Mindsip insights from this episode:
Leverage AI to restore biological markers for optimal health
The future of medicine may involve AI that analyzes your health data to create plans aimed at restoring your biological markers to the optimal 21-to-30-year-old range.
Dissolve trochies in upper cheek for optimal absorption
For better and faster absorption, dissolve trochies (medicated lozenges) in the upper cheek and gum area, which is more effective than swallowing or placing them under the tongue.
Cycle cordycepin for optimal effectiveness
To maintain its effectiveness, it is best to cycle cordycepin by taking it for two to three weeks and then going off for a while, rather than using it continuously.
Utilize cordycepin as a natural anti-viral supplement during travel
Cordycepin can act as an anti-infective by inhibiting RNA synthesis in viruses, making it a useful supplement to take when traveling or exposed to illness.
Boost deep sleep with cordycepin in the evening
Taking cordycepin in the evening, as found in the product Troimmune, can significantly increase your deep sleep, an effect that is trackable on wearable devices.
Combine cordycepin with caffeine to boost energy
To counteract the sleepiness from cordycepin and direct its benefits toward energy production, you can take it with caffeine, which blocks the brain's adenosine receptors.
Utilize synthesized cordycepin for enhanced potency
The most active compound in the cordyceps mushroom is cordycepin, which only makes up about 0.03% of the mushroom by weight, so synthesized versions offer a much higher potency.
Implement obligate pairing for effective GABA support
A new supplement strategy called 'obligate pairing' combines ingredients that stimulate GABA receptors with those that replete GABA itself to avoid tolerance and dependence.
