Your Brain on Cacao (The 25g Focus Boost + Flow State Upgrade)
from Worth The Fight Podcast · host Matt Simpson: Author + Business Coach
A 2024 study found that just 25g of dark chocolate—about 1/3 of a standard bar—can boost cognitive performance and concentration during demanding mental tasks. And honestly… I'm not surprised. My favorite plant medicine might actually be raw, organic cacao. Yes, I love psilocybin (that playful little mushroom) and ayahuasca (which completely re-charted my life). But cacao? I have it almost daily—heart-opening, mood-boosting, and session-supercharging. Before coaching, I'll grab a square of Taza Wicked Dark 95% and slide straight into flow state—where learning quickens, creativity sharpens, and productivity soars. Think: flavanols + anandamide + clean energy… just don't confuse this with some BS-Inc. Hershey bar stripped of 99% of its magic.
