Six ways to supercharge your energy levels.
Warning: this is not for everyone.
Techniques to boost your energy may come as no surprise.
You may think you only had to sleep well,
to eat well, or exercise.
And some of you might even go the extra mile
to optimize your environment, whether by organizing
your room, infusing it with essential oils,
removing distractions, and eliminating toxins!
You may think these are already comprehensive,
but for you diehard energy architects out there,
the list of energy-boosting strategies can go on.
And that's what I'll talk about in this video:
lesser-known secrets about how to take your energy
from amazing, to supercharged.
As some of you already know, we talk a lot about ways
to increase your energy levels here at Activated Potential.
And you might have actually seen a number of other videos!
Well, guess what?
We're not done.
Today, we'll talk some more ways to boost your energy.
But this time, the techniques I'll share
are not for the faint of heart.
Unlike the techniques I've shared in other videos,
these ones are fairly advanced.
In fact, some of you might even consider them to be extreme!
Still, I have a good feeling about this.
I think many of you will still want to give these a shot.
I'll share six ways for you to take it up a notch,
to tap into energy levels
you've never dreamed to be possible.
So are you ready to rev up your engines
and supercharge to the max?
Let's begin!
Number one, long fasts.
Coming in at number one, we have long, long fasts.
How long is long?
For long fasts, they're at least 36 hours.
And I'm not talking about some fat fast,
where you can still consume calorically rich fats.
Nor am I talking about some pretty little juice fast,
where you can still sip fancy little juices!
No, I'm talking about a hardcore,
honest-to-goodness water fast.
No food, no fancy drinks, no nothing.
Just plain water, period.
For at least 36 hours.
So you might ask,
"Why is fasting good for our energy levels?"
I know that seems highly counterintuitive.
When you think of fasting, you probably associate that
with starving, and the image of hunger and fatigue
cannot escape your mind.
But the reality couldn't be further from the truth.
These days, many people are acquainting themselves
with intermittent fasting, and with good success.
They're enjoying boosts of energy!
And while I'm a big fan of intermittent fasting
and even practice it myself, I still think
that occasional long fasts have their place.
And they're effective especially when you want
tremendous boosts in energy.
Okay, so how do we actually get energy from fasting?
There are many factors that could come into play.
The most obvious one, of course, is ketosis.
Have you tried a ketogenic diet?
I'm sure many of you have.
You experienced the energy-boosting
effects of ketones, right?
But there is more to fasting than just that.
One of the biggest factors is the role that fasting plays
in adaptive cellular responses.
These responses can actually optimize your metabolism!
Furthermore, they provide a number of other health benefits,
like decreased inflammation levels,
which in turn could help energize you even more.
In fact, there are numerous other factors
that could be contributing to your energy surges.
Too many to go over in this video.
So please just let me know in the comments below
if you want a video that discusses fasting
in even greater detail!
Let me close off this segment on fasting just by quoting
a manuscript from Longo and Mattson,
published in the journal Cell Metabolism:
"Indeed, a highly conserved behavioral trait of all mammals
is to be active when hungry, and sedentary when satiated."
Number two, nootropics
Next are nootropics.
Nootropics are substances that enhance cognitive function.
Now, many different substances can be called nootropics,
but people debate about what true nootropics are.
You have things like modafinil and racetams,
which are generally accepted as nootropics.
Then you have things like vitamins and magnesium.
They have nootropic effects in that they can increase
your cognitive function,
but some argue that they're just, you know,
just supplements that you can't label as nootropics.
Another candidate on the list of nootropics is adderall,
which can enhance certain aspects of cognitive function:
mainly focus, energy and motivation.
But again, not everyone agrees that they be labeled
as nootropics, because they can actually harm your body.
So as you can see, not everyone agrees!
But for the purposes of this video,
when I refer to nootropics, I'm talking about
all substances that can enhance cognitive function.
And the ones I want to focus on today
are the ones that can enhance your energy levels.
And they do so by varying degrees.
The most potent ones are Modafinil,
Adderall and Phenylpiracetam.
These are very stimulating and might not be for everyone!
They should be used with extreme caution.
Other nootropics enhance energy levels in gentler,
perhaps more passive ways.
Such as by increasing your motivation
or helping you get into a more focused state of mind.
And finally, there are also certain nootropics
that could actually deplete your energy!
Such as Bacopa.
So definitely be careful when selecting the one for you.
If used correctly though, nootropics can certainly boost
your energy to the next level.

Number three, tDCS.
Next is tDCS.
It sounds deceptively short and simple.
But it actually stands for something
far from short and simple.
Ready for it?
tDCS stands for transcranial direct-current stimulation.
But let's do ourselves a favor and just call it tDCS.
tDCS is a process whereby electrodes are attached
to your head, and a small current is used
to stimulate certain areas of your brain.
Yikes, sounds scary, right?
But don't worry, your brain won't get electrocuted.
The current used is low, and the procedure is very safe.
There are many forms of neurostimulation,
but this one is probably the most effective,
and it's so safe that it can be used at home!
Many people already do.
They use it to improve their cognitive functioning,
but also of course their energy levels!
What's more, promising studies have shown that tDCS
has potential benefits in treating a number of diseases,
such as Parkinson's.
So the future for tDCS is bright.
It's becoming more and more available to the general public,
and it's rising in popularity.
I think we'll see a definitive rise
in the number of tDCS users in the coming years.
Number four, LLLT.
The fourth energy booster is yet another form
of neurostimulation: Low Level Laser Therapy, or LLLT.
LLLT is safer, though probably less effective than tDCS.
In LLLT, you direct certain types of low-level lasers
or LEDs onto your body.
It has been used in medicine to treat pain,
but many people also use it in the same way they use tDCS.
They direct the lasers onto specific parts of their head
to stimulate certain parts of the brain.
As with tDCS, there is a considerable amount of anecdotal
evidence supporting its ability to enhance
cognitive function and boost energy levels.
Number five, TRT.
At number five is something
for all you older adults out there.
And that is testosterone replacement therapy,
or TRT for short.
When we get older,
our testosterone levels drop considerably.
The results are lower energy levels.
Fortunately, you can supplement with testosterone
to bring your levels back up to where they were
when you were just in your 20s!
This practice is called TRT.
TRT can provide a number of health and energy-boosting
effects to both men and women,
and it can truly transform people's lives.
Testosterone can be administered
as pills, creams, or injections.
However, TRT should always be done with a doctor's
supervision, as it will affect your hormones.
But if you go to an anti-aging doctor
and are medically supervised,
it can truly change your life and health for the better.
I recommend that anyone over the age of 40,
or anyone showing signs of low testosterone
talk to their doctor about TRT.
I plan on using TRT when I get older,
and I think you should consider it as well.
Number six, cerebral-electric stimulation.
Now for the final item on our list,
we have another scary-sounding one:
cerebral-electric stimulation.
This is a process whereby your brain is stimulated
with electricity while you're sleeping!
To do this, you need an electrosleep device.
The device is placed on your head, and it provides
your brain with electrical support
to help you get more quality, energizing sleep.
The cool thing is that this also means
you might even need to sleep less!
But let me insert a word of warning:
you can't use the electrosleep device too often.
That's because our glymphatic system still needs time
to clear the waste from our central nervous system
while we sleep.
But for those times where you know you'll be getting little
sleep, then this device can prove to be a real life-saver!
So there you have it:
six ways you can supercharge your energy levels.
