Limitless: Biohacking Brainpower, Health, Personal Growth & Beyond

Perhaps the popular pessimism about progress is dead wrong. As a pragmatic realist who leans optimistic when I can, I wanted a dose of optimism about the future, so I cracked open We Are As Gods, A Survival Guide for the Age of Abundance, by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler.

I got the dose of optimism I wanted, and I'll second-hand deal it to you here. But I got more: inspiration to endure and aspire because--spoiler alert--the age of abundance is not for all, but for the avaricious.

If "Deep Impact in real life" were to happen in our lifetimes, I’d bet on the next seven days. Here's why: this week we are all dashing through the Taurid meteor stream, and a foreboding 12,000-year-old Atlantean whisper, enshrined in the rock at Göbekli Tepe, points to our time (1960 to 2040).

So I suggest that you take a little time to meditate on your death—memento mori. Contemplating the inevitable puts things into perspective. All those things we stress and fret about retreat into the shadows when we look down the long tunnel of time that leads...

Every cell in your body demands Iodine--all 30 trillion of them. And when you're negligent and deny them this essential fuel, they protest. But when cells protest, we, too often, ignore their dire need.

Their protest is not polite; it manifests as: fatigue, hair loss, dry skin, frequent seasonal illness, weight gain, increased sensitivity to cold, languid libido, and/or persistent brain fog. And slowly, like 90% of Western populations who are at least subclinically Iodine deficient, you succumb to what seems like a natural decline in vivacity, while your doctor tells you that your endocrinology results are "within...

In the inaugural episode of Limitless Intelligence, I advance a provocative hypothesis: Human consciousness hacks reality; therefore, AI must demonstrate the ability to hack reality to prove its consciousness.

I present evidence for my extraordinary claim from the field of Noetic consciousness science that should impress even the most skeptical scientific materialist, and then propose 6 experiments. In the natural world, consciousness is the substrate of intelligence. If AI's intelligence is a veil for consciousness deserving dignity, it should be able to hack reality the way we can.

05:22 The central hypothesis: consciousness must...

The state of the Kratom space is sordid; fly-by-night vendors abound, and chemists create ultra-addictive forms of the herb, which marketers slap silly labels on and then sell at gas stations. For the longest time, I was unimpressed by Kratom, but recently it has passed 4 clinical trials--giving it a place in the performance optimizers' herbal armory.

I'm joined by Brandon Hayes of Tribe Botanics; we get into the promise and perils of Kratom along with the recent science. Tribe Botanics, based in New Jersey, stands out because of their transparency and quality standards: every batch is third-party...

Tis' the season to raise our glasses with friends and family! The good news is that the resulting hangovers can be hacked.

Many Biohackers choose to abstain from spirits altogether, but especially during the holidays, they are missing out on a lot of good times, unforgettable memories, and festive fellowship with their loved ones. This article presents a holistic protocol for mitigating all the downsides of rowdy revelry so you can indulge in some drinking guilt-free and without hating yourself the morning after...

Modafinil can wreck your sleep, even 10-16 hours after dosing—which can make you a sloppy villain the next day! If you're going to use it, you need to be very proactive about your sleep hacking and before-bed regimen.

I used 8:1 Dual Extract Lion's Mane for a month. It adds a pleasant earthy taste to my morning cup of steaming coffee. It has a subtle Nootropic effect. After taking it, I found myself in a productive, focused headspace.

Let's explore the science, benefits, and practical uses of Lion's Mane mushroom, including its potential to support neurogenesis, treat depression, and boost immune health. I share insights from recent research, personal experience, and tips for sourcing high-quality supplements.

The supplement industry is a capitalist wild wild west, a profiteers' paradise, a mostly unregulated free market, and smart consumers should beware.

When you realize that no one verifies that the actual individual ingredients are in a given product, you realize how much of a decision to buy and take a supplement is based on trust.

So here, to save you money and time, I break down how savvy Biohackers pick supplements, Nootropics, stacks, and anti-aging agents among the dizzying number of options on offer...

Is centuries-old dogma holding back your fitness and personal growth?

Might "working harder" (in the gym and in life) be self-sabotaging you while you could instead "time-hack" smarter?

Might you actually have all the time you need to elevate your mind to the divine frequency it's intended to receive and chisel your body so that every mirror refracts greatness?

We get pragmatic on these questions with PJ Glassey, an author, serial entrepreneur, and the creator of the revolutionary high-intensity protocol behind X Gym in Kirkland, Washington. He's going to tell us how to...

Magnesium Breakthrough is my favorite supplement from BiOptimizers; it contains seven different forms of Magnesium. I'll tell you about my experiences with it and break down some of the recent science on these seven forms.

We have been using the other BiOptimizers' products for a few months now, and the Magnesium Breakthrough is my favorite - it's the one I'd like to have permanently in my Biohacker armamentarium.

Creatine is one of the most well-known health supplements. It's often caricatured as something just for gym bros because it helps them build muscle. But actually, it's a veritable Mitochondrial Nootropic for all-around human awesomeness.

I've been fasting for years; in fact, it's a major economic lifehack for us, so I decided to read Dave Asprey's deep-dive book on the topic, Fast This Way.

Perhaps you're enticed by the idea of sex hacking but just a little confused about where you should dive in: taking libido-enhancing supplements, practicing tantric semen-retention techniques, or experimenting with some of the questionable tech and gadgets you've seen advertised.

"I swear upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man."—Trenchant words of the declarative oath of Thomas Jefferson. You have heard it a hundred times before on podcasts; it gets repeated endlessly across the pro-freedom dissident sphere online.

Why? Because the pen is mightier than the sword, BUT the penis is mightier th...

Another Nootropic peptide that empowers the mind, although it’s better for treating brain disorders than it is for healthy people to use as a smart drug.

Richard Harris has one of the top channels on Odysee, where he inspires thousands to reject the slavery that the modern world imposes upon us.

In this wide-ranging conversation, we get deeply into the weeds, connecting the philosophical to the pragmatic. We explore the intersection of spirituality, Biohacking, and the fight for freedom.

For years, as a Biohacker, I've been a voracious consumer of broccoli--the way I do broccoli is awesomely nutritious and delicious! So I was keen to try Sulforaphane, which I heard described as "broccoli in a pill." Do Not Age's research team estimates that SulforaBoost's two-capsule, 400-milligram special formulation equals the Sulforaphane content of two and a half heads of Broccoli. Here I discuss its potential in anti-aging, cognitive enhancement, muscle recovery, and disease prevention...

I'm joined by Mikael Avatar--a man who essentially shouldn't be here, let alone breaking records. Born clinically dead for 45 minutes with cerebral palsy, doctors didn't expect him to walk, yet he went on to set a Paralympic world record in the long jump. After spending 40 years trapped in chronic pain, he cracked the code to becoming pain-free and now spends his time dismantling the "performance masks" of high-achieving leaders, helping them move from the empty pursuit of status to genuine, lived freedom.

I've used Horny Goat Weed as a sex hack for years now, I've tried several libido-enhancing herbs and supplements and this herb is the best.

I have the best sex of my life on this stuff. It's a sensation enhancer, it makes you hornier and it improves your erections. You might be concerned that you'll orgasm after like 3 minutes if you take something that makes you hornier and more sensitive, but in combination with tantric breathing techniques and doing Kegels, I'm consistently able to maintain control and stave off orgasm long enough to bring Mrs. Roseland to...

In this interview, a throwdown between Aristotelian and Platonic philosophy of personal growth, with Steve Barton, a Gestalt psychology-trained High-Performance Executive Coach, and he's the author of The Father, the Son, and the Aha Moment--which I read as I'm a new-ish dad. The book, which is really about mindset, has some good insights, but I disagreed with a few of its fundamental suppositions. It's a bit too Platonic for my tastes, but I invited Steve on the podcast for a bit of friendly disagreement...

Zinc deficiency is dire, yet direly difficult to actually determine. You may be muddling through life with a subclinical, undiagnosed Zinc deficiency - even if you take a multivitamin with Zinc in it!

Happiness is the enemy of the future. Happiness is like a mirage in the desert; it eludes your grasp when you most strive for it. And yet, in my first book, I wrote about how…

Civilization is starving for macro-innovation. For our species to pass Fermi's great filter in the next few centuries, we need more of the kinds of scientific breakthroughs that occurred in the 20th century.

The Cobalamin is the gateway brain vitamin. Since B12 plays a role in so many foundational processes that power our minds and bodies, people should begin their Biohacking by ensuring they are getting enough of the B vitamins before diving into hardcore Nootropic or pharmaceutical solutions.
