Hack Holiday Stress 😩

Hey friend, Christmas and the holidays used to feel so magical to me—maybe it was because I was young, but I don't think that's it. It feels like, on a collective level, the magic has faded. At this point, it feels like the holidays have been hijacked by consumerism. It's no longer about tradition, ritual, or enjoying time with loved ones—it's about buying and accumulating sh*t you don't need. Beyond consumerism, the holiday season has turned into a scramble of obligations and societal...

Hey friend, With Christmas approaching, let me introduce you to the mushroom that may have inspired Santa Claus: Amanita muscaria. Amanita muscaria, the iconic "Fly Agaric," is one of the most recognizable magic mushrooms, celebrated in folklore—from Viking berserkers to Siberian shamanism—and immortalized in pop culture through Alice in Wonderland and Mario's adventures. However, Amanita muscaria goes beyond mythology—it's an atypical psychedelic with unique psychoactive and medicinal...

Hey friend, One day, in my early twenties, my brain stopped working. I couldn’t recall words, names, or phrases—stumbling mid-sentence, searching for thoughts that wouldn’t come. Even familiar faces were a blank slate for their names. I was so fogged up I couldn’t even access my memories—it felt like they were locked away, out of reach. My once laser-sharp focus was gone. I used to zero in on tasks with ease, but now I felt erratic, struggling to direct my attention or sustain it for long. It...

Hey friend, Your entire cognitive and emotional experience is shaped by your brain and nervous system's function. To transform your life, start by changing your brain. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a protein in the neurotrophin group that supports the growth, maintenance, and survival of neurons in the brain and nervous system. It plays a key role in brain health, learning, memory, and emotional regulation. Think of BDNF as Miracle-Gro®️ for your brain—it’s a major factor (pun...

Hey friend, I've experienced the power, joy, giggles, and even the horror of magic mushrooms more than any other psychedelic—probably in the triple digits by now. Let’s just say I’ve had my fair share of magic mushrooms, but none of those trips could’ve prepared me for this one. Many years ago, a homie handed me a bag of shrooms... but these weren’t your typical Psilocybe cubensis. No, these were specimens I’d never seen before. The blue bruising on the stem screamed psilocybin, and as my...

Hey friend, My grandmother had Alzheimer's. Watching her decline—first gradually, then rapidly—was heartbreaking. She’d ask me the same question over and over: “What grade are you in?” I'd gently remind her, “Grandma, I’ve been out of school for three years.” She was a saint; a gentle, kind, and deeply empathetic soul, like no one else I've ever known. She passed in 2015, but her love and memory live on in everyone she touched and inspired. As a teenager watching her slowly slip away, I...

Hey friend, I used to get sick all of the time… I was hit with relentless, agonizing tonsillitis, the flu, and annoying colds that seemed to come out of nowhere, hang around forever, and then circle back for more. Back then, antibiotics were handed out like candy, and I’d take a round every time I got sick (not something I'd recommend). The crazy part was that, even though the antibiotics might have cleared up my illness, over time I was getting sick more often and found myself back at the...

Hey friend, We’ve been sold the myth that depression is just a serotonin imbalance—and that simply boosting serotonin with a pill is the fix. While there’s some truth to the serotonin theory, it’s far from the full picture. If it were, we’d all be a lot happier and more fulfilled. Yet, despite 12.7% of the U.S. population (43.8 million people) taking antidepressants, overall happiness hasn’t improved, according to the American Psychological Association. [1] I’ve spoken and worked with...

Hey friend, I struggled with low testosterone in my early 20s. I couldn't understand why—it should've been at its peak, but instead, it was rock bottom. At my lowest, my testosterone levels hit 223 total, 37.5 free, and 83.6 bioavailable. My lowest T levels I faced relentless chronic fatigue, couldn’t gain muscle no matter what, and struggled with stubborn body fat. My cognition was a mess, with constant brain fog. This all started when I became symptomatic from mold toxicity. That’s when the...

Hey friend, I do not doubt that nearly every human being on this planet has been impacted by addiction, either directly or indirectly—whether friends, family, partners, community members, or generationally. According to the National Center for Drug Abuse Statistics and Addiction Group data, nearly 50 million Americans faced a substance use disorder (SUD) last year, with alcohol use disorder (AUD) being the most prevalent, impacting about 30 million (60%). [1] Shockingly, 70% of those with AUD...
