That’s right, Silicon Valley startup, Nootrobox, hasn’t been eating on Tuesdays and their productivity couldn’t be higher. The smart drug company provides nootropics that are designed to increase brain performance and boost energy through natural and unnatural means. And they appear to be their own best marketing campaign by showing the world that a little productivity can be manifested through unique biological means. And fasting is the best way to do that. While many employers may be jumping at the opportunity to save a few bucks on free lunches by making this policy law, Nootrobox seems to be a bit of a unique case. With only four employees, this company-wide commitment to biohacking doesn’t take a lot of convincing. They are committed to showing the world that biohacking works, and they can easily keep track of the progress. And even with all that, it’s literally no picnic. Nootrobox, while innovative in their biohacking company culture, is not unique in their attempts to breed productivity through bodily intake. Steve Jobs used to eat so many carrots that he once turned orange. Some entrepreneurs mix butter into coffee to get that added boost. Entrepreneurs are infamously interested in finding ways to keep themselves productive. Whether or not these methods are sustainable remains to be seen. But you can bet the entrepreneurs of the world are going to keep trying them until they get it right. And if the new iPhone is the result, who’s to say it’s not working? H / T Business Insider
