Nootropics with Adam Greenfeld of Find My Formula #Best Education Page #Online Earning

Nootropics with Adam Greenfeld of Find My Formula




hey what's going on welcome to the Doug
show my name is Doug Huntington and in
this interview I talked to Adam
Greenfeld Adam is one of the co-founders
had a company called find my formula and
it's a nootropics company in fact I've
learned about find my formula from a
student of mine who said that they were
using it and really enjoyed the product
so I have been dabbling a little bit
myself and I'm actually I just took the
the clarity formula here and it seems to
be helpful as far as speaking so
hopefully I will hold it together it was
cool to connect with Adam because
basically I used the product I really
enjoyed it and I thought I want to talk
to some experts about it which is one of
the luxuries I have with the podcast and
YouTube channel if I want to talk to
someone I can usually just email them
and if it's a reasonable request they
will talk to me so Adam was gracious
enough to spend some time with me and we
talked a little bit about how he got
into biohacking in general and then
eventually found his way over to find my
formula and you know why he started the
company along with his partner we also
talked about fasting we talked about
biohacking in general we talked about
cold showers and a lot of other stuff we
go off on a few tangents here as well
and I'm a little disappointed in myself
I totally missed the shrinkage joke the
obvious shrinkage joke with the cold
showers but maybe it's better than I
didn't didn't mention it during the
interview so let's head over to the
interview now with Adam and I will be
doing a review on find my formula and
like my my impression of the product
I've already gone through like one month
of the formulas and kind of have an
impression on what I enjoy taking and
that's what the other video will be
about now I'm an affiliate for find my
formula so if you make a purchase
through my link then I get a commission
but you also get a discount so I will
put up the information in the
description and show notes so you can
get to that of course and you could
check out find my formula doc
and see if it's something you're
interested in so let's talk to Adam now
hey what's going on it's Doug Huntington
here and I am sitting with Adam
Greenfeld how are you today Adam good
well Doug man I'm Pete here
so Adam I reached out to you because I'm
I'm the customer I brought my own and
it's a little out of focus here but I
will I will show the image but I'm the
customer and I was like hey this is a
great product I've been using find my
formula for about a month I'm almost
done with my first month and I'm really
enjoying it so I just sent you a you
know cold the email I guess in the
customer but I was like hey you want to
join me and you said yes so this is
great can you give a little intro on
yourself and you know the company yeah
so formula is the world's first
personalized nootropics company
nootropics is a word an umbrella term
that is being used now to categorize any
type of supplement there's something
that you take in your in your mouth that
makes your brain work better so we are
the first company to take a personalized
approach to my partner dan studied
neuroscience at Yale and while he was
there I'm one big understanding that he
learned was everyone's brain is entirely
unique and so when it comes to putting
together techniques protocols and
strategies for improving brain function
there is no one-size-fits-all solution
the only way is through customization
and personalization so two years ago we
decided it's the first issue that we had
to tackle was data it's two years ago we
started what had become what became the
world's largest semi-blind four-way
crossover trial ever done on nootropics
we've tested hundreds of ingredients
thousands of participants collected
millions of data points that is now a
recommendation engine that is
the core of our company so Doug you came
on he took a four-minute survey that was
basically your answers were then
compared against thousands of others
with similar profiles and then we
suggested certain mixes of ingredients
that you should be trying we sent you
those in daily pill packs and you know
now we can speak really honestly about
if it works or not right in in some
pre-interview conversation this is not
going to be a whole ad for your company
by the way but what we're gonna get into
it but in some of the pre-interview
questions and just us shooting the
really I was like my productivity has
been up a lot unquantifiable like
directly but I threw out 4x and part of
it is you know add a necessity of me
having to get certain things done but
like I have 100% been able to focus
better and I just I feel better too so
kudos and again that's why we're talking
because I did enjoy the product yeah
like listen the probably the reason that
I'm here is I spend a lot of time as
that quote unquote you know some people
call biohacker right like I'm basically
a guy who is totally obsessed with
performing at superhuman levels and want
to do it in as little time and as little
effort as possible well mate well being
safe and not nerding out too much sir
right so I you know all of my spare time
has been listening to podcasts reading
books talking to doctors experimenting
on myself at my journey trying to find
things that make me perform really
efficiently at work um you really strut
on at the gym and keep me in like this
is a really euphoric mood all the time
no those are like really both claims and
haven't gotten there yet but I have this
very clear picture of what I want my
life to be so I experiment with
bunch of things so maybe we will be able
to like share some techniques and like
some things that have worked for me some
things will haven't worked some things
that I'd like to try right
well and before we get into that like
the specific stuff like you said that
you've been into biohacking
for a long time so tell me about that
story like how did you get into it why
hey I I'm not sure but in some ways like
I I think it just came from this idea of
just being hyper competitive with myself
and with other people and I think I'm
I'm not really gifted in anything right
I'm not incredibly intelligent
I'm 5-8 165 pounds soaking wet like I'm
not a big dude but I've always been like
really strategic from time I was like
six years old and so you know I would
watch growing up I would watch movies
like superhero movies and like honestly
think like I can do that whether it was
cognitively or performance wise so I
always had a lot of self-discipline so
you like the caveat with all of the
stuff that we'll probably talk about it
that I pray I do have a lot of
self-discipline and I am able to get
myself really good at like saying notice
eating stuff I can push myself I've
pretty high pain tolerance it is when it
comes to like working out and training
and things along those lines so I do
understand that that doesn't always
apply to everyone but one thing is like
just this hyper-competitiveness that
neither of my parents had right so my
parents are not competitive individuals
by any means I have no idea where it
came from but I've always been I was I
grew up this crazy sports fan and always
really wanting to win and always looking
for four ways to do that faster and
quicker gotcha
do you have siblings I do have an older
sister who is also not that competitive
point because it's a pro okay well I was
gonna say you know if you probably know
some folks that are there like the young
male and they got four older brothers
and they're just like you know they had
to be competitive but okay well you know
my parents are like these like hippies
from state New York right by the way
where were you located where's the
company located um we're in Manhattan in
New York and had New York very cool
right now we're like just just on the
just on Union Square if you're for
anyone's familiar with Manhattan where
we're right around Union Square nice
beautiful sunny day here so like your
background well actually I'll ask an
open-ended question what's your
background how did you get pulled into
the company and stuff like that or did
you was it your idea tell me dude
I mentioned before I have a partner Dan
he's got an incredible story
hopefully you'll spend some time with
him as well and he can tell it my
background is you know this is actually
my second business second startup in
this space so I've spent the last few
years trying to build nootropic
biohacking companies before that you
know like a serial startup guy right
like I was in real estate tack we had
started a couple fashion tech companies
before that I worked in pro sports I'm
like a like a working career wise he's
always on like the marketing and sales
side one big company that I did all of
my 20s and then startups into my 30s but
from like a know a health background
standpoint grew up as an athlete as I
said always hyper competitive started
working out when I was probably in my
late teens and have carried that ever
since so nutrition performance strength
speed has always been like a big thing
to me 15 years awesome cool so let's get
into some of the nitty-gritty on
nootropics here and you you fed me a
couple questions so I'm just going to
start with a couple of those will be
trained
parent and these are good questions so
I'm just going to use them straight up
yeah so what is quote brain optimization
and why is it important what are we
talking about here
yeah the the thing that the problem that
we're trying to solve is just like this
constant problem that people have like
constantly hazy never clear this brain
fog we try a million things to try to
get rid of it you know sometimes it
manifests is just feeling off or feeling
a little bit moody sometimes it's like
you can't channel the right words in big
situations sometimes it's like this need
to you know you need to be creative and
you know new ideas are coming your way
at its core scientifically speaking like
there's a malfunctioning or an improper
use of the neurotransmitters in your
brain these in
itty-bitty chemicals in your brain that
just aren't communicating correctly and
so at its core brain optimization is of
doing things or doing small small
actions in your life that vastly
increase how well these any bitty
neurotransmitters work nootropics
more specifically literally tells your
brain to use a higher percentage of them
okay that make sense yes do you have a
like go-to analogy for people that maybe
got lost in what you were saying where
it's like maybe go ahead you have one in
terms of brain optimization yeah it's
like Greeson greasing the wheels on a
squeaky you know something with wheels
or something you know like um like a
cognitive pick-me-up I would say anytime
that you just need a cognitive
pick-me-up I would think of that it's
brain that was Asian
you know there there are a couple movies
that were that were made which aren't
always so great for companies like line
one was a movie called limitless another
one was a movie called Lucy and the
tough side of movies like that is they
said that no one has seen them I highly
suggest you see them they're two of my
favorite movies the badge the tough side
of movies like that if they set these
really high expectations for what you
know supplements like hearts can do
right they don't so whatever you saw in
those movies it's that's not what we do
however what it does is it paints this
beautiful picture of how powerful the
human brain can be and how how many be
amazing things that actually can do the
you know if we do I do nothing else in
my career other than painting a picture
and allowing people to see even for an
incident how powerful and capable the
human brain can be it's it's incredible
you know most of us go through our
entire lives
it's like perpetually tired perpetually
frustrated no perpetually easy kind of
with this like fog when in when in
reality like imagine you to take that
away and how clear and this constant
flow of idea and productivity today and
so that's basically what we're trying to
do in the brain optimization space God
and going back I guess like to the
original like sort of question coffee
would would count as a nootropic you
take it you drink it and then
potentially the caffeine helps you you
know come out of that haze a little bit
right yeah I mean most of us have had in
one way shape or form experience with
something underneath this nootropic
umbrella underneath this umbrella is
everything from caffeine nicotine
B vitamins you know even like MCT oil is
probably underneath that umbrella all
the way up to you know some more
pharmaceutical based things you know
we've all heard of adderall and Ritalin
and 5n some people even categorize the
more heavily like police things like
suicide and an LSD underneath this
umbrella so yeah I mean anything that
you can take that tweaks brain function
arguably would be considered a nootropic
got it okay so in that's for narrowing
it down into sort of like my audience
right so niche site project is there's a
lot of affiliate marketers it's people
who are a lot of times professionals who
have a day job you know actually this is
a generally - story right so I had a day
job work in ten twelve hour days
potentially a commute in there in the at
the time in the Atlanta area so bad
traffic
so that's burning a lot of my time and I
wanted to work on side projects these
affiliate marketing sites right and I
couldn't carve out the time anywhere
else aside from like my sleep which I
like to sleep and I do know a lot of the
haze that you're talking about that I
experienced in the past was in fact just
not getting enough sleep and if I'm
well-rested like I'm in pretty good
shape but I was burning the candle at
both ends waking up at 4:00 a.m. getting
maybe probably like five to six hours
per night on most nights working on
weekends and like just trying to you
know chase my dream right and I got by I
was fueled by I think a lot of alcohol
and caffeine you know at the right times
of day but that is a lot of my audience
and I wonder from like a holistic view
like I mean obviously sleeps important
but if that's the only place someone can
get it like how would you guide
for you know getting enough sleep or
getting just enough sleep carving out
the time in being productive with or
without nootropics totally yeah let's
start with a few topics like what
everything that you should be doing
before you get or you at something so I
think there might be a misconception
that in order to get a lot of things
done in your day you can't sleep and I
only say that because I spent 12 years
of my life like fully subscribe today
right I was living this New York hustler
lifestyle where the only way that I
could justify a successful day as if I
was up at 4:30 I was in the gym by 5:30
I was at the office until nine ten
eleven was going out like like I live
that and I saw that I just had to be
grumpy all the time right
I would challenge someone to say and
even you know even I hear it a lot
because there were there were guys like
I love Gary Vaynerchuk I just do we
probably all a lot of us probably do for
many years
gary was you know sleep when you're dead
like work your North Bay job till 7:00
work your secondary job till 2:00 even
Gary now is saying like no like you need
to sleep just look at what you can do to
be the most productive during your
waking hours so for me personally and
there's a lot of science to back this up
I have now made seven hours head on
pillow a non-negotiable I can also tell
you quantifiably that the amount of work
that I get done from the time I wake up
the time I go to sleep even though there
are fewer hours that I'm awake now I get
way more done why because because I'm
sleeping seven hours and for some people
a lot of research shows like I don't
even want to start to say like some
people were six our people and some
people rate out people there's a doctor
named Matthew Walker who was on Joe
Rogan's podcast
he's like my favorite sleep guy wrote an
incredible book and the key is a lot of
data to back up that there's very few
people on planet earth that can function
at optimal levels underneath seven hours
so I'm not going to be like hey you
might be a six hour person you're not a
six-hour course you're at least a seven
hour person you might be an A or an
eight and a half hour person but the
likelihood is that you're seven workers
at least I'm a seven-hour person so I
would challenge you for seven days if
you're someone who goes as to go to
sleep till 1:00 and has to wake up at
5:00 and you're wondering why you're
cranky all day or you're wondering why
you have these crazy fits of like mind
wandering or you just like stare your
computer and you can't get work done and
you it's just like you have like this
feeling of the gear you can't control
your brain much and brain is doing
whatever it wants in seven days seven
hours I it would be a very very valuable
experiment just to see how many how much
stuff you're getting done in those
waking hours I'm so committing seven
hours then the second thing is how much
deep sleep you're getting within those
seven hours now there's a lot of like
self quantified tools now out there that
measure your deep sleep measure your
sleep quality of ordering you have the
whoop band I have friends who do both
I've experimented with both I don't use
any of them now some things that I can
say about one is the colder it is in
your room it's see the deeper generally
you're going to sleep so there's a
couple techniques there one like my
acing is down really low I'm at like 64
65 degrees in my room this nice - is a
nice where I know I need really good
sleep quality I'll take a cold shower
before I go to bed basically what it
starts to do is like traps my body
temperature and then three is
I just don't use really heavy blankets
because you really want to be you want
to be cold that's going to drop you in
fever sleep - a lot of people talk about
light exposure I can say that limiting
the amount of blue light exposure within
two hours of going to sleep has really
led to much better sleep quality for me
so the way that I do that is on so I
don't use my computer after 10 o'clock
that's like a hard stop there's also
obviously like Lux or flux so there's
apps where you can start limited where
the computer automatically limits the
amount of blue light that emits as you
get later at night same on my phone as I
limit uh and then I honestly just try to
put my cell phone down an hour before I
go to sleep fully transparent it doesn't
really work because I'm kind of addicted
to Instagram but hey you're just human
yeah and it's really it's really fun and
then third they're a little dorky but I
bought those blue light glasses those
blue light blocking glasses so well I
don't know if they work what I do notice
is that when they go on and it might be
placebo I do start shutting back they do
start shutting down we can get into
supplements there's an alternate
supplements the CBD supplements of
plenty of friends so we don't do
melatonin yet we don't do CBD so I can't
speak from like a huge amount of data
like I can on the nootropics that we do
work with I can say for me see buddy
gets me to go to sleep with them
sometimes a little groggy in the morning
so experiment by man she like sleeps
really important gotcha
and I but I personally like realized
after I got through you know waking up
like way too early
like I was able to get some good work
done in the morning which was my own my
own work for my own side project so that
was good but yeah in the afternoon I was
like
I was toast you know but luckily no
someone else's work that I was doing for
the company you know so I was doing just
good enough and you know with with the
corporation I kind of slipped through
the cracks I'll be honest with you two
but once I started getting more sleep
it's like wow I can get so much more
done it's like you know night and day
it's amazing so with the my cold
exposure that you were mentioning before
and just having a cooler at night like
the cold shower that you're talking
about like how cold I mean you you do
this all the time so you're probably
going as cold as you can get in with
your New York cold New York water right
and then how long are those showers yeah
so I have a pretty fun so cold showers
are not easy they're gonna be super
shocking if you are interested in
getting into cold showers which I highly
recommend and has been a really really
cheap and easy way to get a much better
brain function so I take them in the
morning and I take them at night I take
them every morning and then I take them
at night when I've got feeling that I'm
gonna have a hard time falling asleep so
preparing for cold showers two parts
first part is breath works so there's a
guy some of you may have heard of his
name is wim HOF wim HOF he's Dutch guy
who has created a breathing protocol
that takes about 10 to 12 minutes that
you do it's basically like
hyperventilation I've been studying his
method for years basically
hyperventilation
it quickly oxidized are quickly
alkalizes your entire body or gets
oxygen to all parts of your body and
prepares you to go into like an extreme
cold situation which a lot more
emergency
so look him up on youtube vise did an
incredible documentary on him it's like
2025
I think it might be a little bit longer
where it gives you like his full story
and interviews and all the science
behind the efficacy of over oxygenating
your book your body secondly really
simple and easy way to do coach outs so
start really easy half hot half cold
just at the beginning as long as it's
colder than your normal hot shower
you're probably doing good here's how
you're gonna do it you're gonna step out
of the main shower you're gonna turn on
the cold right you're gonna go first
your right hand you're gonna put your
right hand in with your other hand
you're literally going to just massage
the top of your skin so the shock of a
cold shower the reason that it's so
violent that your brain interprets the
cold as a risk it feels like your body
is under attack and cuts off
communication with that with that body
part so basically what you're doing is
going by going limbs limb by limb and
just like a very light massage what
you're doing is keeping that clear
communication with your brain and that
pain or that shock that you go into
never triggers you're gonna go a
literally right arm left arm we go like
right leg left leg you go body chest
genitals turn around you'll do the same
thing as soon as you're done with your
whole body it'll probably be about 30
seconds 35 seconds and you're done
that's your cold shower that is yet a
longer explanation and I think you were
looking for no that's very good so
detailed - you know you don't want to
forget about the genitals so you don't
want to forget about demo so that when I
was gonna say I lived in Montana for a
few years and I dabbled with cold
showers the water there is very
extremely cold like out of the tap in
the winter so like I couldn't get like
all the way like cold water because it
was like I mean I didn't put enough time
I'm sure it's possible but it was
probably coming out in the like mid-30s
like it's pretty cool so yeah in New
York we're probably like high 40s
if I'm like all cold full-blast it's
probably like mid like high 40s like
guess would be yeah cuz I'll do like
cold plunges and we have like a whole
bio hacker community here that takes ice
baths together where I know it's in the
30s and that's a lot more violent than
the cold showers gotcha and now now that
I say it out loud I never actually
checked but it was very cool I'll just
put it that way so I don't that on that
yeah all right so we we talked about
getting good sleep and just generally
like getting the rest so if we cursing
oh good
no I was gonna say I know you brought up
like that that 2 o'clock 3 o'clock
mid-afternoon dies yeah
I've experimented with some ways to
avoid that as well
if you want to go into that if not
totally fine we can go on you're
questioning but I have some good good
hacks for that 2 o'clock 3 o'clock ok
let's do it yeah
so I was that was a huge problem in my
life was this fact that every day at 2 3
o'clock for some reason like everything
would shut down I was having dinner with
a friend who was a neuroscientist and
basically he starts explaining to me is
that the what you need to understand is
that why does your brain and body shut
down at that time and it's basically
because of it runs out of fuel and the
reason it runs out of fuel is because
they you set it too much
I'm cutting to the chase right you fed
it too much sugar too early on in today
so right now what ends up happening is
right ketogenic diet people may or may
not heard of it if you're not familiar
with the ketogenic diet it's basically a
really high fat diet where you're eating
things like avocados and nuts
cooking things in butter you're eating
eggs with yolks you're eating you know
steaks with the fat in it basically what
that and and
you're totally removing carbohydrates
from your diet all right what that's
doing
that's allowing your body to run
entirely on energy produced from fat so
what's the difference between running on
energy produced from fat versus running
on energy produced from sugar so energy
produced from sugar gives you this
really awesome spike it works very
quickly and very efficiently but it
doesn't stick around very long
and then you obviously have those dips
okay energy speech fat it's like think
of it as like this slow trickle of
energy so rather than going up and then
crashing down it's the slow steady
continuous flow of energy so converting
from a high sugar or carbohydrate diet
to a primarily fat based diet totally
did away with all of those mid-afternoon
crashes what also helped was that I
started skipping breakfast a practice
called intermittent fasting where you
fit all of your food within an
eight-hour window so now I eat all of my
food between 12:00 noon and 8:00 p.m.
and so what that does is that in the
morning I'm still able to drink coffee
so I and take my nootropic so I get like
the energy I need to kickstart my day
I have my first meal about 12:15 12:30
and then as that fat really starts
dripping into my my system you know 2 3
4 o'clock in the afternoon arguably or
some of my most productive months got it
and we didn't know we were gonna talk
about this but you are like you're
blowing my mind because I recently got
into intermittent fasting a little more
seriously and I feel awesome like I've
just had some coffee today and some
herbal teas and stuff like that plus the
clarity blend you know the from your
from your package here and I'm getting
so much more done you know like I was
mentioning but also the afternoon
it's great and sometimes I'm
experimenting so I'm pushing my my first
meal into like the three o'clock range
so I'll have like sort of a lighter
lighter meal really careful and it's
super obvious by the way if someone
hasn't tried this it's a very obvious
bit like if I have a poorly selected
meal let's say a big fat sandwich say a
club sandwich or something and then at
lunch time or something all the carbs
will totally crush me and now it's like
so clear why for most of my life up
until I was doing this I was just like
eating like totally the wrong stuff like
very little fat I mean this it's when we
grew up right it was like low fat like
you know you got the pyramid you don't
this bread I'm thinking pasta is good
for me and like as I step back and now
we're old or you know science is a
little scientist or a little smarter now
so yeah I feel awesome the intermittent
fasting has been like game-changer and
I'm like how long can I like push out my
first meal so anyway yeah yeah so for
people who are thinking about trying it
it's not easy it took me so best way to
start this thing right yes
in essence it's skipping breakfast right
so the goal should be skip breakfast
you know the the technical terms that
all of us by hackers used with the
eating window and the 16 hour fast it
can be a little dunk the goal is to skip
breakfast for people like me it took me
six months on a ketogenic diet before I
was able to skip breakfast because I
loved for excess so much so intermittent
fasting was really really tough me now
on the flip side I mean my did like I I
notice a huge difference on days that I
eat early in the day just I'm like I'm
just slower and I'm a little heavier
with that being said if if you can do
tomorrow morning wake up and say I'm not
going to eat breakfast I'll have a
couple coffees maybe I'll take some
energy supplements just to get me
through the day and I don't have to eat
Oh lunch you
you're there for the population of
people who are like cannot dream about
skipping breakfast here's how you're
going to do it the oldsman goal is
intermittent fasting basically what you
need to do is front-load your day with
as many facts as you can right
so if in the journey of starting too
fast the first step is eating as much
fat early in the day as you can so that
means whole eggs for breakfast
avocados cooking things in butter buying
some MCT oil what that'll do is to train
your body over a couple months that it's
going to get like slow steady energy
each day the reason right now you
probably have such a hard time skipping
breakfast because your body hasn't just
used to these huge energy spikes and so
it doesn't know exactly when it's going
to get its next hit so it's constantly
triggering hunger pangs and so if you
can start training it to expect that
it's gonna get slow steady energy from
fat it'll be much easier for you to
start skipping meals and by the way yeah
it took me a little while to get into it
in this last this last time when I
actually like ramped it up and you know
intermittent fasting for longer periods
it was it was pretty rough I mean you
feel like you're gonna starve to death
but like you know you couldn't be okay
and I mean I needed to lose a few pounds
and I leaned up like pretty quick
it was a long winter and I drank oh yeah
I think I mentioned alcohol already once
I drink a lot of beer so like that's
non-negotiable generally but there's a
lot of calories what's that yeah yeah
you could yeah you work you work hard
play hard and things that bring you joy
yeah luck the beer the beer is in
there's a lot of calories and it sort of
violates all the other things that I
mentioned but you're not usually
drinking beer in the morning so we could
tell too
you're doing seven days a week you're
fasting no it's only been about I'm
doing like two to four days something
like that and on the weekends you know
my my wife and I will go out for
breakfast and I'll eat whatever and I
just you know I generally will eat what
I normally would have had anyway so I'm
trying to really you know still enjoy
the food that I enjoy I love pizza so
pizzas a great one for the weekends and
having having the beers and stuff like
that so the so two to three days a week
you're not eating until two to three
o'clock
yep that's right and how much weight you
two goals I think it's been about six
six or seven pounds or so and are you
working out or was it just two to three
days of skipping one meal I'm also
working out but about this I usually
work out anyway so it's roughly the same
like activity level maybe a tiny bit
more cuz I'm not I'm not like sort of
groggy in the afternoon so I may be able
to get in another I have a dog so I walk
the dog a lot so yeah that generally
from the intermittent fasting dude
that's like insane results yeah I've
been doing it for a few weeks so so in
week week yeah right yeah like that's
incredible amounts of results for very
little amount of work like that is
that's like definition of biohacking
yeah right yes like same amount of
activity your own you know you're only
sacrificing three of seven days a week
you're only skipping one meal and you're
seeing physical like pretty sizable
physical like you're not as how much you
what you're not that big guy like six
seven pounds like there's probably a
noticeable difference in the way that
you look and feel that's pretty sick I
mean track thanks yeah I mean I it was
like I said it was rough for a few days
and
and the hard part is like for you know
the first couple weeks nothing really
happened and then like something
happened after about three weeks and I
was like okay like the weight just kind
of came off so I'm not not a hundred
percent sure but yeah it's been good and
I like I said I feel better and all that
stuff so that's huge that's huge and
okay cool yeah yeah but and it's okay we
can go on tangents we're gonna say
something else no no all right cool I'm
really impressed
Thanks it makes me want it makes me want
to push it till 2 or 3 o'clock now yeah
and like I said I when I eat I was like
just slowing down a little bit so I was
like all right I'm just gonna I'm not
gonna eat for a little bit longer until
I'm done with what I got to do so okay
moving on I one of the reasons why I
I ordered from you guys is it made sense
to me that there's not like one pill
with this generic blend because I can go
down to GNC or I could order from some
of the other companies and it's one size
fits all which obviously I know that's
not true you mentioned that yourself so
how did you guys come up with the idea
to take the approach of putting together
these unique blends and that sort of
thing yeah it was I mean listen there's
no mystery
like there's more variations and brain
chemistry than there are on the rest of
the body combined the the note like if
you look at it like totally objectively
the notion of creating a
one-size-fits-all like solution for your
brain is this Nike just created the Air
Jordan one in a size 9 and you expected
everyone's like it's just not gonna
happen right so like you have to take
two things really into consideration
when it comes to brain authorization you
take one is like what'swhat's your
chemistry like what what are the
chemicals in your brain what's your
biology going to respond to and then to
like what
your definition or how does the
individual categorize what better brain
function it the reality is like your
brain need different areas to fire on
days where you know you're going to a
ton of meetings you're going to need
different area to fires and on days
you're sitting in front of a computer
and doing creative work which is a
different part of your brain that you're
gonna need when days that you're sitting
in front of a spreadsheet you're going
to need different parts of your brain to
work on tasks that you really enjoy and
a separate part of your brain to work on
tasks that you find really boring and so
we needed to ask those two questions and
we created a product or a company that
was able to customize for biology and
sure objective and that's the only way
for it to work on the vast amount of
people while we were doing all the
research we also tested out all the
competitors and what we found was when
we control team one-size-fits-all
cyclamen by and large work about 50
percent of the people by zero so the
Annabelle from Dax 50 percent meant that
one size fits all so and it's gonna
connect with the ecology with us after
going through a month we we can find at
least one formula that works with be
seven percent of our customers so the
efficacy just goes from 50 percent to
nearly 90 percent just by introducing
this variation gotcha and so for me
specifically I've had you know there's
there's four blends what are they again
the four but which the four that you got
right it yeah you have been running in I
do so it's creativity clarity energy and
logic and my question is like how they
all seem fine to me I didn't have any
like ill effects from any of them I felt
like I could focus a little better after
you know taking any of them I've taken
notes a little bit of a journal to you
know make sure I know what I what I took
when I can look back on what I did those
days and that sort of thing but like
like how can someone quantify or know
that a certain blend is working well for
them so the first thing to remember is
in in our process it's just as important
for someone to identify what doesn't
work as it is what's what does work you
know the likelihood that every blend is
going to or every formula is going to
connect with every single person it's
just an unrealistic expectation not even
like some of the blends in your box like
don't work from it they just don't match
with my biology so that's one - is the
way that I look at it is I have a very
specific I said a very specific
objective I'm a big productivity guy so
with me it's productivity and like
creativity are the two things that I
generally will be able to measure and
the two most important things that I
take nootropics for so I mean it's
pretty easy to tell on Dave is where I'm
just like crushing my to-do list right
and for me a lot of the time it's like
how quickly can I transition from task
tasks in the shortest amount of time
possible so I noticed in a prior company
I was the CEO of another company and a
big issue that I had and this is
actually when I first found nootropic a
big issue that I had was that people
would pop into my office and ask me
questions and I would help them and then
to recalibrate and go back to what it
was that I was doing what takes so much
time and I it would actually take me 15
minutes every time someone like popped
in for a got a minute meeting for me to
go back to my original task and it would
happen I averaged it out of between five
and six times
today we had a pretty big lead a pretty
big staff totally acceptable that's what
I was there for I'm there forgotten many
things however that was an hour to an
hour and a half a day of just
recalibrating that means that six hours
a week arguably six hours a week and
across the year I was making good amount
of money I was tossing my company a lot
of money enter my first nootropics stack
that I did on my own as like a rogue
biohacker
I was able to get that recalibration
time from 15 minutes to two minutes
right so basically I was able to when I
was on proper nootropics someone popped
into my office we do whatever it is we
do and I be able to sink back in to deep
work on whatever it was I was doing in
two minutes I mean just the that was the
game-changer for me that's when I fell
in love with nootropics six months later
I started my own nootropics company like
that that's what is insane impact I had
in my life just as this ability to
transition quickly from task to task to
task so for me a nootropic that works
for me is going to be it's going to
increase my productivity second is
creativity I do a ton of talking and I'm
out you know meeting with partners and
working with people and I do a lot of
face to face interactions and like my
happiness quotient is basement primarily
on my ability to connect with people and
have like really rich engaging
loving conversations and so a lot of
that has to do with like am I able to
channel the right words am i able to
verbalize what it is that I'm thinking
am I able to come up with fun ideas or
good ideas or say something funny at a
moment's notice and so a good nootropic
for me is going to do one or one of
those two things interesting and that
that's amazing the
task-switching and recovery period
because that that really that really
gets me especially you know working from
home and interruptions can really you
know take me off task and then i mean
there were times when i used to spy role
just out of control and like lose the
day right you know maybe if you're not
getting enough rest you're a little
grouchy like you get interrupted and
it's like ah like what am I gonna do and
then yeah I mean that's amazing
so I'm rambling on now but very cool no
and like for everyone and it's not
always gonna be as obvious as it is
right but anyone who's trying nootropics
for the first time should have like a
quantifiable way to tell if it's working
or not you know listen if you're taking
a you know and one of our nootropics is
really great to take before the gym
listen it's something you can tell right
away like you're in the gym you take our
energy our energy new trope our energy
stack is like your best quote unquote
pre-workout or like something that
people take before train that's really
easy to tell right you get you took the
energy stack you went into the gym where
you faster did you last longer and were
you stronger then it works but a lot of
the things that we're taking in for work
based optimization sometimes a little
bit tougher and and I can't pretend to
sit here and have the answer for exactly
how to measure for every individual
person but you know it's a question that
we can all ask ourself what woody how do
you how are you thinking about this so
as you're going through your first month
here you're you know obviously happy
what well how do you know you're happy
with this stuff it's been it's been a
little bit tough which is you know part
of the reason I ask the question but I
was trying to take the you know the
right supplement her nootropic for the
activity that I was going to do so the
other day for example
I was writing a long blog post I knew
what I was going to be writing from you
know days before which is always helpful
from a Productivity standpoint I knew
what I was going to work on and I
believe I took the creativity you call a
blend what you call it well I call
formula for the brain yeah so the
creativity formula and I felt awesome
writing I didn't get distracted number
