Can we talk supplements? When I was in full time study mode for the CPA exam I was experimenting with different nootropics, functional mushroom tinctures like lions mane, and L-Tyrosine/ L-theanine for the calm focus effect. I have fallen off of that routine now that I’m done, but with my busy season already in full effect I feel like I am lacking in the mental sharpness that I used to have. I want to feel on point again. What supplements do you guys take to help with memory/ cognitive function?

I was supportive of Lori when this virus first started but her actions since have dwindled my support of her. I don’t expect her to make every decision correct nor do we have to agree with all of them. I believe she should be correct around 75 percent of the time but I believe she is in the 50 percent range. I know everything doesn’t fall on her shoulder but things haven’t been great as of late. Hopefully they figure out something soon.
