Hey friend, In high school, a homie handed me a pill. Adderall. “Try it,” he said. I thought, Why not? Midterms were brutal and I could use the boost. 30 minutes in—heart racing, sweat dripping, mind bouncing like a rabid squirrel. This wasn’t focus... this was chaos. Hours passed. Still wired. Still restless. I tried to sleep but couldn’t. I lay there, staring at the ceiling. This sucked. I thought to myself: "How the hell was this supposed to help me perform better in school?" The NeuroDose...

Hey friend, Not long ago, I was bedridden with relentless, never-ending fatigue. Before that, my wife, Abigail, and I were living our dream—traveling the West Coast in a self-converted camper van, embracing every day as an adventure. Then everything fell apart… Abby... ready for another adventure, until... A mystery illness (later diagnosed as mold toxicity or Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) left me chronically ill. Lyme disease was also suspected, and a doctor confirmed it...

Hey friend, I don't know about you, but back in the day, I tried everything under the sun to mask the taste and texture of psilocybin mushrooms. Don’t get me wrong—I love culinary mushrooms like shiitake, portobello, chanterelles, etc. But shrooms? Yeah… not so much. You know you're in for a wild ride when you're holding a thick, psilocybin-oozing (shout out to my boy Dev), gold-capped, blue-bruised mushroom. And getting it down? That’s the real challenge. I’ve put them on everything—Port of...

Hey friend, Anxiety is out of control and so is the way we treat it. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illnesses in the U.S., affecting over 40 million adults—nearly 1 in 5 people. [1] And that number keeps rising as our collective well-being declines… Desperate for relief, many turn to conventional medicine. But today’s system isn’t designed to heal—it’s designed to prescribe. Big Pharma offers quick fixes, and doctors hand out benzodiazepines (benzos) like candy, without...

Hey friend, Muscle mass matters. It’s not just about aesthetics—it’s a key predictor of healthspan and longevity. And it’s not just your body that benefits… your brain and mental health do too. To build a healthier body and better brain, strength training is key: Strength training boosts BDNF, a protein crucial for neuron growth, memory, and brain function—helping to protect against cognitive decline. [1] It also reduces cortisol (stress) and increases dopamine, serotonin, and endorphins,...

Hey friend, Nothing could’ve prepared me for how terrifying my first LSD trip would be. I took an ungodly amount (without realizing it). At a party. Surrounded by people who had no idea how powerful acid was. Neither did I. As I came up, the walls breathed, the intricate rug patterns slithered up them, and the lights flickered between blinding and dim—without anyone touching them. My mind raced, and sounds grew louder. Then—ringing. A weird sound. My phone. A random number. I answered. It was...

Hey friend, Focus is now a rare commodity. The modern world is designed to fracture attention, making sustained focus more difficult than ever. Endless notifications and dopamine-driven distractions keep your brain hooked on quick hits. High-stimulation content rewires your brain, making deep work feel unbearable. I'll admit, technology has created incredible things—but at a cost. You pay with your focus. Your time. Your attention. Your ability to get shit done. How much is it costing you? As...

Hey friend, You and I are living in a human zoo experiment. Tens of thousands of untested chemicals now saturate our food, water, air, and environment. Heavy metals, VOCs, plastics, pesticides, fluoride, pharmaceuticals—the list goes on. Your body wasn’t built to handle this toxic load… Human-made toxins (xenobiotics) get stuck in your system, wreaking havoc on your brain, gut, immunity, hormones, mental health, and more. I know this firsthand. Toxicity wrecked my early twenties—crippling...

Hey friend, Remember those D.A.R.E. and Above the Influence commercials? One that stands out is the girl who just smoked some ganja, sitting on the couch, completely flat like a pancake—unresponsive and totally zonked. It was so over-the-top, it ended up being more funny than cautionary… Honestly, it probably made people more curious about trying it than deterred them! While I support raising awareness about hard drugs like meth, cocaine, heroin, and opioids, their messaging around...
