😋💡🧠 Everyday Boosters for Your Noggin
Hello Viewer,
If you could boost your memory, focus better, and stay sharp — would you? Naturally, the answer for most people is yes. But we often prefer quick fixes instead of a daily dose of nutrient-rich foods and supplements. In my experience, while they are expensive, Nootropics work very well!
In edition #112, we break down nootropics, foods & supplements that help your brain work better.

LAST WEEK’S 📊

In high school, I developed tendinitis in both knees from playing basketball 🏀. After a week of taking ibuprofen 💊, I decided that pills weren’t for me. Since then, I’ve preferred to tough it out — and most of the time, the pain passes just as suddenly as it appears.

NOOTROPICS
🧩 What Are Nootropics?
Nootropics are substances that can help your brain think, learn, or focus.
They might help with memory, mood, or energy — like giving your brain a little tune-up. Some are natural (like herbs and vitamins 🌿), and others are man- made in labs 🧪. They’re meant to help you think clearer, remember faster, and feel sharper.

🧠 Main Types of Nootropics
1️⃣ Prescription Drugs
Medications like Ritalin, Adderall or Modafinil can help people stay awake or focus. But ⚠️ they can also cause side effects like a fast heartbeat or trouble sleeping, so they should only be used with a doctor’s help.
2️⃣ 🌿 Natural Supplements (Our Main Focus!)
These come from plants and foods. Popular ones include:
Caffeine ☕ (from coffee or tea) – gives energy and focus.
Ginseng 🌱 – may help fight fatigue and stress.
Ginkgo biloba 🍃 – can support memory and blood flow to the brain.
Creatine 💪 – gives muscles and your brain extra energy.
Nicotine - improves attention, working memory, and reaction time.
💡 Why they’re important: They’re safe for most people when used properly and can fit into a healthy lifestyle. No doctor prescription needed — just good choices and moderation!
3️⃣ Synthetic Compounds
Lab-made nootropics like Piracetam may help with learning but still need more testing.
4️⃣ New Science 🧬
Peptides and gene therapies are being studied to help with memory loss and aging brains — exciting, but still in labs!
5️⃣ Microdosing Psychedelics 🍄
Very tiny doses (100-300mg) of “magic mushrooms” or LSD that some adults use for creativity and mood. Scientists are still learning if it really works.
🌟 Possible Benefits (When Used Safely)
✅ More focus and alertness for study time or sports.
✅ Better memory and learning.
✅ A calmer mind — less stress or anxiety.
✅ Protection for your brain cells as you grow older.
⚠️ Drawbacks & Risks
Some drugs can cause fast heartbeat, anxiety, or trouble sleeping
Many lab nootropics have unknown long-term effects
Fake products online can be dangerous 🚫
And sometimes… people only think it works because they expect it to 😉
💡 Why Should You Care?
Your brain is like the boss of your body. 🧠
It controls how you think, move, learn, and feel.
Keeping it healthy means better mood, energy, and focus every day.
🍎 Brain-Boosting Foods to Try
Want a natural brain boost? Eat these regularly 👇
🥦 Broccoli – protects brain cells.
🍓 Berries – improve memory.
🥜 Nuts and Seeds – loaded with vitamin E and good fats.
🐟 Salmon or Tuna – rich in omega-3 fatty acids for focus.
🍫 Dark Chocolate – helps blood flow and mood (just a square or two!).
💧 Water! – your brain is about 75% water; stay hydrated to think clearly.
Coach’s Tip: Start with healthy habits first — sleep, real food, and movement — before trying supplements.
🔬 New Research Highlights
🧬 Peptides like KS-133 helped memory in animals — human trials next.
💡 NAD⁺ boosters may support aging brains but need more proof.
🧠 BDNF gene therapy looks safe but still experimental.
🍄 Nearly half of people who use psilocybin report microdosing — scientists are still testing if it really works.
🎯 Coach DC’s Takeaway
Before you buy a “smart pill,” remember:
✅ Healthy food feeds your brain.
✅ Exercise and sleep are real nootropics.
✅ Natural supplements can help — but they’re not magic.
