Ben Azadi
About this episode

Today, I am blessed to have Alex Wolfe here with me. Alex Wolfe is a bio-hacking enthusiast, a disciple of plant medicine, and a believer that nature contains everything we need for a healthy, beautiful, and meaningful life. His life’s goal is to bring this insight to the world at large. Wolfe often speaks at conferences, such as Wonderland Miami, surrounding biohacking, working on protocols of integration, and advocating the benefits of microdosing psychedelics for mental health. Most recently, Wolfe founded Eons, the newest biohacking brand, bringing high-quality mushrooms into the wellness space in order to improve every aspect of the circadian rhythm.

In this episode, Alex discusses the crucial connection between gut health and overall well-being, emphasizing the significance of understanding the gut-brain axis. He shares his personal journey of experiencing mental health challenges despite a seemingly perfect life until a naturopathic doctor advised him to focus on healing his gut. Through research and experimentation with functional mushrooms, Alex found profound improvements in his mental health, sleep, and cognitive function. He dives into the benefits of specific mushrooms like Lion's Mane and Reishi, highlighting their roles in promoting mental clarity and relaxation. Alex also touches upon the therapeutic potential of lucid dreaming and shares anecdotes about the powerful immune-boosting properties of mushrooms like Turkey Tail.

Tune in as Alex also shares personal anecdotes about overcoming fears, such as his fear of heights, and how these experiences shaped his perspective on life and personal growth. Throughout the conversation, Alex underscores the transformative potential of psychedelics in promoting mental well-being and personal development while stressing the need for caution and responsibility in their use.
