What are some youtubers that you guys actually trust? I pretty much only watch YouTube and I have found some great info. I've heard some of the Nootropics depot employees mention they don't trust most of them so it got me wondering which ones I should and shouldn't trust.
My current favorites are:
Huberman (of course)
Thomas Delauer - Nutrition
Nootropics Republic - dude seems so genuine and changed my outlook on Nootropics strategy
Nootropics Reviewer
Jonni Shreve - Fitness
Jeremy Either - Fitness
Peter attia- Fitness and longevity
Modern Wisdom - for motivation and life advice

/u/MisterYouAreSoDumb It seems like the safest thing is to educate ourselves. What resources would you recommend to do so? Books, websites? I refer to examine.com a lot and I hope and believe it's legit if you know how to read studies but I need more understanding of the fundamentals. I have knowledge of the basics but when people talk about more advanced topics like cAMP, AMPK, STAR etc. I'm currently lost. I would appreciate your input as I trust your opinion. You clearly seem to be on a mission and I notice a huge difference in the effects of your products. TIA

Examine and Wikipedia are great starting places, but you should read the direct studies to really get an understanding. The issue with that is that you also have to be skeptical of the studies these days. It's a tough position for most people, as they don't have the time to dedicate to wading through all the BS to find the truth. You could always do some Khan Academy classes on the basics of pharmacology and neurochemistry, but there is no quick and easy path. It takes a lot of time and research.
