Ep 42: Nootropics Are Coming…But What Are They?
Listen on…
You’ve probably tried a number of different products and supplements over the years to help you deliver the best possible class. Pre-workouts, a certain amount of protein within a particular window after exercise - or just a hit of caffeine before class.
This week’s podcast guest is Babak Brazell, the founder of Level Out, a nootropics company with a particular focus on the fitness industry. If you’re wondering what nootropics are - then keep listening. It’s essentially a cover-all term for supplements designed to improve brain function… and as you’ll hear they are becoming more and more popular with everyone from high performance athletes to silicon valley CEOs.
