My guest this week is Mark “Mr. Noots” Effinger from Nootopia.

In this episode, Mark and I discuss nootropics! Do you want to level up and hack your brain power? How does bio-individuality affect which nootropics to take? Can nootropics help with addiction? Are there contraindications with SSRIs and other medications? What can nootropics help with and how do you use Nootopia’s customized stacks? Oh, those are all great loaded questions we discuss! Mark has had quite the life that has led to this wild Nootopia ride that he shares about resolving his personal mental health struggles and optimizing his performance cognitively and physically. His familial health struggles have also fueled the evolution of Nootopia’s mission to support better brain function (#NoBadDays). A must listen if you are interested in cutting edge nootropics formulas or curious how to improve cognitive function!
