Reach the Next Level of Brain Optimization with the MitoMIND™ Helmet
Light is much more than a wave of energy that signals the absence of darkness.
It can have a profound effect on your biology, and, unfortunately, given the likelihood that you're spending much more of your time indoors than your ancestors — not to mention screen time is at an all-time high right now — you're at a higher risk for developing health conditions ranging from sleep disruption to cancer to cardiovascular disease.
Certain wavelengths of sunlight are more beneficial than others, with red and infrared wavelengths having the unique ability to boost mitochondrial function. Improved mitochondrial function, which impacts virtually all cellular metabolic activity, has been widely demonstrated to improve muscle recovery, inflammation, pain, sleep, and overall skin health.
Needless to say, getting enough daily light intake is crucial. Lately, one of my favorite biohacking tools for ensuring I'm reaping all the benefits of light is the MitoMIND — a cutting-edge helmet packed with 256 LEDs emitting 810nm near-infrared light that boosts cognitive function, enhances mental clarity, and increases focus. The MitoMIND offers six preset programs including Recharge, Sleep, Meditate, Relax, Concentrate, and Peak Focus, providing versatile options for your brain's various needs. Additionally, it allows for custom settings, enabling adjustments to time, pulse rate, and intensity to suit your preferences. With a sleek, ergonomic design, you can relax and enjoy the benefits of transcranial red light therapy without feeling like you're gearing up for a space mission. Adjustable fit? Check. Comfortable every session? Double-check.
If you're ready to step into the future of brain health, where optimizing your performance is as easy as putting on a helmet, use code BGLIFE for 5% off the MitoMIND Helmet here.

How a 61-Year-Old on a Budget Shaved 23 Years Off His Biological Age
Imagine transforming your life in a way that shaves decades off your biological age, all while adhering to a budget that doesn't require the bankroll of a tech mogul.
Pascoe is currently capturing the world's attention as a leader in the Rejuvenation Olympics, a unique competition dedicated to defying the grasp of aging. His exceptionally healthy lifestyle has seemingly erased approximately 23 years from his biological age.
Remarkably, Pascoe is ranked right above infamous tech millionaire Bryan Johnson (who was a guest on my show last year). Johnson, 46, spends an astonishing $2 million a year on his anti-aging regimen, which includes practices like experimenting with multi-generational plasma exchange (he donates plasma to his father and his son donates plasma to him), always walking under an umbrella when outdoors, and going to sleep around 8:00 p.m. every night.
Unlike Johnson, Pascoe enjoys more regular Joe activities like spending time in the sauna, watching Netflix, and maintaining a comprehensive skincare routine. To be fair, Pascoe's approach to defying aging does involve an extensive regimen — one that includes taking 120 supplements daily, injecting peptides, donating plasma four times a year, and undergoing hyperbaric oxygen treatment semi-annually. Still, he's found cost-effective alternatives to aging gracefully and “in reverse,” such as plasma donations that actually pay him (saving him at least $8K to $10K but offering the same results).
One belief Pascoe and I have in common is that biohacking does not need to be expensive to be effective. In fact, one of my recent podcasts covers biohacking on a budget extensively. From taking a cold shower to sweating outside in the sun, walking 10,000 steps a day, or fasting, there are a million different biohacks that are free or inexpensive. As Pascoe puts it, “I leave no inexpensive well-studied intervention off the table, like sauna, or cold therapy.”
So, what can you learn from Pascoe about the art of aging gracefully?
Pascoe's journey underscores the importance of adopting a holistic and proactive approach to health, one that balances innovative treatments with accessible, everyday practices (that don't need to break the bank). He emphasizes treating your body like it's a prized possession — one that you should be willing to invest in as much as you can.
Oh, and exciting news — I'm interviewing Dave Pascoe on my podcast soon, so if you want to discover more biohacking tips that extend your longevity (without costing you a fortune), be sure to follow my podcast on Apple, Spotify, Google Podcasts, YouTube, or whichever listening app you use (just search for “Ben Greenfield”). You can also listen directly to the show on my website.

Product Of The Week
::: Save 22% With This Seven-In-One Magnesium Breakthrough Formula :::
Did you know that a staggering 80% of people are walking around not getting enough of the magnesium their bodies desperately need?
And it's not just about getting enough magnesium overall; it's also about getting the right types of magnesium. Your body thrives on a variety of magnesium forms, each playing a unique role in your overall health and functionality.
This oversight is a major roadblock to feeling and performing your best. Magnesium deficiency is a silent culprit behind a laundry list of complaints: think dwindling energy levels, irksome irritability, restless nights, muscle stiffness, nagging back pain, and those sudden, unwelcome cramps. It's a domino effect of discomfort, all because your magnesium intake is low.
On the flip side, optimizing your magnesium intake — especially by incorporating a variety of its forms — can help you wake up energized, navigate your day with a calm, focused mind, enjoy deep, restorative sleep, and alleviate muscle tension and pain.
BIOptimizers' Magnesium Breakthrough revolutionizes magnesium supplementation by providing the full spectrum of all seven types of magnesium available on the market. This meticulously crafted formula is precision-designed to target every tissue in your body, delivering unparalleled health benefits. Yes, you read that correctly: seven different types of magnesium, all expertly combined into one powerful product.
Here's how I suggest taking it:
- For sleep support and relaxation: Take 2 capsules 30 minutes before bed.
- For brain function and stress management support: Take one or two capsules on an empty stomach upon waking up.
Try it now and save 22% off a one-month supply with code BEN10 here. You'll soon see why Magnesium Breakthrough has quickly become BIOptimizers' #1 best-selling product and a customer favorite.
