There is a conspiracy that implants will some day be used to control the masses. Without the microchips individuals would be denied access to anything...including their bank accounts:

Well, I've learned that a nootropics regime is something that really needs to be tailored to the individual because of the diversity of biochemical baselines.

So you experiment and create a "stack" that best benefits your goals.

Generally, these fall into certain general categories:
Cognition/decision making/focus/flow and thinking
Learning and memory
Anxiety and Depression
Energy and motivation
Brain repair and maintenance

You have to be careful, because the effectiveness of certain chemicals are reduced if they are duplicated

Hey. I like the energy and motivation one. 😃

😃

I could sure use brain enhancement. 🙄

There are a wide range of natural and synthetic nootropics. Some are very common.

Caffine, gensing, ginko biloba, creatine, nicotine

L-Theanine

Hey. I already use caffeine and nicotine. Lol

hehe

Others are synthetic such as Noopept, Phenotropil, Piracetam, Modafinil, etc.

Oh my 😧

The idea is to decide what categories you want to enhance

And keep a log of what you use and dosages

and note changes

It's obviously perceptual, you can only measure certain things like heart rate, blood pressure, weight, glucose levels, blood-O2, etc

You can't "measure" feelings.

But you can test improvements in memory using apps

or just simple card games

Are we talking mood enhancement?

Some can help releive anxiety and help with depression.

As least as far as the brain structure.

Some things require more than just nootropics.

Such as deliberate behavioral modification, exercise, your dietary consumption, etc

Isn’t there something about creating new pathways?

All of these things have an effect on the brain and can absolutely cause it to rewire

Self-hacking

Some of these things, such as caffeine, are countered by the brain. Meaning their effects can change or be reduced over time.

A person who drinks a pot of coffee a day will find themselves receiving little to no benefit from it because the brain blocks it

You have to detox from it to reset

For a heavy caffeine addiction this can take up to 2 months

But usually 10 to 14 days is enough to let the brain stop defending

A really popular one right now is Lion's Mane.

That is reasonable.

Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant of the methylxanthine class. It is the world's most widely consumed psychoactive drug.

Stimulants can certainly cause anxiety in a brain that does not need it.

It also increases blood pressure and can inhibit calcium absorption

For most people, it is not harmful to consume up to 400mg of caffeine a day. If you do eat or drink too much caffeine, it can cause health problems, such as:
▶ Restlessness and shakiness
▶ Insomnia
▶ Headaches
▶ Dizziness
▶ Rapid or abnormal heart rhythm
▶ Dehydration
▶ Anxiety
▶ Dependency, so you need to take more of it to get the same results
