FOG OFF Formulator and Sureokgo Formulator
Designed FOG OFF's formula based on clinical observation treating brain fog across geriatric, post-COVID, and athletic populations.
Not Your Typical "Doctor-Formulated" Supplement
FOG OFF wasn't formulated in a supplement company boardroom. It was built by a physician who spent three decades in clinical medicine — from the crumbling hospitals of post-communist Romania to France's modern healthcare system to the front lines of COVID-19 — and another two decades working with elite combat athletes who push their bodies and minds to the absolute limit.
Dr. Alexandru-Theodor Amarfei doesn't believe in magic pills. He believes in biology, mechanism, and what he's seen actually work — in patients who couldn't think straight, and in world-champion fighters who needed to stay sharp through brutal training camps.
Why This Matters
Most "doctor-formulated" supplements are rubber-stamped by physicians with no clinical experience treating the condition the product claims to address. Dr. Amarfei has treated brain fog across three distinct populations: geriatric patients with cognitive decline, post-COVID patients with persistent mental dysfunction, and elite athletes experiencing cognitive fatigue. The FOG OFF formula reflects this unusually broad clinical perspective.
"Who Do We Let Die Today?"
To understand how Dr. Amarfei approaches medicine — and why FOG OFF exists — you need to understand one moment in 1993.
"Who Do We Let Die Today?"
In 1993, Dr. Amarfei was a fresh cardiology resident when his department received a donation from Belgium: 40 thrombolysis kits — medication that could stop a heart attack in progress and prevent permanent damage if administered quickly.
His mentor, a senior physician he still speaks of with reverence, announced to the team: "I have here the equivalent of two apartments in the city center. And I'm telling you — we will not take a single bribe for them."
They didn't. They used the kits on patients who needed them, first-come-first-served, no favoritism.
Then came the inevitable day. Three patients arrived in the cardiac emergency unit. All three were having heart attacks. All three had the right profile for treatment. All three were middle-aged fathers with young children.
There were two kits left.
Dr. Amarfei later wrote about this moment: "With the inexperience still fresh on my face, I encountered my first decision of 'who do we let die today' — and I understood it would be far from the last, even if we moved all the forces of the galaxy."
They drew lots. They prayed. By some grace, all three survived — even the one who didn't receive the medication.
That moment shaped everything that came after. Medicine, for Dr. Amarfei, is not about having all the answers. It's about making the best possible decision with incomplete information, under pressure, when the stakes are life and death. It's about integrity when no one's watching. And sometimes, when you've done everything you can, it's about faith.
What This Means For You
When Dr. Amarfei formulated FOG OFF, he wasn't thinking about marketing claims or trendy ingredients. He was thinking about the thousands of patients he's watched struggle with cognitive dysfunction — and what actually helps them. The formula reflects 30 years of clinical observation, not 30 minutes of Googling "best nootropics."

FOG OFF Launch
Formulates FOG OFF based on clinical observations from geriatric medicine, post-COVID recovery, and sports medicine.
20+ Years Ringside with World Champions
While building his medical career, Dr. Amarfei was deeply embedded in Romania's kickboxing scene. He worked with Respect Gym in Bucharest — one of the most successful combat sports gyms in Eastern Europe — serving as both trainer and ringside medical support for Local Kombat and SUPERKOMBAT events.
Andrei Stoica
Top-ranked light heavyweight. Trained with UFC's Alexander Gustafsson, who said sparring with him was "like fighting a bear."

Former SUPERKOMBAT and Enfusion world champion. One of Romania's most decorated kickboxers.
Ionuț "Pitbull" Atodiresei
Romanian Kickboxing Hall of Fame. Career spanned 20+ years at the highest levels of the sport.
Why Combat Sports Experience Matters for Brain Fog
Working with elite athletes teaches something no textbook can: how the body and brain perform under extreme stress — and how they recover. Combat athletes deal with cortisol spikes, sleep disruption, cognitive fatigue, and the need for split-second decision-making under pressure. Dr. Amarfei saw firsthand what compounds and protocols helped fighters maintain mental sharpness through brutal training camps. That knowledge directly informed FOG OFF's formulation — particularly the focus on cortisol management (Phosphatidylserine) and clean energy without stimulant crash (Black Maca, no caffeine).
Honest Medicine, No Shortcuts
If you read Dr. Amarfei's writings (he's a prolific essayist in Romanian), one thing becomes clear: he has no patience for bullshit.
He's publicly critical of:
- Doctors who take bribes (common in Romania during his time there)
- Politicians who underfund healthcare while grandstanding
- A medical establishment that pretends to have answers when it doesn't
- Patients who expect magic pills instead of doing the work
- The supplement industry's culture of hype over substance
In a 2020 interview about COVID treatments, he said:
"We must be honest with ourselves and admit that the one who claims to know whether there will be a second wave or not is in about the same position as a meteorologist trying to answer 'do you think it will snow after mid-November?' We have been poorly accustomed to believing that there's nothing we don't know when we have so much science — which has led to a genuine panic in the system about saying, honestly, 'we don't know.' Or at least 'we don't know for sure.'"
— Dr. Alexandru-Theodor Amarfei, Podul Magazine, May 2020This intellectual honesty carries over to FOG OFF:
- No proprietary blends — every ingredient and dose is disclosed
- No miracle claims — it's a tool, not a cure
- No hidden ingredients — what's on the label is what's in the bottle
- No overnight promises — effects build over 1-2 weeks because that's how the biology works
Faith and Medicine
Dr. Amarfei is a practicing Christian — and that shapes how he approaches medicine. Not through mysticism, but through humility. The kind of humility that says "I don't know everything, but I'll do my best with what I do know." The kind that drew lots and prayed when two kits remained for three dying fathers. It's a rare thing in modern medicine: a doctor comfortable admitting the limits of his own knowledge while still showing up every day to help. FOG OFF reflects that same posture — not a miracle cure, just the best tools we have, honestly applied.
"Doctor-Formulated" — What It Usually Means vs. Dr. Amarfei
| Typical "Doctor-Formulated" | Dr. Amarfei |
|---|---|
| Academic credentials only | 30+ years treating actual patients |
| One specialty | General Practice + Geriatric Medicine + Sports Medicine |
| Comfortable Western practice | Trained in resource-scarce communist-era Romania |
| No athletic experience | 20+ years with elite combat athletes (GLORY, WAKO-Pro) |
| No COVID experience | Directed post-COVID recovery unit |
| Formula handed to them | Formula built from clinical + athletic observation |
| Marketing-first approach | Mechanism-first approach |
"I've spent three decades watching patients struggle to think clearly — in post-communist hospitals with nothing, in modern French units with everything, and in COVID wards where no one knew what to do. I've spent twenty years watching fighters try to stay sharp through training camps that would break most people. FOG OFF is what I wish I could have handed all of them. Not a miracle. Just the right compounds, at the right doses, targeting the right mechanisms."
