Here’s a few things I use that have really helped with brain fog, tiredness and mental focus. They really do work but are allegedly mild DHT inhibitors. Personally, I don’t feel worse since using these products, I’ve had no crashes during their month of use. It maybe worth having your DHT measured before and after use to see if they affect you in that way but one things for sure these supplements make a difference. The effect physically on cognitive function and general well being is much better than Lions Mane. I would like to use these daily but because of the DHT element, I take them several times per week instead. I was using 3000mg of Flax Seed Oil capsules spread out over the day for months, this helped with cognitive function, tiredness but the MCT oil is even better and works very quickly.
PVL Essentials 100 Percent Pure MCT Oil 1 Litre (use 1/2 teaspoons per drink, I’ve tried using a 1 tablespoon like recommended but it’s too strong a hit, I find it a much smoother experience using teaspoon measurements)
Check out Bulletproof’s range of brain oils, I don’t drink their coffee obviously
Extra Virgin Coconut Oil (spread this on toast with almond butter or put in a hot drink) - I was using this oil for about 6 mths during the early days of PFS before I knew I had the condition
Lucy Bee EVCO is delicious and best tasting oil on toast, RealFoodSource EVCO is a cheaper, effective alternative
Mix with
Teeccino, Mediterranean Herbal Coffee (Caffeine Free)
Madre Labs, CocoCardio (I only use half the recommended serving as this is plenty, it should last 2-3 mths)
I include stevia, honey, maple syrup, organic sugar, or kerrygold butter (grass fed) to sweeten. The use of butter is a recommendation from Bulletproof and it has to be grass fed butter, hence they use kerrygold.
