Journalist Jenke von Wilmsdorff takes on the high-pressure world of everyday performance enhancers. In this 95-minute documentary, Jenke explores whether substances—from the ubiquitous caffeine and prescription drugs like Ritalin to microdosed psychedelics—truly boost our productivity and well-being, or if their effects are merely psychological. Accompanied by medical experts, he employs brainwave monitoring and fitness trackers to objectively measure the impact of these “dopingmittel” on the body and mind. The investigation offers a provocative look at how modern society seeks shortcuts to cope with relentless pressure, questioning the real benefits and potential risks of these widely used stimulants.
