Introduction and Topic Overview
00:00:00
Speaker
Welcome back to the channel, guys. Before I jump into today's episode, I just wanna say, for those of you who have taken the time out of your days to watch my videos, thank you very much. I really appreciate it.
00:00:14
Speaker
It's nice, it's nice to see that people are actually listening to me. If you like this channel, don't forget to like and subscribe, okay? So today, what am I talking about?
Journey of Quitting Gym Supplements
00:00:25
Speaker
I am gonna be talking about why I basically stopped taking all gym supplements. And I was a guy that would take all of the gym supplements, like anyone that you can think of, right? Creatine, protein, EAs,
00:00:43
Speaker
BCAs, testosterone boosters. You get what I'm saying. I was taking them all. And I was also taking a lot of vitamins. Like, I mean, I had fish oils, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin C, iron, milk thistle. Like, just, the list goes on. My cover was just stocked with supplements. The question is, why did I stop taking all this stuff?
The Role of Mushrooms in Mental Health
00:01:12
Speaker
Well, the real reason is, is mushrooms. Like I'm being completely honest with you. I started taking mushrooms. And when I started taking the mushrooms, I really started to notice a lot of changes in myself. Changes that I've never ever seen from taking all these gym supplements and vitamins. And the kind of changes that I was talking about was changes in my brain.
00:01:43
Speaker
And I started like thinking differently, started acting differently, started talking differently, started viewing things differently. Everything just started to change.
00:01:55
Speaker
So I really started questioning myself about why was I taking all these gym supplements for all these years? So I was like, you know what? Let me just try not taking it. I was just somebody, right, that would go online just like everybody else, see somebody that's super jacked promoting these products, or maybe your friend told you that like, oh, you gotta try this pre-workout. You have to try it, it's so good.
00:02:22
Speaker
So then we'll just go spend 60 bucks. Try it. And I never questioned it. Never questioned it for years, right? Because everyone's just pushing supplements on you now. I stopped taking the gym supplements. Still taking my vitamins, my fish oils and all that stuff.
Physical Impact Post-Supplements
00:02:39
Speaker
And it's been a year. Do I notice any difference? No, I do not. Imagine that. Imagine how much money I would have spent
00:02:51
Speaker
one year on gym supplements and I don't notice any difference. Maybe if I was still taking it, I don't know, maybe I would be a little bit bigger. Maybe I would be a little bit more defined, but I wasn't really seeing that much change in myself at all really for all the years that I was taking these supplements.
00:03:15
Speaker
started taking mushrooms for one year seeing these massive shifts in my life my mindset and like that's the most important thing to me is your mind and if you can get your mind right clear all that clutter noise and nonsense and bullshit out of your head you're gonna be really happy and then when you're really happy
00:03:38
Speaker
Everything is just gonna come into your life. Everything is just gonna be easy. You're gonna be a lot more happier to go to the gym and more motivated to go
Energy Levels and Mushrooms
00:03:47
Speaker
to the gym than do other things. Now, trust me, all of these supplements are exactly that. Supplements.
00:03:56
Speaker
So if you're not getting your proper protein intake, then protein powder would definitely be recommended. If you're not getting like enough vitamin D or, you know, these are our supplements that you would take if you're not getting those things. But now that I've been taking these mushrooms and my mind is like super healthy,
00:04:22
Speaker
I'm always happy. I'm always on the move. I'm not tired anymore. That's another thing I want to point out is how tired I used to be before I start taking mushrooms. Like I mean exhausted. And I was taking all of these supplements all the time. You think I would be like, like a lot of energy ready to go, but it wasn't even like that at all. I was always exhausted. Now I'm going to think about it. Like, I mean, anytime that I would sit down,
00:04:50
Speaker
I would just be exhausted. Trying to watch a movie, fall asleep. When I used to work my old job, like any single time I sat in a truck and someone else was driving, I would fall asleep. And that's how bad, that's how bad it was. I was always just exhausted. I would still push myself, but I was always exhausted. And that's not a way to live your life being tired all the time because you're not really going to live your full potential if you're tired all the time. Now,
00:05:18
Speaker
You know, ever since I started taking mushrooms, I wake up energized. I wake up refreshed, not tired. I used to be so groggy and shitty in the mornings. You know, I woke up this morning, I got up and I'm just, it's like happy, like ready to go.
Cost and Benefits of Mushrooms vs. Supplements
00:05:36
Speaker
Now, I wanna point this out because, you know, I work with a couple different companies and some people will say that it's too expensive. So why would I buy that?
00:05:47
Speaker
Well, what else are you buying? You're probably buying those gym supplements that are 60 bucks. A type of protein is 100 bucks. Most creatine and pre-workouts are like 60, 70 dollars, right? Now a lot of people will spend all that money on those things, but not see very many results.
00:06:09
Speaker
So like, I can't believe I was doing that my whole life. And I never, never questioned it. A lot of people will just spend hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars on supplements. But have you ever tried not taking those supplements? And just experiment. Just experiment with yourself. Just try it. See if there's any difference. You probably will not notice
00:06:35
Speaker
I'm not probably, I didn't notice a difference. And I mean, I was taking a lot of supplements, a lot. I never noticed a difference in myself whatsoever. So when people say that it's expensive, to me it's not expensive. The prices should be more because that's how much of an impact it has had on my life.
00:06:56
Speaker
when I started microdosing. And now I'm taking these mushroom sleep gummies and the mushroom coffee. Like this stuff is literally putting me at my peak performance. I feel so clear, like there's no brain fog whatsoever. When I take these sleep gummies, I feel well rested. Like I wake up well rested, like awake, alert.
Testimonials on Mushroom Benefits
00:07:21
Speaker
I'd never experienced that. Ever. In my entire life. Never. It's wild to think about how many mornings I was waking up. I would always sleep in for work whenever I would never get up.
00:07:35
Speaker
And then driving, I remember driving to work, and I'd be dozing off at the wheel, trying to get to work. And driving home from work, dozing off to the wheel. I just always exhausted, yawning all day long. Funny story about yawning. Yesterday, I actually went to the gym with my friend, and I asked him, I was like, can I make you a mushroom coffee? I wanna see if you like it or not. Anyways, he drank it.
00:08:05
Speaker
Really surprised with the taste right away. And later on in the workout, he was just like, man, I feel just so like...
00:08:15
Speaker
alive and like alert and so like clear-minded. I just feel really good. I was like, yeah man, this is good stuff, right? We finished the workout, we go home, he texts me and he's like, man, I just realized that I haven't yawned in hours. And he's like, I used to be so like tired all day long, like always yawning my face off and I haven't yawned in a long time. He's like, I don't know if it's just the coffee or he's like, but I don't know, man, I gotta get some of this stuff.
00:08:45
Speaker
And that's exactly how it is. Like, I have one of these coffees. It's Eon's Smart Mushroom Coffee, right? And there's like Shaga, Lion's Mane, Cordyceps, and there's all of these like great ingredients in there in this cup of coffee. And like, you can drink that as like a pre-workout and go to the gym. And like, it's just, if I can describe it, it's just like a clean, clear energy.
00:09:11
Speaker
You know when you take those pre-workouts and you get like itches in your face And you get that tingly feeling and you know I'm after taking pre-workout and like in the middle of my workout if I'm going too hard my heart is pounding into my chest It's not like that with this coffee. It's just you get this like clean clear energy. That's just it's just nice and You just have this all-day Consistent energy like there's no crash. I love it. So I
00:09:41
Speaker
Anyways, now I'm at the point where the sleep gummies and the microcybin and the coffee, there is all the goodness in these products that you really need. So now I'm taking all these like vitamin C, vitamin D, fish oils, magnesium, like all of these vitamins,
00:10:05
Speaker
So now I'm like, well, why am I wasting money on this now too? Mushrooms is making me feel like a fucking million bucks. So why am I taking this now?
Transitioning to Vitamins-Free Lifestyle
00:10:17
Speaker
So now I'm going to experiment, not taking any vitamins. And I understand a lot of people will say that vitamins is good for your longevity and it does this and does that and does this.
00:10:28
Speaker
But like, I've been taking vitamins all my life, and like I said, I've always been fucking tired. I've always been exhausted all the time. I used to be so tired all the time.
00:10:42
Speaker
And now that I've just incorporated mushrooms into my life, I'm not tired all the time. I'm very well rested, I feel great, and I just feel like I'm constantly leveling up my life. Constantly leveling up my life and learning more. So, this is the reason why I stopped taking gym self-womens, and now I'm gonna stop taking vitamins. I'm only gonna be taking microcybin,
00:11:08
Speaker
and eons. So with microcybin, that's basically microdosing, so there's like psilocybin, but it's not just microdosing psilocybin. They have a lot of different products, and each product's got their own strain of psilocybin, but they also have ashwagandha, shilajid, cordyceps, lion's mane. So I'm getting all that goodness from microcybin with a microdosing.
00:11:35
Speaker
Then I'm having the eons coffee, right? There's a bunch of goodness in there. And then I'm having the sleep gummies. So my day is just set right already from the sleep gummies because I'm feeling extra rested. I'm waking up refreshed, energized, ready to go. Then I wake up, take my micro dose.
00:11:58
Speaker
and I'm just on a vibe like I am right now. There's days you can't wipe the smile off my face. There's nothing that's gonna make me mad. That's exactly how microdosing is. And even with this coffee, it's like you're just on another level. You're on a vibe. You start talking differently, start acting differently. Everything about you just becomes different. People start noticing
Community Feedback on Microdosing
00:12:22
Speaker
changes in you. I don't know how many people that I've talked to that have tried these products.
00:12:26
Speaker
and they give me feedback, and they're like, man, my mom is noticing big changes in me. They ask me, what the hell's going on? My wife is being like, man, what's up with you today? It's because people are microdosing. They're becoming more happier. They're not worrying about the bullshit. Everything just becomes easy now. You just have this different energy about you, and that energy radiates off to people, and then they're like, whatever you're doing, I want it.
00:12:55
Speaker
the amount of people's lives that I have seen changed just since I started talking about this stuff because it's only been a year for me and like I've been sharing my journey with mushrooms every step of the way so a lot of other people are trying and a lot of other people are coming back to me and telling me these wild stories about how they used to be and how they are now
00:13:19
Speaker
and it is amazing. I'm so happy that I'm in this field of work because literally it's changing people's lives and people come back to me with these big heartfelt messages and it's nice to see. It's really nice to see.
00:13:39
Speaker
Anyways, that's the reason why I stopped taking gym supplements.
