I interviewed Professor David Williams - a Biohacker, chemist, writer, Gulf War veteran, and director of a research chemical company.

SORRY about the intermittent audio imperfections in this one - It's a truly edifying conversation worth listening to anyway! Listen to this podcast on the go (or in the gym - make the Brofessor proud!) [here with Castbox](https://castbox.fm/x/1hyQv).

In this wide-ranging and illuminating conversation, we discuss...

## **Q&A** Questions

**Johan**

> *shouldnt we all take a sip of methylene blue every morning?*

**Matt**

> *Yes!!!!! I'm really interested in neurogenesis drugs such as dihexa, 9-Me-Bc, NSI,ect... how much of a danger are these types of drugs? When taking these types of drugs you increase BDNF and NGF, but I'm under the impression too much can cause cancer. Where does the balance lie? How can you take these drugs and be safe and binifit from them?*

**Kriz**

> *How to choose the best choline source and can you use Alpha Gpc and citicholine together*
> *Best sources for Alpha Gpc and citicholine?*

**Francisco**

> *I combine alpha gpc and cdp choline into a blend I sell on site called choline complex. Unfortunately customs seized my last shipment of the two so it's sold out. Questions to ask chemist....Are you for hire?*
