[English]

Hey, how you doing recently? Do you feel

like your brain maybe not worked too

good? Do you feel like a dumb dumb?

Maybe you feel like you're not even

scratching the surface of what you're

capable of. And if you just somehow un

your brain, you could actually do the

things that you want to do and you would

be motivated to do them. That was me

about 2 months ago. I legitimately felt

like I was dying, like something was

wrong with me. It felt like my house was

poisoning me and I was slowly being

drained of all of my IQ points until one

day I kind of just woke up and said to

myself, I'm tired of this. I got stuff

to do. I want to feel like a human being

who's thriving. Today I feel incredible.

So, I just want to share with you guys a

lot of the things that helped me feel

less mentally destroyed and how I sort

of rebuilt my motivation system, gave

myself more mental and physical energy

throughout the day, so that hopefully

you guys can feel a lot better too if

that is you. Okay, so the number one

thing that's been helping me recently,

and this is going to sound really weird,

I've been consciously brain dead. What

the hell do I mean by that? Well, what I

mean is that if you've been in a long

period of inaction, you've probably been

on the internet a lot. The issue for

most of us is that we've accumulated so

much information on the internet that I

guarantee you every single point you've

ever learned has been contradicted by

some other thing that you've learned.

So, you literally don't know what to do

anymore. This tactic is an actual

strategy in propaganda. This information

overload, this demoralization. We don't

know what's true. We don't know what's

helpful. And we think like maybe it

doesn't matter, maybe nothing matters.

And in a way, you're right. The answer

to being more productive in the year of

our Lord 2025 is to flip a switch in

your brain where you're no longer

consulting the internet or outside

information in order to do basically

anything. Become brain dead. Become an

actual Neanderthal and do things the

stupid way.

Do you have to write an essay for

school? You don't know how to start. You

don't know the perfect angle. Maybe it's

an essay about Genghaskhan. Sit down at

your computer and write it the brain

deadad way. Genghaskhan was this guy who

is really important and he did all these

things and he had all these wives. Total

womanizer. Had like a hundred children,

maybe a thousand children, 10,000

children. Anyway, it's pretty crazy. He

did this and this and that. You have to

keep it in your mind to proactively dumb

yourself down. Cut through the noise and

do stuff. And then what you'll find is

while you're doing it, you'll not really

want to be an absolute dumb dumb about

it. You'll employ whatever strategies

feels right to you, but you'll only do

that if you're proactively engaged in

the thing anyways. And then you can call

upon outside resources to help you do

that thing better. But until then, go

and do it the stupid way. Another thing

that's been insanely helpful to me is

that I've dialed in my circadian rhythm.

Dialing in your circadian rhythm is

probably the easiest possible way you

can feel infinitely better. And it

doesn't need to be super complicated. I

basically did three things that have

really helped me get higher quality

sleep, longer sleep, and deeper sleep.

The first thing is I solved the issue of

my bright room. So, basically, I don't

have a room. I just have an upper floor.

Oh, poor me. I've been sleeping on this

loft and it's not really enclosed and

there are like 16 different windows so

that when the sun comes up in the

morning and I still want to be asleep, I

wake up anyways or I stay asleep but my

brain knows that it's bright through my

eyelids. So, I'm not going to be

sleeping very deep when that's

happening. So, I said to myself, do I

buy curtains for all of these windows?

That's probably the smart thing to do,

but I'm not very smart. The second thing

I thought is like, oh, maybe I get one

of those bed curtains that goes all the

way around like in those haunted

mansions. But that just creeps me out

and I didn't want to do that. But the

third idea was my best idea. I just

figured why don't I bring the curtains

closer, put them on my face. I bought a

sleep mask. They're like $9 on Amazon. I

would highly recommend them so that it

stays dark for you for as long as you

want until you're ready to wake up and

blast your retinas with some sun, which

by the way is my second tip. Within 30

minutes of waking up, go outside. You

don't have to stare at the sun, although

some people like Andrew Huberman will

tell you stare at the sun, but just be

outside. Have the sun in your face. Let

your body know that it's time to wake

up. Do that consistently over a few

days, few weeks. Your body will get the

message. it'll know that whatever your

consistent wake up time is is time to

give you energy. And the third thing I

did is I stopped abusing caffeine. And I

didn't even know I was abusing caffeine.

I was using it wrong. And changing this

one little thing made a huge difference

and helped mitigate my afternoon crash.

So what I did is as soon as I wake up, I

set a timer for 90 minutes. During those

90 minutes, I can do whatever I want.

What I typically do is I make myself a

cup of decaf coffee. The reason I

started doing this is because when you

first wake up, it takes about 90 minutes

for your brain to purge itself of

adenazine. Adenazine is a molecule that

makes you feel sleepy. So, you got to

wait 90 minutes for your body to wake

you up naturally. The problem is that

most coffee drinkers like to go straight

for the coffee. And coffee has caffeine

and caffeine binds to adenazine. It

holds it captive so that your brain

can't purge it. Once the caffeine wears

off, the adenazine is still there and

you feel really, really tired when that

happens. So, the meta if you're a coffee

drinker is set a timer for 90 minutes

and have a decaf coffee. That way, you

still think you're getting coffee. You

don't have to change your lifestyle too

much. And once the 90 minutes is up, I

go straight for the regular calf coffee

and it's nothing but actual energy

without the adenazine crash. It's what

you think coffee should feel like but

never does. Another thing that I didn't

know is that I have mad allergies, bro.

Turns out that when you move to the

forest and there's scotch broom

everywhere and other dubious flora, you

might start getting allergic reactions.

And most people when they think of

allergies, they think of, you know, a

stuffy nose, maybe you're starting to

tear up and you're getting congested. I

don't really get that. What I get is

brain fog. I get I just feel lethargic,

chronically tired. So, I started taking

Claritin, low ratadine, and holy smokes,

I think I gained 40 IQ points. So, this

just goes to show you your brain is a

physical organ. It is an organ attached

to the other organs in your body. And if

your other organs are in distress, your

brain will probably not work so good.

>> It is an organ, certainly more delicate

and complicated than a kidney or muscle.

>> But Joey, what about my phone? I just

spend so much time on social media and I

don't know what to do. It's ruining my

life. Well, I cut my screen time by

about 80% using this one simple trick.

Tim Cook hates me. Go into your

settings, accessibility,

display and text size, color filters,

on grayscale. So, I set my phone to

grayscale recently and I barely pick up

my phone anymore. I mean, I still pick

it up and I can still check on things. I

can check my email. I can still use my

phone as normal. I can go on YouTube. I

can go on Instagram. I can do whatever I

want. The thing is, I don't because it's

boring now. I'm still getting all of the

information. It's just less fun. And

that's exactly the point. And the nice

thing is, if you really need to know the

color of something, you can just go into

your settings and flip it back.

But it's one of those things that you're

not going to stick to if you just like

looking at your phone a lot. you know,

you just love spending so much time on

your phone and you think it's very

valuable and very fun for you and it's

important for you. But if you suspect

that you're spending a lot more time on

your phone than you would like and you

want to lock in and do things that are

more important than your phone, then

this is a great way to spend less time

on your phone while not really feeling

like you're modifying your lifestyle too

much. I've also been keeping up with my

supplement stack, which used to be a lot

of things, but now it's very basic.

Okay, it's a lot. Ew.

What the [ __ ] Okay, so every morning I

have like five drops of vitamin D3. I am

overdosing. I I don't know if I would

recommend that. I'm not recommending

what you do. I'm just saying what I do.

I also take two of these. This is Mutant

Multi Athletes Vitamin Plus. I have no

association with any of these. One of

the more important ones I take that I

would highly recommend is cod liver oil.

I take four of these a day, which is

just the recommended dose. This one's by

Carlson. And I usually get the soft gels

because then you don't actually have to

taste fish. You can just kind of knock

it back with water. And the thing I love

about cod liver oil is it makes your

brain work really good. And that's been

proven by science. It's one of the

richest natural sources of vitamin A and

D, both of which have a huge effect on

dopamine receptor density, meaning

you'll have more dopamine receptors to

receive the dopamine, meaning that

you'll be more motivated to do what you

want to do. The other thing I've been

taking is 5 milligs of creatine per day.

Creatine is probably one of the most

powerful neutropics. Most people just

use it for bodybuilding because it can

aid in explosive power. But the thing a

lot of people don't know is that it

increases your short-term memory and

your brain is a creatine hog. Your brain

actually uses a lot of creatine. So by

supplementing it, your brain will work

good. And the final thing that I take is

ZMX, which is zinc, magnesium, and

vitamin B6. I do find that this one

makes quite a big difference. Magnesium

helps me relax at night and help me fall

asleep. And then vitamin B6, I don't

know, it just makes me feel good. Just a

quick update, I also started taking

Tongat Ali.

My dog doesn't like that I started

taking it. And this is for testosterone

optimization. That's my supplement

stack. So yeah, hopefully all of this

stuff gives you some ideas, some

mindsets, some resources, some little

tips and tricks to help you feel like

your brain is being utilized better so

that you have more motivation and energy

all the time.

Oh, hello. So, a lot of you didn't even

get notified that I posted my last

video. I posted it like 3 weeks ago. So,

you can check that out right here. It

might be very useful for you.
