Episode notes

Modafinil can increase histamine in the brain, which may cause allergic reactions in some individuals. However, long-term use has not shown any major harm. It is known to increase blood flow in the brain, aiding in cognitive enhancement. For individuals with brain damage impacting blood flow, Modafinil can help improve brain function, as seen in cases where individuals experienced brain damage from toxic mold exposure.

In this episode, Dave and Peter discuss the top 5 health hacks you need to implement in 2024, what nootropics you should know about, and the benefits of psychedelics.
