“I don’t take anything” - proceeds to list a million things haha. Jokes aside great clip, love these screen wall episodes!
L-Theanine 200mg is super effective. I get a lot done while using it. Pairing it with caffeine helps a lot too.

I manage a very complicated production department with lots of very abstract jobs that can involve a wide range of machines such as a CNC cutter/router. When I am stumped on how to move forward with a job I will go outside and smoke a cig. More often than not I think of a solution. Nicotine absolutely works and employers undervalue the smoke break. The owner(my only boss) told me I can smoke as much as I want as long as my department keeps up with production. He sees the value of it.

I strongly suspect it's not the cig that's getting you to the solution, it's the break you're taking while smoking. I'm a software developer (software architect, actually). By definition, my profession requires extremely abstract problems and solutions. When I get a task, the first think I do is try to understand the problem to the point where I can visualize a solution. If the problem is sufficiently obtuse, I take a moderately long walk. About 2/3 of the way through the walk, a vision of the solution comes to me.

Yeah it’s clearly not the cig. The part of your brain that creates the stress and the fogginess is highly active. When you step outside it becomes inactive and your other part (solution-solving) becomes active again since it has room to function.

Great for your brain, not so great for your gums, teeth, lungs, etc.
One ironic thing about modafinil, is that in many regions it is classed as a narcotic, same group as amphetamines and cocaine, even though modafinil according to research displays little in the ways of risks for addiction and/or abuse potential, so it isn't popular among people who abuse stimulants, meanwhile it is rather popular among students and shift workers as it work to activate the brains wakefulness. The reason it is classed as a narcotic is likely due to it having an effect on your mind, and we can't have the common folks taking non-addictive medication that wake them up - they might wake up to see us effin' them in the rear!. heh, ahem, no but in reality, modafinil shouldn't be included in the narcotics class, rather just prescription only class.
A 7mg pouch sounds like a lot for someone who doesn't consume nicotine.

You get nightmares when you fall back to sleep after 5 hours of sleep because when you're half asleep and half awake is when nightmares are vivid.
ive been smoking a little pipe tobacco lately for fun, and I have to admit, i have not felt ANY addiction to it. so weird too bc i get addicted to everything i enjoy, and i enjoy the tobacco, but i dont ever crave it. so weird! not at all expected, i assumed i would have to stop for my health lol!

Exactly, the power of work outing and dieting is unmatched.
My naturopath cautioned me regarding supplementing with melatonin. He said long term use, particularly at higher doses, can produce neurological symptoms. But apparently there's smaller studies that show supplementing with melatonin long term, can slow down or even reverse bone loss. Seems like melatonin increases new bone growth. 🤔
Maybe add beta-alanine to the mix? ”Two studies investigating the benefits of β-alanine supplementation on the tactical performance of soldiers found it to be effective in maintaining lower body power and psychomotor performance, with cognitive function improvements also observed.”
I’m glad he mentions modafinil an impossible substance to get from any doctor
Great clip from the original episode!
I took Trazadone in the late 90s/early 2000s as a teen/early 20s. fairly large guy who is generally not effected like most people by meds like pain meds, muscle relaxers, etc.that being said, believe me, Trazadone will knock you the f out. like, in a hurry, unless you're taking a really really tiny dose, it's gonna be lights out fast.
I got a supplement that has the same ingredients as your drink. It's the only nootropic I've ever tried that's actually effective without it feeling like I just took meth.

What links? Nicotine and melatonin are available everywhere and modafinil/modalert is a prescription drug you can not just buy it. He can become he's md and he just prescribe it himself...
Why is 3 mg of melatonin a lot?
Honestly, I work in the medical field and also have a degree in both medicine and psychology; also, particularly fit and athletic. There's nothing damaging or surprising about him taking caffeine, nicotine, melatonin, and trazodone - especially if in moderation. This is the basics of highly motivated/competitive individuals. Moreover, he probably left out the use of amphetamines..😂 If all of the above are used in moderation, there's nothing clinically damaging.

Dr Russell Reiter is the most published human being on melatonin. I think he would wholeheartedly disagree with Peter around melatonin and physiological dependency..
Most compounds have a hump where low doses and high doses do the opposite...That's really common, not unusual at all.

@@pbkobold After too many years addicted to caffeine, I avoid every addictive substance I know of. So there's no way I would voluntarily put nicotine in my body even for a nootropic effect. I'd use centrophenoxine and/or noopept before nicotine. Some people may use small amounts of nicotine on rare occasions and be fine. Others will try it once and spend years taking it. For me, it's just not worth it.

Theanine Phosphatidylserine. 100mg of PS is like getting 30 extra IQ points. I know someone who takes it 3x/d. I can only handle 1x, min 6h before bed or no sleep. GABA also helps and has been linked to why younger people learn faster. It can also ruin sleep in my exp. Tyrosine can be motivating, but you can build up a tolerance quickly. Good ole' Fish Oil is no slouch either.

What the heck... this guy's a drug addict. Caffeine and nicotine in the morning, trazodone(a tranquilizer they use for HORSES) and a negligible amount of melatonin compared to taking a tranquilizer...and yeah, if you're using a horse tranquilizer to sleep, I imagine you'd need the caffeine and modafinil to wake up! 😮
