Limitless Mindset

Cognitive decline is prolific ; at least 25% of Americans over age 65 suffer from mild cognitive impairment, according to Scientific American . Doctors like to tell their patients that there’s no cure for Dementia or Alzheimer’s , that you just need to suffer a slow decline of your mind for decades, and will be spending a small fortune on increasingly ineffective pharmaceutical drugs. Being diagno...

Winter is coming… The cold season that a lot of people find depressing, you’ll notice your motivation and mood are lagging, you’ll sleep more, and maybe gain some weight. This has a very apt name — seasonal affective disorder . There are a lot of Biohacks for beating S.A.D., but one mindfulness lifehack that anybody can do anytime is intermittent antidepressant meditation, and it is effective at i...

I put Pharmaceutical Grade in quotation marks because there’s not really such a thing as pharmaceutical-grade herbs and Adaptogens, but I use the phrase because it’s known to mean of the highest quality and purity. This is super important with Bacopa in particular. You’ll want to read or listen to my meta-analysis of Bacopa before purchasing or consuming this. Bacopa is everywhere in the supplemen...

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. Mentioned ...

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...

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... I've...

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.

But we lost him in the seventh month due to a random cord incident. For a while, I said, "We lost the pregnancy," instead of, " I lost a child " -- maybe because I never saw his f...

The worst day of my life was June 23rd, 2023 (I'll explain why I'm telling this story now - two years later) The day before, my wife grew increasingly concerned that she hadn't felt any baby kicks from our son, who she was six months pregnant with. We visited the emergency room to get an ultrasound. I sat in those uncomfortable metal seats, bracing myself for the worst possible news an expecting f...

Yes, I’m wearing an eye patch now. And it’s finally time I told THE TRUTH about why my eye is… like that. It begins with my mother. After college, she took a solo Euro trip -- the kind of spiritually expansive journey you go on before seed oils ruin everything. She ends up in Crete. She is big into hiking, sunlight exposure, and keeping her circadian rhythm synced with Mediterranean daylight cycle...

Self Quantification is quite the rabbit hole to go down… In principle, it’s a pretty good idea. We have all these options for self-improvement or Biohacking — it seems like every week there's some new supplement, technology, app, device, meditation technique, or productivity hack to try. Yet we know that a lot of these options won’t really work for us… For example... I’ve personally tried at least...

Dopamine is often misunderstood as the “pleasure” molecule, but its primary role is motivation, reward-seeking behavior, and reinforcement learning. It drives goal-oriented behavior, productivity, focus, and even longevity. Dopamine is essential in habit formation and performance optimization—but it’s also involved in addiction and burnout. I'm joined by my friend, Lucas Aoun of Boost Your Biology...

It's a new year, and with my self-inflicted new haircut and my lady at my side, we aim to impress by delivering sagacious responses in this Q&A podcast. From water's hardness, Huperzine's hijinks, to lowering blood pressure with pleasure and Moringa's might.

While everyone else is hoping that 2025 will be a better year than those earlier this decade, I suggest that you think more about 2030... And I know what you might be thinking… I'm not big on New Year's Resolutions, Jonathan. I've disappointed myself with pass/fail goals too many times in the past. My current stack of habits is pretty good, so I'm just going to stick with those. Or maybe you're mo...

Yesterday someone reminded me of a thing I once said... "I don’t believe in love." Which might sound terrible. Or ridiculously nihilistic. Sometimes I intellectually have a deer-in-the-headlights moment when confronted with how my opinions and outlook on life have changed over time. We were slightly different people a year ago and we certainly were five or ten years ago. In the last year, I’ve exp...

Hopefully, you're reading this just prior to (or just after) splurging a not-insignificant chunk of change on some high-quality Nootropics. If you're going to spend...

Anyone considering using cognitive training apps is faced with a difficult question… Is the evidence compelling enough to commit a few weeks of time to it? Does it work beyond placebo effect — or practice effects on the standardized tests? Consider how you might answer this question? * Online reviews? * A recent publication in the popular press? * A peer-reviewed scientific paper? Highest Grade Ev...

My  rather attractive  research assistant began working on this article around her second week without a cigarette. As she watched dozens of YouTube vlogs and perused hundreds of anecdotal reports on forums she became increasingly alarmed that it  seemed like  almost everybody who quits smoking gets (at least a little) fat! None of the choices seemingly presented were appealing... Quit smoking  an...
