Does Magic Mind really give you clean and calm energy?

Magic Mind reached out to me about a sponsorship for my podcast.

If after reading this, you think you want to try Magic Mind, you can use the code PRINCIPAL20 for a sweet discount, and I’ll instantly become rich and famous.

And, since one of my goals this year is to experiment and document, I’m going to keep a log of how it works and how I feel while taking it.

Day 1

That’s today, Tuesday, January 14, 2025.

I took a shot, and had energy, seemed to be able to focus. Did some stats homework and I think I got it right on my first try, read 5 chapters in a book.

Blood pressure at night was 145/108!

Day 2

Woke up with a headache today. That was what I was most worried about. I don’t have caffeine very often and this has about 55 grams of caffeine. I was able to sleep just fine, but I did have weird dreams.

Today, I had a harder time getting things done, but felt like I had energy all day, and I did have a podcast Interview that went well.

Blood pressure was 131/101.

Day 3

Woke up with a slight headache today. I did have weird dreams again. I’m noting my sleeping and waking because they also sent me some sleep supplements, so I’m going to take those in about 10 days and see how hey work when I use magic mind and when I don’t.

Felt like I wanted to be productive today, and I was. Sometimes I get kind of lost in the day, but today felt like I had a bunch that I wanted to complete and I did that.

I also had the Big Impact Mixer today, and it went well. I felt focused and on top of things.

Day 4

Most days, when my wife’s alarm goes off at 5 am, I’m up and ready to go, and sometimes I even wake before her alarm goes off. Getting out of bed has not been difficult for me for quite some time, but it has the last couple days. I’ve been getting out of bed at 5:30, which isn’t too bad, I’m sure, but it delays the rest of my morning routine, and then everything feels off.

Today, I again had a slight headache, but the headaches have gone away within a couple hours, and they aren’t bad.

One thing that is nice is having energy, but not being jittery or anxious with that energy.

Day 5

Today was a little difficult because it was a Saturday, and I didn’t really need the energy. I probably won’t take it tomorrow.

But no headache today. So, that’s positive.

Day 6

Day off today.

Day 7

Day off today for MLK, Jr. Day, so hanging with the kids.

Day 8

Back on the grind with a podcast episode first think in the morning, and then I had occasion to write a ton today! Over a thousand words in an hour. These are the notes I updated/wrote today:

What was so good about today was that I had a lot of thoughts that I’ve been procrastinating putting out there, but today I got it done. That’s exciting.

Day 9

I took a couple days off of using Magic Mind to see how I did. So, Wednesday through Sunday I didn’t take any, and I took some today.

I felt like I had good energy today. I didn’t feel as snacky as I was feeling last week either, so there might be something to that.

Day 10

Day 10 Still feeling good with the energy. Not jittery.

Day 11

Good.

Day 12

Good

Day 13

I forgot to drink magic mind this morning, so it was a little later. I’m curious to see how it impacts me after drinking it after lunch.

Day 14

Didn’t have any trouble sleeping last night.

Day 15

Final day of my trial pack of Magic Mind.

Overall, I’d say this is good stuff. It promises sharper thinking and clean energy.

I don’t know that it delivered on the sharper thinking, but it did deliver on clean energy. I felt like I had more energy while using Magic Mind, and I always feel smart! haha!

The best part was no heart palpitations from the energy boost, and no crashing. Those are super important to me.

Try it for yourself
