BrainBuzz Hot Sauce: Born in the Recovery Room

I never planned to start a hot sauce company. My plan was simpler: get the tumor out of my head and go back to normal life.

Born in the Recovery Room

Back in early November of 2025, I woke up from voluntary brain surgery with a shaved scalp, a titanium plate holding my skull together, and a nurse asking if I wanted apple juice. What I wanted was flavor – something sharp enough to cut through the fog of anesthesia and the bland hospital food.

That night, wired to monitors, I started scribbling on the back of a meal menu. Red chilies for heat. Bell pepper, carrot, agave for sweetness. Smoked paprika for a whisper of smoke. A name that made me grin through the haze: “BrainBuzz Hot Sauce”.

The doctors removed a benign tumor the size of a walnut. I removed every excuse I’d ever had for playing small.

The First Batch Was Therapy

Home with a “no strenuous activity” order, I interpreted “strenuous” loosely. I chopped, simmered, and tasted – each burn a reminder my senses still worked.

Six weeks (I had time) of tweaking, tasting, and labeling bottles with one hand while the other held an ice pack to my incision. The result: a sauce that starts sweet, blooms smoky, then detonates with chili heat – exactly the jolt my brain needed to remember it still worked.

Every Bottle Funds the Next Breakthrough

BrainBuzz isn’t just hot sauce. It’s proof that the brightest ideas can spark on the dimmest days. Every bottle funds ongoing research into benign brain tumors – because nobody should have to choose between a headache and a dream.

Two Promises in Every Pour

  1. Your taste buds: A 3-second ride from “nice” to “NEED MORE.”
  2. Someone else’s tomorrow: Real dollars for real research.

Grab a Bottle. Feel the Buzz.

Taste the sauce that turned a hospital menu into a mission. Because some flavors only hit after you’ve stared down the thing that could have silenced you forever.
