Welcome to Quick Brain, bite-sized brain hacks for busy people who want to learn faster and achieve more. I'm your coach Jim Quick.

Free your knowledge. Let's imagine if we could access 100% of our brain's capacity.

I wasn't high and wasn't wired, just clear. I knew what I needed to do and how to do it.

I know Kung Fu.

Show me.

Welcome back, Quick Brain. Today's topic. We're going to talk about functional medicine for a better brain and I can't imagine a more qualified individual to join us in this conversation than the person that we have today.

Dr. Mark Heiman, head of strategy and innovation at the Cleveland Clinic Center for Functional Medicine. He's written like a gazillion New York Times bestselling books. He wrote the forward for Limitless.

We spent on our show multiple, multiple times as I've been on his podcast as well. And honestly, if I was going to read his CV and his bio, he would take up the entire 20 minutes of this conversation. Welcome back to the show, Mark.

Thank you, Jim. So I'm going to see you. I miss you.

I can't tell you it is. I feel a little guilty, but not too much. It's it's probably is almost not interesting here. It's gorgeous every day and the whole country shut down.

It's the most farm that you know, this is just the blessing for me to be here now.

Yeah, so it's one of my phone and my pair of places for sure.

You and I have had multiple conversations on this topic of functionalness and I wanted to specifically talk to you about it in bringing on the show because I want to show our listeners those watching on YouTube those listening on Spotify and iTunes, the power of functional medicine.

And exactly what it is we can talk about maybe the seven systems and how food impacts each of these systems, you know, especially we know what you matters, especially for your brain matter.

But here's all how your brain acts for listening. So, I love that. I'm going to use that. What do you need matters for your brain matter? That's a good one. I might steal it.

So functional medicine, you and I were talking about how there are seven different systems. And we could say have that as a more maybe we define what functional medicine is for.

Yeah, so, so, you know, traditional medicine and treatment is the brain just sort of sees the body as a bunch of different separate pieces of brain, your heart, lungs, your kidneys, your liver, your stomach, you know, you've got all these different organ systems and unfortunately.

That's not how the body organized. It's an ecosystem. Everything is connected and your brain is not just this disembodied lump on the top of your shoulders that is nothing to do with what's happening south of the neck. It's actually.
