Introduction

Making his third appearance, the luminary Dr. Ted Achacoso is quickly becoming a fixture on The Life Stylist Podcast. In this one, we look at the world of nootropics in a whole new light, doing a deep dive into what they are, how they function, and how, through carefully-considered choices, you can achieve a Buddha-like level of enlightenment with the right stack of compounds. It also continues a theme I’m sure you’ve noticed – people are more conscious than ever before about brain health and how lifestyle choices may impact it in positive or negative ways. We’re also seeing supplements and nootropics become more mainstream. As that world opens up, the possibilities for brain optimization become endless. Tune in for a good one. It’s third-eye opening stuff that’s going to shift the paradigm of how you think about brain health and optimization.
