today we’re gonna talk about the brain

and how to keep your brain really young

and healthy sound good

okay so the raw material of the brain

which basically makes up the structure a

good portion of it is something called

DHA this is you know mega 3 fatty acid

okay comes from fish shellfish and

definitely cod liver oil and salmon so

you want to start consuming more fish to

get more of this to give your brain what

it needs structurally and in a growing

child it’s extremely important but in a

pregnant female it’s even more important

now the fuel that the brain prefers is

ketones way over glucose it does need a

certain amount of glucose but don’t

worry about that because your body can

make glucose from ketones and from fat

and from protein so we don’t need to

consume glucose to feed our brain

prefers ketones if you have glucose and

ketones in the blood the brain will

always take ketones first so if you’re

transitioning to ketosis and let’s say

you have an insulin resistance or you’re

pre-diabetic or you’re diabetic and it

takes longer

you can add MCT oil to beef up no pun

intended your ketones to basically get

more ketones in your brain and your

brain will be happier you’ll have more

energy so let’s talk about the different

ways your brain can become damaged one

way is to deprive it of magnesium now

when you have a subclinical magnesium

deficiency maybe you don’t consume

enough vegetables or food with magnesium

the energy that’s generated in little

factories called mitochondria and your

neurons are going to be deprived and

you’re gonna lose the quantity and the

density of these synapses okay so

magnesium is really really important

there’s a type of magnesium that works

way better for the brain than other

types of magnesium magnesium l three and

eight this magnesium has a special

quality of penetrating the blood-brain

barrier going in there and restoring

these synapses and increasing the

density of them

and it’s great for increasing memory

cognitive function learning and

extending your sleep a little longer as

well but don’t forget to consume the

green foods and I’m not talking about

lime green jello or pistachio ice cream

I’m talking about vegetables

okay now iron is a very toxic mineral

for the brain and for the liver and for

the heart if it’s in excess amounts

it’s very corrosive it oxidizes the

brain if you find that you have high

iron it’s a good idea to get tested EDTA

it’s a key later will help remove the

excess just make sure you don’t keep

putting it back in by consuming certain

supplements with a lot of iron I’m gonna

put a link down below with more

information on this specifically if you

haven’t seen my video on iron it’s

really important okay next thing is

atrophy of the brain if you have insulin

resistance or you’re pre-diabetic or

you’re diabetic what’s going to happen

over time the brain is gonna have

atrophy it’s going to shrink and that’s

going to create a lot of problems with

your cognitive function to help mitigate

that or reverse that you want to do

ketosis how do you ketosis you would

drop your carbs and you do intermittent

fasting real simple now certain parts of

the brain have the capacity to grow new

neurons thank goodness the parts of the

brain that are involved with memory can

regenerate so to get new brain cells

Henneman fasting is probably the most

important thing and also regular

consistent exercise can also help with

that and it’ll also increase this other

thing called BDNF brain-derived

neurotrophic factor which is like

miracle-gro

for your brain and these are the two

triggers there’s other triggers as well

okay zinc very important in preventing

something called amyloid plaque Ignatz

involved in Alzheimer’s so this is kind

of a type of protein that accumulates in

this area right here of the synapses and

it interferes with the communication

between the brain and you start getting

dementia so zinc is very very important

into preventing this the other thing

that’s really important in getting rid

of ammo like locking is in a minute

fasting in periodic prolonged fasting

cellphones

very very dangerous to your brain okay

especially when you’re holding it right

here never hold your cell phone you’re

gonna get EMF if you haven’t seen my

video on that you definitely need to

watch it this is not weird or a myth or

something it’s real you need I put a

link down below but do not touch the

cell phone to your skull while you’re

talking like this hold it out here or

have on speakerphone and definitely

don’t use the Bluetooth I talked more

about it in my video and there’s a

couple of things that can counter EMF

radiation niacin at 50 milligrams per

day would be good also intermittent

fasting is very beneficial vestrum oils

which caused a lot of oxidation and it’s

similar to the effects that glucose will

give you as well as iron so do not

consume corn oil canola cottonseed and

soy oil instead olive oil is much better

okay over here we have hypoxia okay

that’s a situation where you’re you have

a loss of oxygen in certain parts of

your brain that could come from many

things let’s see you had trauma to the

head at some point let’s say it a stroke

CIA your your parents dropped you on

your head is a baby or we have sleep

apnea and you’re restricting the oxygen

to your brain a couple things to do one

is a robic exercise that’s getting out

there walking or riding your bike or a

jog consistently every day that will

increase the oxygen to the brain the

other thing that’s really hot is this

hyperbaric oxygen therapy I’m gonna put

a link down below but hyperbaric oxygen

therapy has some serious hardcore

research behind it it’s extremely

effective and you’ll definitely want to

know more about it especially if you

wanted to fix this right here you

basically put it in a container and the

oxygen is increased to nearly a hundred

percent normally the air that you

breathe

it’s like 21% oxygen well in a

hyperbaric chamber they’re gonna

increase it close to 100% and with all

the pressure involved it’s going to

force oxygen into your lungs into your

blood cells into the entire tissues up

into the brain so if there’s any areas

of damaged or pockets of hypoxia or

ischemia which is a lack of oxygen

oxygen it’ll feed that and help heal

those tissues they use it for many many

conditions but it’s great for your brain

next thing is ketones run your bun and

ketones will increase the o2 and

decrease the co2 now there’s another

condition which I believe many people

have a subclinical version of this but

it’s called wernicki Korsakoff this is a

b1 deficiency it’s gonna affect your

memory especially in the development of

new memories

it’s gonna affect your gait eventually

can bring you to apathy affect your

vision and sleep apnea simple b1 a lot

of people are deficient in b12 they

don’t even know it why are people

deficient in B 1 because it’s involved

in the energy factory mitochondria the

cell when you’re dealing with glucose so

if you’re doing glucose or refined

carbohydrates or sugar you’re gonna burn

up your b1 very fast and you’re gonna

create a deficiency so glucose high

fructose corn syrup alcohol white rice

will just burn this up and start to

develop these conditions right here

there’s a lot of other conditions that a

deficiency of b1 can create as well I

put a link down below in the description

of a talk I did on b1 at the summit in

2018 if you haven’t seen that that’s a

really good presentation now when you’re

deficient in iodine okay it can affect

your IQ so if you’d like to keep your IQ

up iodine is the answer

alright selenium if you’re deficient you

can have mercury toxicity because what

happens is if there’s too much mercury

in the brain it can lock up the selenium

and that’s involved in the antioxidant

Network glutathione for example and then

you’re deficient in that and now

you you can’t really get rid of all the

free radicals in the oxidation so

selenium is very very important and then

vitamin D which mostly part deficient in

that as well if you’re low in vitamin D

you’re gonna have way more inflammation

that you want of the brain as well also

you’re not gonna have good sleep so

vitamin D is good for that so how could

you kind of condense all this data into

five things here we go

shellfish will give you sink copper

iodine selenium and DHA also if you add

in there other fish fatty fish halibut

salmon and also cod liver oil you’re

gonna get it enough DHA as well the Sun

okay I get more Sun get more vitamin D

it’s virtually impossible to get your

vitamin D from food so you have to get

it from Sun or just take it greens dark

leafy greens folate magnesium potassium

keto that’s a given in a minute fasting

vital and regular exercise there you

have it this is the summary right here

thanks for watching

thank you
