2021 Update: When I got into self-experimentation with smart drugs ten years ago I had hoped that the industry was on the cusp of growing up, that the fly-by-night supplement marketers would be put out of business by consumers choosing Nootropics with rationality and science.
Instead, today scammy Internet Marketing products abound and weird research compounds lacking human studies will hit the market to be voraciously consumed by pharmaceutical thrill-seekers. I’m more concerned than ever about a major ethics crisis giving the Biohacking industry a bad name.
After personally trying over 100 different Nootropics I’m convinced of two things:
1) Enhancing your cognition requires self-quantification; I’ve created a 5-part DIY experiment for determining the impact of smart drugs on Working Memory, Reaction Times, IQ, Verbal Intelligence, Stress Response, and Mindfulness — Download it here. …

I don’t give a damn about happiness, but I’m not kidding when I say that overall 2020 was a very happy year for me. I’ll explain here…
But first I extend sympathy to all the people for whom it was an AWFUL year; depression, anxiety, and loneliness were off the charts in 2020 for many, I’m sorry if you were among them.
You’re probably hoping that 2021 will be a better year, a lot of people are. And — let’s be realists — if we’re talking about the macro — about society — this is an unfounded and naive hope. We can anticipate all the trends that made 2020 so turbulent accelerating in 2021. Society is not magically going to get smarter and more decent in 2021. …

What you find on this website is NOT medical advice. I’m not a doctor. I’m just an experienced unlicensed self-experimenter practicing free speech in talking about my own extensive experiences and my interpretations of published science. Please see my guide on How to Biohack Smart and Safe. …

“NAD will turn out to be one of the greatest advances in medical science since Fleming invented penicillin.”
Proclaimed Dr. Philip Milgram of the NAD Treatment Center in San Diego, California.
This article is mostly going to focus on decoding what the human studies are saying about Nicotinamide Mononucleotide and how this squares up with the anecdotal experiences of Biohackers online. For more of my own personal experiences, thoughts, and comparisons please see the written and video reviews in the sidebar.
There are over a hundred scientific papers about NMN and 34 items of human research with an active interest in the compound by anti-aging researchers. If you’re clever with Pubmed you might note that currently there are no completed NMN clinical trials, there are, however, 25 NAD+ clinical trials which is what NMN metabolizes into so we’ll be considering the human data coming out of these trials. Currently, there’s at least one NMN human trial going on in Japan, when it’s published in 2019 or 2020 we’ll have a wealth of clinical data by which to further evaluate NMN. …
Remarkably, this hasn’t existed up until now. Since I can remember, there has been a burgeoning interest among libertarian-minded folks in doing commerce in gold. Gold always made a lot of sense to me.
We all know, thanks to Gatorade’s marketing, that Electrolytes are important. Here we’ll break down the state of the art Electrolytes bioscience and why sugary “sports drinks” are not the best way to supplement them.
They have been studied worldwide, on Pubmed you can find nearly 450 human clinical trials on the common Electrolytes which are recognized as crucial to ketogenic diet and lifestyle, there are over 60 published scientific papers looking at the connection, which we’ll also summarize here.
A holiday that pre-dates Christianity celebrated in Europe for thousands of years to mark the halfway point of the winter season. In modernity, winter is merely an inconvenience, thanks to our well-insulated homes and central heating, but for thousands of years, winter was a different animal. A deadly animal. The cold was an ever-present existential threat. Food was scarce. A winter injury or illness could be a death sentence. And winter was boring, there wasn’t much farming or labor that could be done. It was a lot of downtime isolated with one’s thoughts, hopes, anxieties, and regrets. …
