  • Mr. Happy | The Next Generation - Part 2

    Tune into the second half of our fascinating conversation with Joshua, A.K.A. Mr. Happy from the famous Mr. Happy Stack. We discuss more insight on how the microbiome, immune system, hormones and neurotransmitters are connected. These systems rely on us to exercise, to eat well, and to be able to recover. However, our lifestyle, food supply, and other factors can make it difficult to maintain a healthy baseline. And further, how do supplements play a part in all of this?

    Part 2 of the podcast is an activating deep-dive that motivates us to take our health seriously, and better understand the main factors that allow us to live long, healthy and happy lives. These are the immune system, the microbiome, the hormone biosynthesis system, and our diets.

  • CistaMAX | The Road To The Perfect CistancheThis month on the In Search of Insight podcast, Emiel and Erika share the inspiration behind Nootropics Depot’s new CistaMAX stack! We combined non-extracted Cistanche, a high-potency Cistanche extract, and a Supercritical Cistanche extract with Shilajit, Pregnenolone and DHEA to create CistaMAX. This combination produces a noticeable stimulating and motivating effect, and boosts the muscle-building properties of Cistanche. In this podcast, you’ll learn why we chose each ingredient in CistaMAX and what purpose it serves in the stack as a whole. You’ll also learn about the neuroscience behind the focus and mood enhancing effect of Cistanche. There’s lots of reasons why we include CistaMAX in our daily stack - it can increase feelings of hunger, which is essential when bulking and building muscle. It also gives us a noticeable energy boost that makes us want to move more. CistaMAX is a great choice for supporting fitness, motivation, and hormonal balance.

  • Tribugen | How We Took Tribulus To The Next LevelThis month, Emiel and Erika discuss the benefits of Tribulus Terrestris for energy, motivation, focus, and hormonal health. Making an effective stack takes more than just scientific research - this podcast episode focuses on the human element of stack creation, and why we spent so much time refining Tribugen until we got the effects profile just right.On this month’s podcast, learn more about:Tribulus Terrestris, Fenugreek, Dioscorea nipponica, and CordycepsMonoamine oxidase A and B inhibitorsMegadosing TribugenHow Nootropics Depot creates synergistic stacksEach ingredient in Tribugen was selected to compliment the stimulating and motivating effects of Tribulus, and in this episode Emiel discusses the mechanisms of action that are responsible for these effects. Before Tribugen made it’s debut, the team at Nootropics Depot tried a variety of Tribulus Terrestris extracts to find the most motivating but smooth extract that would shine as a stand-alone product. When making Tribugen, we wanted to increase the motivation benefits of Tribulus, but to smooth out the stimulation and edginess of Tribulus when taken on its own. After a year of bioassaying Tribugen, adjusting the dosages of the synergistic ingredients, and sharing the pre-released stack with friends, family and colleagues, we arrived at the finished product. If you are interested in learning more about this process, and the ingredients that make up the Tribugen stack, tune into this podcast episode!

  • Your Body’s Amazing Immune System | Is It Better To Take A Natural Approach When You Get Sick?

    Our immune system is our body’s defense against sickness and infection. In this month’s podcast episode, Emiel and Erika discuss inflammation, oxidation, immune supporting supplements, fermented foods, and gut health, and explore ways to stay healthy all year round.Tune into the new podcast episode to learn more about:How inflammation and oxidation are tools that the immune system uses to attack pathogens and help us recover from illnessWhy fermented foods and carbohydrates are essential for a healthy immune systemVitamins, minerals, and supplements that support a healthy immune systemThe connection between the gut and the immune systemWhy symptom management during illness can work against us, and what to do insteadThis episode is focused on why inflammation and oxidation are essential for helping us fight off pathogens, and therefore, why taking a natural approach when getting sick may help us recover faster. Sometimes, it can be advantageous to lean into the inflammation and oxidation caused by our immune system, though this can be uncomfortable. Dampening inflammation and oxidation can prolong illness, and work against our immune system’s natural response to pathogens.Follow In Search of Insight on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/insearchofinsight?igsh=ZGNjOWZkYTE3MQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qrBuy Immune Supporting Supplements from Nootropics DepotInfini Chttps://nootropicsdepot.com/infini-c-capsules/Vitamin Dhttps://nootropicsdepot.com/vitamin-d3-k2-with-vitamin-c-tablets/https://nootropicsdepot.com/vitamin-d3-k2-c-supplement/Vitamin Bhttps://nootropicsdepot.com/infini-b-capsules/Zinchttps://nootropicsdepot.com/microzinc-capsules-zinc-supplement/N-Acetyl Cysteinehttps://nootropicsdepot.com/n-acetyl-l-cysteine-500mg-capsules/Micromag https://nootropicsdepot.com/micromag-capsules-optimized-magnesium/Andrographis paniculatahttps://nootropicsdepot.com/andrographis-paniculata-capsules-50-andrographolides/Reduced Glutathionehttps://nootropicsdepot.com/reduced-glutathione-tablets/Recommended Podcasts on the Immune SystemUsing Your Nervous System to Enhance Your Immune System - Huberman Labs Podcasthttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poOf8b2WE2g&t=3604sThe Ultimate Cold Prevention Protocol: Strengthening The Immune System with Chris Masterjohnhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygeJSE2Xz4w&t=3510sPodcast Chapters00:00 Introduction - Immune System01:15 How Does Our Environment Affect Our Immune System?05:30 Inflammation and Oxidation are Tools of the Immune System06:45 Taking GABA for Immune Function17:20 The Impact of Gut Health on the Immune System - Why Kombucha?18:50 How Lindsay Lohan Ruined The Kombucha Industry23:40 Stomach Acid is the First Line of Defence Against Viruses and Bacteria26:44 How Fermentation and Food Preservation Supports Our Immune Function30:44 Sauerkraut - Low PH Means Bad Bacteria Die, Good Bacteria Live36:25 Short Chain Fatty Acids - Fibers, prebiotics, and biotics42:45 How the Immune System Functions Beyond Our Gut46:05 We Have Microbiomes Everywhere47:55 Innate vs. Adaptive Immune System57:30 How Genetics Factor Into Our Immune System Response1:00:00 Leaning Into the Immune Response1:09:43 Why Do We Get Fevers When We Get Sick?1:30:16 Sickness Behavior1:34:34 How To Boost Immune System When You’re Not Sick1:54:00 Behavior, Micronutrients, and Mushrooms2:14:00 How to Take Supplements When Getting Sick2:18:47 Supplements to Support Your Immune System2:33:39 GABA for the Gut, Mood, and Immune System2:36:14 Conclusion
