Essentials: Control Your Brain Chemistry for Focus, Motivation & Well-Being

“motivation. And again, it's fast acting. So my particular protocol, the one I use, is I'll take phenylethylamine at dosages of about 300 to 600 milligrams along with some L-tyrosine, or I'll take it on its own with a molecule or I should say a compound that we'll talk about a little bit later as it relates to acetylcholine, alpha GPC.”

“Some people take it and feel absolutely terrible, but some people do use them as cognitive enhancers. Supplements that I have used and do use for increasing acetylcholine are things like alpha-GPC or huprazine. Alpha-GPC is in the choline pathway such that more acetylcholine is synthesized after you ingest it.”

“Some people experience a little bit of an emotional or and or I should say energetic crash. Some people don't. And then the other supplement that I certainly use and that I know a number of other people use is more fast acting but more potent, which is phenyl ethylamine. This relates to the so-called PEA molecule, PPEA.”

“a little bit later as it relates to acetylcholine, alpha GPC. But tyrosine and phenyl ethylamine, taken alone or together, will make you feel more motivated and more alert, more willing and able to lean into particular motivated behaviors, whether or not they're physical or cognitive.”

“yet on this podcast, is Inositol, in particular Myo-Inositol. Myo-Inositol can have the effect of increasing serotonin and other neurochemicals, but primarily, at least in terms of the neuromodulators discussed today, serotonin.”

“some L-tyrosine, or I'll take it on its own with a molecule or I should say a compound that we'll talk about a little bit later as it relates to acetylcholine, alpha GPC. But tyrosine and phenyl ethylamine, taken alone or together, will make you feel more motivated and more alert, more willing and able to lean into particular motivated behaviors, whether or not they're physical or cognitive.”

“This is actually the outside of a velvety bean that has been extracted and put into a supplement. Mecunipurines is actual L-DOPA. It's 99% L-DOPA, which is a prescription drug that is given for Parkinson's and for other purposes where increasing dopamine is important.”

“However, some people will chew nicoret or other nicotine-type gums. Some people are very sensitive to ingested nicotine. Some people take it and feel absolutely terrible, but some people do use them as cognitive enhancers.”
