Ep. 188: Nootropics and Adaptogens, Anyone?

You know, we used to drink because the things we were drinking tasted good. Now we drink because the things we’re drinking will boost our brains and help us adapt to stress and make us live longer and make us hotter and taller and faster and stronger and… you get the idea. We’ve begun to optimize our adult beverages, and it’s getting confusing!

Do not fear: The Four Top is here this week with definitions for bro-science terms like ✨adaptogens✨ and ✨nootropics✨. Tune into Ep. 188 to find out which weird mushroom or chemical is going to make you see into the future. Actually, we are still not sure how to do that.
