I could be like a laser in terms of focus , I could exert even more effort , put on some music and I could achieve even better performance . And then I also discovered that I could export that protocol of caffeine or bamate and various supplements to my cognitive work . So I was when I was studying or writing papers or writing grants or in the laboratory , when I was doing experiments with my hands in those days when , you know , cutting brain tissue and staining it and working really long hours .
There's a baseline level of caffeine that just allows us to function . If we're a perpetual user of caffeine , I talked a lot about this on the episode in caffeine . But the key here is be cautious , I would say be very cautious about stacking and layering in too many dopamine peak inducing behaviors all at once on a regular basis .
But of course , I'm always mindful to also include workouts or runs or bouts of cognitive work . So that could be grant writing , prepping for a podcast , et cetera where I don't do anything prior , maybe just my caffeine because I have a baseline level of caffeine that I use each day to function like many people . There's a baseline level of caffeine that just allows us to function .
I can run further . And then I also discovered that if I were to take a pre workout energy drink or I took say 300 mg of alpha G PC and 500 mg of phenylethylamine and perhaps even 500 mg of tyrosine and perhaps did that alongside the caffeine in the Monte then . Yes , absolutely .
Doesn't interfere with my sleep . I might do a hike without caffeine . But if I'm in a weight trainer , I'm gonna run , I tend to drink coffee beforehand or have your m or if I occasionally meaning about once every third , sometimes every other , but usually about every third workout , I'll take 300 mg of alpha G PC , maybe occasionally , maybe every third or fourth workout .
