DR. MIKE DOW, PSYCHOTHERAPIST,

GOOD MORNING, DOCTOR.
HOW YOU DOING THIS MORNING?
>> GOOD MORNING, HOW ARE YOU?
>> I'M DOING WELL, THANK YOU.
WHY IS BRAIN HEALTH SOMETHING
THAT SO MANY
PEOPLE ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT NOW?
>> I THINK MORE AND MORE
AMERICANS AREE EXPERIENCING WHAT
WE CALL BRAIN FOG, RIGHT.
IT'S YOU WALKING INTO A ROOM NOT
REMEMBERING WHY YOU'RE THERE.
IT'S, WHERE DID I PARK MY CAR OR
WHERE ARE MY KEYS OR MAYBE
YOU'RE YOUNGER AND YOU'RE ON
YOUR PHONE CHECKING INSTAGRAM
WHILE YOU'RE TRYING TO ANSWER A
TEXTXT AND YOU FEEL LIKE YOU HAVE
A LITTLE SCATTERBRAIN AND CAN'T
FOCUS.
THERE'S SO MUCH CHANGEDD IN OUR
LIVES, MORE STRESS.
WE'RE SLEEPING LESS.
WE'RE WORKING MORE.
CHANGE..
THE CHANGE IN OUR WORLD.
SO ALL OF THESE THINGS TOGETHER
OF COURSE I HAVE TOO
TALK ABOUT
CHANGED AND
WHAT AMERICANS ARE
TENDING TO EAT MORE AND MORE
THESE DAYS, AND THAT IS WHY WE
AREE SEEING THIS SPIKE IN MILD
COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT, WHICH IS
RIGHT.
WE KNOW MORE AND MORE PEOPLE ARE
ACTUALLY BEING DIAGNOSED WITH
REAL AND SOMETIMES SEVERE CASESES
OF BRAIN FOG, BUT I DON'T WANT
PEOPLE TO WORRY.Y.
WHAT I DO WANT PEOPLE TO DO IS
REALIZE THERE'S SO MUCH THAT YOU
CAN DO EACH AND EVERY DAY TO
TAKE CARE OF YOUR MOST PRECIOUS
ORGAN WHICH IS BETWEEN YOUR
EARS, AND THAT'S YOUR BRAIN.
>> THAT'S REALLY GOOD TO KNOW.
NOW, SCATTERED BRAIN I THOUGHT
WAS A PERSONALITY TRAIT OF MINE,
AND I'M NOT THAT OLD, BUT IS
BRAIN SOMETHING ONLY OLDER
>>>>
NO, ABSOLUTELY NOT.
IN FACT WHEN IT COMES TO THE
BRAIN AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION IS
WORTH A FOUND OF CURE.
IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY TO START,
AND IF YOU'RE FEELING THAT
SCATTERBRAIN IT'S TIME TO GO ON
THE OFFENSIVE AND USE SOME OF
THE STRATEGIES THAT I'D LIKE TO
TALK TO YOU ABOUT TODAY.
>> SO WHAT ARE THOSE STRATEGIES?
WHAT ARE THINGS PEOPLE CAN DO TO
IMPROVE THEIR BRAIN HEALTH?
>> YEAH, SO IF YOU'RE SOMEBODYDY
LIKE YOU AND YOU'RE YOUNGER AND
OROR
IF YOU'RE EXPERIENCING THOSE
SENIOR MOMENTS HERE ARE A FEW
THE FIRST THING IS
TO DO
SOMETHING THAT CHALLENGES YOU
EACH AND EVERY DAY.
WHEN YOU DO THAT IT'S LIKE
YOU'RE MAKING $100 DEPOSIT INTO
ACCOUNT IS YOUR BRAIN.
THIS IS A CONFLICT CALLED
MONEY YOU'VE PUT
INTO THAT
ACCOUNT OVER THE LONG TERM, OVER
THE COURSE OF YOUR LIFE, THE
MORE YOU HAVE TO SPARE, AND
YOU'LL BE LESS LIKELY TO BE
DIAGNOSED WITH BRAIN FOG AND
ALSO DEMENTIA.
ALSO I NEED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT
COGNIUM IS A BREAK THROUGH
BRAIN-HEALTH SUPPLEMENT.
IT'S THE ONLY BRAIN-HEALTH
SUPPLEMENT WITHTH AN ACTIVE
INGREDIENT MADE FROM SILK
PROTEIN THAT'S PROVEN TO BE
NOW,W,
I'M A RESEARCH NERD, AND
THEORYY
DOUBLE-BLIND STUDIES IN
PUBLISHED, PEER-REVIEW JIEWRNLS,
AND WE KNOW IT LED TO MEMORY AND
COGNITION.
IT BOOSTED BLOOD FLOW TO THE
PARTS OF THE BRAIN INVOLVING
MEMORY AND COGNITION AND HAVE A
NEURO EFFECT BECAUSE IT WORKS AS
AN ANTIOXIDANT.
THE THIRD THING I WANT THE
LISTENERS TO DO EVERY DAY IS
BERRIES, BERRIES ANDND MORE
BERRIES.
THERE'S SOMETHING CALLED THE
BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER WHICH WAS
TO KEEP THE
TOXINS OUT, BUT
UNFORTUNATELY IT MEANS THAT
CERTAIN ANTIOXIDANTS CAN'T MAKE
THEIR WAY INTO THE BRAIN TO
PROTECT IT, BUT WE KNOW CERTAIN
ANTIOXIDANTS, SOSO COFFEE, TEA,
JUST THREE CUPS OF COFFEE A DAY
CAN REDUCE YOUR RISK OF DEMENTIA
BY 65%.
EATING DARK CHOCOLATE INSTEAD OF
ICE CREAM.
WE
WANT TO SWITCH TO OLIVE OIL
AND AVOCADOS AND NUTS AND MOVING
AWAY FROMOM THE KINDS OF FATS
FOUND IN THE STANDARD AMERICAN
DIET THAT WILL INFLAME THE
BRAIN, SO IF YOU PUT ALL OF THIS
TOGETHER, SO IF YOU MAKE COFFEEE
A PART OF
YOUR ROUTINE, HAVE
BLUE BERRIES TONIGHT.
WALK A MILE BECAUSE BY THE WAY
JUST WALKING A MILE A DAY CAN
REDUCE YOUR RISK OF DEMENTIA BY
ABOUT 50%, AND EATING HEALTHIER
FATS LIKE OLIVE OIL, AVOCADOS,
NUTS, REALL DARK CHOCOLATE, NOT
MILK CHOCOLATE, BUT DARK
CHOCOLATE.
YOU PUT ALL OF THESE TOGETHER
AND IT'S AN INTEGRATIVE,
HOLISTIC STRATEGY, AND YOU'LL
REDUCE YOUR RISK OF BRAIN FOG
AND MOMMY BRAIN MOMENTS THE REST
OF YOUR LIFE.

THAT ENCAN YOUENCOURAGES ME TO EAT MORE
