Embrace a brain healthy diet for 3 months: see how good you can feel!

When we nurture our brain we feel so much better. Give yourself 3 months of putting your brain in a healing environment and feel what it's like to have your brain working at its best.

A brain healthy diet can greatly improve your life, not just your physical health.
Your brain is involved in everything you do:

• how you think, feel, act and interact
• your judgement, personality, intelligence
• every decision you make

When your brain works better, your life gets better!

A brain healthy diet focuses on what is healthy for you and your brain while  removing anything that is toxic to it.  It really is that simple and the great news is what is good for your brain is good for your whole body.

In general, follow this rule of thumb:

• eat healthy proteins throughout the day
• give yourself 12 hours per night of no food for your brain to clear out toxins (longer is fine if you are intermittent fasting)

Things that are good for your brain:

• healthy fats & nuts
•  clean protein-
  • wild caught fish
  • organic, grass fed meats, chicken, turkey
• green, leafy vegetables- preferably organic
• low glycemic foods
• high fiber foods

Things that are bad for your brain:

• sugar
• hydrogenated oils, trans fats
• fried foods
• high glycemic foods
• alcohol, beer, wine
• processed foods
• commercially baked goods
• GMO's 
• artificial sweeteners & colorings
• drugs, cigarettes, marijuana
• fruit juice

I eliminate these foods when I am on a brain healthy diet:
(certainly consider eliminating them if you are concerned about allergies)

• gluten
• corn
• soy

Reduce or limit use of:

• caffeine- limit to 2 Cups per day, caffeine can interfere with weight loss,    eliminating caffeine might make the rest of the diet easier
• honey- very limited use
