💀 We don’t heal by escaping the system — we evolve by understanding it. This is the ritual of the modern mind: eat smart, think sharper, live awake.

Taking an individualized, science-backed approach to nutrition, mindset, and performance.

Fuel your system. Calm your cortex. Command your energy.

I help people reconnect with their biology — building healthy habits, restoring balance in the gut-brain axis, and finding what actually works for them.

As a holistic nutrition student, I’m blending education, experimentation, and evidence-based practice to guide others toward functional, sustainable wellness.

Cortex Cannibal was built for thinkers, grinders, and everyday humans who want to understand their bodies, not fight them.

Supporting you in understanding and optimizing your biology — for real, sustainable balance.

I believe that health isn’t one-size-fits-all — it’s adaptive. My approach combines nutrition science, functional medicine principles, and lived experimentation to help people reconnect with their systems, not fight them.

Together, we identify the root causes behind imbalance, fuel your body with precision nutrition, and design habits that actually last.

Whether it’s rewiring your morning routine, improving gut-brain communication, or building resilience through recovery — it’s all about progress that feels human.

Marsden Ridley — From the Edge to Awakening

For years, I ran on fumes — caffeine, chaos, and whatever numbed the noise.
Drugs, alcohol, burnout, depression — it was all part of the spiral.
I looked fine on the outside, but my system was collapsing from the inside.

I hit a point where my brain didn’t work the way it used to — no focus, no fire, just static.
That’s when I stopped running and started decoding what had gone wrong.

Recovery wasn’t pretty. It wasn’t a detox tea and a gratitude list.
It was rebuilding my biology from the ground up — healing my gut, rewiring my nervous system, and relearning how to feel alive without self-destruction.

Cortex Cannibal was born from that breakdown — a rebellion against burnout, addiction, and fake wellness.
It’s proof that you can crash, burn, and still come back sharper.

I built this space for anyone standing where I once stood — exhausted, wired, and done pretending.
Because healing isn’t about going back to who you were. It’s about becoming who you were designed to be — awake, aligned, and unstoppable.
