Summary
Do brain cells regenerate? Yes!
It’s the rate your brain cells regenerate that determines how your cognitive function works as you age. Today, we’re going to talk about how to increase the regeneration of your brain cells.
You can do many different things to support cognitive function and increase the size of your brain. You don’t need to do all of these things, but pick what you find is the most realistic for you and let me know what you choose in the comments.
The best ways to improve brain health:
1. Exercise
2. Do intermittent fasting and periodic prolonged fasting
3. Do cold therapy
4. Consume cod liver oil
5. Get on a low-carb diet (Healthy Keto®)
6. Do heat therapy
7. Consume vitamin B1
8. Consume probiotics
9. Get plenty of sunlight (infrared light and vitamin D)
10. Consume plant-based phytonutrients
11. Consume foods high in choline
12. Consume grass-fed animal products

| 0:00.0 | you know, it's been thought of that our brains do not regenerate. Our brain cells are not renewed, |
| 0:06.8 | okay? This is completely false information because the brain cell can regenerate. In fact, |
| 0:12.9 | it's the rate at which your brain cells regenerate that determines how your cognitive |
| 0:17.8 | functions going to work or not work as you get older. So today we're going to |
| 0:22.4 | talk about how to actually increase this regeneration of your nerve cells by a factor of 5x. |
| 0:31.6 | Okay. Now, yes, this research was done in animals and there's also a lot of research done in humans as |
| 0:37.1 | well. So as I go through the list, I want to cover a lot of research done in humans as well. |
| 0:41.1 | So as I go through the list, I want to cover a lot of different things that you can do to increase the size of your brain. And you don't have to do all of them. You just need to pick |
| 0:47.0 | as many as you can do. And if you wouldn't mind, go ahead and add those to the comments of those |
| 0:52.3 | things that you feel that you can add to your current |
| 0:55.7 | lifestyle to increase the size of your brain or at least the regeneration of your neurons |
| 1:02.4 | because this list could be a little bit overwhelming to some people you know you can't do |
| 1:06.7 | everything but you just do what you can something is is better than nothing. And the general term for a |
| 1:12.3 | nerve regenerating is called neurogenesis. A lot of this research is done on a part of the brain called |
| 1:17.6 | the hippocampus. The hippocampus, well, they don't know exactly, but it's involved in the relay of |
| 1:23.5 | information that's connected to memory, learning, spatial navigation. Remember layouts of certain |
| 1:31.0 | things, problem solving, which you kind of need your memory for problem solving. Reasoning and |
| 1:36.4 | something else called object in place memory. That's like remembering certain objects in certain |
| 1:42.9 | environments. Like where did I put my keys etc now |
| 1:46.6 | realize this just because you don't remember where you put your keys does not mean you have a |
| 1:50.9 | problem with your brain it could be that you just ate poorly the day before it could be that your |
| 1:56.2 | blood sugars are not quite correct if your spouse a family member family member, or your parent or whatever, starts having |
