Is There a Brain That Isn't Good as Bat?

I don’t know about you, but I have entered this year with a clear-cut intention to keep my mind, and my brain, in optimum condition. I figured an uptick in collective brain functionality is something we’re all in dire need of right now, which is why I invited Dr. Dan Stickler to join the show. As medical director for the Nuerohacker collective and co-founder of The Apeiron Center for Human Potential, he’s easily one of my brainiest neighbors here in Austin, TX. 

Join us as we go full-throttle on the cutting-edge ammunition you need to supercharge your brain and feel fully sovereign in your meat suit. We talk about how ketamine is transforming the realm of neurofeedback, the nootropic wonders of Qualia, all things peptides, and the legitimacy of microdosing. You’ll learn about every physical modality that can boost your bandwidth. Buckle up!

• Is “natural” really better for you?
• How ceremony and ritual affects outcome 

01:10:15 — The Peptide Lowdown 

• Separating fact from fiction: navigating the wild west of peptides 
• Why big pharma is going after peptides
• Using peptides to support the thymus gland
• The best way to use BPC-157 and TB-500 (I use alongside my JustThrive probiotic for a digestive boost)

THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

EATON HEMP. The CBD industry is all about trust, and with so many brands out there just slapping labels on products it is important to know where your products come from.

ORGANIFI RED. When that 2:30 feeling rolls around, just drop a scoop of Organifi Red in some cold water, stir it with a spoon, and enjoy the antioxidant benefits. Healthier than coffee and no crash!

MITOPURE. Mitopure is a breakthrough postbiotic which activates your body’s natural defense against aging. Clinically proven to unlock the potent bioactive, Urolithin A.

JOOVV. A new generation of Joovv devices are here and I am stoked. They’re sleeker, lighter, easier to set up, and allow you to stand 3x further away from the device while still getting the recommended dosage. There’s also a new ambient mode to help you wind down at the end of the day and a recovery mode that will help you rejuvenate after a tough workout. If you are ready to get a new Joovv device, you can get a discount for a limited time over at Joovv.com/luke.
