Nootropics, Becoming Limitless, and Customized Smart Drugs with Mark Effinger
The body has all the tools it needs to induce improved performance. What if there was a way we can signal our bodies to kickstart these processes, unlock your brain’s potential, and live a life that is “Limitless”?
In this episode, we brush up on Nootropics and their outstanding effects on the body, allowing individuals to optimize neurology and physiology through nutritional enhancement.
We get into the subject with Mark “Mr. Noots" Effinger himself, scientist and co-founder of Nootopia, as he relays the benefits of nootropics, his motivations for starting the company, the early and final stages of the product and its experience, as well as a little bit about his fascinating life and history.
One thing that is entirely riveting about Nootopia is their dedication to deep customization–people can get the product tailored to their physiology, preferences, lifestyle, diet, meds, activities, and more, and finetune it long after to improve customization overtime!

Brain on Fire, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and Reversing Disease with Dr. Gary Kaplan
Dr. Gary Kaplan is the founder and medical director of the Kaplan Center for Integrative Medicine. He has authored two books, is a leading figure and pathfinder in the field of integrative medicine and is one of 19 physicians in the country to be board-certified in both Family Medicine and Pain Medicine.
He specializes in what he calls “the brain on fire”—the inflammation of the nervous system that can be an effect of some illnesses. These inflammations cause symptoms of pains and disorders, both physiological and psychological, that then get regularly misdiagnosed because of tests not looking at the bigger picture.
You’re in for a fantastic episode as Dr. Kaplan shares his insights on prioritizing a complete understanding of the mind and body to promote holistic healing. Tune in!
