Lucas Aoun is Australia’s leading Biohacker with extensive experience researching Nootropics and other performance-enhancing compounds
He discusses with Angela specific Nootropics that can enhance focus and those that can help overcome procrastination and support with overcoming the fear response
Nootropics and their ability to enhance performance can really make a difference and this is an opportunity to hear great informative content about how to effectively bio-hack your brain for enhanced performance
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Neurotransmitters govern the ability to focus and not get distracted. The top two are dopamine and acetylcholine
- Optimising dopamine function is about providing the brain with the pre cursers to make its own dopamine
- Bromantane is a synthetic adaptogen that can help to combat stress and is restorative over time
- Bromantane is smart in the way it works and over time will build up your threshold for releasing dopamine
- Bromantane has a long half-life and takes time to be absorbed by the body providing longer periods of focus
- The nootropic Uridine monophosphate is really good at defeating procrastination.
- There is a range of nootropics specifically designed to banish the fear-based response
- When you are nervous before an event there are key physiological events happening in the body, an increase in the sympathetic nervous system, higher levels of adrenalin and epinephrine and an increase in glutamate activity
- Taurine is a nootropic that’s parasympathetic activating and Gaba promoting and lowers adrenaline
- Blackseed oil has a component, thymoquinone, that research has shown can help reduce fear and modulate the Gaba system
- Sprint training is the best form of exercise for hormonal output, particularly for men
BEST MOMENTS
‘Nootropics can target and upregulate the production of these two critical neurotransmitters’
‘If you’ve got a deadline to meet Uridine is my go to’
‘I like pushing the body to its maximum capacity, allowing for rest’
‘The more dysphoric your exercise the more euphoric you feel post exercise’
