This Is Your Brain on Nootropics: Supercharged Focus, Creativity & Energy w/ Mr. Noots #426

The talented Mr. Noots, or as the powers that be know him, Mark Effinger, is the brilliant mind behind Nootopia formulas, a batch of life changing brain optimization products you’ve heard me talk about frequently on this show ever since I was gifted a sample set by our mutual friend and collaborator, Matt Gallant. Of course, I got to experimenting with them right away, probably too much as you'll learn in this episode. They've become an integral part of my daily routine – just such a game changer – and I've seen a few products in my days of experimentation. Mr. Noots brings the energy in this one, and the mind blowing science, in this fun and free-wheeling episode – starting with a tragedy that’s inspired triumph, into a sidebar where we celebrate the heritage of rock n’ roll, and sticking the landing with a mushroom trip tennis tournament. Buckle up for a wild ride.
