My 18-Year Journey to a Sharper Mind

My 18-Year Journey to a Sharper Mind

My journey into the world of cognitive science didn’t begin in a formal laboratory, but with a simple, frustrating question that I asked myself nearly two decades ago: “Is this really the best my brain can be?”

I was driven by an intense desire to improve my own mental performance—to think more clearly, learn more quickly, and maintain focus in an increasingly distracting world. This personal quest sent me down a rabbit hole of research that has now spanned 18 years. I immersed myself in the worlds of alternative medicine, traditional herbal treatments, and the cutting edge of neuroscience. I became a relentless self-experimenter, meticulously testing the effects of different compounds, dietary protocols, and mental models.

Along the way, something unexpected happened. As I shared my findings with friends, family, and colleagues, I discovered a passion for helping others navigate this complex landscape. I became the go-to person for demystifying complex research and providing safe, practical advice, which is how I earned the affectionate nickname “Dr. Benson.”

I created NeuroEdgeFormula.com as the culmination of this 18-year journey. It is the resource I wish I had when I first started—a single, trustworthy place dedicated to providing honest, in-depth, and science-backed information without the marketing hype.

My promise to you is simple: everything you read here is grounded in diligent research and a genuine passion for helping you build a sharper, more resilient mind. Thank you for joining me on this journey.
