The Role of L-Theanine in RISE

The Role of L-Theanine in RISE

Caffeine boosts alertness, but it can overstimulate the nervous system when used alone. L-theanine provides balance, creating calm focus, regulating neurotransmitters, and protecting circadian stability. Here’s why this synergy makes RISE different.

Why Your Afternoon Coffee Is Breaking Your Sleep

Why Your Afternoon Coffee Is Breaking Your Sleep

Caffeine fuels performance,  but timing is everything. Afternoon caffeine disrupts circadian rhythm, narrows recovery, and traps you in the fatigue cycle. Here’s the science behind smarter stimulation.

Caffeine, Alcohol, and the Perpetual Cycle of Diminishing Output

Caffeine, Alcohol, and the Perpetual Cycle of Diminishing Output

Modern life runs on caffeine to wake and alcohol to unwind. But both disrupt deep sleep and REM, trapping us in a cycle of fatigue and diminished performance. This article explores the science, the cultural impact, and strategies to break the loop.

Hydration & Electrolytes: The Overlooked Jet Lag Tool

Hydration & Electrolytes: The Overlooked Jet Lag Tool

Jet lag is often seen as a sleep problem. But hydration and electrolyte balance play a fundamental role in circadian alignment, recovery, and adaptation to new time zones. This article explores the science and shares practical hydration protocols for travel.

Why Circadian Rhythms Are the Foundation of Human Performance

Why Circadian Rhythms Are the Foundation of Human Performance

Circadian rhythms are more than sleep–wake cycles, they are the foundation of human performance. From morning focus to evening recovery, your body runs on rhythm. This post explores the science behind circadian alignment, the costs of disruption, and how high performers and organisations are using rhythm to unlock clarity, resilience, and recovery.

Optimising Dopaminergic Tone Without Burnout: The HMN24 Approach

Optimising Dopaminergic Tone Without Burnout: The HMN24 Approach

Optimising dopaminergic tone without succumbing to burnout is one of the pivotal challenges in contemporary performance and wellness. In today’s culture of quick fixes, excessive caffeine consumption, overstimulating activities, and “always on” behaviours often dominate strategies for focus and motivation.

We've Forgotten the First Principle of Health: Time

We've Forgotten the First Principle of Health: Time

In today’s world of supplements and biohacks, complexity is king.

We’re offered DNA tests to guide our diets, microbiome kits to interpret our gut, and 50-ingredient blends to "cover all bases."

But amidst the noise, we've lost sight of one of the most foundational elements of human health:

The Energy Category is Broken

The Energy Category is Broken

Scientific consensus began to shift. Sugar wasn’t just energy, it became a metabolic risk. Excess glucose intake was now linked to obesity, Type 2 diabetes, systemic inflammation, and chronic disease.

 

Lions Mane - What we need to know.

Lions Mane - What we need to know.

One of the key ingredients in HMN24 Flow is Lion’s Mane (Hericium erinaceus), an emerging natural compound gaining increasing attention in scientific research. While still in the early stages of validation, preliminary studies and traditional use suggest promising benefits, particularly in cognitive function and nervous system health.

L-Tyrosine and The Afternoon Slump

L-Tyrosine and The Afternoon Slump

Dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE) levels are likely to be lower as we move into the afternoon, contributing to the "afternoon slump." This phenomenon can result from a combination of physiological and environmental factors that deplete neurotransmitter levels or reduce their functional efficiency.
The Sleep Cycle: Stages, Recovery, and the Impact of Caffeine

The Sleep Cycle: Stages, Recovery, and the Impact of Caffeine

Understanding how caffeine influences sleep, especially deep sleep, is important for optimising both performance and overall health. also, we must abide by some rules around caffeine consumption.
The Science Behind Combining Caffeine with Theanine

The Science Behind Combining Caffeine with Theanine

Caffeine and theanine are compounds found in tea but have very different effects on our brains. Caffeine is a well-known stimulant that increases alertness and reduces fatigue, while theanine is an amino acid that promotes relaxation without sedation.
