Summary
Good brain health is more than just being able to memorize all the trivia questions and being a fast learner. It is also to ensure Dementia and Alzheimer’s prevention. Especially today, as thousands of patients are diagnosed and die from it every year. People suffering from these illnesses often end up house-bound and as a burden to the people closest to them as they are dependent on others to receive care. And the stress of seeing your loved ones wither away is most painful. So, what is actually the main cause of poor brain health? And more importantly, what can you do to heal your brain?
This week, I speak with Julia Lundstrom, the founder of Simple Smart Science. Julia had had the devastating experience of seeing her own aunt fall ill and pass away due to Alzheimer’s. Her aunt falling ill, was the main trigger for Julia and her brother to found Simple Smart Science. We will cover topics such as; the best supplements for brain health, brain food, and the top 3 keys to Alzheimer’s prevention and optimal brain health.

In this podcast we’ll cover
- The 3 main keys to optimal brain health
- Do toxins actually play a role in neurodegenerative diseases?
- The best supplements for brain health (why many get too little of it)
- Why working night shifts can be linked with poor brain health
- Why social connection is essential to good brain health and overall well being
- How technology is making us dumber (and how to improve your memory)
- The power of laughter
- The ultimate brain food for optimal brain health
- Julia’s take on why we sleep too little (and how it wrecks havoc on your brain)
- DHA – the top nutrient for brain health
- Why sleep is essential and often underrated (and why you should make sure to get your sleep every night)
- Why popping a pill isn’t the answer to fixing your health

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, this is Ari. Welcome back to the Energy Blueprint Podcast. Before we get into today's show, |
| 0:05.1 | I have an incredibly important announcement. This is something that I really haven't been more |
| 0:10.0 | excited to announce than all the way back in 2014 when I first started the Energy Blueprint. |
| 0:15.6 | After well over a year of development and testing, we are finally ready to officially launch our breakthrough |
| 0:23.7 | mitochondrial supplement to the world. This is a genuine game changer in the area of human |
| 0:29.5 | energy enhancement. And it's called Energenesis. This is actually the first no stimulant, no caffeine, |
| 0:36.2 | and no sugar energy formula that actually builds up |
| 0:40.4 | your own body's capacity to produce energy. Instead of working like caffeine and stimulants by giving |
| 0:46.4 | you a temporary boost of energy for a few hours, but ultimately making your energy levels |
| 0:50.9 | worse over time, energenesis actually builds up your own body's ability, |
| 0:56.0 | your cellular capacity to produce energy. Energenesis is for people looking for real answers |
| 1:02.1 | who want to address root causes, who want to build real energy. So hopefully you've been following |
| 1:07.8 | my work for a while now. And if so, you know that the real root of |
| 1:11.1 | most energy issues almost always comes back to the mitochondria. That's why mitochondria is such a central |
| 1:17.0 | fixture of so, so many of the podcasts that I've done on this show and so much of my own work as well |
| 1:24.3 | as far as the videos and the articles that I've put out into the world. Now, there's two really important layers to this story. I'm really simplifying a vast amount |
| 1:32.2 | of science here into something that's a fairly simple model, but trying to be succinct. The two |
| 1:37.1 | important layers of this, for most people, from the age of 20 to 40, their mitochondrial capacity, |
| 1:43.6 | the ability of their cells to produce energy, |
| 1:45.6 | decreases by about half. And then from 40 to 70, it decreases by another half. So, in other |
| 1:51.8 | words, from the ages of 20 to 70, the research shows that most people lose about 75% of their |
| 1:59.1 | mitochondrial capacity. So just that in and of itself is a massive problem. But there's |
