Iterable CEO Justin Zhu was recently fired for "micro-dosing" LSD, a psychedelic drug, to improve his focus, he told Bloomberg last week. Micro-dosing, or taking small amounts of psychedelic substances, has gained popularity in recent years among entrepreneurs as a way to boost their creativity.
Plenty of other CEOs and founders who want to improve productivity and prevent burn out turn to so-called "biohacks," a broad term that encompasses everything from enzyme injections to fasting days.
Here are seven biohacks executives have used, along with the science — or lack of it — that backs them up.
Winston Ibrahim, CEO of water filtration start-up Hydros, told Insider he has a "regenerative medicine specialist" inject him with NAD+ (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) to boost his energy and prevent burnout. NAD+ is involved in all fundamental biological processes, including DNA repair and energy conversion in our cells.
Some overworked professionals swear by NAD+ "brain reboot" injections, citing higher levels of energy, focus and a faster metabolism.
Ibrahim said the injections mimic the effect of prescription stimulants, but without the side effects of taking them in pill form.

Chinese people drink bone broth all the time. The LSD microdosing is a new thing, at least to me.
It's easy, just use smaller doses than usual.
Bone broth is sort of expensive if you don’t make it yourself. Can be delicious. Didn’t know it was a thing.
Micro dosing LSD I’ve heard a lot of them do it. It opens them up to the spirit world where fallen angels give them all kinds of wonderful ideas.
The new thing is Mushrooms,
I don’t know about for CEO types, but I am seeing more and more articles in medical journals about these and in both the main and non main news. I am guessing peyote and dmt, mdma and all kinds of other things will follow
*I know mushrooms are not new, but the ‘political’ science is evolving
Drinking “bone broth” is healthy and nutritious.
Micro dosing LSD daily is a path to insanity.
Never occurred to me, don't know why not.
So, playing the Ouija Board while tripping on acid and listening to ACDC is the Highway to Hell?
A friend found Jimson Weed growing wild outside our school and harvested the seeds. Knew that much but not the dosage. Visited him in jail (after he ran across campus naked), and he insisted I watch the tiny motorcycles racing up the wall and across the ceiling. That one keeps you out for a whole day and then your artificially near-sighted for a few after that. Most amusing to see which students were on it as they had to get up on the chalkboard to read it.
Biggest mystery is how I did all that crap while smoking pot like cigarettes yet still became Valedictorian. The downfall was taking up the legal poison alcohol to which I attribute every mistake since - but I own that.
CB, you deserved some history there.

If liked hooch I’d have been no different
My best pal Edwin and an immediate family member whom you know well both fell under its spell
It’s an accepted facet of the human experience in every civilization I know of
Women were ALWAYS my addiction
Both a boon and a curse
Due to the medical crap I'm down to two to five beers a day and going without is merely annoying and no big whup. God's been far kinder to me than I deserve.
If you added electrodes to your sleep routine? But I think Bruce Lee hastened his own death misusing electricity.
