 Good morning all my name is Alex from AlexFegus.com and today I'm going to take qualia For the first time. So I've just got up. It's 7.30 in the morning. It's like pretty good or I'm showing about 87, 88% And I decided today is the day I'm going to try qualia The God Pill as some call it. This is a product by the Neurohackker Collective. They have many good things about it but not big on the What do you call this? Neutropics I don't know. I don't know what they call it bio hardware upgrade. You know, I've never really taken many things like this before So I'm brought this back from the bulletproof expo Been meaning to try it, but I wanted to wait until my sleep sort of stabilizing everything and which it did pretty fast so you know at today's the day I'm going to um Open them up and follow the instructions and um Yeah, I'll report back in with how I get on So you know something that's serious when it comes with two steps step one step two and Instruction manual step one step two how to use Frequency for best results disclaimer pretty serious stuff But again, there's many good things about it. So I mentioned it I don't usually take Meaning like I said, I don't usually take things like this. So I got told not to take the full dosage. So the full dosage is a three step ones on it right into stomach best thing the money and Step two is at least half an hour later six capsules with food So I decided they said the guys don't need to take half But I don't know I want to see how I go on it So I'm going to take two thirds I'm going to take two instead of three and four instead of six. I'll see how I go I'll report back in or I'll report and during the day. I can't even open this up and And But you know how I'm feeling and then maybe tomorrow or later in the week I'll take the full dosage. I can't I kind of get into it We'll just cut into it. There we go. Choking Okay All right, so it's been 45 minutes or thereabouts. I'll just go back from my walk and watering the garden and Going a few chin-ups. You know, so that means I'm ready for step two So I've mixed up my smoothie. So I'm gonna have it with my food As to how I'm feeling now, I mean, I don't know to say anything. I don't know if I should have by now I did real. I just realized that there is a pretty caffeine in step one 90 milligrams of caffeine. So what's it is about 60 milligrams? I don't drink that much coffee Why very rarely drink coffee. Um, I had some caffeine and a ketone salt supplement on the weekend. So, you know, I Don't have that much caffeine, I guess so usually when I take it I do notice a bit of a pickup. Um, so, you know, I'm sure I'll feel pretty good from that But there were a bunch of other things in here, rhodiola artichoke leaf extract, B12, L-theanine by, by a PQQ which I usually take in my supplement cupid. So I'm looking to take that today. Um, Tyrosine. There's a few other things. I mean, it will be interesting to see how it goes. Um, But yeah, step two. I mean, this is the big one like these capsules are pretty big and You're meant to take six of them. I'm just gonna take four because like I said, I'm doing the two for it dosage today. Um, but looking at these, I mean, you got a ton of B vitamins A little bit of vitamin D in there as well. Zinc, magnesium as well, magnesium 3 and 8, which is, which is a good one for the for the brain and cognitive function But then you got all, you got all the good stuff half of which I don't even know what's in here. Aldopa, fossil side of syrin, syrin, I hope I said that right. Um, Jinko boo, below goba leaf extract uh and then Boo, alpha gpc, curcumin, green teeth, lithium, lithium. That's cool. That lithium's in there. I didn't realize that was in there That's good. Lyons, man. I'll count it in. I mean, there's a ton of stuff in there like Uh, you can check this out later. But anyway, so I'm gonna take that now. I'm gonna take four of those The big big suckers and I'll have my food Have my smoothie and then check back in. Um All right, any an hour or two and give you another update sweet All right, so it's been about an hour now. So since I took the uh step two, um, definitely feeling something. All right, so I have experimented with aniracetam and And a few of that acetam. I can't remember the other names now. Um I've experimented with them a few years ago and uh, I definitely noticed something with that where it's sort of You'd have this this energy so to speak like this brain energy like you want to do something. Um But I I couldn't control it like it was it was too jittery It was too like trying to do something and then your brain thought of something else you had to do and I was like bouncing around left right in the center. So I'm starting to notice some of that like that uh Energy so to speak coming on now. Uh, I haven't started working yet. I've just sort of been mapping out my day So I'm gonna hit the hit the computer and get into work now So it'll be interesting to see if I can sort of control it and you know, focus that in Um, or if I'm just like a a complete mess bouncing around the walls. Um It's definitely different to a caffeine hit because again, like I'm quite sensitive to caffeine. I'm I'm a slow metabolizer, uh, but also because I don't have it very often. So I know it. Um, I know caffeine Has an impact on me. It's definitely different to that. Um Whether it's Going to be beneficial for my work or not. I'm not too sure again Remember, this is just like a first time use and I know I know a lot of the benefits of qualia Over time, you know, they're like accumulative. So You know, don't read into this and I I am kind of sensitive with these sort of things as well So anyway, we'll we'll put back in in a little bit. Just Hey, so just an update on the um qualia. It's coming up to four o'clock in the afternoon And uh, I've just finished writing The draft copy of my blog and the sun's up, which is quite rare in New Zealand So I've come outside to get some sun, but you know, how am I feeling? How's it going? Um That means good. So I noticed Maybe about an hour or two after taking Step two, uh, I definitely felt this like I don't know this wave of something come over me. Um It was kind of what I touched on before like a little bit of that jitteriness But it was a lot more focused in control compared to some other things I've taken in the past. Um What else I did notice at one point like I had um a bit of a It was weird. It was like this little spell with um almost pain It's like a mild sort of headache in it and then I noticed a bit of a draw a bit of pressure in my jaw um Come over me it only lasted a few minutes. It wasn't it wasn't bad. I wasn't worried. It was just uh I don't know something was kicking in I guess. Um But that was finally all through that as for work output, you know, the cognitive side of things Uh, to be honest, I had a pretty good plan for writing today researching and writing and um I just got a call from my va Who had some videos I had to run over and oh had to check over So they kind of threw out my my plan a little bit. So the first two or three hours where I would have been, you know Right in the heart of of the benefits so to speak. Um We're a little bit Distracted I guess because because of that sort of side project that came up So then I finally settled into work and uh, yeah, I mean it was good There was no massively noticeable like I wasn't firing uh in terms of creativity or anything like that But the article's done. Um, feel good writing it. Uh, it wasn't one of my typical sort of in depth Reviews and you know research reviews. Um, so it didn't require that much brain power. Um, But yeah, I mean I I feel good. Um And there were no downsides. So that was a good thing. Um, so what I'll probably do tomorrow is I might try the full dose just to see if there's a bit of a difference And I also um, I'll I'll be curious to see how I sleep tonight I know in the instruction manual it mentioned something about how it can impact your sleep for the first few nights So my sleep's been amazing lately. Um, and I track it with my oring Um, so we'll be interested to see if that sort of takes a hit. Um But yeah, I'll I'll check in I guess tomorrow morning and maybe try the full dosage tomorrow And report back in I do know though that uh, we're not speaking to the team over there They were saying a lot a lot of the benefits are sort of from um, you know regular use They've done some sort of testing and some studies and stuff. I probably should have done like, uh, um in back training tests or something. Maybe I'll maybe I'll do that tomorrow I'll do it before and after See how I compare who knows. Anyway, we'll report back in later. Cheers Morning, so day two of taking qualia. Um, I'm gonna do the full dose today. I said pretty good I can show you my oring data here. Okay, so I don't know if this is going to show up. Well, I don't know if we'll be married Sorry if it is but anyway, um sleep 87 high readiness really high readiness This is the oring app by the way. I'll put a link in the show notes. Um to my review. So, uh, yeah pretty good sleep score 87 Um, I need woke I need woke once, uh, which you can see there. Um, let's get right up in this So, uh, yeah, I need woke once. It was pretty good sleep. I mean Long sleep add in half hours or at 20 the deep sleep and room sleep was a little bit lower I mean, it's still really good numbers like 20 there. It's amazing numbers But I noticed my lighter sleep was a little bit higher. Um, so yeah, I mean heart rate was pretty flat So no method no noticeable changes. Um in regards to My sleep after taking the qualia Whereas on the instruction manual it says, uh, I love how there's an instruction manual for the supplement But it says your sleep might go off a little bit. Um, resting heart rate 49 a little bit higher than the last few days 45 and 46 But then a few days ago it was in the 50s. I mean, yeah, nothing too crazy there HRV score was still pretty good 84. Um, what was it the day before? 85 yeah, I mean, it's pretty consistent there body temperature was down a little bit Which has happened though if you look back at tapping a few times and my temperature this morning I take my temperature every morning. Um Was quite low as well. So that's not ideal, but whether that was the qualia or not, who knows Anyway today, uh, I'm gonna take the full dose like I said, so I've already taken step one, which was the The two capsules three capsules whatever was three capsules that I think, um, feel pretty good This morning went for a walk and made my smoothie and what did the garden everything feel like pretty good feeling pretty positive. Um So that's a good thing. Uh, maybe it was the extra caffeine coming in. I'm not too sure Um, but now we'll do the full six doses of this and see how I guess I also gave, um, my partner Uh A third of a dose today So what's that one and two supplements? Um, so it'll be interesting to see how she goes as well I report back in so I've got one two three four She's there's a lot of pills aren't there The big the big suckers. Uh, so I'm gonna pop these and uh, we'll check in later. Bye Hey, so it's two o'clock in the afternoon. I just want to do a quick update I think the full dose is a little bit too much for me. So, uh hard to explain, but I feel kind of torn between over stimulated like over over energized so to speak and also Tired like really tired. It's this weird state like I feel like I could go lie down and have a nap and I feel like the body would would feel good with that But I feel like maybe the brain is a little bit too Too alert too wired to be honest. I don't I don't feel great Uh, I've been working but You know being easily distracted and stuff a few things that I have noticed I don't know if they're related, but I've sneezed a lot. It actually happened yesterday as well. I don't usually sneeze Oh, I don't have allergies or anything like that, but I sneezed quite a few times just there and it's happened again today a few times So coincidence I'm not too sure um I've noticed like Maybe my breath is a little bit more shallow like I noticed I don't know. It's kind of hard to explain uh But yeah, I mean, I don't I don't like how I feel right now. I think maybe if I was Training or like, I don't know studying or doing some really serious work. Maybe it'd be a good thing. Um, but yeah, this it just sounds like the uh Taking too much, you know in terms of the water when I was talking to the guys over in Pasadena like they were saying, you know, some people it's a little bit too much You gotta listen the dose which is what I did yesterday because I definitely didn't feel like this yesterday. So um But I wanted to see what a full dose was going to be like. So yeah Precious little me, huh a little bit too sensitive to this sort of stuff, but uh, I spoke to Rebecca She um, she took the third of a dose and she yeah, she said she was feeling tired today Um, but didn't notice anything when she was taking it. So she looks after children. So I'm sure you know If she was struggling she should um She should know but she just felt said she felt a bit flat a bit tired But she never the best late last night. So there you go. Um Yeah, I'm actually gonna go have lunch. It's two o'clock, which is a little bit late for me But I'm gonna have lunch and hopefully just getting some solid food and me will Will help uh, get me over this little bump Um, but yeah, I've been doing a little bit of work a little bit of emails Gotta call this afternoon. I'm glad I don't have a call right now because even even talking to you people in this little camera of mine, uh, feels a little bit difficult. So anyway That's what the whole idea behind this video was to give you a bit of insight uh inside of you So we'll chicken later on. Bye. All right. So it's been a week now. Well coming up to a week since I started with qualia Qualia qualia. There we go qualia Um, how's it going? Okay quick quick overview Full dosage is far too much. You know left me jittery spacey a little bit They even tied as well like a hit a bit of a wall in the afternoon. It was just it was too much Uh, two-thirds of a dose was good. Um But it was still For me, it was a little bit too much. Uh, it was bearable, but I just felt uncomfortable with it So I'm all the way back down to one-third of a dose now and I'm taking that Um, most weekdays now. So yeah, I'm just taking it Monday through Friday and then taking the weekends off as it recommends Um, and it's good. I mean, I'm not bouncing off the walls Uh, but at the same time, you know, you're not get you I know there's a I'm leaving a lot of money on the table So to speak. I'm missing out on a lot of gains. Um, but it's bitter for me. It's more of a Manageable level. Uh, I am so precious and sensitive to this stuff. Uh, but you know, I see yeah, that's all I'm doing I'm doing one capsule of step one in the morning as soon as I get up and then two capsules of step two instead of the six Um, about 45 minutes later when I have food a little bit of caffeine in there my deep sleep My sleep in general is still perfect fine for those of you following me on instagram Um, I think it's alexfegas coach or something like that. Uh, you know, I share my sleep data and it's amazing You know, like 90 to 95 percent in ordering. So no issues there Uh, nothing radical though with the one-third like it's just you know, it's what's the time five o'clock in the afternoon here I've been a lot done today. Um, no energy crashes. Good focus. You know when I got into work It was it was going good. Um Yeah, so there's nothing major to write home about with the one-third, right? I would like to go back to two-thirds Maybe in a week or two and just sort of experiment how that's going But for now it was just too much. Uh, will I continue taking them? Yeah, I mean I'm gonna keep taking these I'll I'll keep taking the one-third dosage Rebecca my fiance she's uh, she's been taking one-third as well and and she's similar to me She's like there's nothing amazing from it, but there's nothing, you know, you're bad from it, but you do feel a bit of a Boost I guess a bit of a pick me up. Um, but again, it's still very early days. It's only been a week So I guess in a way, uh, I should probably keep doing it and then look at trying the two-thirds dosage again And uh, yeah, maybe maybe I'll change my mind or maybe I'll have a different opinion or experience in a month's time In which case, uh, if you're watching this and it's been a month hit me up and leave a comment below and uh, I'll be able to give you a more updated real-time sort of overview if you use qualia and you like it Uh, please let me know if you have been through this as well Like the two-thirds or a whole dose was just too much for you Let me know what you ended up doing if you continued or you know, if you if you changed the dosage around or you just gave up Um, if you don't like it, let me know. I'm I'm I mean, again, I'm a newbie with this So, uh, I'm trying to give as much experience and um opinions from others So anyway, that's all for me. Enjoy.
