Transcript: "Hey Josh, the question was are there clean ingredients that are not caffeine or stimulants that can Boost energy naturally? There are, but I don't think it's the way to go. I'll answer your question. First ginseng has been used for that. Maca has been used for that, and I'll show Ganda is, he's pretty good for that, but I wouldn't do that first. And here's why, almost every time somebody doesn't have energy. It's because there is something else going wrong. Most likely they're not sleeping. Well and are used to have a. I had a professor in graduate school, who used to say when you have a, when you hear hoofbeats outside your window. Don't start by looking for zebras. Look for the obvious cause there's hook beats. It's probably horses. And if you're fatigued and your energy isn't what you think, it should be. And you're kind of dragging during the day. I'm going to 99. 9%, tell you that, if you can go back and correct, your sleep, that's going to go away. You can still use ashwagandha. It's wonderful marker. There. You can experiment with all of those things, but energy is like water. You cannot grab water with your hands and you cannot get energy from other things, but what you can do with Waters, you can create in your palms and environment where water can live you can cup your palms and you can actually hold some water in there. Not very long and not very effectively, but you can do it and just go with me on the metaphor. It's the best I could come up with. But the point is, you want to create that pom. You want to create that open space for energy in your life. And you do that, not by taking other stuff, but really by correcting sleep and managing stress because those are your energy drainers. I hope that helps"

Does it really matter what time of day when you take supplements such vitamin D, magnesium and vitamin C?

It generally doesn't matter what time of day you take supplements, as long as you are taking them consistently. It is best to take vitamins and minerals with food, as it may reduce digestive upset. Some supplements such as B vitamins may be energizing and should be taken earlier in the day to avoid disruption of sleep.

What do you think about exogenous ketones? (For a "normal" person and for a endurance athlete?)

I'm on the fence about the usefulness of exogenous ketones, as they need to be coupled with a ketogenic diet in order for them to do anything. They may have some use for extreme athletes or people with neurological disorders, but the way they are being sold is often misleading and does not provide the same benefits that a ketogenic diet does.

What are the pros & cons of these alternative sweeteners : allulose, erythritol, monk fruit, stevia or any others? Which do you choose?

I'm not a fan of sweeteners in general, as they can stimulate your sweet tooth, but I don't have a problem with any of the alternative sweeteners you mentioned. Personally, I use D-ribose which is a nutritional supplement that tastes great and doesn't raise blood sugar. It's useful for heart health and diabetes.
