Brain Coach Takes: 3 most effective supplements.
Our brain is the most sophisticated machine in the entire Universe! Our brain is also the most nutrient-demanding organ! Our brain will shrink without some, we'll get depressed without others, and one will help you learn faster, stay focused longer and generate more ideas.
1. 💊Full spectrum, natural multi vitamin/mineral
There's been a recent analysis of data. People who take daily multi have brains that work better over time. No downside, low cost, the brain that works better - why wouldn't you take them? It's almost impossible to get everything you need from your diet consistently. Supplements work. Choose a good one (natural work better, ask for advice), take it daily - have a brain that works better now and later. (Here's a short video of my supplement routine on Instagram)
2. 🐟2 grams of Omega 3s per day (EPA + DHA)
These fats are structural material for your brain connections. When you learn, change, and memorize you need to build and update neural connections. Without essential fats, specifically marine Omega 3s - you'll have limited capacity to change your brain. In fact, it'll shrink as I learned in one of the New Scientist Magazine courses from top brain researchers. Read labels. The daily recommended amount for the optimal brain - 2 grams. Check the back label. How to get it from food? A big piece of salmon, sardines or mackerel - 200g.
3. 📚Alpha-GPC 300mg before focus and learning
Andrew Huberman's favorite for focus and learning. This supplement is transformed into acetylcholine in the brain - an essential brain molecule for focus, learning and dreaming (among other things like muscle contraction, digestion and turning rest-digest mode on). How to get choline from food? 3 eggs daily (it's in the yolk).
