If you are into biohacking, a follower of Tim Ferris or work in Silicon Valley, you may have heard of Ayahuasca. If not, you may be asking what the heck it is. A long time follower of Tim Ferris and an avid biohacker, I became interested in Ayahuasca years ago as a potential treatment for someone I knew that was suffering from anxiety and PTSD. It wasn’t until recently that I started seriously researching it as a potential treatment for me. So, what is it? Ayahuasca is a type of plant medicine used in traditional ceremonies among the indigenous tribes of the Amazon region.  It is an enthe ..read more

I knew I was healing when I stopped hating weekends. I was the only person I knew that hated weekends. I hated that my spouse was home with nothing to occupy his time except me. I was supposed to entertain and if I didn’t do a good enough job there would be consequences. I dreaded that and as a result, I hated weekends. Being in a verbally and emotionally abusive relationship had left me with some side effects, and none of them positive. Living in constant fear of another person left me jumpy at home but also afraid to leave the house (more consequences). Although I starting forcing myself out ..read more

If you are experiencing memory loss, low energy, irritability, weight gain and loss of cognitive function, you could have a medical condition. Or, you could just need more sleep. In our society we wear our sleep deprivation like a badge. Its proof that we have it all – we work harder than anyone we know, we party hard into the wee hours of the night because of our busy social life…we have made it, and we have the bags under our eyes to prove it.  We also have excess weight,  a short temper, and an in ability to make good decisions, along with several other not so nice side effec ..read more

We all know that stress wreaks havoc on the body, but did you know that there are other ways to deal with stress than pummeling a punching bag or screaming into a pillow? Biohackers do, and they employ these alternative techniques to help them handle the every day stressors, which makes them better equipped to handle it when major stressors occur. MCT oil is pretty much the answer to life, as far as I am concerned. When it comes to battling stress, the two major benefits are energy and cognitive function. Stress wreaks havoc on your brain. When you are stressed, your brain produces hormones ca ..read more

Do you ever find yourself in a room with no idea why you were there? Waking up sluggish? Drinking a third cup of coffee and still not feeling like the brain has turned on? That has been me the last few weeks. I have been experiencing some serious brain fog and even though I am certain it is because I am juggling multiple things right now, I need to take control. If you are not familiar with the term brain fog, it is loss of focus, inability to concentrate, lack of mental clarity and memory issues. It’s that feeling you have when your brain is “tired” but not at a time that it should be. S ..read more

I am exhausted today and cannot think straight. I wanted to write a post about good supplements vs. bad ones, but I can’t seem to organize my thoughts. Why am I telling you this? Because sleep is important, and if you are burning the candle at both ends, you are shortchanging yourself! It is very common for entrepreneurs to be sleep deprived. We work in the business during work hours doing the work itself, and at night, we work on the business. However, it is important to remember to take care of yourself because you are not at your best during the day when you are sleep deprived. You can’t th ..read more

I am experimenting with the Biotrust product IC-5 to see what affect it has on my battle with insulin resistance.  I am combining this with the keto diet and intermittent fasting. What is IC-5? It is a blend of chromium, berberine, cinnamon bark extract, naringin and biofotiamine specifically designed to support a healthy metabolism and control blood sugar.
