As his curiosity deepens, Caspar immerses himself in the history of biohacking, discovering a field that aims to optimize cellular physiology and revolutionize medical treatment.

    Caspar's mission extends beyond mere critique. He embarks on a quest to blend Western, naturopathic, Eastern, and psychological medical models into a cohesive and holistic approach. His vision leads him to advocate for blended healthcare, where specialization gives way to a more comprehensive and integrative perspective.

  • In this episode, we discuss chemical dyes - Red 40, and Yellow 5 and how they affect our emotional behaviour. We talk about the role of dyes in neuropsychiatric conditions such as ADHD and their potential link to impulsivity, "brain buzzing" and inattention.   

    I discuss the TED Talk - The Effects Of Artificial Food Dyes | Dr. Rebecca Bevans | TEDxCarsonCity. Dr. Rebecca Bevans is a professor and researcher with a PhD in cognitive neuroscience. Her story emerged through her experience with her son when his behaviour became "problematic". She now shares the journey of how dye-free living has changed both her son's and family's life.   

    Which can be watched in full here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQzOHAwCfXs   

    I share my personal experience with dyes and when I first noticed a mental effect after taking BCAAs (Branched-chain amino acids). After years of research, it turns out Red 40 was to blame.
