We all want to optimize and supercharge our brain health naturally and now there is an entire category of lifestyle and supplement protocols dedicated to doing just that. It’s called nootropics and a subject we’ve covered previously on this podcast in Episode 1008, Episode 989, and Episode 949. And today we have Certified Functional Medicine Practitioner and Certified Nutritional Therapist Evan Brand from NotJustPaleo.com and the man behind the microphone on the popular iTunes health podcast called Not Just Paleo sharing his knowledge and experience about nootropics. Evan has written a book all about it entitled The Everything Guide To Nootropics: Boost Your Brain Function with Smart Drugs and Memory Supplements and he’s here to unveil his best brain-boosting tips.
Listen in as Jimmy and Evan talk about some of his most memorable podcast guests like Dr. Richard Hansler, how he got interested in mind-altering and brain enhancement, why the term “smart drug” is a bit misleading about nootropics, what the original intention of nootropics was supposed to be, the side effects of taking stronger nootropics, why you can take more natural forms of nootropics and get good results, whether ketones can be a natural nootropic, the reason why our brains aren’t optimized and need to be boosted, the tests he runs on people to determine if they have adrenal fatigue, why it’s a good idea to work with a functional medicine practitioner to get good analysis of their testing, how mainstream medicine has utterly failed on chronic disease management, whether there are basic nootropics everyone should be taking, the work of Paul Stamets on medicinal mushrooms, the positive impact of phosphatidylserine on Alzheimer’s disease, the conflicting studies on nootropics that depends on the patient, the role that dietary fat plays in making nootropics work well, and the positive impact this subject has had on Evan’s life.
