Today I'm chatting with David Tomen, creator of NootropicsExpert.com and author of Secrets of the Optimized Brain and Head First. After struggling with Adult ADD, depression, memory loss, chronic fatigue, and other neurological symptoms, David used nootropic supplements to turn his life around, and he has since dedicated his life to helping others do the same. In this episode, David shares the story of how he fixed his brain and got off of his medications using nootropics, and how you can also repair and optimize your brain. He discusses what nootropics are, how to figure out the best nootropics for you, and which nootropics to use for different conditions. We talk about nootropics for PTSD, anxiety, memory, focus, and ADD, what to look for when choosing a supplement brand, and much more.
