Optimal Brain Performance, Part 1
October 30, 2018
Optimal brain performance is an issue that affects all age groups: For seniors, the prospect of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disease is real and immediate; for younger individuals in ever more competitive work and academic environments, optimal mental efficiency is imperative. “Neuro-nutrition” with nootropic agents is thus a hot topic. Leah Linder, ND, Medical Educator for Klaire Labs, joins us to discuss lifestyle and nutritional strategies for brain support. Adequate sleep, exercise, stress reduction, and healthy diet demonstrably forestall neuronal damage. Specific nutrients—like those found in NEUROTHERA™️and MITOTHERA™️—protect the brain and enhance neurotransmission via a variety of mechanisms. Click HERE for part 2.
