Limitless: Biohacking Brainpower, Health, Personal Growth & Beyond

You hear the word "pseudoscience" bandied about quite a lot. You also hear its cousin, "pseudointellectual," being used. A whole lot less frequently, you may hear the word I like even more than these two, "sophistry." And I'm sure you're already sick of hearing the buzzphrase "Fake News," which is definitionally synonymous with pseudo-intellectualism. But you don't need a PhD to spot pseudoscience...

In this minisode interview with William Mulvaney, we discuss the rather insane feat he's undertaking (with his feat) - a 100-mile ultramarathon. We talk about injury workout prevention, share unconventional willpower shortcuts, and swap stories.

In this old-school Q&A episode, I break down on the slippery differences between wet dreams, fapping, and Tantric self-cultivation for men. Then I get less salacious, sharing the best Nootropic for verbal fluency, delve into the nuances of using caffeine with Nootropics, drop some adaptogenic wisdom, and address a brain training objection. I was about 17 hours into a 24-hour fast recording thi...

Stoicism - the philosophy articulated by the embattled Marcus Aurelius as his personal life and empire threatened to collapse around him in 170 BC. It's over 2000 years old, and we are now living in a world utterly inconceivable to even the most imaginative Roman aristocrat in the midst of a psychedelic Dionysian fever dream. Modernity seems architected to conflict directly with every facet of evo...

This red alga is a multi-vitamin in a moss; it’s nutrient-dense, with 92 of the 102 minerals that make up the human body. Also referred to as Chondrus crispus or carrageen moss, it is another health supplement used since time immemorial. It’s native to the windswept, rocky, jagged coasts of Ireland, Scotland, and the Northern Atlantic coasts. Read meta-analysis 📑 All resources and science mention...

Like in any other domain of human endeavor, there is a spectrum of quality and accuracy in science. Some double-blind, placebo-controlled human research is excellent and profoundly helpful to us in living better, but I will show here that some "science" is tantamount to a ranty, opinionated blog. Some is funded by the pharmaceutical industry and is essentially marketing masquerading as science......

Barcelona is the Spanish city you probably hear the most about, but I’ll compare, contrast, and make the case here why you should go to Valencia instead.

The wife and I are back from a little weekend getaway. I dropped 200 milligrams of Phenylpiracetam, she put her clothes back on, and we recorded this exceedingly chipper podcast answering your Biohacking and lifehacking questions... 1:55 About my new book for men 10:50 Are DrNatura.com or NuScience.com credible? 11:50 Should I get an RF or EMF-blocking beanie? 20...

In the very turbulent first year of this decade, AZITHROMYCIN®, a 40-year-old drug, has almost become a household name, being the subject of over 66,000 news media articles. Is it being unfairly demonized because it's a cheap, effective drug competing with big pharma's patented +$2000 drug, Remdesivir? Does it deserve a place in the antifragile Biohacker's anti-COVID tool chest? More about AZITHRO...

An adaptogenic medicinal herb of mythological potency for increasing stamina and a profound sense of well-being. Panax Ginseng literally means "True Ginseng" and refers to the most potent varieties of red Ginseng with a wide array of performance-enhancing and disease-preventative health effects. Discussed... 0:26 Panax Ginseng 2:15 Getting Legit Ginseng 6:07 Cognition 6:58 Reac...

I did quite a bit of Googling, read numerous reviews and forum discussions about sourcing Ginseng, and I believe this is the highest quality mainstream product. It has a very high 8% ginsenoside content. It's the highest-rated Ginseng product on Amazon with over 650 customer reviews, which is pretty impressive. It's a bit pricey, with a one-month supply costing around $40, but if you want the real...

I'll be answering some of the August Biohacking and lifehacking questions about being a "Smart Drug dealer," Modafinil vs ADHD drugs, and the Mandela Effect in this Q&A podcast. Please excuse the truly awful English accent I attempt! 0:35 Risks of creating a new Nootropic? 9:40 Is "smart drug dealing" legal? 14:14 Modafinil vs Adderall 18:22 The Mandela Effect is NOT false...

Underslept? It happens to even the best Biohackers sometimes. The obvious solution to get better sleep: do meditation and go to bed earlier, avoid screens before bed, wear blue-blocking glasses, take magnesium or melatonin before bed - stuff you've no doubt heard of before. But sometimes even the best sleep hacker finds themselves sleep-deprived. I'm no stranger to it myself as I've been a salsa-d...

A Chinese herb and historical aphrodisiac for both sexes, also known by the significantly less awesome name Epimedium. Also known as Rowdy Lamb Herb, it earned these well-deserved names after Chinese herders, no doubt very bored, observed their goats and sheep becoming noticeably friskier after feeding on it. Some people might not categorize Horny Goat Weed as a Nootropic, but I do because the sex...

This molecule of Japanese origin is the "used panties vending machine" of Racetams - a category of smart drugs. Fasoracetam is another example of irresponsible misrepresentation online of drugs that lay consumers really shouldn't be using. While the internet can inform us of very helpful drugs like Piracetam, it also informs the masses about drugs like Fasoracetam that don't belong outside of the...

Taoist masters over a very long time developed these counter-intuitive breathing techniques for everything from mindful spirituality and longevity to tantric sex and explosive physical performance. This is how a Jedi would breathe... 2:13 "In principle, breathing is a science, but in practice it is an art" 8:15 4-Stages Breath Control 23:05 The Cosmonauts' Guru 24:12 Abdominal-...

This stimulating class of drugs hacks the chemical domain of the essential neurotransmitter Acetylcholine(ACh), which may NOT be a good thing. ACh is one of the three essential Limitless neurotransmitters.

The main benefit to a Biohacker of this stuff is as a sleep hack; I get some rockstar sleep on two little tincture-fulls of this stuff. I fall right asleep, slumber deeply, and wake up feeling fully rejuvenated. The Spagyric tincture doesn't taste bad at all. I typically washed it down with a glass of water.

I'll be answering some of the July Biohacking and lifehacking questions in this Q&A podcast. Sorry, I've been out of touch lately!

DHM is a hangover cure for smart biohackers who like to imbibe, but it’s well worth supplementing even if you don’t drink to excess... I break down everything you need to know about Dihydromyricetin and why it belongs in the cabinet of every self-respecting boozing biohacker. I also share how I make and enjoy "Psilocybin Beer” - yes, that’s a thing (you must try)! 2:44 Storytime 5:00 If...

I'm done uploading because YouTube sucks! And YouTube sucks so much that, like the swirling accretion disk of a supermassive black hole devouring a brilliant galaxy, it illuminates how much people (in general) suck these days. Strong words, I know. I'll elucidate and I've got some tough love for you here, but first, a little bit about my history with YouTube, you may find this interesting... Read...

In this special Q&A episode, I'm joined in my Biohacking Lair by my mom to answer your questions and respond to some of the feedback we got from you in the recent Limitless Mindset Audience Survey. Ranging from how to Biohack without the tedium of consuming endless pills and powders to the awesomeness of Elk Velvet Antler and how to get your very own Bulgarian "model wife." 7:30 Elk Velve...

The Intelligence Squared YouTube channel is one of the few places that transcend the internet echo chamber by pitting teams of experts against each other for over an hour to explore the nuances and challenge our preconceptions of decisive issues. This week, they debated the motion: College Students Should Be Allowed to Take Smart Drugs - which I watched with keen interest. 0:15 Q&A: Shoul...

Cycloferon is a notable immune-boosting medicine and interferon hack that's come on my radar in the course of my research into COVID-19 treatments. It's a direct anti-viral that blocks the reproduction of the viral infection, and to this effect, it's fast-acting; its treatment course is between several days to a week, so you'll know quickly if it's working for you.

Becoming a new father is a page flip without equal to a new chapter of life, and I have a lot to learn, so finishing a thousand-page book on the topic seems smart! Here, I break down what I learned from Ben Greenfield's tome on the topic - from tackling the screen time issue, and providing actually edifying education to establishing family traditions and building character. I suppose this is the f...
