“In this Aliquot, I explain exactly what homocysteine is, how it impacts both cardiovascular and brain health, and how simple nutritional strategies—like supplementing with vitamins B6, B12, and methylfolate—can help bring levels down, supporting healthy aging and sharper cognitive function.”

“Ketones can serve as an alternative brain fuel, but current evidence does not establish that ordinary intermittent fasting clears brain fog in healthy adults. Human studies also cannot define a universal hour when autophagy switches on.”

“Serotonin, in particular, plays a crucial role during early brain development by helping neurons grow and connect properly. When BPA disrupts this system, it alters the formation of key brain regions like the cerebellum, which is vital for coordination and cognitive processing.”

A sudden interruption in the blood supply of the brain.

Carotenoids are bioactive plant compounds with eye and brain benefits.

“Exercise can complement psychotherapy, medication, social support, and other forms of clinical care. Dr. Patrick also describes brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, as one pathway that may connect exercise with brain health.”

“Traumatic brain injury (TBI) results from damage caused by a sudden blow, penetrating injury, or lack of oxygen. A TBI may increase the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease and other brain disorders, especially in people carrying the APOE4 gene. In this clip, Dr. Peter Attia stresses the further risks of head trauma for those with the APOE4 gene variant.”

“Engaging the brain by learning new motor skills as part of exercises such as yoga, tai chi, and non-contact boxing can provide the cognitive load needed to achieve the desired benefits.”

“Blood-brain barrier - Another membranous barrier in the body that loses its integrity with age. Increased microbial toxins in the blood because of increased intestinal permeability is a source of stress for the blood-brain barrier, injuring neurons and promoting disease.”

“RBM3 increases protein synthesis at the ends of dendrites – where synapses form – and protects the brain from cognitive and behavioral deficits associated with some neurodegenerative diseases.”
