In keeping with our guidelines, we've scheduled this Meetup because roughly 60% of our surveyed members are interested in this topic.

To give you a bit of basic background information on the topic, nootropics are substances that enhance cognitive functions, including energy levels, memory, focus, motivation, and mood.

Five characteristics of nootropics include that they enhance memory and the ability to learn, they support brain function, they enhance the efficiency of neuronal firing, they protect the brain from chemical and physical damage, and they do not have a sedative effect.
Some of the more recognized brands that YesWellness carries are Alpha Brain by Onnit (https://www.onnit.com/alphabrain/), a line of Bulletproof (https://www.bulletproofexec.com/), Thorne Research (https://www.thorne.com/), Douglas Laboratories (http://www.douglaslabs.ca/about-dl.cfm) supplements as well as many others.

This will be a really fun event, with scientific references available at the end, along with plenty of time for questions and answers after the presentation.
Dave has also mentioned that he may be able to swing some product incentives for members who attend the event, and perhaps even have the one or two copies of the new cookbook by Dave Asprey (BulletProof Exec) (https://www.bulletproofexec.com/about-dave-asprey/) to give away.
