When I studied neurology and biochemistry at Princeton, it went back to this. This is why I understand biohacking the way I do, the brain sensors and neuropeptides. For at least the next 35 years I plan to be a machine, half computer and half warrior. My number one battle is endurance and being perfect. IGF-1 and ghrelin, the body’s growth factors for explosiveness and functional mass, have conditioned me to conquer famine.
Orexin-B is a 28 amino acid peptide produced in the hypothalamus in the brain. It binds to two types of orexin receptors, OX1R and OX2R, in the body. It is the security of the cardiovascular and circulatory system. Combined with my heavy nitric oxide intake, it keeps my heart performing well.
I have done many test experiments on my brain. My ability to learn is twenty-seven times superior to the average man. What takes most people six months and three weeks to learn, I learn in one week. That is through galanin and neuropeptide Y, which impact pain both physical and emotional. I have already been genetically edited on that, which is why I have never been knocked out or functioned with a broken leg. A ten out of ten pain to you is a four out of ten to me.
A few things from mushrooms like Lion’s Mane and Red Reishi to racetams like phenylpiracetam and aniracetam, popular in Soviet engineering, have shaped my process. Then come the supplements like caffeine and taurine. But the base will always be fats. That is how you energize your neuropeptides. Your EPA and DHA keep the cardiovascular and neurological systems working together as a super tandem.
If your memory is jacked up or you are learning like a snail, you are fat deficient. Fat is a core macro for organ function. It's how I survived a MMA career.
Here's my top 10 scientific facts justifying my position using now my legal education to verify my medical education:
1. The brain is composed of nearly 60% fat, and DHA/EPA are critical for synaptic signaling and neuroplasticity.
2. IGF-1 directly stimulates muscle hypertrophy and regeneration by activating satellite cells.
3. Ghrelin not only stimulates appetite but also enhances growth hormone release, impacting recovery and explosiveness.
4. Orexin-B is linked to wakefulness, cardiovascular regulation, and enhanced physical performance under stress.
5. Nitric oxide (NO) increases vasodilation, improving oxygen delivery and athletic endurance.
6. Ketosis provides a more stable energy source for the brain compared to glucose, reducing fatigue during high-output activity.
7. Lion’s Mane mushroom increases nerve growth factor (NGF), supporting memory and neural regeneration.
8. Phenylpiracetam and aniracetam enhance cognitive speed, working memory, and adaptability under stress.
9. Galanin and neuropeptide Y are associated with reduced perception of pain and stress resilience.
10. Fasting cycles upregulate autophagy and growth hormone, preserving lean mass while enhancing cellular repair.
People ask me why a man educated in both law and medicine speaks the way I do. The answer is simple: the law gave me the framework to argue and defend truth, medicine gave me the knowledge to prove it with data. My background in neurology and biochemistry at Princeton wasn’t abstract, it was tactical. I understood that every neuron, every peptide, every hormone could be treated like precedent in court. You build your case with facts, you cite your sources, you eliminate doubt. Just as I would dismantle an opposing counsel’s argument, I dismantle the body’s inefficiencies from fatigue, poor memory, weakness. That’s why I experiment, why I biohack, why I master both fields. Law trained me to defend human rights, medicine trained me to defend human potential. Together, they make me unshakable in court, in the lab, and in combat.
