I'll bring some hope to a fearful topic
for a lot of you what makes you lose
brain health memory issues Alzheimer's
dementia brain decline cognitive decline
all of the above what makes you go there
and then reverse that what you can do
what you can be eating what are the
remedies right now that you can be
preventing losing any sort of brain
function I watch my grandmother have
Alzheimer's deteriorate end up not
knowing me or any family member at the
end of her life how do we not go there
maybe have a family member maybe you
have a friend maybe you're already
experiencing this yourself there is no
better time and no proper age to begin
this process everyone should be
practicing what I'm about to lay out for
you now before I dive in if you are
suffering from Long Haul viral memory
loss viral brain Decline and you know
that's exactly what it is I put a link
in the description for you for a virus
guide that's really been helping a lot
of people and a master class that really
breaks down how you can bolster the
immune system and undo that fat damage
it's a little bit separate when I'm
gonna then what I'm going to cover right
here I want to get into seven different
means by which your brain declines and
how you can counteract them very quickly
let's go number one right out of the
gates decreased brain development and so
your brain literally doesn't have the
billion blocks doesn't have the material
stops growing stops developing you're
constantly producing new brain cells
you're constantly firing and creating
new neurons memories connections
emotions inside of your head and so if
your brain stops doing that of course
there's essential a shrinkage there's
lack of development you're either
growing or dying so
let's go the right direction how can we
do this well one main brain food that
you could be putting in are eggs eggs
can do wonders for our brain health
specifically because of two nutrients
now these nutrients are certainly in
other foods but they're both very high
in eggs this is choline and lutein and
according to recent research choline is
an essential nutrient critical for fetal
brain health so babies need this to
develop their brains and then we do
throughout our lifetime it is found in
some foods but not a lot in America and
so that's why eggs one of the great
sources for this and they're one of the
highest amounts of choline of any food
and lutein which is super important for
development of the eyes but also plays a
role in cognitive function so lutein has
been long associated with Eye Health and
the health of the eyes obviously
connected right to the brain stem but it
does play a role in our cognitive
function X get them organic make sure
they are a free range form so that the
animal is fed proper so the toxins don't
end up in you very good for the brain
and allowing further brain development
problem number two with brain health
cognitive decline
so that
synapses and the firing the brain and
the sharpness just isn't quite there
from what you once had so if you find
yourself in that place and you feel just
like my I just don't feel like I have
the brain power I used to have main food
you want to focus on fish fish is an
incredible way to care for your brain
it's an incredible source of omega-3
fatty acids specifically you're looking
for EPA and DHA they are the building
blocks
of the brain the fat in the brain your
brain is up to or in excess of 60 fat
it's primarily these epas and dhas
long-term consumption of adequate
amounts of DHA is linked to improved
memory improved learning ability and
decreased rates of cognitive decline so
when it comes to choosing the best fish
for your brain a safe bet is to go for a
fatty fish more of a fatty kind salmon
would be a great option that's my
favorite uh the highest concentrations
of omega-3 fatty acids are found in
those cold water fish that are fatty a
sardine we mentioned salmon Herring tuna
uh Cod macro halibut uh even shark
you're going to want to make sure though
that it is wild caught to eliminate as
many chemicals as we can there's you
still can run out into some heavy metal
concentrations so trying to get as clean
version as you can to optimize those
omega-3 fatty acids that regulate the
brain's function and help fight off
memory Decline and Studies have even
shown that not consuming enough omega-3
fatty acids found in fatty fish are
actually linked to depression so this is
going to make you happier it's going to
make your brain happier it is absolutely
crucial to maintain the health of your
brain getting fish in every single week
if you struggle with getting fish in
then I recommend an omega-3 fish oil EPA
and DHA very high in those the one that
I created has 750 milligrams of those
two so you get a big amount if you
double it you get literally an NSAID an
anti-inflammatory that could be taken
but that's going to keep your brain fed
with the food that it needs to stay
sharp along the same lines that I added
into that omega-3 is turmeric and for
that reason I go to number three to
prevent plaquing that's right there can
be plaquing and build up in the arteries
and in the vessels of the of the brain
curcumin the active ingredient in
turmeric has been known to carry all the
brain health benefits studies have shown
when you highly absorb the turmeric it
can actually clear the plaquin that
builds up in the brain that causes
memory decline so this plaquin buildup
is not only a stroke risk problem but it
will decrease your memory and it
increases chances of Alzheimer's and
turmeric has been shown in studies to
reduce that so we want to get this in
but not only get it in but get it
absorbed into the blood so it can make
it to your brain and the key to doing
that is making sure it's emulsified
which is delivered with a fat delivery
mechanism everything you eat in your
body has to have a delivery system fat
is the best one for turmeric now some
people will say black pepper that's just
irritating the gut to get some of it
absorbed but the absolute best way to
increase the blood levels of your
turmeric to have that anticoagulant
effect as well as anti-placking effect
especially for your brain is to use it
with fats so that's why I like to
combine the Omega and the turmeric
together and the turmeric is already got
emulsified uh form of it to be delivered
and then you add it with the Omega you
get extra emulsification so they both
can get in there is brain food so I put
a link for that you can get more
information on it it's the one that I
use every single day but check that out
number four brain health declines when
you lose
neurotransmitters these are the
transmitters the fibers the chemicals
that make everything go in the synapses
of your brain and one key nutrient that
you can take to enhance your body's
ability to keep these neurotransmitters
coming is B12 now you might think of B12
if it's Just Energy but I guess this is
brain energy B12 is especially important
for improving overall mental health the
vitamin plays a vital role in producing
the neurotransmitter serotonin
serotonin is responsible for stabilizing
your mood and making you happy so you
feel like you're getting grumpier the
older you get you may be lacking some
B12 that's going to get that serotonin
going without B12 there's a concern for
clinical depression and deterioration of
the brain so proper B vitamins taking
them all together actually gets a
Synergy with them helps them absorb make
sure you especially have higher doses of
B12 if you want to prevent your brain
health adding in a simple multivitamin
or like I take my collagen with my
multivitamin together uh they're
combined those are easy ways that you
can get all eight of the primary B
vitamins and high doses of Vitamin B12
your brain will thank you the fifth
enemy that causes cognitive decline and
poor brain health are free radicals
chemicals and busted up chemical
equations that now have floating around
particles that are free radicals like
radicals in your system causing all
kinds of damage is what you can view
them as the combatant to these free
radicals and your brain health are
anti-oxidants interesting enough the
highest level of antioxidants that most
of us get As Americans comes from coffee
so if that is your primary source make
sure you're getting it organic and its
least processed as you can green leafy
vegetables and fruits low in sugar full
of antioxidants the antioxidant
Powerhouse though that I'll highlight
right here for brain health specifically
vitamin E it functions as in the mother
of all antioxidants actually protects
other antioxidants and it supports
overall brain health so vitamin E
actually protects the brain from
oxidative stress so the production and
the accumulation of this oxygen and this
oxidative stress in the brain it if it's
not balanced out creates all kinds of
damage and declines mental health some
of the side effects of oxidative stress
if you're wondering if you actually have
oxidative stress in the brain the
biggest warning signs of it are fatigue
memory loss and reoccurring headaches
which makes sense you know or constant
yawning you know we're trying to get
more oxygen into the brain we're having
a headache because we don't have enough
oxygen to the brain this might be the
very thing that you need more
antioxidants and the best one for brain
health is a simple vitamin E now keep in
mind it is a fat soluble vitamin so
vitamin E needs to be consumed with fat
which your brain loves already so having
an Omega supplement for example that
you're taking with vitamin e in it
that's one way to get it or taking fat
soluble vitamins together vitamin A d e
and K helps all of them get to absorbed
better make sure you take them with fat
like my vitamin D complex comes with fat
in it and then these are all together
very good for brain health vitamin E to
fight off that fatigue that memory loss
that fogginess reoccurring headaches
vitamin E the number six threat to brain
health is lacking the material to build
the building blocks of the brain and one
of the main main building blocks one of
the main raw materials that this
building needs amino acids amino acids
are the building blocks of the
neurotransmitters inside of your brain
that are sending those messages and so
for example without amino acids without
tryptophan or 5-HTP as it's called your
brain couldn't produce serotonin there
that's where the word again ends the
feel-good hormone right helps generate
feelings of well-being and happiness you
can't produce it if you don't have
certain amino acids very similarly
another common amino acid l-tyrosine is
the precursor to dopamine the
neurotransmitter that's responsible for
influencing our mood our feelings of
reward motivation overall satisfaction
with life so getting proper amino acids
in and taking in complete proteins or
nearly complete proteins will give you
the sources of all these amino acids so
my favorites eggs show up again they're
a complete protein very good for the
brain uh tuna canned tuna excellent
source course 472 milligrams of
tryptophan or 5-HTP per
ounce of tuna turkey chicken other great
sources of amino acids cheese in the raw
form make sure it's not processed nuts
and seeds are great forms and collagen
protein powder now collagen does not
have tryptophan in it so you'll want to
be eating Meats along with it but
collagen does have 19 different amino
acids so all very good options for
giving your brain the building blocks so
it can keep building and not be
deteriorating we want walls going up not
walls coming down and number seven which
I think is the most impactful number one
thing that impacts your brain health a
brain on
fire I need like some fire coming out of
my head when I do that Brain on Fire
there's been so many articles magazine
covers Time magazine covers showing the
detrimental effects of inflammation 98
of diseases caused from it specifically
brain disorders Alzheimer's dementia
even Parkinson's Brain on Fire
inflammation in the brain is a major
major problem uh your brain consumes 60
70 of the sugar that is in your body the
glucose that is needed to produce energy
that's how you can just be sitting at
your desk
not moving all day long and come home
exhausted because your brain is just
processing like crazy you're working
even though you're not physically moving
your brain is spending a lot of energy
so this imbalance of the sugars that
we're putting into our system the lack
of clean forms of that fuel that your
brain has to try to run off of and what
happens is your brain is consuming lots
of energy and it's like burning diesel
fuel you know there's a ever been behind
a diesel truck it's coming through your
AC and you're like you can really smell
that that's what your brain is like when
it's burning a lot of unclean food
inflammatory food or really processed
sugar so it's a Brain on Fire it's kind
of grinding through the day and that's
hard on it over time that leads to brain
decline stress adds a lot of this
inflammation in the brain almost you can
feel this when you're so stressed out
it's like oh my gosh I just need to
unplug this thing to allow it to cool
down it's like an iron it's red hot
right when your brain is just fire and
you're just dealing with a lot you're
just oh I need to get away so brain on
fire this specific mechanism now this is
sort of a whole category in itself there
isn't one food I can give you to put
this fire out however I did make a
complete training to quickly start
undoing the inflammation specifically in
your brain and that's the next video I
put right here so you can get this
stress under control prevent the memory
loss that comes from it and cool off
your main mechanism check out this next
video right here so you can dive into
inflammation of the brain
