Magic Meets Science
From Foggy to Alert
“Magic Mind turns my morning coffee buzz into a symphony of focus, transforming a jittery prelude into a harmonious day of productivity and sharpness.”
Kylie C.
Our Story
After a trip to the E.R. a decade ago, I was diagnosed with a heart condition, and my doctor explained that the two major culprits were too much stress and too much caffeine (and that they were related).
I was running a company of about 50 employees, and he told me that I needed to limit my caffeine intake to half a cup of coffee per day. Then he suggested green tea, saying it has compounds that extend the absorption of caffeine and that “give you calmness while keeping you alert.”
It had never occurred to me that adding an ingredient (or a few) alongside caffeine would improve its effectiveness and decrease stress…It’s been a wild journey since, and a decade of research into the space of nootropics, adaptogens, and functional mushrooms (and over 100 iterations) later, I’m now sharing this magical little concoction with you.
Scientifically designed to support enhanced focus, mood and motivation, and to help create a calm, sustained energy to make every day the most dialed-in you’ve ever been - Magic Mind might just become the best part of your morning ritual.*

FAQs
What's in Magic Mind?
Magic Mind contains a unique blend of 12 active ingredients designed to support focus, mood, and energy helping you stay productive throughout the day. Read more about the science behind each ingredient at magicmind.com/science — you can also read about the science and safety of our ingredients in our Amazon bestselling book “Beyond Coffee: A Sustainable Guide to Nootropics, Adaptogens, and Mushrooms”.
Is it safe? Does it work?
Magic Mind uses ingredients and dosages that are safe and effective, utilizing the mood-boosting power of things like Turmeric, the long-lasting energy effects of Matcha green tea, as well as other ingredients that you can read more about here: magicmind.com/science. You can also read about the science and safety of our ingredients in our Amazon bestselling book, “Beyond Coffee: A Sustainable Guide to Nootropics, Adaptogens, and Mushrooms”.
What should I expect when consuming Magic Mind?
Unlike many traditional stimulants, Magic Mind’s benefits don’t come from excessive amounts of stimulating compounds such as caffeine. Though you'll feel an elevated sense of calm energy and focus within an hour of consuming Magic Mind, the benefits of some of the ingredients, like Ashwagandha and Cordyceps Mushrooms, can take 5 days to kick in and up to 10 days to reach full effect. When cycling off of Magic Mind (see our recommendation below), or if you decide to stop consuming it altogether, you won't experience any kind of withdrawal.
Do I take it alongside coffee or tea?
Yes. Take alongside or in place of your morning caffeine. :) Magic Mind has minimal amounts of caffeine and is meant to be consumed as a supplement alongside your current morning routine. If you drink 2-3 cups of coffee during the day, Magic Mind will satisfyingly replace 1-2 of those cups by extending the caffeine of your current morning routine. It can also replace your current morning routine entirely if you're trying to reduce your caffeine intake.
Can I take it on an empty stomach?
Many people drink Magic Mind on an empty stomach without problem, but Matcha green tea on an empty stomach can be an issue for some. We recommend a light meal 30 minutes before or after drinking Magic Mind if you discover that it's an issue for you.

Beyond the Coffee Cup: How to Stay Awake Without Caffeine
Verified by a US-based board-certified doctor. Originally Published June 2020 | Last Updated July 2026 Nearly everyone reaches for caffeine at some point in the day. Roughly 80 to 90% of adults worldwide consume it regularly. But feeling "less tired" after a cup of coffee isn't the same thing as having more energy. Caffeine works by blocking adenosine receptors in your brain, the receptors responsible for telling you that you're fatigued. It doesn't resolve the underlying fatigue; it just mutes the signal for a while, and that signal comes back once the caffeine wears off, sometimes with ...
