Hey, what's up? It's Ben Greenfield. If my audio sounds a little funny today, it's because for some reason my stereo mixer kicked the can.

I arrived home after a long trip to find it literally dead. Just beat the pieces wouldn't turn on.

I suspect it's probably because my children were attempting to record something inside of my home recording studio.

That's likely the case. But either way, I'm still going to get this message out to you before we hop into

a really mind-blowing podcast with this Dr. Andrew Huberman. The guy's working on curing blindness.

It knows a host of details about Alzheimer's, dementia, smart drugs, and neutropics.

Fascinating gentleman who I had the pleasure to speak with today. The show notes as well are going to be

fascinating for you. I'm going to leave you with Bated Breath, but I'll give you the URL for their show notes

during today's episode. Something I tried last night that I found to be quite interesting.

It was a charcoal and chaga lemonade. A charcoal and chaga lemonade. So charcoal is of course known as

something you might take if you get food poisoning. But it's also a popular ingredient that you'd buy it.

You know, any of these juice bars, you know, these new fangled fancy juice bars will often have this

black beverage and that's charcoal. A lot of times you'll see it blended with lemon to enhance the

effects of the charcoal with the additional vitamin C. And then in this case, the chaga that I

mentioned is of course amazing for the immune function and gut well-being. And it's also extremely

rich in antioxidants. Now, they market these drinks as like hangover drinks, as detox remedies,

etc. But the fact is you could hop on your bicycle or get in your car and go hunt down a juice bar

and pay $16 for this tiny little four ounce bottle of juice. It's disturbingly small. Or you can

make this stuff yourself at home, which is what I did last night. Four-sigmatic mushrooms, one of my

favorite companies in the world. They've come out with this brand new charcoal lemon chaga detoxification

drink that you can just have whenever, whether you're hungover, you want a daily detox. It's made by

four-sigmatic along with all their fantastic mushroom blends and you can get a big fat 15% discount
