I don't know if you realize this, but as we age, our brain not only declines in function, but it is one of the number one fears people have, is losing their mind. You use the term, "I'm losing my mind," but people really do and if you've been around relatives who have Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, you realize how absolutely horrific it is.
People would rather live in an unhealthy body than have their brain not functioning properly. So we're going to teach you, whether you're a student, an executive, an athlete, how to turbo charge your brain.
If you have not heard about the ketogenic diet, it is the ultimate brain boosting program out there. Keto helps you use fat as fuel and those ketone bodies that you create fuel your mind. This can help take you to the next level. This is a powerful hack that executives are using, athletes are using, Silicon Valley gamers and programmers are using.

If you can't manage your time well, you're going to be stressed. If you can manage time well, you're going to be happier, and you're going to have plenty of time for all the things that are important to you.
This is a hard one because if you're like me, you don't want to forget things, so I'm always trying to plan and sometimes I over plan. But, folks, the way to improve your brain to not have as many "failures" in your memory and focus is to time manage better. You can boost your brain and it's important for every area of life.
the first step is to figure out what your goals are. And I think goal-setting is really, really important. You should be setting goals throughout your life, and constantly reevaluating. Because of course you and your world is, you know, constantly changing. Write them down. You can always change your plans later, but you have to have plans, or you know, you'll just be lost.
Imagine you are offered to give up 30 minutes of your morning time in exchange for free a magic pill. The pill improves your learning capability reduce your anxiety and stress improves your mood and motivation and generally it makes you a better version of yourself for the rest of the day.
So would you take that offer? Well what I just described is the reason why you should exercise. When you think of exercising the first things that comes to your mind are the benefits or maybe losing weight or having a healthier heart. But the real benefits of exercise happen in the brain.
Exercise is amazing. It helps balance your hormones, it helps decrease brain suppressive chemicals. If you move your body, your brain will function better. And you've heard the term probably psychosomatic. That means that you've got physical issues that are related to your brain. But what about soma-psychotic? That means that your body is not healthy, so therefore, your brain isn't healthy. Exercising is key, not only to burn fat, not only to maintain strong bones, but to boost your brain power.
There are key supplements that will transform your brain health. A few that come to mind are lion's mane mushroom, otherwise known Hericium erinaceus. That is the number one brain supplement. By the way, draxe.com just posted a brand new article on lion's mane and its importance for the brain.
Phosphatidylserine, Bacopa or Brahmi, which is an Ayurvedic herb, also known as waterhyssop, vinpocetine which comes from periwinkle. Those are just a few powerful brain boosting supplements. Certainly, omega-3s, MCTs, etc. Supplements are a great way to boost your brain and manage your stress. When you have high levels of cortisol, stress chemicals, it can affect your brain.
One way to reduce stress is to consume adaptogenic herbs and mushrooms in the form of supplements and herbal infusions. Adaptogens are great. The more cortisol you have, the worse your brain functions, the more depressed you are, etc. And by the way, having excess body fat definitely drains your brain as well.
