“The MRIs revealed that participants experienced increased connectivity between the default mode network and regions of the brain involved in memory. The default mode network is a collection of interconnected neural structures involved in attention and focus.”

Dr. Rhonda Patrick discusses her supplement stack, avoiding microplastics, creatine for brain health, and mRNA vaccine autoimmunity risks.

“Current guidelines recommend that women limit caffeine during pregnancy to 200 milligrams (roughly the amount in a 12-ounce serving) per day. Findings from a new study suggest that caffeine consumption during pregnancy alters neurodevelopment in the fetal brain.”

“The brain's inner workings have traditionally been viewed as separate from “unconscious” physiological functions like immunity. Yet, recent research has uncovered a surprising degree of reciprocal brain-immune system interaction.”

“Findings from a 2017 study suggest that surgery in combination with the anesthetic drug isoflurane induces blood-brain barrier dysfunction, contributing to cognitive impairment. Anesthetic drugs can be administered orally, intravenously, or via inhalation.”

“Researchers fed mice that are predisposed to developing abnormal tau deposits in their brains an olive oil-enriched diet or their regular chow from young adulthood to older adulthood.”

“FTA: > "People with more 'positive' variables, such as more education, better physical endurance and above-average performance on memory tests, shared the same patterns. Their brains seemed to be more strongly connected than those of people with 'negative' traits such as smoking, aggressive behaviour or a family history of alcohol abuse."”

“Individuals who drank green tea, oolong tea, or black tea 4x/week for 25 yrs had more efficient brain connections in certain brain regions compared to non-tea drinkers. The same research group previously found that tea consumption was linked to a 50% reduction in cognitive decline.”

“Even so, the study suggests that cardiorespiratory fitness may shape the BDNF response to intense exercise and how it relates to short-term brain function. My BDNF protocol includes additional lifestyle strategies that may improve cognitive performance and support brain health with aging.”

“A 2013 study demonstrated that sulforaphane protects the brain during ischemic stroke via hormetic preconditioning. Ischemic stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is reduced or interrupted, starving neurons of oxygen and nutrients.”
