Ancestral Brew

One of the most underrated plants in human performance and longevity science.

Not ultra-processed chocolate.

Actual cacao.

🧬Over the years, while researching genetics, metabolism, and human performance, it kept showing up in the literature.

Blood flow. Mood. Cognition. Exercise performance. Polyphenols. Theobromine. Compounds linked to focus, calm, and motivation.

The more I researched it, the more I became convinced:

This might genuinely be one of the most fascinating plants on the planet.

So I became obsessively curious.

🇮🇩I went to Indonesia, met with farmers, cacao researchers, manufacturers, and labs. I tried different origins, processing methods, formulations, textures, and testing protocols.

The goal wasn’t to create another wellness product, it was to create cacao the way I wished it existed.

🔬Rooted in science, transparency, sourcing, and ritual. Something where you actually know what you’re consuming.

In a weird way, this is also why I started Ancestral Brew in the first place.

I’ve always been fascinated by the intersection of ancient foods, biology, performance, and what actually makes humans feel good.

After an unreasonable amount of testing, travel, experimentation, and failures…

The most tested cacao I could create is launching soon.

If you’ve followed me since the DNA/genetics days - thank you for sticking around.

Excited to bring you into this next chapter 💪
