hey there everyone this is michael dougal and during this video i'm going to share with you
three nootropics you can consider taking to improve your motivation levels so these are
appropriate if you're somebody who is just not motivated whatsoever or even if you're
somebody who's uh somewhat of a motivated person that wants a little bit of boost of focus these
three are really going to help you out they've definitely helped me out i'm in a 100 commission
based sales job so i need to be motivated i need to be ambitious i need to wake up every day and
actually want to achieve something and finish the day feeling like i've gotten a good amount of work
done one of the biggest problem with nootropics that people do not take into consideration is
that they may actually cause demotivation there are several nootropics which are very popular
things like l-theanine lion's mane as well as bacopa um even ashwagandha that people
are ingesting in order to achieve feeling of relaxation and decreasing anxiety levels but what
they're not considering is the fact that these neotropics are as well causing them to be somewhat
demotivated and they're lacking the ambition that they need in order to move forward so first things
first i want you to really look at the nootropics the supplements that you're currently taking
and ask yourself if you really need to be taking them if your goal is to be more motivated because
i can guarantee you that these few nootropics i'm going to share with you will work better if you're
not using them alongside something which is going to calm you down and make you a little bit relaxed
so the first one is going to be piracetam and the way that i initially came across brass time
was um when i was a student i was looking for something which would help me with learning
and one of the things i really liked about piracetam was the versatility with this supplement
it not only helped me to be able to focus for very long periods and have like study sessions of going
two to three hours where i was easily able to get through material and comprehend it but at the same
time i was able to remember things a lot better i felt like my brain was just switched on when i
was using it and then um after that period when i was studying and i got into my current profession
which is selling homes i'm a residential real estate agent i saw that prestatime could really
be used to not only help me with learning and getting the training around uh scripts and how
to make presentations but as well in taking action and that's something process time is really known
to helping people out with is to go out there and actually execute you'll find like one of the
bad side effects of process time is that you will neglect your social life and you're only going to
be focused on let's say like making more money or improving your grades piracetam may have a little
bit of a bad reputation because of the fact that it takes a long time to work and let's face it
we all like the immediate gratification we like taking a supplement and feeling results instantly
and with prostam unfortunately you have to be a little bit patient for most users they they
realize it works or they feel something after two weeks of consistent use so something to really ask
yourself before you go ahead and you try press time is can i be disciplined and stick to a
schedule where i'm taking process time at least once a day you're gonna be better off taking it
two to three times a day that's how i'm typically taking it so that's one gram twice a day alongside
with choline so choline is a nutrient found in egg yolks and is good in supplemental form as well so
by using prostatem along with choline you're going to ensure that you're getting all the
prostatitis benefits in a noticeable way so i'm i like taking alpha gpc i've talked about alpha gpc
in this video here this is my favorite form of choline so a common way of using these two
supplements together is 800 to 1000 milligrams of prostatem along with 150 milligrams of alpha gpc
twice a day i think you can get away with taking it three times a day if you're somebody who works
very long days i'm talking like 12 hour plus work days and expect that you'll start to notice press
time working for most people it's going to be at that two-week mark you may be one of the lucky
individuals that's a bit more sensitive to pirates time in which case you'll find you're a little bit
sharper especially during conversations that's one of the first indications that prose time
is working is that as you're talking to people you'll feel like your verbal fluency is better
you're asking better questions you're able to recall things quite easier compared to usual and
perhaps time note the good thing about it is that there aren't any major side effects that are often
reported some users do experience like nausea or headaches but usually when that happens it's
because they're not taking enough choline along with it so that's something to definitely consider
and i will add that piracetam is a great nootropic in the sense like it's most often
okay to use with other nootropics i mean there's some nootropics out there that it's like don't
have it with anything else because it's so strong no perot's time is not like that it's a great like
foundational nootropic supplement in which you can build a stack with process time being your
base and adding things on top of it and it makes it good in the sense like it has this nice synergy
with other nootropics some people note that other nootropics work better when they pair it with
parasite and choline nootropic number two to consider using for improving your motivation
levels would be l-tyrosine l-tyrosine is a little bit different than piracetam in the sense that
piracetam is like a synthetic nootropic whereas l-tyrosine it's naturally occurring it's not
man-made without tyrosine it's actually found in high amounts in things like chicken breast
especially egg whites however with tyrosine you will get the benefits by taking it fasted
whereas with process time you can take it faster you can also take it with a meal people often ask
michael can't i just get my l-tyrosine from eating chicken but it's really when you take it fasted
that you get the alertness you get the motivation boost something i don't like about l-tyrosine is
that it doesn't really have that build-up effect that you get with piracetam so with practice time
it's nice in the sense like as you use it day by day you start to feel it working more so like it's
building up in your system but l-tyrosine is more like one of those supplements you would just kind
of like um have for when you need it because uh upon ingestion of something like 750 milligrams
to one gram of l-tyrosine you will feel alert you will feel very motivated and you have this great
ability to focus it's very helpful for those of you who do have like adhd that may not want to get
on adhd meds you'll find l-tyrosine is definitely like a good aid especially at the end of the day
when you feel like a little bit of stress a little bit of fatigue you'll find that your concentration
just goes right back up as if it's the morning so it's super powerful and what it is it's a
supplement which is going to improve dopamine levels so dopamine is one of the very important
neurotransmitters specifically for improving motivation and understanding that like when you
execute on the task it will result in you having a specific award this notropic will really transform
you if you're somebody with low energy levels that's where i can see l-tyrosine being very
helpful because it more so works on that system of like energy motivation focus it doesn't really
help you um improve your thinking or it won't really necessarily help you like solve a problem
that you couldn't solve prior i mean like for example let's say you're writing an exam and you
come across a really difficult question it's not like you can pop a pill of l-tyrosine and suddenly
solve it no for something like that you would need something to work on your creativity maybe
like lion's mane i don't recommend people use it every single day because of course it does improve
dopamine levels like i mentioned you're gonna be much better on having like lifestyle you can say
practices or daily habits that are gonna result in you having higher dopamine levels instead things
like exercising or things like eating a protein rich diet the way that i'm personally using it
is i'm using l-tyrosine once in the morning along with some caffeine pre-workout that's
how i like l-tyrosine it seems to make caffeine a lot more effective so i'm using uh one gram
of l-tyrosine around 10 o'clock am along with 200 milligrams of caffeine and then later on the day
sometimes you can consider it optional around five o'clock p.m i'll take um 750 milligrams
of l-tyrosine and getting a good boost of focus and nootropic number three for improving your
motivation levels is going to be noopept and the way that i came across noopept was really like i
kept on reading about it there was articles there was pop-ups everyone was talking about it uh this
was back around 2015 and then i gave it a shot and i noticed like my sales they really increased
and i really like the fact that when i was taking noopept it seemed like i was only focused on those
really really high priority activities i mean we all have like a to-do list but if we get down to
it and we analyze that to do this we realize there's only like one or two things that are
not important and noopept helped me to really zone in on those and something that i like
about noopept that's unique to other nootropics is that it will help you to execute while as well
helping you a lot with learning and the way that it does that is by increasing bdnf bdnf stands
for brain derived nootropic factor basically fertilizer for the brain improved neuroplasticity
with prostatam the biggest critique is that it's really not that effective noopept it has very
similar benefits to prostatem but it's a lot more effective some users even say it's like 10 times
more potent than process time and that really can be said to be true because like i mean look at the
size of this bottle it's very small one dose is only 10 milligrams so if you're not getting or
noticing the benefits of frost time you may want to consider noopept but stronger nootropics are
often going to have stronger side effects so with noopept it's pretty common that users experience
headaches if that is the case then you may want to adjust the dose when i first came across noopept
i made a big mistake i was taking a very high amount like 60 to 70 milligrams of noopept every
single day and the problem with that was was that i was starting to build a tolerance i needed more
and more noopept and then after a couple of months when i took time off noopept i definitely noticed
that i was like nowhere near as sharp as i was when i first started it so it's like my brain
got used to being stimulated and then when i took the stimulant out being nupat because it is kind
of mentally stimulating i wasn't able to kind of um perform on all cylinders and be that effective
so i've learned to use noopept in a kind of like a lower amount nothing too small but something like
30 to 40 milligrams per day so for users that are new to noopept i would strongly advise you to be
very conservative start off by taking one capsule if you notice the benefits and you have longer
work days then you can consider taking noopept twice a day because with noopept you will find
there is an acute benefit there is something you notice short term whereas with process time it's
more like you have to take it for a couple of weeks to find something with noopept once you
take it you should feel a little bit more focused for about three hours or so and like i've known
about noopept for about six years i've spent a lot of time on it i've spent time off of it
and i've concluded this is definitely a money maker for me so i would advise you just to like
pay less attention to how you feel when you're using noopept and have an objective way of
measuring okay does this thing really work look at your grades for example if you're a student
look at your income if you're in sales or you have some sort of like way to measure your results and
your output each day because i guarantee you you should notice something people often say
like michael i don't know what's happening but i'm taking noopept and my business is doing
a lot better i can't emphasize enough to look at the other nootropics you're considering and
understand are you taking supplements to improve motivation are you taking a specific supplement to
decrease anxiety and be more relaxed because what so was was the way that i built my business was i
started off using nootropics that would help me with motivation focus sharpness and i did that
for a few years and then it was afterwards after a few years when i had a bit of a business i was
a bit more established that i started adding adaptogens and started adding nootropics that
would help me to be calmer be more relaxed and enjoy my life maybe have a bit more balance but
if you're somebody who's just you know really trying to be productive then definitely look
at the other nootropics you're taking consider removing them or take them like a few times a
week instead so for instance ashwagandha being a very popular supplement to achieve feeling more
relaxed decreasing stress levels you can get away with taking ashwagandha just a few days a week for
example when you need it maybe when you have like a very intense workout and you need to decrease
your cortisol levels a little bit or improve your testosterone levels then ashwagandha can be a
great nootropic and i've talked about it in depth during this video here and i hope you all found
