Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 708

What if the secret to limitless energy and a purposeful life lies in the right supplements?

More Than Energy: The "Multitasking" Myth + How Nootropic Paraxanthine Makes You Superhuman | Jeff BoydJeff Boyd, Founder of MTE, joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 708, to reveal the secrets to building lasting habits, how to unlock limitless energy with natural solutions, why nootropics are a healthier and more sustainable source of energy compared to caffeine, and how to live a life of purpose while breaking free from the traps of modern life.

“Saffron is 21 times more expensive than any other ingredient in the MTE formula. If it weren't that expensive, it would be the #1 supplement in the country, if not the world. It's decreasing anger, confusion, depression, increasing vigor, and then improves your sleep.”Jeff Boyd

Power Quotes From The Show

Caffeine Energy

“Not all nootropics are created equal. Caffeine is a nootropic by definition. Particularly what caffeine and energy drinks are missing is they're just giving you energy, but you have no ability to use it properly. They keep you awake but you're miserable.”Jeff Boyd

Why Multitasking Is a Myth

“Multitasking is a term that was made for computers. Humans cannot multitask. We can shift from one task to another in a nanosecond so it seems like we can multitask, but we are hardwired. We can only do one thing at a time.”Jeff Boyd

Paraxanthine Gives You More Than Energy

“Paraxanthine gives you smooth energy. It's increasing short-term memory, cognition under physical stress, and the ability to pay attention. That's more than energy. That's being able to have energy to then go deploy it, use it, and be your best self. What's the point otherwise?”Jeff Boyd
