Anything that could get me stronger, faster, smarter, more creative, I’m into it.

Today I’m talking to my friend Matt Gallant, who is a poker champion, ex-rock guitarist, has a degree in kinesiology, and is the CEO of BiOptimizers. I really wanted to share with you some of Matt’s tricks for mind and body hacking.

I’ve gotten really into this kind of stuff, how to optimize your sleep, water technology, neuro-feedback, light, nootropics. I’m all about hacking the mind and body to access higher levels of creativity and productivity.

Matt mentions a lot of products that he uses, and we’ve linked all of those up in the notes below. And be sure to use the code NICK10 to buy something on Matt’s site BiOptimizers to receive 10% off!
