Section 1 -A Week in the US, Sacred Medicine in Colorado, and Relaxing in Tulum with Joanne

It’s been a truly unforgettable week in the US. One of the highlights was a meeting in St. Louis, which came from a LinkedIn connection. After a productive discussion, we’re optimistic that this will turn into an excellent distribution agreement, setting the stage for exciting growth in the near future.

Another remarkable experience took place in Colorado, where I spent time working with the sacred medicine San Pedro. The experience was deeply transformative—an intense journey of reflection, healing, and personal growth. It’s hard to put into words the level of clarity and insight I gained from this powerful experience.

Now, after an incredible mix of business and personal growth, I’m unwinding in Tulum with Joanne. This week has been all about recharging in the peaceful surroundings of the beach, reflecting, and resetting before diving back into the next phase of our ventures.

Balance is key—these moments of intense work, spiritual growth, and relaxation are exactly what I need to move forward with fresh perspective and energy.

Wishing everyone a week of growth, balance, and reflection! 🌴✨

Section 2 - Investment Opportunity: Revolutionising Mental Health: BrainGym Investment Opportunity

The UK’s mental health sector is in urgent need of change, and BrainGym is set to lead that revolution.

Millions of young people are disillusioned with the current mental health offerings—either stuck behind their laptops in therapy sessions that add to their screen fatigue or attending in-person sessions that are clinical, impersonal, and costly. BrainGym plans to change all of that by creating the UK’s first gym dedicated to training the brain.

We’re taking well-established mental health tools—such as mindfulness, breathwork, and resilience training—and repackaging them in a whole new way. Instead of sitting in a sterile room, our members will experience 1-1 personal therapy (PT) sessions and group classes focused on building mental strength and resilience.

Our unique offering includes:

• Personal Therapy (1-1 PT sessions)

• Group Classes: Mindfulness, breathwork, resilience-building, and mental strength training

• Flexible models: One-off sessions or memberships

We’ve already secured £30k of our £275k target and are closing the round on August 22nd. The sooner we can open our doors, the sooner we can serve the 200+ members currently on our waiting list.

This is a chance for investors to not only generate significant returns but also to be part of a mission that will change lives and revolutionise the mental healthcare landscape.

While securing an investor is our top priority, we are also open to discussions with potential mentors or Non-Executive Directors (NEDs) who can help guide our growth.

If you’re interested in learning more or discussing the opportunity further, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and we can set up a call.

All the best,
Louis Hilton
Founder, BrainGym

Section 4 - Events, Offers, Insights and Announcements: Psychedelics: The Next Frontier of Medicine - Join Us on This Transformational Journey

The world of medicine is undergoing a profound shift, and at the heart of this revolution is psychedelic therapy. What was once seen as controversial is now emerging as one of the most promising frontiers in mental health and wellness. As scientific research continues to unlock the therapeutic potential of psychedelics, we believe this is an unparalleled opportunity to be part of a movement that will reshape the future of healthcare.

From treating depression and anxiety to addressing PTSD, substance abuse, and chronic pain, psychedelics are showing immense promise. Companies in this sector are innovating and leading the charge in bringing life-changing treatments to market, and we’re actively seeking businesses to acquire or help grow in this rapidly expanding space.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur in the field of psychedelic therapy or a business looking to scale its operations, we want to partner with you. Our goal is to accelerate growth, provide operational expertise, and position these businesses for long-term success in a burgeoning market that is expected to grow exponentially over the next decade.

For Passive Investors:
If you’re looking to diversify your portfolio and gain exposure to a high-growth sector with transformative potential, we are also looking for passive investors who are interested in backing the future of psychedelic medicine. This sector offers a unique opportunity to invest in groundbreaking treatments that could not only deliver financial returns but also positively impact millions of lives.

As we navigate this exciting frontier, we are committed to identifying and backing businesses that are shaping the future of healthcare. If you're ready to be part of something truly groundbreaking, whether through acquisition or investment, we would love to discuss how you can get involved.

The future of medicine is here, and it’s psychedelic. Let’s make history together. Reach out to explore opportunities to invest, scale, and grow within this revolutionary space.
