Brain Mapping: What Happens To Your Brain On A “Limitless” Pill…

I got my brain mapped 🧠 Then took a nootropic and did it again a day later, and the results blew me away. It’s one thing to feel more mentally and cognitively sharp, but it’s a whole new story to have data showing the difference in brain activity. By the way, brain mapping can be a really neat tool for you to quantify how your brain may be getting in the way of your peak performance, whether it’s sleep issues, depression, ADHD, anxiety, some form of addiction or even PTSD. I recently visited Peak Brain Institute in LA for an interesting biohacking experiment — I wanted to know how a nootropic, “a limitless pill”, changed my baseline brain activity. Not only did I learn about both the ups and downs, but what’s even cooler, now I finally have quantified evidence how quickly, way above average, my brain processes information. All those brain hacks must be working 🧠 🤓 I’m super grateful for Dr. Andrew Hill, functional neuroscientist coach and founder of Peak Brain Institute, for taking the time to go over my brain and teach me how to make sense of it all. Thank you! The nootropic I tested was the Blue Cannatine from Troscriptions
