From ancient Ayurvedic medicine to modern biohacking, this sticky black resin is having a moment. But does it actually work?
In this episode of Playful TV, we dive into the world of Shilajit — a tar-like mineral resin oozing from the Himalayas, hyped by everyone from spiritual healers to testosterone-hungry gym bros. Is it legit? Or just rebranded mountain mud?
To get some clarity (and spice), we headed to Ibiza to talk with Jamie, a psychedelics entrepreneur and natural wellness enthusiast, who’s been experimenting with Shilajit as an alternative to synthetic drugs — including uppers like cocaine.
“It gives you energy, but without the crash. I feel sharper, calmer — and yes, hornier too.”
Let’s be real: when something’s dubbed “nature’s Viagra,” people pay attention. Shilajit has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to boost stamina, libido, and mental clarity. And now, thanks to TikTok and testosterone-obsessed wellness bros, it's back in the spotlight.
Jamie walks us through his routine: a rice grain-sized blob dissolved in warm water every morning. No frills. No sugar. Just the resin. And according to him, the effects are real.
What is Shilajit, Really?
It's essentially ancient plant matter that has slowly decomposed in high-altitude rocks — turning into a mineral-rich goo, packed with fulvic acid, iron, magnesium, and over 80 trace minerals. Sexy, right?
Scientific studies are still catching up, but early research suggests it might help regulate testosterone levels, improve mitochondrial function (aka energy production), and support brain health.
“Shilajit isn’t a high. It’s a tune-up,” Jamie says. “Less party drug, more performance enhancer.”
Can It Replace Cocaine?
We don’t need to sell you on why people are looking for alternatives to hard drugs — burnout, comedowns, and questionable powder from random festival dealers. Jamie believes Shilajit is a far gentler way to get energized and confident, without wrecking your nervous system.
Of course, it's not magic. It’s a supplement — and like all supplements, it works best when your life isn’t a total chaos spiral. But for those looking to biohack their way to better sex, energy, or clarity, it’s definitely worth a look.
How to Use Shilajit
– Use a pea-sized or rice grain-sized amount– Dissolve it in warm (not boiling) water– Drink it first thing in the morning or before workouts– Stay hydrated, and don’t mix it with alcohol or heavy synthetic meds unless guided by a pro
So… is Shilajit a scam? Not really. Is it a miracle? Also no. But in a world full of quick fixes and crash diets, it might just be a solid slow-burn secret weapon.
