Speaker 1 0:01

Bro, I think I need something to help me stay on task, cause I keep getting distracted during these intros.

Speaker 2 0:05

Do you need some cognitive enhancements? I might I just might.

Speaker 1 0:12

This is our third time on this intro, that's right.

Speaker 2 0:15

Well, this is episode 96. We're talking about cognitive enhancers and new tropics, which we've talked about new tropics before Yep. But as we round out to episode 100 and get into the end of the year, I just wanted to cover what products we actually started using and kept using.

Speaker 1 0:32

Yeah, what are your vices, bro?

Speaker 2 0:33

That's right Not vices Tools Tools.

Speaker 1 0:36

Tools in the toolbox.

Speaker 2 0:37

Enhancers. So yeah, this episode's about cognitive enhancers and new tropics, but mostly about what new tools we got in the toolbox.

Speaker 1 0:46

I dig it bro.

Speaker 2 0:47

Let's dig in.

Speaker 1 0:47

Let's jump in, dive in.

Speaker 2 0:51

Dig, dive what is up Dodge palm Dive Dip dodge, I haven't watched that in so long.

Speaker 1 1:07

I'm Jonathan Noel.

Speaker 2 1:08

And I'm Brian Noel. This is the Focus Cast, where we help you reduce distractions, increase focus so you can live a life with Intentions we want you to I do. All right, so very simple. What are cognitive enhancers?

Speaker 1 1:23

OK. Cognitive enhancers, also known as smart drugs. They're substances that are sometimes prescribed by health care professionals to treat medical conditions that affect cognition.

Speaker 2 1:36

Yeah, so I know new tropics is like the cool kid on the scene, but cognitive enhancements.

Speaker 1 1:43

I've been around for a while.

Speaker 2 1:44

Long time. So thank Adderall, thank Ritalin.

Speaker 1 1:47

Yeah.

Speaker 2 1:48

Some of these drugs to help alter our cognitive state for an increase in performance.

Speaker 1 1:54

Basically, they took meth added what a couple extra carbon atoms. And then the pharmaceutical industry and then gave it to people and they were like, hey, it's not meth Instead, it's methylphenidate instead of fetamines, so anyway yeah, one example would be, like modafinol.

Speaker 2 2:16

Modafinol Modafinol, yeah. Originally developed to treat narcolepsy, it's sometimes used off label to enhance wakefulness and cognitive performance.

Speaker 1 2:28

Yeah, so.

Speaker 2 2:29

Adderall Ritalin, and I'd never even heard of this one, yeah.

Speaker 1 2:32

So we weren't really a go to the doctor kind of family.

Speaker 2 2:36

No.

Speaker 1 2:37

Unless, something was broken.

Speaker 2 2:38

Yeah.

Speaker 1 2:39

So we never ended up on any of these things.

Speaker 2 2:42

Nope.

Speaker 1 2:43

So what about new tropics? What's the difference between what's?

Speaker 2 2:46

the so new tropics often refer to as smart drugs, but the biggest difference in new tropics most of them are these are natural compounds. It's a broader term. Yeah.

Speaker 1 3:00

It encompasses the natural and the chemical the pharmaceutical ones. It's all of it. It's all of it, but when you go on Google and you search new tropics, typically a bunch of natural compounds come up.

Speaker 2 3:12

That's kind of the big thing right now yeah.

Speaker 1 3:15

It's hot on the scene all this stuff that people have been doing for years. You know the usual yeah. And it's like you take all this shit humans have been doing for thousands of years, put a fancy label on it, you know.

Speaker 2 3:27

Yeah, I mean, if you looked at marketing today's mushroom coffee was the early 60s cigarette commercials. Yeah, you know Pretty much Like some of those ads from the 50s and 60s are just Like this is so this makes you cool.

Speaker 1 3:44

Yeah, you've got to do this Like Crisco, crisco, you remember.

Speaker 2 3:47

Crisco commercials. I actually I've been on a couple of tangents, but if you go Google like 50s ads, it's some of the most comedic stuff that you'll ever see. Yeah, Like you know, want your wife to be happy, get her a better vacuum, and shit like that.

Speaker 1 4:03

Yeah, different times, simpler time.

Speaker 2 4:06

Yeah, Having problems, you know having sex with your wife, you know smoke marble, I'm just some funny shit, you know Van that was when, like there was, like like they learned how to manipulate us and there were no rules.

Speaker 1 4:21

Yeah, there weren't any regulations yet. That's amazing, so should. Paker quit working.

Speaker 2 4:26

Smoke a pack of marbles, that's right.

Speaker 1 4:30

That was the good old times. That's like did cigarettes even give you cancer? If they hadn't done the research yet? Maybe not.

Speaker 2 4:36

Maybe not, that's true. I did see sorry last tangent, but I did see a report that fries fried in vegetable oils causes several days, if not a week, of inflammation. But a cigarette will cause inflammation in the body for like an hour or two.

Speaker 1 4:57

So anyway, yeah. So what's some examples of like a natural chemical?

Speaker 2 5:03

natural compound, one that the majority of human beings consume on a daily basis caffeine that's right.

Speaker 1 5:09

Yeah, um, caffeine, I think it's just so normalized now and everyone's so desensitized to it. You don't even think about that. It is a drug. It is a drug, okay, and we?

Speaker 2 5:20

did an episode on caffeine and how. It's not that it makes you awake, it blocks your tired receptors. Yeah, adenosine yeah which is pretty cool, yeah, and you know I'm so tired, and then caffeine just comes and punches.

Speaker 1 5:33

I know the face Said you know what. You're tired receptors, not today.

Speaker 2 5:38

Yeah.

Speaker 1 5:39

Um Elthianine, yeah yeah, I've taken Elthianine. Makes me have weird ass dreams.

Speaker 2 5:46

Really yeah, so what are? The drinks that we got. Didn't? The cova drink that we got had a Elthianine in it. Maybe true cova, I think, or the second one I bought, I think, elthianine helps calm.

Speaker 1 5:58

It's usually paired with caffeine and like, because green tea naturally has Elthianine and caffeine, but together they work pretty synergistically nice, but Bacopa.

Speaker 2 6:12

Bacopa. Yeah herbal neutropic thought to improve memory and cognitive function. I haven't tried that which is on the list.

Speaker 1 6:19

Yeah, I mean we're just throwing out a couple. I mean there's, there's tons of them. Yeah, you know, I'd not heard of some of these. Some of them I know about. I know about ginko biloba.

Speaker 2 6:27

Yeah, that one.

Speaker 1 6:28

I feel like that's been around the block our mom had that in the herb cabinet. Yeah, and then paracetam. I've never even heard of that but, apparently it's one of the older og. New tropics, yeah, so anyway, take your pick, maybe some help. Ashwagandha I know some people take that. Yeah, what is it? Tyrosine, l, tyrosine, mm-hmm? There's all kinds of shit, yeah, and Everyone, everyone's body is different. Yeah so don't let someone in the internet tell you that you have to take something.

Speaker 1 6:57

That this is the only one. You just have to kind of Think about. What are you actually planning on using it for? What's? What's the goal? Yeah, and what. What works for you?

Speaker 2 7:07

Well, I mean, you know try and a organic compound is better than like trying. You know crystal math, crystal math.

Speaker 1 7:16

So yeah, you're gonna do much harm.

Speaker 2 7:19

Trying different organic compounds to see if it helps you. What's the um?

Speaker 1 7:23

what's the one students take, like when they're doing exams? Oh, it is at a roll, yeah, at a roll. Yeah, that's crazy. I've never taken it, but I've heard like people clean their whole house. Oh yeah, take an Adderall and like they'll clean the house for three hours straight.

Speaker 2 7:36

Yeah, shit like that. It's our pain the walls.

Discussion on Coffee, Supplements, and Electrolytes

Speaker 1 7:39

Yeah, that's weird. Yeah, that sounds like math. Not that I've done that, but that's what I imagine is, like you just start going. Yeah, so anyway, what about? What about us, bro? What do you use?

Speaker 2 7:50

So you know we've done a couple reviews on these, and some of these have become household staples for me. One of those is everyday dose, and that's mushroom coffee.

Speaker 1 7:58

Yeah, the mushroom coffee it, it's, it's legit.

Speaker 2 8:03

I mean, I can tell when I don't drink it and I do drink it. Yeah, I can tell when I just drink plain coffee. I mix, we Were I would. You would probably call us coffee snobs, considering we get our beans roasted from a friend, we use a French press, we grind it every week. Yeah and so I use two scoops of that and then a scoop of everyday dose, which is mushroom coffee with lion's mane and chocolate. Wonder your brands on fire, bro, damn son.

Speaker 2 8:32

And it's like the perfect mix and it's a really good cup of coffee.

Speaker 1 8:35

You're not throwing the Folgers and that the moldy plastic. 30 year old coffee maker.

Speaker 2 8:40

I it's, I guess I would be a coffee stop now, because I'm perfectly comfortable not drinking. I don't, fortunately, I Used to drink six cups of coffee a day. I don't. I drink, like usually, one before 7 am Now and that's pretty much it. So I don't. I don't if I miss coffee. I don't get headaches anymore like I don't. I don't have to have caffeine, but if I can't get good coffee, I just don't drink coffee.

Speaker 1 9:05

Yeah, folgers in the plastic is not coffee.

Speaker 2 9:08

That's fucking dog shit.

Speaker 1 9:09

That's not, I would even feed that to a dog?

Speaker 2 9:11

I hate it.

Speaker 1 9:11

Yeah, I think it's like the, the hotel coffee machine, and I've only I have traveled. I traveled for like 10 years. Yeah, you know, and I never drink hotel coffee, except for like three times where I was like, so I wasn't such a fucking hurry, yeah, but I swear you can just taste the mold inside. They don't watch that shit. No you know at the Holiday Inn Express that they're understaffed in like.

Speaker 1 9:35

Mississippi. They're not washing. They're not washing the coffee pots. No machines, no, they're nasty, nasty. It just tastes like burnt, like boiled peanut water. Yeah, oh, so gross.

Speaker 2 9:47

I can't even drink coffee, even if it's good coffee in a brand or a very clean rather the dishwasher drip. I can't even drink coffee out of a drip because for some reason, like the, it makes it more oily or something, and it's just. I can't, unless it's. French press aropress or drip, I I'm with you, I just, I just I'm just like why just not gonna drink it then?

Speaker 1 10:11

Yeah, I mean, if you're going to drink coffee every day, yeah, might as well be the best version of a cup of coffee.

Speaker 2 10:20

I mean, if you could, if I can start my day with the best version of coffee that I've ever had in my life, that's a good life, that's a great life. Yeah, yeah I mean that's where it started today.

Speaker 1 10:31

Not that I'm ripping on people who are in different situations, but you know, some people have to drink the Folgers.

Speaker 2 10:38

Yeah.

Speaker 1 10:38

That's just what they have access to.

Speaker 2 10:40

Yeah.

Speaker 1 10:40

So and that's fine.

Speaker 2 10:41

Yeah, all right, that's everyday dose.

Speaker 1 10:48

That was only one bullet.

Speaker 2 10:49

Next is Better Brand. So Better Brand is something that Instagram got me on this, and it's the Instagram ad where they showed this mucus and it was for better lungs and that you know. It was like, oh, this is so gross. That was the ad. It's like, if you take this stuff, it'll clear out your lungs. Well, it didn't do that for me. I didn't cough up mucus, but every year around Christmas, every time I got a cold, a cough would hang for like a month or two and then I could feel it. After seven to nine days the congestion start to break up and I'm just like. That feels like I'm going to dive pneumonia when I'm 60 if my lungs can't handle a cold.

Speaker 1 11:29

Now yeah, if they take that long to.

Speaker 2 11:31

Yeah, to de-congest the mucus. So I was like, all right, cool, I'll try this. Well, I think I've taken it consistently now for a year and a half.

Speaker 1 11:41

I don't know maybe a year.

Speaker 2 11:43

But I've got COVID a couple of times and a couple of colds and my lungs like two days after the sick sickness broke up, coughed it up, Very nice, and I didn't have that two week cough like immediate change and it's just an herbal supplement. And then they have the same brand, has what's called Better Mushrooms.

Speaker 1 12:07

You didn't know it's in it.

Speaker 2 12:08

No, I probably should have brought a bottle, but it's a better brand. Better brand is the company, better Lungs is the product, so it worked for me. I don't know what's in it. Better Lungs Instagram got me.

Speaker 1 12:22

I was like I didn't look at what was in there, I just take it I saw the ad and I was like, sure, I'll try that.

Speaker 2 12:25

And I did.

Speaker 1 12:26

It worked so anyway, yeah, athletic Greens.

Speaker 2 12:31

Yeah, that's the other one. We did a review on Athletic Greens and it's another product that I absolutely love.

Speaker 1 12:37

Yeah, it's like if you're trying to crush out a lot of work, it's nice for around like 2 o'clock.

Speaker 2 12:42

Yes.

Speaker 1 12:43

When you're really starting to get worn out.

Speaker 2 12:46

Yeah, and if you just don't like it's if you don't want to take 80 vitamins.

Speaker 1 12:51

That too.

Speaker 2 12:51

It has a lot of compounds in it from all and it's Huberman Labs had it as one of their main products for a long time, so it's obviously well known, very trusted, and I can. Now we've taken that for a year and I mix, so our kids have always taken gosh. I can't remember the name of it, but anyway, it's an herbal supplement. But so I mix my Athletic Greens and this other powder herbal supplement and then we have some mineral compound and I mix all that up with some ice and I put a little cherry juice, organic cherry juice or organic pineapple juice.

Speaker 2 13:37

Oh wow, shake that shit up, boom, and it's so refreshing. That's typically what I'll do for breakfast, like, and you know. I'll drink my coffee early and then you have that for breakfast, and then I'll have that before I head out Nice and if some mornings when I'm just like you know what I want a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and I have those mornings. And I eat a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit.

Speaker 1 14:01

I think everyone has that kind of morning at some point.

Speaker 2 14:04

And. I love it it tastes so great, but the difference in how I feel after a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit and versus your Athletic Greens.

Speaker 1 14:12

mineral powder it's mineral water.

Speaker 2 14:16

It's a big deal but anyway that's a staple. I hope that we are always able to afford, because it's like 60 bucks a month, so it's pretty pricey, but I hope we can always use that product because I love it.

Speaker 1 14:29

It's a great product. Yeah, another thing I mean for mountain biking we do it like, especially in summertime electrolytes. I wouldn't know, this is not really a new tropic, but it's definitely something we use. I mean it does help you focus, because when you don't drink electrolytes after a long ride and it's 95 degrees out, I can't think about, I can't, it's really hard, it's like I'm shutting down.

Speaker 2 14:48

Yeah. So what's the brand? The most recent brand? Do you remember the name of it? Because we went through a couple of electrolytes that were terrible.

Speaker 1 14:56

Well, element, yeah, except it has Stevia. Yeah, so take it or leave it with that, but it's super basic, it's just like salt, potassium the other one I can't think of and then Stevia.

Speaker 2 15:11

Yeah.

Speaker 1 15:11

And then like citric acid for flavors.

Speaker 2 15:14

Well, maybe she should do a product review on the one that my wife does. She does a monthly subscription and it's pre-workout and then she got an electrolyte mix and it's pretty. It didn't have all the stupid sugar in it.

Speaker 1 15:25

Yeah.

Speaker 2 15:25

What's the brand that I was using, that we had for a while, that we used to get at Costco.

Speaker 1 15:29

Oh, liquid IV, that has a lot of it. That is not a ton, I think. It's like what?

Speaker 2 15:32

7 grams per stick it's not bad, but it's just not, I don't know. It's just too sweet. Yeah, it's just like three grams of sugar. I think would be perfect yeah if you're riding, like I always like to put it in one of my water bottles and like that, and it's just like you just taste it. You're just like this isn't right. Peak tea, yeah we did a review on peak tea crystallized.

Speaker 1 16:01

Yeah, this is that's Peak. Tea is pretty bougie because they it's tea crystals. Yeah, it's like they make sure they batch test everything. So they make the tea and then test it and then do the crystals. So then you just put it in water so you don't have to worry about like heavy metals. Yeah pesticides or besides all that stuff sure.

Speaker 2 16:21

It's a little more expensive, but I think we said it was like a buck 80 a glass.

Speaker 1 16:26

Per serving yeah something like that cheaper than Going out, I guess.

Speaker 2 16:31

Yeah.

Speaker 1 16:32

This is what. What's the cheapest thing you can even get like at a Starbucks right now a Couple coffee is like 240.

Speaker 2 16:39

I'm a really small 180.

Speaker 1 16:40

Yeah, for an Americana tall. Yeah, that's what I used to get.

Speaker 2 16:45

Buck 80, I bet coffee was I Bet back in the day. Get you a cup of coffee for a nickel, yeah, anyway. Oh well, we're off the Neutropics. But just thinking about some products that we've we use to kind of impact overall health the the Berkey water filters all over that. Yeah, I've been using Berkey water filters all year, I think for two years now. Yeah, it's.

Speaker 1 17:16

Fluoride yeah. Yeah, fluoride is not. I mean, you know there's a lot of conspiracies around fluoride. Think whatever you want, I'm not drinking it personally. That's that's me. I don't want shit in the water. Yeah, playing it simple. I Don't want them putting chemicals in the water that turn the frogs. Gay, alex Jones.

Speaker 2 17:37

Thanks for that.

Speaker 1 17:39

But anyway, yeah, and Berkey's a good system.

Speaker 2 17:41

You know they're good filters and well they last, like those they're supposed to. The Brit is like you have to change it like every two months if you drink a lot of water. Yeah, and they're just not expensive, yeah, berkey water filters like Last a year or two. All right, so before we roll out here, bro, I want you to share your morning, your morning breakfast, liquid breakfast that you do.

Speaker 1 18:06

I absolutely love it. Yeah, all right. So I Typically drink tea yeah, you're but my tea or green tea, and I might throw some other shit in there for fun, maybe some like mints.

Speaker 2 18:20

Oh fun.

Speaker 1 18:20

Maybe some holy basil. Oh that's a party, some Tulsi, oh shit, I know.

Speaker 2 18:24

Tulsi.

Speaker 1 18:25

Tulsi and holy basil are the same. Um, I you know things like that. Maybe I'll even throw in some chamomile. So I've got that caffeine and the.

Speaker 2 18:34

Camamille to keep me chill focused as fuck yeah, and what about your coffee blend that? We always do this when we mountain bike now and we can't. This is our breakfast.

Speaker 1 18:46

So coffee for the tea? Yeah, and I put some salt in there. Yeah, look at us up, not a ton, it's not salt water and we're not talking table salt Celtic we're talking Celtic salt or Sea salt, yeah, not the bullshit. Morton's super refined, yeah, you know, extra iodine added. So straight to the wall hearts, yeah, heart walls. And then honey and coconut oil, yeah, boom. Now for coffee.

Speaker 2 19:15

I like butter and butter, yeah, everyone thinks we're weird and you got me on that, but I absolutely love it now. But instead of having breakfast, coffee every day dose, which is the mushroom blend, yeah, butter Honey a little bit of salt and honey for the sweetness. Yeah.

Speaker 1 19:33

I think it's fucking delicious. I like butter and coffee. Yeah, people are like oh my god. Just try it. I mean fuck it's. It's kind of like the inverse of heavy cream. It's like heavy cream has a lot of fat in it. Yeah, and, as you know, milk content. Well, butter still has Milk content.

Speaker 2 19:52

Yeah, it's not all fat.

Speaker 1 19:53

Right, because when you make clarified butter you're like cooking off the liquid, so then you just have pure fat. So the actual butter itself does have some milk content. Still nice, it's not pure 100% fat, so it's it's. It goes in the coffee, you know it's like, it's like creamer.

Speaker 2 20:13

But I that butter like hard core creamer, yeah. And when we camp and we're going mountain biking, it's perfect, because when you drink it about 30 seconds after you consume it, you take a dump. You got to take a dump. Yeah so you got to get that pre-dump right out.

Speaker 2 20:28

You got to and then it's, it's filling, yeah, like, but you don't have this heavy Like. We went road, we wouldn't, we ate. We made some sandwiches. We usually ride the morning. We rode after lunch one day this was a couple weeks ago and we made a sandwich, ate a sandwich, and I was out on the trail and that sandwich turned into a fucking break. Yeah and I was like I was miserable.

Speaker 1 20:48

I don't like mountain biking if after you eat yeah you know it's basically on a mostly empty stomach, because when you get the best results, yeah so this is like the perfect breakfast. This is my breakfast. I don't eat breakfast. Yeah you know, for years I ate breakfast. But since I know how to cook, you know, I spend all this time making Amazing you know potato hashes with amazing sauces, and you don't want to wake up and do the same thing.

Speaker 2 21:13

Eggs on top. It's too much fucking time. Yeah, it's too much.

Speaker 1 21:16

It's too much yeah it's too much food and I don't need that much food.

Speaker 2 21:20

Yeah.

Speaker 1 21:20

I mean, if you're, if you're doing a 30 mile hike, eat breakfast, yeah, you know. If you are a roofer, yeah, and you're hauling around bags of shingles all day, you probably want breakfast. Yeah, but for me, unless I'm doing something crazy, yeah, I'm not typically eating breakfast. If I knew I was gonna be hiking, you know, 15 miles a day for like five days straight, you're gonna be so fucking hungry.

Speaker 2 21:44

They're gonna eat every time they're not like from burning calories.

Speaker 1 21:47

Yeah, you're gonna be doing. You're either gonna be hiking or eating, yeah. So it's your bone, it's your body. Do whatever feels right. Yeah. But if I'm editing videos, I don't need biscuits and gravy sitting on the.

Speaker 2 22:00

Tummy. So, anyway, all right. So, last but not least, this one everyone, this is like probably the most marketed brand, especially since Joe Rogan got behind it. But Alfa brain, I'm never taking it. I haven't either. I have put it in my cart and almost bought it a lot of times, but it's like a hundred and it's like I Think it's like $60 a month. It's another one of those. So it's like $150 when you buy a three-pack.

Speaker 1 22:25

I think the government's just gonna put us on a Subscription, monthly subscription, to breathe air at some point. Everything is a subscription now, yeah, yeah, like our toilets.

Speaker 2 22:35

They're talking about carbon tax, carbon taxing Based on different things, so, I'm sure, carbon tax based on Our weight at that point in size, at some point I think everyone just kind of stops doing it all.

Speaker 1 22:50

It's good, old-fashioned cool.

Speaker 2 22:54

Not even a coup. I'm just saying like good, old-fashioned, sit, sit down, what's it called, where you just sit and sit in one area, I Don't know what that's people in the street.

Speaker 1 23:03

Is that was? That's a form of protest.

Speaker 2 23:06

Yeah, oh, I didn't know climate.

Speaker 1 23:08

People sitting in the street. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm just saying we stop listening to politicians.

Speaker 2 23:13

Yeah, oh yeah, a Shun, there we go.

Speaker 1 23:17

a good old-fashioned shun, we shun them, we shun. X communicate, the X communicate.

Speaker 2 23:23

And they're like hey, you're supposed to, and you're like anything good. You hear anything yeah.

Speaker 1 23:30

Anyway. So anyway, that's a whole nother deal. Yeah, keytones yeah, alpha, alpha brain. I've never tried it, I'm. They have shitloads of reviews on Amazon.

Speaker 2 23:40
