This Legal Focus Powder Beats Any Dopamine Detox : 1352
The Human Upgrade: Biohacking for Longevity & PerformanceAbout this episode
Dopamine isn’t the enemy—low brain energy is. When your mitochondria can’t make enough ATP, your neurons misfire, leading to fatigue, brain fog, and lack of focus. In this video, I explain why dopamine problems are really energy problems, how mitochondrial health drives motivation and clarity, and why creatine is one of the most effective and affordable nootropics for restoring mental performance. Learn the biohacks that protect your brain’s power plants and keep you sharp all day long.
