Grow New Brain Cells
The Neurogenesis Diet

Despite popular belief, it is actually possible to Grow New Brain Cells with a Neurogenesis Diet and exercise. Learn what brain boosters and supplements you need.

Dr. Brant Cortright suggests the following foods which encourages Neurogenesis or the formation of new brain cells:

  • Wild caught Fish
  • Grass fed Beef
  • Grass fed Dairy (milk)
  • Cheese
  • Pastured chicken & eggs
  • Butter
  • Saturated fats : Coconut oil, lard, ghee
  • Avacado
  • Nuts
  • Bioflavonoids (Quercitin, Hesperidin, Apigenin, Diosmin)
  • Mulberries
  • Red Sage (Salvia)
  • Goji Berries
  • Vitamin B6 & B12

Avoid these foods which are inflammatory and bad for the brain :

  • Burnt foods/Meat
  • Vegetable oil - Oxidized fats

Remember to get sufficient sleep (at least 7 hours a night)

Dr. Brant Cortright: "The Neurogenesis Diet" | Talks at Google

Important for all knowledge workers, this talk lays out how to powerfully enhance cognitive function by increasing neurogenesis (the process of making new brain cells). New discoveries in neuroscience reveal that your rate of neurogenesis is the most important bio-marker of brain health you’ve never heard of.

Low rates of neurogenesis are associated with cognitive decline, memory problems, stress, anxiety and depression. High rates of neurogenesis are associated with cognitive enhancement, memory improvement, and protection from stress and depression. Most people live in the middle, with adequate but suboptimal brain function.

Brant Cortright, Ph.D., is a professor of psychology at CIIS. He is the author of the #1 international bestseller "The Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle: Upgrade Your Brain, Upgrade Your Life". He is a clinical psychologist with a consulting practice in cutting-edge brain health and neuroscience-informed depth therapy.

Potential Discovery To Get Rid Of Spike Protein

Dr. Tina Peers discusses a potential new discovery in eliminating spike protein and reducing long-haul symptoms. Other compounds have been studied like Quercetin, Bromelain, NAC and Nattokinase to name a few. Please do your own research on these supplements.

Neurogenesis - Grow New Brain Cells With Exercise I David Perlmutter MD

Back in Medical School we were told that we were given a certain number of brain cells and that was it for life. However, this idea that humans do not grow new brain cells is now fully demonstrated to be wrong. How exciting it is that we possess the ability to re-grow new brain cells, a process called neurogenesis. Not only that, but we retain this ability throughout our entire lifetimes. So you might be wondering: What can I do to increase neurogenesis? In this video we will explore at least one way to make this happen.

You Can Grow New Brain Cells. Here's How | Sandrine Thuret | TED Talks

Can we, as adults, grow new neurons? Neuroscientist Sandrine Thuret says that we can, and she offers research and practical advice on how we can help our brains better perform neurogenesis—improving mood, increasing memory formation and preventing the decline associated with aging along the way.

Dr. David Perlmutter's Brain Maker

Board-Certified Neurologist Dr. David Perlmutter received his M.D. from the University of Miami School of Medicine. He is a recipient of the Linus Pauling Award for his innovative approaches to neurological disorders, Clinician of the Year Award from the National Nutritional Foods Association, and Humanitarian of the Year award from the American College of Nutrition.Dr. Perlmutter has been interviewed on 20/20, Larry King Live, CNN, Fox News, The Today Show, Oprah, and CBS.

Dr. Dale Bredesen was the Buck Institute’s founding President and CEO and is an internationally recognized expert on Alzheimer’s disease. Dr. Bredesen’s ground-breaking discoveries have led to a recent clinical trial as well as evidence for memory loss reversal associated with Alzheimer’s disease using lifestyle modifications. He earned his M.D. from Duke University Medical Center and served as Chief Resident in Neurology at UCSF before joining Nobel laureate Stanley Prusiner’s lab at UCSF as an NIH Postdoctoral Fellow. He has held faculty positions at UCSF, UCLA and UC San Diego.

Dr. Bredesen says Dr. Perlmutter’s new book, Brain Maker: The Power of Gut Microbes to Heal and Protect Your Brain—for Life, explains how nurturing gut health can enhance brain function. "Thanks in large part to a dramatic new understanding of the brain-gut-microbiome connection, there’s new hope for the treatment of autism to Alzheimer's to multiple sclerosis. David Perlmutter is a leader in this burgeoning field. His book is a landmark contribution."
