Nootropics Saved My Life
It all started when I was diagnosed with Adult ADD about 16 years ago.
Up to then I had no idea why I struggled with focus all my adult life.
I bought books on how to focus. And how to be a better executive. But I just didn’t get it. I thought it was a moral failing and I wasn’t good enough.
Until a psychiatrist told me I had Adult ADD and PTSD. He prescribed Ritalin. And for the first time in my adult life I could focus.
But two years later I grew tolerant to Ritalin and was about to panic because it was no longer working for me.
So I’m thinking, I finally found something that worked and now it doesn’t?
I was not going to accept that. So, I started researching how Ritalin worked. And found Ritalin was a dopamine reuptake inhibitor. If Ritalin didn’t work anymore, maybe I didn’t have enough dopamine in my brain?
Back to the research and I found I could supplement with L-Tyrosine to increase dopamine. I also found brain cell signaling was a problem with ADD. And that was dependent on acetylcholine.
More research and I learned that using CDP-Choline with ALCAR could increase acetylcholine.
I put together my first “nootropic stack” with L-Tyrosine, ALCAR and CDP-Choline. And Ritalin started working again.
And that was my introduction to “nootropics”. Although, I did not learn that word until several years later.
A few years after the ADD diagnosis I ended up in the ER. And was told I was hypothyroid. A full-page, two-column list of symptoms including brain fog and total memory loss.
I had trouble remembering dates and appointments, a failing business, and a crumbling marriage. I saw psychologists, doctors, endocrinologists, neuroscience specialists and therapists.
Two unrelated neurologists tested me for dementia, and early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. But it wasn’t that. The doctors admitted they didn’t know what was wrong and could not help me.
Once again, I was on my own. But was not about to give up. So, I started researching memory loss and how to get my memory back.
It took about 2 ½ years of experimenting with different supplements. But I finally got my life back and was healthy enough to get back to work.
Why I started Nootropics Expert
I started Nootropics Expert® in January 2016.
Because while trying to figure out how to get Ritalin working again. And then how to get my memory back. I could not find a book or a website that could help me.
But after a lot of agony and desperation, I finally found, and then read hundreds of clinical studies on PubMed.
First, I had to figure out how my brain worked. And then I had to hunt through another few hundred clinical studies to learn which supplements would work best to fix Ritalin tolerance, brain fog, chronic fatigue, and memory loss.
It took months of reading and learning to translate really complicated neuroscience into plain English. But I finally started to get the results I was looking for.
This stuff was hard!
It finally occurred to me that if I was having such a hard time trying to figure out how to use supplements to fix my own brain health issues – how was anyone else going to figure this stuff out?
That’s when I knew the world needed a one-stop resource like Nootropics Expert®.
One place where you can find the best nootropic supplements for autism, anxiety, ADHD, depression, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, OCD, PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injury, memory loss, or any other brain health problem.
