Decoding Superhuman Flow for the Masses with Siim Land
Empowerment means giving permission and gaining the knowledge and improving yourself to become the greatest version of yourself...if you combine all those things together, then it is this nonstop personal development and self growth in a nutshell.
Who is Siim Land?Siim Land is an Estonian author, high performance coach, biohacker and a student of life. He has a bachelor's in socio-cultural anthropology, he has a blog, a YouTube channel, and a podcast about human optimization and wellness called Body Mind Empowerment.
What is Flow?Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi coined the term flow and published the work, "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience"
Defined by Csikszentmihalyi, Flow is:
“A state in which people are so involved in an activity that nothing else seems to matter; the experience is so enjoyable that people will continue to do it even at great cost, for the sheer sake of doing it.”
What Roles Do Ketosis and Fasting Play in Flow?Siim Land uses a ketogenic diet and different types of fasting to enhance focus. For Siim, he functions better in ketosis. The combination of a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting reduces Siim's decision fatigue and enables him to get more done without being influenced by hunger or excessive food choice.

As we cover topics like ketosis and fasting in this episode, you'll come to find that Siim and I both look forward to doing these types of things to our bodies in an effort to increase cognition, to increase focus. Well another tool that I have in my little tool box over here for increasing cognition is Qualia. Both Qualia and Qualia Mind have significantly upgraded my sovereignty. I encourage you to go check out the podcast with Jordan Hall if you want to really understand more about what that means. But Qualia in particular has become a staple in my supplement and nootropic stacks and when I have a "get shit done" day, Qualia is definitely by my side. Now if you want to try out either Qualia or Qualia Mind, how could you do this? Well, head over to neurohacker.com, use the coupon code BOOMER and you'll get 10% off your purchase. If you're interested in a subscription, which I have an annual subscription to this one, you can get 15% off of subscriptions.
