Welcome to the Learn True Health podcast. I’m your host, Ashley James.
This is Episode 362.
0:00:51.5 Ashley James: I’m very excited to have on the show today a Nootropics expert. His website is www.nootropicsexpert.com. His name is David Tomen.
David, we’re finally getting you on the show.
0:01:06.6 David Tomen: Finally, hi Ashley.
0:01:08.0 Ashley James: Hi. It’s been quite a ride. David and I have been going back and forth and every time, either he was in a car accident, and then I had some crazy flu, and then something else happened. I don’t know. So we finally have you on the show. I think the universe is conspiring and now is the right time.
So I’ve been fascinated and intrigued for months to finally get to talk you about what Nootropics are. We’re definitely getting into that. My very limited understanding is from hearing about certain herbs that will be really good for the brain, or I hear in Silicon Valley how they’ll microdose LSD or mushrooms to try to get the cutting edge on their brain firing and their intelligence and their creativity. So there’s this big weird world out there of neuroscience when it comes to supplements that support the brain. I really enjoyed going to your website, which we’re going to make sure all the links to everything David Tomen does is in the show notes of today’s podcast at www.learntruehealth.com.
And your website list about 90 different neuro tropics and how they work, but we’re going to get into the most interesting ones. Before we do and I definitely want to dive into your story. Can you define what Nootropics are? Can you give us an understanding about what they are and then I’d love to go into your story and learn why you became an expert in them.
0:02:56.1 David Tomen: Generally, like the 30,000 Nootropics are a class of substances that improve brain function. That’s the big picture of it, but the term nootropic is relatively new. There’s a Romanian psychologist and chemist named Dr. Cornelio Gurghiu. He synthesized Piracetam back in 1963, and he coined the term nootropic in 1972 after he invented this new class of substances. And the word nootropic is derived from the Greek “nous” for the mind and “tropein” to bend, so to bend the mind. And then Dr. Ghurghiu went on to define what he thought a true nootropic is, and this is what he said, “A nootropic enhances memory and the ability to learn. It assists brain function under disruptive conditions such as the lack of oxygen, and after convulsive shock, it protects the brain from chemical and physical toxins like anticholinergic drugs and barbiturates, it increases natural cognitive processes, and it must be non-toxic to humans or stimulate or depress the brain.” That’s officially what a nootropic is.
Now since then, every person has been calling everything that affects the brain one way or another nootropic. And we make a very strong distinction between Nootropics and smart drugs. To my mind, Nootropi...

Have you ever had pains you can’t describe where and what to do? So painful it’s already giving you anxieties or worse, sleepless nights? It pays to take care of our body so opting for going for all natural remedies would be a good investment in the long run. Check out today’s podcast to learn more about going “Au Naturale” when dealing with pain issues in your body.
[00:00] Ashley James: Hello, true health seekers and welcome to another exciting episode of Learn True health podcast. We have a wonderful interview for you today with Doctor Rachna Patel, who’s a medical doctor that specializes in helping patients around the world to transition into using either medical cannabis or using CBD products in order to help them, sometimes even get off of pain medications but a lot of people that come to see her have complicated issues like parents who have children with autism who’s also experiencing anxiety. They found that CBD has been very effective at helping these children lower their anxiety. Those who have complicated chronic pain issues like fibromyalgia and they’re finding that even on multiple opioid medications that they’re having a very difficult time managing their pain. They come to Doctor Patel and they have found great success in using her expertise. Now, I thought it was pretty easy. Just if you have pain just start using CBD or if you have pain just start using medical cannabis, no big deal. You know dear, what I’ve found really interesting is that there’s a bit more finesse to it that if you really want to use hemp and cannabis products as in a medical herb. That you want to know somethings first. You know how to ingest it? How to get it in your system? You want to know the measurement of how much you are ingesting. We also want to know the contraindications and the side effects of if you have taken too much. It’s not dangerous but you should know the side effects. Who wants to experience side effects anyway? From natural or man-made drugs. We want to make sure that we are taking something safely and effectively. We can easily overdo some CBD products. Now there is also a concern about quality in the supplement industry.
Since a lot of CBD products are expensive, we really want to make sure that our money’s going towards products that are good quality and provide us exactly what we are looking for and the dose we’re looking for. I had a really interesting thing happen a few days before the interview, which I found to be just perfect timing. How the universe lines up to help us. One Sunday I was roughhousing with our son. We are playing together, building forts, laughing and tickling. I injured my back. I don’t remember quite what happened but I injured my back. I don’t remember it quite what happened but I injured my back and Monday morning I went to the chiropractor and he said, “Yes, you did quite a doozy.” I had basically torqued and twisted my pelvis. He said it’s going to take a few days to recover. I was very sore. Instead of reaching for the Advil or for something stronger, I went for the supplement that’s been sitting on my shelf from EVA CBD. I interviewed the founder of EVA CBD. It’s a whole hemp plant supplement company. I interviewed Nicole back in episode 337. She has a wonderful story including curing her dog’s cancer using a whole hemp juice. That was very interesting. She also cured her – I believed she had a form of IBS and it was very painful for her and she was able to reverse her inflammatory bowel issues using medical cannabis. What I love about her story is that they really apply their lessons personally to their own health. Then they look to create a supplement to help others.
She had sent me a bottle of her supplement called – I have it right here called, the

Hello, true health seeker!
Welcome to another exciting episode of Learn True Health Podcast. I’ve got an awesome interview for you today. But first, before we jump into it, I’m really excited to share three pieces of news with you. Awesome information, so just listen to the next few minutes and I will jump into the interview.
The first piece of news is my favorite magnesium soak, if you’ve listened to the show for a while, you’ve heard me talk about it. You probably heard Kristen Bowen, the founder of Living the Good Life Naturally. The website is www.livingthegoodlifenaturally.comand the coupon code is LTH. She’s hosting this week a special just for Learn True Health listeners. I pulled the listeners in the Facebook group. So if you’re not in the Facebook group, come join us. Go to Facebook and search Learn True Health or you can go www.learntruehealth.com/group and it will redirect you to the group. But I pulled the listeners and asked them because Kristen gave me a choice. She said, “Listen, I’d love to throw on a summer sale for the Learn True Health listeners.” And she offered us either a free jar of the magnesium muscle cream or a free jar of acerola cherry powder. Now, acerola cherry powder, I love it. It is a vitamin C powder, but it’s whole food plant-basedvitamin C powder. So it actually has all the other cofactors. It tastes really good. Listeners have been noticing that their skin gets healthier, that they’re faster from cuts, that their bleeding gums go away. You know, if you brush your teeth and you have a bit of bleeding gums, that’s a vitamin C deficiency. And so, lots of listeners have said they really enjoy it. Some people find that it helps them with their parasite protocols to rid their body of parasites, they add it to their parasite protocol and they find that it kicks it up and really helps.
So I pulled the listeners, and you guys decided that you wanted a free jar of the muscle cream. People were raving about it in the Facebook group. They said it really helped to lessen the tension in muscles. They’d rub it on sore, tight muscles and they noticed that the muscle relaxed because it delivered that magnesium straight to the localized area. So, that’s really cool. So, when you order a jug of the magnesium soak from www.livingthegoodlifenaturally.com, it is gonna automatically add a free jar and then they’re gonna give you free shipping for the jar as well. All you have to do is buy the jug, you’re still gonna receive 10% off as part of the Learn True Health code. So, just go to www.livingthegoodlifenaturally.com, click on their magnesium section and grab that jug of magnesium soak, they’ll add the magnesium muscle cream for free, and that magnesium soak is amazing. I’ve shared about it before on the show and I’ve shared about it several times in the Facebook group. We actually have a post with over 200 different comments of people sharing their experience about this magnesium soak. It has been life-changing for our family, our young son was always fighting sleep until we started adding it to his bath and now, he is calmer and wants to go to sleep...
