23: Brain Fog Busters - Part 5: Mystery Compounds

In this episode, I'll be telling you about some new emerging information about a little known group of compounds that hands down will probably be the future of medicine, easily making brain fog a thing of the past.

Tune in and keep an open mind because a lot of this stuff is new, but I'm cautious to be an early adopter as I adopt them personally before I test them out on clients. For the past year, I have been using it on myself (and a few close medical practioner friends) in an experimentation mode. I really believe these compounds will help people feel better and have a better quality of life outside of just simply doing diet modification, lifestyle modification, and hormone replacement therapy, but I want to make sure I have some personal experience with them since the data available for other studies is somewhat limited.

Key Points Discussed:

The Lego blocks similarity (01:45)
The natural emerging treatment compounds (04:16)
The plaques that form in the brain (10:07)
Getting people off addiction to anxiety medication using a peptide (13:54)
The nasal spray that enhances cognitive function and improves energy (17:07)
The power of proper sleep, diet and hydration (21:45)
A proven eight fold improvement in work capacity (25:23)
