Summary
Mercado Sagrado is one of my favorite events in the world. Every year, people trek to the mountains of Malibu to learn more about a more connected, conscious way of living. I’ve gone the past few years to run the Biohacking Lounge and host a session, and in 2019, I gave a talk titled, “The Flow State Formula: Neurohacking Mindfulness.”
In this immersive lecture, I will guide you through a lesson in achieving a rapid elevation of creativity, cosmic consciousness, and flow state brain entrainment. Using modalities ranging from ancient breath work, meditation, and movement practices to the most cutting-edge nootropic, herbal, smart drug, and psychedelic microdosing supplementation, you will learn how to stack the application of the most effective internal transformative tools with the latest external brain training biohacking technologies to radically and permanently upgrade your consciousness and performance.
I give a lot of juicy and very specific details in this episode, so I’ve assembled all of these resources in one convenient place for you! You can download the slide deck I used for this presentation by going to lukestorey.com/limitless or texting IAMLIMITLESS to 44222 on a US phone.
09:23 — Roots of brain fog
- Parasites
- Heavy metals
- Inflammation
- Leaky gut
- Poor sleep habits
11:15 — Sleep Tools
14:30 — Meditation
- Nothing clears your mind after a good night’s sleep better than a solid meditation practice
15:41 — Float Tanks
- The experience is akin to a forced meditation
- How the AIDS crisis killed float tanks — and why that absolutely isn’t a fear founded in reality
- Just Float in Pasadena
- Float Lab in Westwood and Venice
19:00 — Breathwork
- Breathwork is a daily practice for me
- There are practices from a variety of modalities, and they’re all useful
- Similar to float tanks, breathwork can allow you to access consciousness and have mind-altering experiences stone-cold sober
- Holotropic breathing
- The effects of breathwork, generally
20:57 — Kundalini Yoga
- I’ve been practicing Kundalini for close to a decade, and I love it because it’s accessible to everyone who can sit in one place, breathe, and chant
- The vibe of Kundalini can, understandable, be off-putting to some people
- But there is a reason for all of the white and the turbans!
22:42 — Cryo / Ice baths
- If you live somewhere cold, you can just go outside when it’s below freezing
- I like cryo, but I LOVE ice baths
- Why getting cold blasts your brain with happy chemicals
- Getting cold regularly will elevate your life and your mood
- Even just a cold shower in the morning can make a big difference
25:10 — Inversions, movement, and blood flow
- Anything that in your bloodstream and you want to get into your brain will get there faster if you’re upside down — so inversion is great for stacking biohacks!
26:00 — Neuroacoustics therapy
- Binaural beats use sound to induce certain brainwave states
- NuCalm (save $500 using the code “luke500” at NuCalm.com)
29:30 — Brainwave entrainment/frequency technology
- One of the best things about these brain entrainment technologies is that they can help you reprogram the subconscious mind
- The value of stacking brain entrainment tech with recorded meditations or lectures
- Crushing limiting beliefs
- Brain Tap
- Ampcoil
- Biocharger
29:48 — Cranial micro-stimulation
33:10 — Neurofeedback
- Peak Brain Institute
- Neurofeedback is also a form of brain entrainment
- You can think of neurofeedback as teaching your brain to teach itself
- It can help people with PTSD, ADD, and ADHD minimize or even get rid of the problem
34:27 — Molecular Hydrogen
- Inflammation in the brain is one of the things that can prevent us from activating a flow state, but hydrogen is one of the best ways to reduce inflammation in your brain
- Vital Reaction™ 7% Inhaler
- Vital Reaction Molecular Hydrogen H2 Tablets
35:00 — Sungazing and Vitamin D
- Note that, whenever I’m talking about getting more sun, you should always and only do it in a way that’s safe for your eyes and skin
- Many of the hormones that affect your mood are related to your Vitamin D levels
- Sungazing and dawn and sunset allows you to take in a much more narrow spectrum of infrared light
- Nothing jacks up your dopamine like sungazing
- QuickSilver Scientific Premium Supplements
- Everybody Loves The Sunshine by Living Libations
36:34 — Magnesium
- Magnesium is the only supplement I always recommend
- Electrolyte Balance by PristineHydro
- MagTech Magnesium Complex
37:35 — Nootropics & Smart Drugs
- What are nootropics?
- Qualia
- Paracetam/Aniracetam
- Modafinil
- Methylene Blue Nicotine (Blue Cannatine)
41:30 — Microdosing & Lion’s Mane
- I’m not talking about tripping and partying
- This is not the path for everyone, especially people currently taking psych meds
- Interested in microdosing? Hit up my DMs on Instagram
45:40 — Listener Q&A
- What is Luke working on right now?
- Who does Luke follow?
- How does Luke know what works? Do you have a process for figuring out what’s actually working?
- Are there physiological advantages to cyclical ketosis?
- What is Luke’s take on intermittent fasting?

| 0:35.0 | This episode is brought to you by Four Sigmaic. I love this company and what I love most about them is their instant coffee because 64% of us Americans drink coffee daily, but 100 percent of us should be drinking |
| 0:55.0 | the four-sigmatic mushroom coffee because it's more than just coffee. It's got |
| 0:58.4 | lion's mane which you may know is really good for your brain. It's my favorite medicinal |
| 1:03.9 | mushroom. It helps with focus, productivity, and creativity. In fact, Buddhist monks |
| 1:09.7 | for a very long time have been using lion's man to help their focus during |
| 1:14.5 | meditation it also includes chaga the king of mushrooms but what is really |
| 1:18.4 | cool about it is it's 100% organic it's got no sugar no no carbs, no calories. It's vegan, |
| 1:24.4 | paleo, sugar-free, dairy-free, although mine's not dairy-free because I put |
| 1:27.8 | butter or gee in it. But the rad thing about it is that it has about half the caffeine of regular coffee, which is you know fine because you can just |
| 1:36.4 | put two packets of it in your coffee if you want to go all out, but the mushroom coffee is way |
| 1:41.6 | easier on my gut. |
| 1:42.8 | It doesn't have that like jittery crash thing going on |
| 1:46.5 | probably because it doesn't have any mold. |
| 1:48.8 | And it's really high quality coffee. |
