Q/A with Dr. Jeff Wiegers
Dr. Jeffrey Wiegers, MD
Board Certified Anesthesiologist & Regenerative Medicine Specialist
Dr. Jeffrey Wiegers, MD is a board-certified anesthesiologist and pain specialist serving patients in Santa Monica and Silicon Valley. He focuses on regenerative medicine and minimally invasive therapies designed to restore function and relieve chronic pain.
In this Q&A, we sit down with Dr. Jeffrey Wiegers, a board-certified anesthesiologist and pain specialist with a passion for regenerative medicine and brain health. Dr. Wiegers shares his perspective on nootropics, the science behind cognitive performance, and why natural, plant-based approaches like Graymatter are shaping the future of mental wellness.
1. What’s your experience with nootropics and plant-based cognitive supplementation?
"Recently, my interest and experimentation with nootropics of all kinds have increased. Historically I leaned heavily on caffeine to keep me awake and alert but, as many people know, this strategy can backfire at times.
By looking to nootropics, we are affecting many different biological pathways that can have benefits without overpowering one in particular. This leads to the ability to achieve calm and focus, clarity and creativity, endurance and engagement."
2. Why do people turn to nootropics for cognitive performance?
"People have become more and more self aware and educated on potential ways to improve and enhance their biology. While previously, we may have just accepted a subpar state of mental function, now people are looking to be at 100%.
But many have realized the path to high performance and the desired state of mind is likely not through pharmaceuticals but through more natural solutions.
It is great to see people taking their health into their own hands and using methods that nature provides for us to give their brain what it needs in order to see the results we are looking for."
"Graymatter takes a holistic, plant-based approach to cognitive enhancement."

3. What impact have you seen in your patients or community? (if you have them)
"When my patients or I switch to Bright Mind they typically see a few things.
First, the stressors of the day seem to become a little less intimidating. You realize that things that seemed intense, challenging, or anxiety provoking are much more manageable.
I believe this is due to chronic fatigue and stress that compound over time. When your brain is receiving the proper nutrients, all of the sudden those tasks don’t cause the same degree of negative response."
"Second, I notice that people's energy levels become much more even. BrightMind is a mixture that doesn’t come with the same ups and downs as people have known to battle with coffee or energy drinks.
The nootropic blend and gentle forms of caffeine lead to a more sustained and engaging buzz that doesn’t burn you out and leads to a more smooth landing when you are looking to calm down later in the day."
4. Why did you choose to partner with Graymatter?
"I chose to partner with Graymatter for two main reasons: they use top quality ingredients and testing and it works.
First of all, I am very passionate about the quality of a product. The supplement and even food space is full of a lot of claims that end up being false.
Often the active ingredients are not actually included or the product is full of synthetic additives. I have done my due diligence on Graymatter and what you see is what you get. The ingredients are truly there. It is not filled with a bunch of junk. And you can really feel it.
Often we take supplements without being sure if they are working or not. With Graymatter, the effects are immediately noticeable. They truly hit the mark on this product and its worth every penny."
5. Is Graymatter safe? What’s in it?
"Graymatter is formulated to be safe for daily use and is made from clinically studied, evidence-based ingredients. Each component such as Alpha-GPC, L-Tyrosine, Ashwagandha, Rhodiola, and Lion’s Mane—is backed by research for cognitive, mood, and stress support, while carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin protect against blue-light strain.
It contains 75 mg of natural caffeine from matcha, green tea, and guarana - about the same as a small cup of coffee—balanced with calming adaptogens to avoid jitters or crashes.
The product is third-party tested, manufactured in cGMP facilities, and free from artificial additives, ensuring both purity and safety."
6. How does Graymatter compare to other approaches?
"Unlike synthetic nootropics or prescription stimulants that target a single pathway, Graymatter takes a holistic, plant-based approach to cognitive enhancement.
It combines adaptogens, nootropics, functional mushrooms, and natural caffeine sources to support focus, energy, and stress resilience synergistically—without dependency or crash.
Each ingredient is research-backed and dosed for daily balance, addressing the full spectrum of mental performance: neurotransmitter support, blood flow, cortisol regulation, and antioxidant protection.
The result is a clean, comprehensive formula that optimizes brain function naturally, rather than overstimulating it."
