How to biohack your intelligence
Ⓒ By Jonathan Roseland |
I'm not a doctor, medical professional, or trained therapist. I'm a researcher and pragmatic biohacking practitioner exercising free speech to share evidence as I find it. I make no claims. Please practice skepticism and rational critical thinking. You should consult a professional about any serious decisions that you might make about your health.

The Best Intelligence Hack
Serge's article does not mention the most clinically efficacious way to boost intelligence broadly: Dual N-back brain training.

Having tried over 200 different Nootropics and smart drugs (along with almost every weird and wacky personal growth thing you've heard of), take it from me: Dual N-Back training is the low-hanging-intelligence-hacking fruit.
