Jeff Boyd | More Than Energy: The "Multitasking" Myth + How Nootropic Paraxanthine Makes You Superhuman
Wellness + Wisdom Podcast
Energizing Wellness: Beyond Caffeine
This chapter explores the significance of foundational energy for both children and adults, advocating for a holistic approach to enhancing mental and physical performance. It emphasizes the benefits of nootropics, especially paroxanthine, in improving cognitive functions while promoting overall well-being without relying on quick fixes like caffeine.
What if the secret to limitless energy and a purposeful life lies in the right supplements?
Jeff Boyd, Founder of MTE, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 708, to reveal the secrets to building lasting habits, how to unlock limitless energy with natural solutions, why nootropics are a healthier and more sustainable source of energy compared to caffeine, and how to live a life of purpose while breaking free from the traps of modern life.
"Saffron is 21 times more expensive than any other ingredient in the MTE formula. If it weren't that expensive, it would be the #1 supplement in the country, if not the world. It's decreasing anger, confusion, depression, increasing vigor, and then improves your sleep." - Jeff Boyd

Power Quotes From The Show Caffeine Energy"Not all nootropics are created equal. Caffeine is a nootropic by definition. Particularly what caffeine and energy drinks are missing is they're just giving you energy, but you have no ability to use it properly. They keep you awake but you're miserable." - Jeff Boyd
Why Multitasking Is a Myth"Multitasking is a term that was made for computers. Humans cannot multitask. We can shift from one task to another in a nanosecond so it seems like we can multitask, but we are hardwired. We can only do one thing at a time." - Jeff Boyd
Paraxanthine Gives You More Than Energy"Paraxanthine gives you smooth energy. It's increasing short-term memory, cognition under physical stress, and the ability to pay attention. That's more than energy. That's being able to have energy to then go deploy it, use it, and be your best self. What's the point otherwise?" - Jeff Boyd
