Скачать или смотреть Nootropics, Dopamine & Self-Optimization, with Adam Greenfeld, Co-Founder at Thesis Nootropics

In this episode of The Augmented Life, Michael Tiffany sits down with Adam Greenfeld, Co-Founder at Thesis Nootropics.






They unpack the science and strategy behind brain enhancement, from the early Reddit-fueled experiments that shaped Thesis, to the surprising audiences using nootropics today.






Adam opens up about dopamine burnout, self-experimentation, how he evaluates if a stack is working, and why optimizing for "life experience" now beats waiting for a big exit.






Whether you're deep into biohacking or just curious how to improve task switching and mental clarity, this conversation blends rigorous science, personal reflection, and practical strategies you can use today.
