Summary

In Episode #126, I have pulled together the very best of Team Sherzai from our previous episodes together to create a masterclass on improving the health of what is arguably our most important organ – our brain!   In this episode, you will hear the Drs Dean and Ayesha Sherzai talk about stress and focus; multitasking; nutrition tips for a healthy brain; the importance of fats for brain health; fish oil, vegetable oils, kids getting omega-3s, and supplementing; the links between nutrient deficiencies and brain problems; and reducing the risk of cognitive decline outside of nutrition. You’ll also hear about how to optimise brain capacity and some tips for sleeping better to improve brain health, along with so much more.
