Switching to vegetarian diet. This gave me a huge energy boost for about 3 months. I wish I could recreate this experience. Intermediate fasting 16/8. I skip breakfast mo to fr. This gives me lots of energy until late afternoon. Alpha GPC and L-TYROSIN supplements for focus and alertness. Since I take those I can really easy go into the zone

I found the same eating vegetarian when I tried it a while back I think it was due to eating less heavy foods in general and less oil/grease

Just so you're aware, as I stopped taking Alpha GPC because of this, but Alpha GPC has been possibly implicated in adverse cardiovascular events. "Recently, concerns have been raised about the potential of alpha-GPC to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) because it serves as a substrate for the synthesis of trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) in the gut, and TMAO is associated with adverse cardiovascular outcomes in people with CVD and in mechanistic studies. A 2021 cohort study of more than 12 million participants (at least 50 years old), including 108,877 alpha-GPC users, reported that alpha-GPC use for at least 12 months was associated with an increased risk of stroke over 10 years. Moreover, a 2021 mouse study found that alpha-GPC supplementation promoted atherosclerosis. However, the currently available evidence is preliminary in nature, so randomized controlled trials and large cohort studies are needed to confirm these findings." https://examine.com/supplements/alpha-gpc/#what-are-alpha-gpcs-main-drawbacks https://examine.com/supplements/alpha-gpc/#what-are-alpha-gp...

  I am aware of this. I am doing my blood test every 3 months where i check TMAO levels too. I managed to get the levels back to my base line with garlic extract. I think Andrew Huberman mentioned it somewhere. Also important, I don’t take Alpha GPC every day. Maybe 3 to 4 days a week
