I would be interested in the total package: supplements and the behavioral stuff.
Sport for example has an impact on each of your categories.
A possible regimen would be:
Sport:Cardio 2 times a week
Strength 3 times a week
(Combine this in a social setting to improve wellbeing/hapiness, so find a budy or do group sports...)
Sport is the most important supplement of them all, it improves your energy, mental state, coognition, muscles, fitness, general health, sexual performance (testosteron),...
The poisons/addictives:No drugs
No alcohol
No smoking
No caffeine
No internet for hours a day
The nootropics (basic stack):CDP Choline
Piracetam
Sulbutiamine
Food:A good diet (balans of proteins, sugars, fat) (a lot more to mention for this one)
Breakfast (no bad sugars, add proteins -> to have good insulin profile the whole morning)
Drink a lot of water
Maybe complement with a multi-vit
Sleep:This will already improve dramatically with the things above
Try to avoid to much (blue) light before sleep (computer screen F.lux, no smartphone in bed)
Wake up at the same time (but this is really if i focus on the other categories)
And if you are prone to SAD, take the necessary actions
The muscle supplements:Creatine
Protein
All this things are synergetic.
You will sleep better if you sport, you will be less tired, you will have more mental energy, ... and so on...
So the single most important thing is:
DEDICATION to this regime
For most of this things, everybody is aware, but we are just nonchalant
Personally I try all the things above. And when I feel very great. The decline often begins with the "addictives" or with having no time to sport.
When you are feeling so great, a couple of beers or some coffees are even more great. At first not a problem for me, but then I start to fall back to my lower baseline and become to tired for sports and so on (nothing really serious, but not perfect).
And then at some moment, I remember that I know how to be really great.
So if someone has a tip or trick to stay dedicated to a regime, this would be gold.
