We're all guilty of it, in fact you are probably doing it
right now, multitasking.
It seems to be our middle name, and
the effects on our health can be devastating, here to talk about
this from Brain Juice, founder and CEO Sam Elick along with
President Justine Bailey.
Good morning!
Alright, so I'm sure everybody out
there is saying, I'm a multitasker.
Are you a multitasker?
I am definitely a multitasker.
Do you have childen?
Yes, I have a two year old.
Children, moms multitask.
It's amazing!
Alright so what are we doing to our brain?
Frying it!
Think about how much stimulation someone had 500
years ago, compared to today.
We've got our iPhones, we've got our iPad, we're driving,
we've got the news, TV, internet.
My mom is always saying, I don't know how you
guys are doing it, you are crazy!
500 years ago, you are on a farm and maybe you read one
book in your life.
Right?
(laughter.)
And we are here with just so much, so we deplete
ourselves.
We deplete ourselves of important neurochemicals that
our brain needs to perform at its peak and so we need to make
sure we are eating the right foods and supplementing the
right way to feed our brains and fill it back up.
And is that one way to improve our brain health?
Or are there other ways?
Absolutely.
There are many different ways.
Three of the top ones, our number one keep your
brain active, and exercise your brain.
So be memorizing things, thinking, people who let their
brain deteriorate are people who like retire and stop doing
anything, you notice their brain just kind of deteriorates like a
muscle.
So that's one thing.
The other thing is, keep it clean, we are in a society of
lots of toxins these days, we have toxins in the air, the
water, the food.
So it is important to have filtered
water, air filters in our homes and eat clean food.
Organic foods are usually the best,
because it doesn't have pesticides in it, right?
And then the other thing is to feed
it the right things that replenish the neurochemicals,
and there is a lot of foods that replenish the Aceltycholine
which is the neurotransmitter that your brain uses for mental
focus, mental clarity, and memory recall.
There's lots of great foods for that.
Now I know you also brought brain juice
here, which has that in it, say that name again.
Aceltycholine.
Brain Juice has all the natural nutrients your brain needs to
produce Aceltycholine.
Okay so Justine let's talk about Brain
Juice right now.
Yeah, brain juice is full of super food
powders, vitamins, and then brain supplements; so it is all
the nutrients you need to produce Aceltycholine on your
own.
So you don't get dependent on it, it is something
that, it is like eating a good, healthy, nourishing salad, where
it helps you.
And you actually feel it when you get that
Aceltycholine inside of you?
Yeah!
You feel it within minutes.
Almost like an adrenaline rush, if you will?
Kind of yeah, it's almost like.
Sure!
It's uplifting, you feel uplifted, zoned in and
just ready to go.
And what was your inspiration Sam to
developing this?
I used to have trouble concentrating in school.
Oh!
And so I turned to stimulates, I grew up in what I
call the energy drink generation so, you know energy drinks,
coffee, and I would just, you know cram late at night because
that was the only way to get myself
to focus on my school work.
And then when I was in graduate
school, I realized, I've just been treating my brain like
crap.
So I thought there's gotta be something I can feed my
brain and I was like my last dying brain cell, like oh
what can I actually feed my brain to give it the nutrients
that it needs to be clear and focused and operate at its peak.
And it's hard to focus today with everything going on!
Because there's so much going on.
So I went on this quest to figure it out.
And I ended up meeting a guy who is a
biochemist, his name is Peter Kerbee and he studied
neurochemistry with one of the top neurochemists in the world
and um, so we thought why don't we put everything that
your brain needs into one bottle and it's liquid so it absorbs
faster and you get a higher absorption rate than pills and
you drink it and boom within minutes your brain is turned on.
That's great.
So what about maybe the afternoon hour where
you are kind of tired, I turn to Cuban coffee which I know is
terrible but Oh yeah!
Will this help me out?
Absolutely.
It's perfect for that, yeah
definitely.
I wake up I have a two year old that wakes up early
in the morning, I got work out and by the time two o'clock,
three o'clock rolls around, I'm feeling like uhhhh I
don't want to think I don't want to do anything.
I drink a brain juice and just minutes
later I'm like okay!
I'm back, I'm ready to go.
And it's caffeine free!
Yes, we have one that has Yes, it's
caffeine free and this has a little bit of green tea in it
Some green tea caffeine in it and there's one that's
caffeine free, so this one just has about a third as much
caffeine as a cup of coffee, about as much as you get from
tea.
Just to give, because you know some people want a little
uplifting boost.
This one's better for the afternoon or if
you're sensitive to caffeine.
And obviously better than a sugar crash right?
Absolutely.
Yeah.
We don't use any refined sugars, it's almost as
important what's not in brain juice.
There's no gluten, it is GMO free, no refined sugars,
there's only 10 calories and we use as many organic
ingredients as possible.
And it has that word again, what is it?
Aceltycholine.
Which is very important.
Absolutely.
So you see now when my mom says how are
you doing it all?
Brain juice.
Boom.
There you go.
Boom.
Where can I find it Justine?
That was cute.
You can find it at Whole Foods and on Amazon and our
website Natural Brain Juice dot com Natural Brain Juice dot com
