Do You Know When Your Wife Passed?

The talented Mr. Noots, or as the powers that be know him, Mark Effinger, is the brilliant mind behind Nootopia formulas, a batch of life changing brain optimization products you’ve heard me talk about frequently on this show ever since I was gifted a sample set by our mutual friend and collaborator, Matt Gallant.

Of course, I got to experimenting with them right away, probably too much as you'll learn in this episode. They've become an integral part of my daily routine – just such a game changer – and I've seen a few products in my days of experimentation.

Mr. Noots brings the energy in this one, and the mind blowing science, in this fun and free-wheeling episode – starting with a tragedy that’s inspired triumph, into a sidebar where we celebrate the heritage of rock n’ roll, and sticking the landing with a mushroom trip tennis tournament. Buckle up for a wild ride.

And if, by the end of this episode, you’re curious to check out the amazing Nootopia formulas that we cover, visit nootopia.com/lukegenius and use code 'LUKE10' for 10% off your purchase.

THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

MAGNESIUM BREAKTHROUGH. According to the American Psychological Association, chronic stress is linked to the six leading causes of death. When most people think of stress, they think of their job, traffic, tense relationships, current events, things like that. But the root of so much of the stress we experience comes down to a deficiency in one overlooked nutrient — magnesium. So, if you're ready to help your body deal with stress, instead of putting a band-aid on it after the fact, you’re going to want some Magnesium Breakthrough.

CACAO BLISS. Back in the day, I used to have to take about 50 ingredients to make an elixir or a smoothie. I had to mix them together, make a big mess, and it took up a bunch of space in the cabinet.

Now I have amazing ceremony-grade organic ingredients like raw cacao, turmeric, black pepper, MCT powder, cinnamon, monk fruit, coconut nectar, lucuma, mesquite, and Himalayan Salt all in one.
