Let’s be real for a sec….Brain fog and cognitive function are no joke!  Do you find yourself walking into a room and forgetting why you were there? Find yourself needing to write things down or you’ll forget them later? Me too…. Except for when I’m intentional about my brain health.

As with anything, there are 3 simple steps to solving this problem:

1. Stop poisoning yourself.
2. Flood the body with nutrients.
3. Manage Stress.

What does that look like in the context of brain health?

 Step 1 is reducing your exposure to toxins. I can help you layout a step-by-step plan that works within your budget. But the best place to start is replacing ALL your cleaners with Thieves® Household cleaner. It is inexpensive, versatile, and it WORKS!

Next remove all air fresheners and air freshener products. Utilize a diffuser with authentic essential oils to keep your home smelling fresh. They actually improve air quality instead of lower it like those sprays, plug-ins and wax warmers do. The best deal YL has to offer is this starter bundle. It’s about a $400 value for just  $165. It’ll get you well on your way to customizing luxurious scents for every room and occasion. You’ll also get a free recipe guide from me to help you find your favorite scents.

Step 2 is more than just eating healthy. Even the healthiest diets need good quality supplementation because our soils are over-farmed and our foods are over processed. This means our foods are not as nutritional as they used to be. The proof is in the apple. I remember as a kid I had to eat an apple fast before it turned brown. Now I’ve had apples sit sliced in the fridge for days without browning. This is due to lack of enzymes thanks to their farming and shipping journey. Enzymes are the key to life. 

I have a whole line-up of supplements I take daily, but here are my suggestions focused specifically on cognitive function:

Ningxia Red™ is a nutrient-dense superfood drink that will supply your body with the nutritional tools it needs to function optimally. Cells need nutrition to repair themselves right?

OmegaGizeᶾ™ is a top quality fish oil supplement. Fish oil is the same oil that makes up our cerebrospinal fluid in the brain and back....the central nervous system. Cerebrospinal fluid is not made in the body, it has to be consumed and replenished. Are you eating fish every day? Of course not! Omegagizeᶾ™ also contains CoQ10. CoQ10 produces ATP in the cell. ATP is the energy your cells consume to function. Supplementing a high quality CoQ10 is like supercharging your cell's battery for optimal functioning. OmegaGizeᶾ™ also has Vitamin D3. Vitamin D3 is actually a hormone that is synthesized in the body from sunlight. It controls over 2000 functions in the body, much of which involves your immune system, along with gut health and mood balance. And finally, OmegaGizeᶾ™ contains peppermint essential oil which stabilizes the fish oil from stagnation (cheap fish oils are very unstable and will actually contribute to neurodegenerative disorders). A bonus you get with the peppermint is digestive support and nerve regeneration. All beneficial things when we’re talking brain health.

MindWise™  has all the benefits of OmegaGizeᶾ™ and more with added benefits of turmeric and sacha inchi nut. You can read more on this one here.

NITRO™ is full of B vitamins that support a happy mood as well as cognitive fitness. Instead of grabbing sugary energy sources that increase inflammation in the body, reach for a tube of NITRO™ when you need a midday pick-me-up.

Step 3 Reducing physical stress to your body will naturally happen as you incorporate steps one and two into your lifestyle, but it is also necessary to decrease mental and emotional stress to support the body as a whole. Essential oils are best known for their stress relief abilities. Our sense of smell is hard-wired to our emotional centers in the brain. This is why aromatherapies are widely effective in calming mental and emotional stressors. Stress Away is by far favorite blend to melt the mental and emotional stress of the day away. 

Essential Oils have the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier due to their small molecular nature. Sesquiterpines are a constituent in essential oils that oxygenate the cell. Oxygen is healing. Brain Power™ is a blend of essential oils that are high in sesquiterpines. Other oils high in sesquiterpines include Frankincense, Sacred Frankincense, Clarity™, and Cedarwood.

I have made it simple for you to get your hands on these things! Just click here, select the items you want, and be on your way.

 I will be in touch shortly after to offer my services for any further questions you may have with use and application; offering you personal guidance as you need (or opt out of) along your journey.

Thanks for your interest! I hope this was helpful.
