I exercise and go to the gym everyday. I live a very healthy clean lifestyle. I do not drink, smoke or use any drugs. I take multi vitamins, fish oils and have even tried noopept which is an over the counter nootropic. I'm still not able to stay focused on my work because my mind is going a thousand miles an hour on different things.
