“My Cognitive Enhancement Blueprint offers a variety of other lifestyle interventions and protocols that have strong potential to improve cognitive performance and slow brain aging.”

“This ~1-hour long podcast covers effects on mood, vigilance, inflammation & the immune system, metabolism, athletic performance, recovery, and more.”

“The investigators reported that increased age and decreased physical activity were associated with poorer memory performance. MRI findings showed decreased volume in the hippocampus, the region of the brain associated with memory, in those with worse memory scores.”

“Unlike ordinary autophagy, which generally recycles various cell parts, CASA specifically targets and breaks down damaged or misfolded proteins with the help of unique proteins called chaperones. BAG3 is one of these chaperones.”

“Some of the mechanisms that drive the beneficial effects of exercise on the brain include increases in brain volume and connectivity, improved blood flow, enhanced synaptic plasticity, and increased neurogenesis – the formation of new neurons.”

“"Since a difference of 0.5 standard deviations is equivalent to 20 years of age-related difference in performance on these tests, the people who exercised were testing as if they were about 10 years younger at age 40 and about 20 years younger at age 60," Stern said.”

“Another recent review of randomized controlled trials found that people generally had enhancements in working memory performance and improved visual information processing after eating cocoa flavanols.”

“Exercise (30 minutes of cycling) before learning benefited immediate recall. But when people had to wait to recall the words, they performed best when they exercised after learning.”

“FTA: > People using anabolic steroids to improve muscle growth and sporting performance are far more likely to experience issues with their memory, according to new research.”

“Other studies have demonstrated the effects of sleep deprivation on academic performance. Watch this clip in which sleep expert Dr. Matthew Walker describes the role that sleep plays in learning and new memory formation. Link to full study.”
