The Great Unlearn

150. Daniel Solomons and Shawn Wells | UPDATE and the Evolution of Caffeine


Listen Later

Daniel Solomons and Shawn Wells join us for a fascinating discussion on the harmful effects of a substance consumed by 90% of the global population: caffeine. In response, they have created an alternative energy drink called UPDATE—the first product using paraxanthine, an extract of caffeine that offers positive immediate and long-term cognitive benefits.


We dive into…

➝ The cognitive and emotional risks of caffeine

➝ Why do we experience withdrawal from caffeine?

➝ Improving long-term brain function with paraxanthine

➝ Understanding substance stimulation vs over-stimulation

➝ Using caffeine as an escape
