpha-GPC or CDP-Choline is to supplement our diet and raise our Choline levels. Alpha-GPC accomplishes this better than CDP-Choline. Our Alpha-GPC is 50% Choline by weight, whereas CDP-Choline is only about 18% Choline by weight. That means that you would need to use almost three times as much CDP-Choline to get the same amount of Choline as Alpha-GPC. Are any of the companies out there with CDP-Choline in their formulas putting 1600-1700 mg of CDP-Choline per daily dose in their products? Not even close. Many companies still use Citicoline (CDP Choline) in their Nootropic formulas, despite the fact that Alpha-GPC has shown time and time again to be more effective both anecdotally, as well as clinically [R]. From what I've seen, the most reputable anti-aging "biohackers" in the industry also prefer Alpha-GPC over CDP-Choline. I have personally tried CDP-Choline and never really noticed any enhancing effect like I seemed to with Alpha GPC. - Rhonda Patrick (Ph.D in biomedical science/expert on nutritional health, brain & aging) Kanna (Sceletium tortuosum) - 500 mg Kanna supplementation has been found to effectively lower stress, elevate mood and increase focus. Personally, I notice a huge boost in my mood and I lock in a little bit more on whatever I am trying to concentrate on when I supplement with Kanna. Kanna was a huge success in our pre-workout formula because it also complements stimulants very well, which you have probably found out first hand if you have tried Gorilla Mode. Kanna works mainly via increasing the amount of serotonin available in the brain, and is typically utilized for its anti-anxiety and mood elevating effects [R]. This is an ingredient you will really feel, and can be especially useful for those days you need something effective that isn’t stimulant based. Anecdotally, a dose between 200-500 mg of Kanna has shown to be ideal for oral ingestion. Higher dosages between 1-2 grams have been associated with unwanted side effects like dizziness. Kanna has no addictive properties, and it is not hallucinogenic [R, R]. One thing to keep in mind with Kanna use is that it has a high affinity for the serotonin transporter. Therefore, it is plausible that Kanna can interfere with SSRI pharmaceuticals. Bacopa Monnieri (standardized to 45% Bacosides) - 400 mg Bacopa Monnieri is typically used as a memory enhancing Nootropic. There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that Bacopa Monnieri can protect neurons in the brain from accumulative damage, reduce β-amyloid levels in the brain, and improve cognitive performance by modulating neurotransmitters [R]. The efficacy of Bacopa Monnieri has been reinforced in six high-quality randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trials. The results suggest that Bacopa Monnieri not only has the potential to attenuate neurodegenerative disease progression, but it may also be a potent memory enhancing agent in otherwise healthy individuals. Improved Verbal Recall - Bacopa Monnieri Vs. Modafinil Study In a meta-analysis, long-term Bacopa Monnieri supplementation produced more consistent and noticeable positive effects than Modafinil [R]. Primarily, Bacopa Monnieri was shown to be very effective at improving verbal recall. This suggests that Bacopa Monnieri would be especially useful for memorizing long speeches, business presentations, songs, scripts, etc. Apparently Bacopa Monnieri was used by ancient Vedic scholars to memorize lengthy hymns and scriptures, which would reinforce the clinical findings. Improved Information Retention And Memory Consolidation A randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study conducted on 46 healthy adults assessed the efficacy of supplementing 300 mg per day of Bacopa Monnieri for 12 weeks [R]. 23 subjects received Bacopa Monnieri, and 23 subjects received placebo. A battery of well-validated neuropsychological tests were used to assess Bacopa's efficacy as a Nootropic. The Bacopa Monnieri treated group had significantly improved speed of visual information processing, learning rate, memory consolidation, and state anxiety compared to placebo, with maximal effects evident after 12 weeks. In another study conducted on 76 healthy adults aged 40-65, Bacopa Monnieri showed significant improvements in information retention [R]. Another study conducted on 81 elderly Australians found that a Bacopa Monnieri extract produced significant improvements in verbal learning, memory acquisition and delayed recall [R]. L-Theanine - 200 mg L-Theanine is most commonly used for its calming and relaxing effects. I find that it also promotes a high level of mental clarity as well. L-Theanine primarily works by targeting the neurotransmitters GABA, Serotonin, Dopamine, Epinephrine and Norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters are responsible for feelings of attention, stress, arousal, relaxation and pleasure. By mitigating the over-activity of excitable neurotransmitters and enhancing the calming neurotransmitters, L-Theanine seems to help calm down the brain, reduce stress, and curb anxiety. This is why L-Theanine complements stimulants like caffeine so tremendously too, as it takes the edge off of stimulants that can cause jitters and over-stimulation. Stacking Caffeine With L-Theanine To Help You Get To Sleep And Smooth Out The Jitters If you get jitters even with low doses of caffeine, the L-Theanine in Gorilla Mind Smooth will really help curb that. The caffeine + L-Theanine stack is one of the most basic and effective Nootropic stacks to date. This is one of the main reasons why Gorilla Mind Rush won't send you off the rails despite having a very potent combination of stimulants in it (it also has a big dose of L-Theanine in it). If you love your coffee, green tea, or energy drinks and don't want the aggressive stimulant blend in Gorilla Mind Rush, Gorilla Mind Smooth will stack with your caffeinated drink of choice exceptionally well. One notable rodent model even showed that L-Theanine can partially counteract caffeine-induced sleep disturbances [R]. Improved Memory And Attention In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted on 91 people with minor brain damage, a combination of L-Theanine and green tea extract improved memory, attention span, and alertness during a memory test [R]. Improved Verbal Fluency And Executive Function In another randomized controlled trial, 30 healthy adults were given 200 mg of L-Theanine per day, or placebo. Verbal fluency and executive function scores improved after L-Theanine administration [R]. Stress levels also went down, and sleep quality also increased after L-Theanine administration. Improved Reaction Time In another study conducted on 18 healthy University student volunteers, 200 mg of L-Theanine improved attention performance and reaction time response [R]. Neuroprotection In a study conducted on elderly volunteers with normal or minor cognitive dysfunction, volunteers who ingested powdered green tea containing 47.5 mg of theanine per day showed significantly lower decline in cognitive function compared with that of the placebo group [R]. BioPerine® (Black Pepper Fruit Extract) (standardized to 95% Piperine) - 10 mg Bioperine is a trademarked form of black pepper extract standardized to 95% Piperine. Black pepper extract is a very effective CYP3A4 and P-glycoprotein inhibitor [R]. These enzymes break down molecules like epinephrine and norepinephrine in the body. By prolonging the breakdown of the cognitive enhancing ingredients in this formula, Bioperine extends how long they work for, and can also significantly increase their bioavailability. Huperzine A - 400 mcg Huperzine A works by inhibiting acetylcholinesterase in the brain, which is an enzyme that breaks down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is not only a major regulator of cognitive performance, but it is also an important neurotransmitter needed for optimal muscular contractions during exercise. Huperzine A has shown to promote neurogenesis (the birth of new neurons in the brain) and act as a neuroprotective agent for existing neurons in the brain. In turn, Huperzine A has shown to enhance memory, focus and overall cognitive function [R, R]. Huperzine A is one of the most potent Nootropics that you can really “feel” and it complements the other Nootropics in this formula perfectly. Other Notable Compounds I Didn’t Include In The Formula And Why Noopept, Racetams, Other Synthetic Nootropics And Prodrugs Although they are effective Nootropics, Noopept, Racetams (class of drugs all named with the suffix "racetam"), prodrugs like Adrafinil,  and other synthetic compounds that cannot be found in nature or in the food supply are not DSHEA compliant and cannot be legally sold as dietary supplements, so we did not include any. If this wasn't the case, I probably would have included 30 mg of Noopept in the formula. I also like Phenylpiracetam. Vitamins Vitamins are often included in Nootropic formulas to make a supplement facts panel look more impressive. If a company is willing to sacrifice room in their capsules to inflate their ingredient profile with stuff you very likely already get from diet or a multivitamin, that is a major red flag. More often than not, the dosages included are next to useless and are just there to make a product look more comprehensive. The main issue with this is that you only have so much room in a capsule. Most Nootropic products use a "00" capsule size in their bottles. Each "00" sized capsule can fit about 735 mg in it. That is precious space, and including a useful amount of vitamins in a product can easily take up several capsules of space. If a company is wasting space with vitamins and only has a serving size of around 6 capsules, they are probably just trying to hide the fact that the actual Nootropics portion of their formula is watered down garbage. Conclusion - What To Expect From Gorilla Mind Smooth In general, you can expect clear headed mental clarity, as well as improved information retention, creativity, productivity and concentration. Gorilla Mind Smooth is not designed to jack your brain into high gear, as that is a stimulant driven mechanism. Rather, it is purely meant to enhance cognitive function and overall mental performance. Try Gorilla Mind Smooth for yourself here.

In this episode, David talks to Andrew Hackett about the ubiquitous applicability of the love-fear dichotomy, and how it can change your life. --- This episode should be listened to skeptically; it does not live up to Nootralize's scientific standards anymore --- They also talk about Protandim, a supplement with 5 nootropic compounds in it: Bacopa, Turmeric, Milk Thistle, Ashwagandha, and Green Tea Extract. They conclude that you should do your own research before using the product. Before you use Protandim to prevent/cure any disease, please read this: https://www.fda.gov/inspections-compliance-enforcement-and-criminal-investigations/warning-letters/lifevantage-corp-510546-04172017 Andrew Hackett and Protandim Links: https://andrewhackett.com.au http://andrewhackett.lifevantage.com/products/protandim-nrf2/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=Protandim NOOTRALIZE LINKS: Nootralize Website: nootralize.com SoundCloud: soundcloud.com/@nootralize Medium: medium.com/@nootralize Twitter: twitter.com/nootralize

Full article @ https://thesternmethod.com/virender-sodhi Dr Virender Sodhi was the first Ayurvedic and Naturopathic physician in the United States. From a young age, Dr. Sodhi knew he wanted to be a physician. This was a kid who would visit the village doctor and pretend he was ill so that he could take the prescribed medicine home, label it and add it to his growing “medicine cabinet”.  After moving to the United States, Dr Sodhi completed his ND degree at Bastyr University, Washington in 1988. The following year he founded the Ayurvedic and Naturopathic Clinic that he still practices at today.  It wasn’t until many years later, after dealing with cancer in his family, that Dr Sodhi turned his professional focus to oncology. Dr Sodhi completed a fellowship in Integrative Oncology with Dr. Mark Rosenberg in 2012 and a steady stream of cancer patients followed. Today he helps patients from around the globe using traditional Ayurvedic principles and integrative treatment protocols.  ***Resources Mentioned*** The Ayurvedic & Naturopathic Medical Clinic The Life of Jesus in India CoCurcumin Ayush Herbs Livit 2 Bacopa monnieri Ashwagandha Boswellia Serreta - Boswelya Plus Amla  Neem  Gotu Kola - Ayu-Dep by Ayush Herbs *** In This Episode: I’m really excited about this episode! I’ve interviewed a lot of different health professionals about cancer over the years but this is the first time I’ll be exploring Ayurveda. Ayurvedic medicine is the primary care model for hundreds of millions of people in India. Dr Sodhi talks me through what Ayurveda is and what makes it different from other Eastern medicine practices. We talk about some of the medicinal herbs used in Ayurvedic medicine – particularly the ones with anti-cancer properties, and how they can help patients as anti-cancer protocols and as integrative therapies alongside other alternative and/or conventional cancer treatments. Plus we’ll cover off where to find the best quality Ayurvedic herbs. Enjoy! Can you start with telling us what Ayurveda is? Ayurveda is thousands of years old. Deep-seated in Indian culture The ayurvedic philosophy to good health is to live in harmony with and follow the laws of nature Cancer is the prime example of what happens when we stray away from mother nature How did you get into medicine and in particular cancer? Born and raised in small rural village in Himalayas  His father was a school principal with a keen interest in medicine  Father taught him about plants and herbs and their medicinal properties Began collected herbs and medicines. Even feigned illness to his doctor so he could add what was prescribed to his collection When his father died of lung cancer, Dr Sodhi vowed to work in oncology. Didn’t happen until his sister was diagnosed with breast cancer years later Completed his fellowship in Florida with integrative oncologist Dr Mark Rosenburg Cancer patients started pouring in Why is there such an emphasis on herbs in Eastern medicine? Indian culture is very old and advanced in thinking Historically India was the learning academy for the world The Life of Jesus in India (YouTube video) - did Jesus go to India during the ‘missing years’ before return to Jerusalem? Consider the behaviour of animals - they look, sniff, taste and if they like it they eat it. We need to use our senses in the same way Close connection with mother nature is part of Indian culture Native American culture is rich in herbology Wild food foraging How is Ayurveda different from other practices? Mental, emotional, spiritual, physical - Ayurveda focuses on all these aspects Cancer patients often have mental or emotional issues Cancer is not one disease, group of many diseases Most diseases are a result of lifestyle Our food chain is contaminated, no safety data on chemicals in our environment We need to drive change by not purchasing these products  Pesticides killing our gut microbiome Do you provide the mental and emotional support? Assess and provide tools but refers to others for ongoing support Changing thought processes is key to long term health We must create balance every day  What Ayervadic herbs would people be familiar with? Turmeric and curcumin - helps with inflammation and changes gene behavior Dr Sodhi’s product - CoCurcumin Boswellia Serreta (Frankincense) - anti-inflammatory. Beneficial for neuroblastoma, bone cancers and sacommas Ashwagandha - adaptogen that helps the body balance itself. Anti-angiogenic effect - restricts blood supply to tumors Natural compounds have DNA and can communicate with the body. Synthetic drugs cannot  Natural compounds support the immune system Immunotherapy gaining popularity  Neem - antifungal, antibacterial, antiviral. Creates autophagy in cancer cells (cell starves) The immune system has the tools to fight cancer cells if it is working properly How is your turmeric product different Turmeric oils are not very bioavailable unless you add fat Golden milk is a drink with milk and turmeric Coconut milk contains medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) that help keep sugar away from cancer cells and make it more bioavailable CoCurcumin uses MCTs to significantly improve the bioavailability of curcumin. CoQ10 is added to support cardiovascular and inflammatory function.  Trikatu, a traditional Ayurvedic combination of piperine from black pepper is also added to enhance turmeric absorption. Metronomic approach to chemotherapy (micro / low dosing) is becoming more popular How do you design an anti-cancer herbal protocol? Ongoing learning process Every disease starts with the mind Looks at the whole picture  Food, digestion. Chew your food, eat mindfully, eat nutrient dense not calorie dense food We want quick fixes when it comes to our health, but never the answer Paleo dieters seem to have forgotten the gathering part from our hunter gather past Hunting was exercise Animals farm raised - changes composition of meat and fat Portions too large What are other go-to herbs for cancer? Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) Amla - immune booster, lowers cholesterol, good for digestion Ginger - destroys oncogenes, helps digestion Onion and garlic Eat raw to avoid destroying the active properties Bacopa monnieri - brain support Gotu Kola - collagen strengthen Eat local and seasonal Integrative use of Ayurveda with chemo Amla protects the heart Use ashwagandha alongside cyclophosphamide  Curcumin reduces side effects of chemotherapy  Livit-2 is a preparation of herbs that support the liver  In 12 years in oncology Dr Sodhi has not seen issues with combining the majority of herbs with chemotherapy Where do you go to get herbs? Need the best quality  Dr Sodhi grows and extracts himself Recommends +Metagenics, Xymogen Watch out for heavy metals in herbs Dr Sodhi’s herbal company - Ayush Herbs   Follow Dr Sodhi The Ayurvedic & Naturopathic Medical Clinic Facebook Youtube If you liked this episode, check out: The World’s Longest Living Cultures with Lowest Cancer Rates – What Can We Learn?: Jason Prall If you have a question or comment about this episode let us know below!!

Ready to take your brain health to the next level? Ready to be proactive, or even reverse, the signs of brain aging? Then this episode is definitely for you! We are fortunate to have “Amazon” John Easterling, Plant Medicine Formulator, with us again this week. He dives into the plant medicine treasures he’s found in the Amazon Rainforest that beautifully support healthy brain function and help you ward off brain aging.   * * *   ABOUT "AMAZON JOHN" EASTERLING Since 1976 John Easterling has been an explorer and treasure hunter in the Amazon Rainforest. It was there, after a personal health crisis, he was introduced to the traditional use of medicinal plants by the Indigenous People in Peru.  Since then his passion for plant medicine has only accelerated. Easterling's original degree is in Environmental Studies, he founded the Amazon Herb Company in 1990 and serves on the board of the Amazon Center of Environmental Education and Research.  Amazon John’s 28 years of Plant Medicine experience have been profiled on TV and Radio including "Good Morning America" and "Fox and Friends".  His product formulations have sold over $100 million worldwide. John has been featured in two PBS documentaries, World News Report "Amazon John and Rainforest Medicines" and Jean Michel Cousteau's "Return to the Amazon."  Easterling believes the dramatic growth and interest in plant medicine is still in its early stages and will continue to significantly improve life experiences and healthy outcomes into the future.   Causes of Alzheimer’s and Dementia Beta amyloid plaquing. “So when you get plaquing, your spark plug would foul, and you couldn't start your engine. So same thing here. You get that plaquing in there, and it just can't transmit to the next one, and you don't remember. You can't access that data where you put your keys.” Tau tangle, where you get the neurons that really just become tangled. Inflammation is a really big deal, and actually these other factors are really caused by it. It's a kind of inflammatory response from your brain to protect itself sometimes, developing this amyloid plaquing to seal off what it sees as an insult. Involvement of Candida in brain issues. Recent research showed was that people did not think before that the Candida could cross the blood brain barrier. Now they found that it actually can. It travels through your body doing that, looking for a place to reside where the biological terrain is right. If you introduce a lot of sugar and a lot of carbs into that terrain, they really love that. When these Candida cross that blood brain barrier, the brain recognizes that as an insult, and then you have this coating process. The brain will try to coat that to seal it off.   Prevention Lifestyle and diet - low sugar, more green vegetables Probiotics after a course of antibiotics - maintain a diverse colony-forming units of probiotics.

Bacopa monnieri, otherwise known as brahmi, water hyssop, or just bacopa, is an ancient Ayurvedic herb that's been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years, as a powerful cognitive performance enhancer. And while herbalists and healers from the Indian subcontinent have known about its power for almost countless generations, modern science is only now catching up and studying this plant for its phenomenal effects on helping us think better, react faster, and learn more. As you'll learn in this episode, bacopa can be used for a range of things, from helping you biohack your memory recall, shorten your reaction time, assist in learning new skills, and so much more. And although it's definitely not magic as I've described in the title, there's probably not any herb that we know of that comes as close to having magic-like properties on the human mind as bacopa does. It's one of my go-to herbal supplements, and one I see myself using for a long time to come. In this episode, I talk about some of bacopa's history, some scientific studies that uncover some of the cognitive performance benefits of the plant in placebo-controlled trials, the kinds of things you can expect when integrating it into your life, what kinds of enhancements of the mind are likely to be seen when taking a reasonable dose, the brain-protecting effects it may have on taking care of your mind now and into old age, how it may be used as a treatment for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and even epilepsy, and so much more. The two main studies I referenced in this episode can be found below, as well as quality recommended sources of bacopa if you're aiming to seek it out for your own use.   BACOPA STUDY 1: https://bit.ly/2KZjWUD  BACOPA STUDY 2: https://bit.ly/2XAsp1K    CONNECT Connect with Leon The Alchemist online for more intensive biohacking, longevity, and performance advice daily, with exclusive content you won't find anywhere else: INSTAGRAM: @LeonTheAlchemist | https://www.instagram.com/leonthealchemist  TWITTER: @AlchemistLeon | https://twitter.com/alchemistleon LINKTREE: https://linktr.ee/leonthealchemist WEBSITE: http://bioalchemy.co COURSE: http://bio.ax/   LEARN Want to take your biohacking skills to the next level?

Mentioned in the episode: Use code MAVEN20 to save 20% off your first Liveli order It all started with an email. The Liveli team reached out asking if I was interested in trying some of their products and I'll be honest, my initial reaction was to say no. I get pitched daily to try out a new and innovative product and 99.9% of the time I say no. The wellness space can be overwhelming and I don't believe you need a ton of products to feel good in your body. Not to mention the fact that most brands sending products are doing so with some strings attached. But this email was different. Not only did their story catch my attention, but they weren't asking for anything in return- simply to try, and enjoy and provide them with any feedback I may have for them. No blog posts, or Instagram shares. Just my true and honest feedback. Now there's something I could get down with. So What Is Liveli? Liveli is a line of supplements made from biologically active vitamins, minerals, botanicals and precursors that are most proven to elevate the ease of body and mind. They have three lines: Focus Clearli (my fave!), Restore Dayli and Sleep Peacefulli. What I love about Liveli's line is that it's not just vitamins and minerals. They've incorporated herbs and plant medicine that can work in conjunction with vitamins and minerals to make the most effective supplements. And even better, they've formulated it into two pills so you're not taking 234628394 different pills all at once. For example, Focus Clearli, which helps with focus and concentration is a blend of: Bacopa, Ginseng, B12 and L-tyrosine (among several others)... Better yet, the story behind Liveli is nothing short of inspiring. Founded by a husband and wife team of MDs after Dr. James Lee was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2010. Dr. James and Dr. Tess began their own supplement routine to help support Dr. James' recovery and improve his brain health. They realized they were onto something and began prescribing a similar routine to their patients and saw incredible results. From their own experience they founded Liveli and the rest is history. After trying out the products for myself and falling in love with them, I reached out to the team asking if Dr. James and Dr. Tess would be willing to come on the show and share their story. I'm thrilled they agreed and today I'm sharing this informative episode all about brain health with you.

www.EvaWorldwide.com   Whole Plant Hemp Phytocannabinoid Therapy https://www.learntruehealth.com/phytocannabinoid Phytocannabinoid therapy can be significantly helpful if you’re looking into alternative ways of healing. I’m sure most of you have heard the benefits of hemp to address health issues. But surprisingly, whole plant hemp phytocannabinoid therapy can also heal pets. My guest Nicole Davidsohn has an exciting story to tell regarding phytocannabinoid therapy as well as educate us on the other healing benefits of this wonderful hemp herb. Series Of Accidents The Eva company story began in spring 2014 with a series of accidents. Eva founder Dane Kemp was in a near-death experience because of a car accident but still came to work. He did, however, suffer from post-concussion syndrome. His partner and co-founder Nicole Davidsohn, on the other hand, was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Doctors initially thought it was a stomach flu. Even with a flu protocol it never stopped. Nicole Davidsohn was misdiagnosed. It was only after a colonoscopy that she discovered she had ulcerative colitis. “The biggest thing I noticed with ulcerative colitis was fatigue. The way that it hurt my life was that I just wanted to sleep all day and I had no appetite,” shares Nicole Davidsohn. Before Nicole Davidsohn was diagnosed, she was a raw vegan. After her diagnosis, Nicole Davidsohn was prohibited by her doctor to eat raw foods and vegetables. So, she ate boiled chicken and sweet potatoes to get back on track. A few months later, Nicole Davidsohn fell on a flight of stairs. She ended up with misplaced ribs and extreme pain throughout her nervous system. Nicole Davidsohn still did a high-intensity workout class but felt worse after. Hence, she was rushed to the E.R., stopped going to work and eventually went into depression spiraled by her injuries. Health Struggle Weeks went by, and Nicole Davidsohn tried the medication the doctors gave her. The medicines were really strong which made Nicole Davidsohn sick. She slept a lot, avoided the sun and noise. Dane Kemp convinced her to move into their home in Baltimore so his mom could help take care of her, but Nicole Davidsohn’s condition didn’t improve. One night, Dane Kemp suggested to Nicole Davidsohn that they go to Oaksterdam University in California. He initially wanted to take their cannabis seminar on the history of growing. It was timely because, in 2015, the industry was beginning to open up. Availability Nicole Davidsohn says cannabis helped Dane Kemp in the past with attention issues. But on the East Coast, it’s not easy to get. Even if Nicole Davidsohn had a medical card for her ulcerative colitis, it limited her to two grams per day of the only strain they had which was blue dream. Blue Dream is a strain to get you thinking, be creative and invigorate your mind. “You can’t just smoke any cannabis and get relief from it because you have to have the correct ratio of cannabinoids and terpenes to help you with your specific ailment. In D.C., the dispensary you go to is dependent on your address,” Nicole Davidsohn said. Seeing An Opportunity Because of this, Dane Kemp saw an opportunity and also saw a way to help people. Taking a seminar at Oaksterdam University, the couple learned so much about cannabis, cannabinoids, growing it, its history, starting a business, and learning about the industry. Nicole Davidsohn also called up an old friend in California who gave her a bag of medical cannabis goodies like edibles, vapes, and joints including a type of caramel popcorn which contained THC. It was the first time she used cannabis as real medicine. Nicole Davidsohn ate the popcorn at night and slept well. It did have Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC in it, but she wasn’t high when she went to class. Instead, she just used it after class. The THC popcorn ultimately made Nicole Davidsohn feel better. Going back home to the East Coast, the couple did some preparations to move back to the West Coast to start a new life and begin healing holistically. Cannabis Juice When Nicole Davidsohn was in California, she had been studying the work of Dr. William Courtney who was famous for cannabis juice. She eventually wanted to grow her own vegan cannabis plant and juice it. “So, I bought an aero garden, planted some seeds and started growing cannabis like a normal herb on the counter. When it was big enough, I stuck it in my juicer with some turmeric and ginger. It tasted great,” said Nicole Davidsohn. Cannabis has acidic cannabinoids in its raw form. THC is THC-A, so it has a carbon molecule on it. Nicole Davidsohn says that for it to become psychoactive, or to make you feel high, you need to heat it to 220 degrees Fahrenheit for a certain amount of time. “When you juice it, just like you would go outside and take a fresh apple off a tree, chop it up and put in your juicer. I would take the bud off the plant and put in the juicer,” Nicole Davidsohn said. “It extracts all the cannabinoids, terpenes and chlorophyll which is super healthy for you. You won’t get stoned.” Effects of Juicing First thing Nicole Davidsohn felt was that her eyes widened, and her brain cleared up. It gave her four to six hours of energy. One reason is that raw cannabis is full of nutrients. It’s also a complete protein with all the essential amino acids. It has a ton of vitamins and minerals, too. “The reason why I started juicing was to help my brain recover, but it was also to help get my colitis back in remission,” revealed Nicole Davidsohn. “I think because I needed the nutrients, it started to slow my digestion and bring my body back to homeostasis instead of an inflamed state. It didn’t heal my post-concussion syndrome. I went to speech therapy for that.” She adds, “Juicing is not the easiest thing in the world. I juice three times a week. But once I made a container of it, it last three days unless you vacuum seal it then it will last seven days. I wasn’t consistent at first. For the first year, I was juicing every month and taking other cannabinoids as well.” Birth Of Eva Starting the company Eva, they began as the first 100% comprehensively lab-tested dispensary delivery in Sonoma County. Both Dane Kemp and Nicole Davidsohn got familiar with the certificate of analysis on everything. Eventually, Eva was the only dispensary in California in 2015 to have their menu comprehensively third-party lab-tested. “The juice inspired the capsules that we have. I made one called Better Brain which has Bacopa, Matcha and the whole hemp plant flower in it. The speech therapy plus the juice and Better Brain capsules helped my brain to heal,” revealed Nicole Davidsohn. Mary The Dog Mary was Nicole Davidsohn’s a Pit/Dalmatian mix who received a terminal lymphoma diagnosis in October 2016. She was given three months to live with or without chemotherapy. Nicole Davidsohn was making the juice at the time and helping people with assorted health ailments. So, she thought of giving Mary the juice by incorporating it in her food. It was not long before Mary went from being fatigued to energized. “We also bought some CBD oils and mixed it with the whole plant. They were raw oils. But Mary did not respond the same way compared to when she was given the juice,” recalled Nicole Davidsohn. “I think because the oil is fat-soluble, and it takes a lot longer to digest and be absorbed.” Nicole Davidsohn continued to give Mary the juice with turmeric and ginger. The dog continued to stay energized and didn’t get sick. After Eva company developed Better Pet Relief for Mary’s cancer and arthritis, Mary’s cancer has gone into remission. The capsules also help manage Mary’s arthritis. Aside from this, Nicole Davidsohn also adds a little bit of black pepper extract into Mary’s diet to help in the absorption. Compatibility With Hemp Nicole Davidsohn explains that we have an endocannabinoid system. Endo means inside. We already have receptors and cannabinoids in our body. And cannabinoids are also found in the plant cannabis. But when we’re stressed out, we make fewer cannabinoids naturally. “When we take in external cannabinoids from hemp or cannabis, it’s like getting a multivitamin. So, it’s fulfilling that deficiency. I like to think of it as vitamins,” said Nicole Davidsohn. “When I think of the endocannabinoid system, I think like it’s just another set of receptors for a vitamin that we aren’t taking any more.” She adds, “I believe we have an epidemic of what I call endocannabinoid deficiency syndrome. When people are deficient in making their natural cannabinoids, they feel so much better when they ingest CBD oil, Eva CBD capsules or edibles.” Dementia First of all, Nicole Davidsohn says their capsules can’t cure, treat or manage any disease. For dementia, in particular, she suggests their product, Better Brain. Nicole Davidsohn also revealed that the element Bacopa was used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years for dementia and there are studies behind it. But cannabis can also do that. All of Eva’s capsules contain whole flowers, so everything is raw. And it is made of organic hemp flowers. It aims to clear the brain and give you that phytocannabinoid nutrient in case you’re deficient in it which could also be causing memory loss. Nicole Davidsohn again assures everyone that the capsules will not get you stoned. Dosage According to Nicole Davidsohn, the capsules are formulated to last four hours. If you’re looking to last an entire day of super brain power, Nicole Davidsohn recommends taking one capsule when you wake up and another one in the afternoon. “The formulas are based on research I did to find the best dose of Bacopa, cannabinoids, and Matcha green tea,” Nicole Davidsohn said. “Bacopa is also an adaptogenic stress reliever. People use it for stress relief, and they also use it for pain relief.” Panic Attacks For panic attacks, Nicole Davidsohn highly suggests their Better Mood product. It contains Valerian Root, Lemon Balm, and Hemp. A little dose of Valerian Root helps you calm down. It’s used for insomnia, anxiety and increase GABA receptors. Nicole Davidsohn says Lemon Balm is safe even for kids. Many kids take Lemon Balm for anxiety and focus. Pain Medication Addiction Nicole Davidsohn says their formula may help someone with a pain medication addiction by employing phytocannabinoid therapy. As a person tapers off the hard pain drugs, Nicole Davidsohn suggests taking Better Relief Capsules. However, it is advisable to work with a doctor to help taper off the medications and increase the intake of raw cannabinoids with turmeric and ginger. “Many studies have shown how CBD and whole plant hemp can reduce the side effects of withdrawal by nourishing the endocannabinoid system,” said Nicole Davidsohn. “If we’re able to supplement the body with phytocannabinoids, it would help people get off pain medications more quickly.” Eva’s products are also safe for children because it is non-psychoactive. Nicole Davidsohn says all their capsules are whole herbs, whole plants, and raw vegan. Better Brain and Better Mood Capsules can help children focus better and address their emotional issues like anxiety. Nicole Davidsohn also says that one of the big things that children can benefit from phytocannabinoid therapy is to help them reduce toxin overload.  Full Spectrum Full Spectrum would be including all of the cannabinoids and the naturally present terpenes in the plant. Nicole Davidsohn says you can get a Full Spectrum extract which would be using the whole plant. “Take a whole hemp flower, put it in some olive oil, shut it and put it in a dark place. Shake it once every day. Leave it in the dark cupboard for two weeks,” advises Nicole Davidsohn. “Then strain the oil out from the flower, and now you have a Full Spectrum Tincture.” Full Spectrum means it contains all of the cannabinoids and all of the terpenes that are naturally present in the plant. Nicole Davidsohn reveals that their company uses therapeutic hemp, specifically grown to be phytocannabinoid-rich, organic and does not have any contaminants in it.

My life is a little bit...strange. As an immersive journalist, self-experimenter and self-professed “biohacker”, I do relatively unconventional things to upgrade my body and brain. For example, I have this blood glucose monitor installed in my arm. It monitors my blood sugar 24-7. I wear a cognition-enhancing laser light helmet at work during the day, and stand naked in front of a giant red light panel while I’m replying to emails. I give myself weekly IV’s full of a cocktail of special vitamins. I’ve also had the fat sucked from my back and the marrow from my bones to concentrate my own stem cells, and had surgery to have these cells placed into every joint of my body and mainlined into my bloodstream. I have tens of thousands of dollars of advanced medical technologies housed in my basement. You get the idea. I’m not normal. But as a man who spends much of my life immersed in the modern health and longevity movement, attending anti-aging conferences and researching all the newfangled things people are doing these days to upgrade their bodies, I often survey the landscape of fringe supplements, biohacks, and anti-aging technologies and wonder… ...would our ancestors laugh at us? When it comes to living a long and healthy life, would their ancestral wisdom beat our modern science, hands down? After all, despite our modern infatuation with longevity and optimized bodies and brains, we are not strikingly healthier or longer-living than previous generations. In today's podcast, adapted from my recent TedX Coeur D' Alene Talk, I'll tackle this topic in detail. You'll discover: -Why modern medicine, for all its marvels, may not be all it's cracked up to be...4:10 CDC reports life expectancy has dropped 3 consecutive years. It's a false assertion to assume we'll live significantly longer than previous generations "Life expectancy" is calculated by insurance, mutual fund companies as number of years after retirement, not after birth. We would be seeing many more 100+ year olds; not the case We have a better chance of surviving childhood (disease, etc.) but not necessarily living longer. Our ancestors didn't always live nasty, brutish, short lives -Popular current fads to extend human lifespan...7:43  Vampire therapy, parabiosis (young blood) Ancient Greeks considered to blood a magic elixir Pliny the Elder, Homer, wrote about the healing efficacy of others' blood GDF11, a primary anti-aging proteins activated by young blood transfusion, is increased by oxytocin Stem cells More accessible than in years past My "biological age" dropped from 37 to 20 after my first stem cell transfusion Dietary adjustments to increase/enhance stem cells Food compounds, superfoods: colostrum, aloe vera, etc. Cryopreservation Modern day mummification  Metformin slightly modified version of a compound that was discovered in the French lilac plant (goat's rue) Adverse side effects: Lactic acidosis Mitochondrial disruption Vitamin B12 deficiency Increase risk for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Natural alternatives: Bitters, herbs, wild plants, bitter melon Rapamycin Inhibits excessive activation of immune cells via MTOR Upregulation of cellular cleanup mechanisms called autophagy Increases risk of infectious diseases and diabetes Natural alternatives: spermidine Intermittent fasting Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) Levels markedly decrease with age Natural alternatives: Raw honey Fermented foods Sauna sessions Pau d Arco tea  -Supplements and medicines used by our ancestors...19:25 -Natural ways to enhance our vision...22:45 Ancestors trained their vision; they didn't look at screens all day Plant compounds known to enhance vision: Zeaxanthin Carotenoids (kale, spinach, bell peppers) Innate ability to "see" in the absence of light or even sight -Natural hearing enhancement...24:45 Hunter gatherers were better equipped, physically, with their ears; perhaps because of time spent outdoors attuned to the frequencies of nature Turnip greens, collard greens, parsley, mustard greens, broccoli, etc. shown to decrease risk of hearing loss Adjusting your diet would be far cheaper and less convenient than what some self-experimenting types are doing (ear implants) -The natural "sixth sense" within us to navigate to True North...26:42 We possess a tiny amount of magnetite in our ethmoid bone (located between the eyes in the nasal cavity) Researchers suggest this built-in compass made hunting, migration, etc. possible We have perhaps lost this ancestral skill with the advent of road maps, GPS navigation -Natural ways to enhance our brains...27:30 Walnuts are rich in omega fatty acids, melatonin Lion's mane mushroom Bacopa flower (memory) Green tea (cognition) Psilocybin All of the above have been used for centuries, if not millennia -Natural alternatives to things like photobiomodulation, light therapy, PEMF, etc...29:15 Greeks engaged in "heliotherapy"; sunbathing akin to what we know as photobiomodulation St. John's Wort, chamomile, etc. can be used to ward off seasonal affective disorder -And Much More!
