Biohack Review: The swiss army knife of Mitochondrial support supplements

Creatine was one of the first supplements I used out of the behemothic box I received from PureBulk.com because it's the swiss army knife of Mitochondrial support supplements. I use it as both a Nootropic and workout performance enhancer which I'll describe here along with summarizing the most recent science and research done on Creatine.

It's Christmas - the winter solstice.

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. The winter solstice holiday was a much-needed, heartening, reminder that they were half-way through the cold, dark winter.

In the 2011 movie Limitless, the main character takes a clear pill, NZT-48, that endows superhuman mental abilities allowing him to become a master communicator, seducer, and a wealthy, powerful businessman virtually overnight.

A Quick Story...

When I first saw the movie Limitless over a decade ago, I was in a bad place...

• I was broke, living on my brother's uncomfortable couch.
• I had just been through a very rough business partnership breakup, an experience not unlike getting divorced.
• My dating and social life had gone from rockstar to zero overnight.
• My nights and weekends were spent watching TV on the same couch I slept on every night.
• Living in a very lame suburb, I was miles from a suitable workout location. I got lazy and stopped exercising.
• Additionally, I had some legal problems with my driver's license - NOT from drinking and driving - but I had lost my driver's license due to some unpaid fines from years ago and driving under revocation. I never went to jail but I had to spend a ton of time going to court and most of my disposable income dealing with the legal system.

When I saw the movie, I knew that some real-life equivalent of NZT-48 had to exist and I needed to find it! Check out these photo galleries of my life in the ensuing decade and judge for yourself whether I found it...

I deliver a dose of skepticism and bio-inspiration answering the December Biohacking and lifehacking questions in this Q&A podcast.

Listen to this podcast on the go (perhaps while training for your space defense force entrance exams) with the Castbox app.

2022 Update: Laziness is a symptom of a fundamental lack of willpower. Willpower isn't a very sexy subject (although I tried to make it one...) but willpower is the ultimate lifehack because if you have willpower you get to have anything else you desire.

• If you don't have willpower, you probably don't realize how important it is to your happiness.
• If you don't have willpower, you won't practice the hard habits you need to practice to acquire more willpower.
• If you don't have willpower, you'll continually fail to meet your goals and you'll live a life of quiet desperation.
• If you don't have willpower, you can't get it by reading self-help books or listening to inspiring podcasts. Sorry!

Smart drugs give you willpower. Fast. 30-60 minutes after consumption the Nootropic agents will cross your blood-brain barrier boosting the neurotransmitters serotonin, dopamine, and acetylcholine which will noticeably improve your self-control for 4-6 hours.
After trying over 200 different smart drugs, I found one that I call the Discipline Molecule; more than any other Nootropic I've tried, I just do 100% of what I know I should be doing when I'm on this drug. Click here to get a detailed report on this smart drug and some infotaining videos analyzing what human studies are saying about the Discipline Molecule.

I think that the human capacity for invention, creativity, collaboration, and generosity multiplied by the steep growth curves in technology have a real chance in the next 50 years of eradicating poverty, war, hunger, disease, environmental issues, lack of education, even aging, and death.

There's also a good chance that 50 years from now, we will have all the same problems multiplied by another two billion humans. The greatest variable in this is laziness and indifference. As much as human beings are creative and inventive we have a boundless capacity for laziness and indifference. If we can overcome these flaws in our psychology 50 years from now we will see these demons vanquished from the world.
