In this week’s episode we are going to be exploring a rather esoteric topic in the domain of performance enhancement and that is the world of smart drugs.
Now if you’ve seen the movie Limitless then you probably know what i’m talking about.
But if this is your first time hearing or learning about this topic then I think this will serve as a very good introduction and primer to smart drugs.
The big takeaway I’d like you to walk with away from our conversation is that there are no quick fixes or biological shortcuts.
In this episode you’ll hear Mansal and I discuss our experiences with nootropics/smart drugs but I think one of most important perspectives you can take is to recognize that smart drugs are at the top of the performance pyramid.
Focus on the fundamentals first, that is nutrition, exercise, rest and recovery, and lifestyle.
If you have all of those dialled in then applying smart drugs prescriptively can tweak your edges even further.
The other big takeaway is the Braverman assessment that Mansal and I discuss near the end of the show.
The Braverman assessment is a unique questionnaire which helps you determine your potential neurotransmitter biases and deficiencies (link in the show notes), and I highly recommend using the assessment as a targeted approach to begin your foray into the world of smart drugs.
