- 0:50Speaker 2: Hey everyone, and welcome to this deep dive. It's all
- 0:53Speaker 2: about brain power today, you know, fueling your brain power
- 0:57Speaker 2: with the right foods. Right, We've got some really interesting
- 1:01Speaker 2: research to dig into.
- 1:03Speaker 3: Yeah, We've got three different sources we're going to be
- 1:05Speaker 3: looking at today, and it's going to be a really
- 1:06Speaker 3: cool mix of practical tips and like the actual science
- 1:10Speaker 3: behind why food affects our brain.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Okay, awesome. So before we get into the specifics of
- 1:18Speaker 2: like what to eat and what not to eat. Yeah,
- 1:20Speaker 2: I'm really curious about this idea that there aren't any
- 1:23Speaker 2: like superfoods when it comes to brain power, right. You know,
- 1:27Speaker 2: it seems like every week there's a new ingredient. Oh yeah,
- 1:29Speaker 2: it's like the miracle brain booster.
- 1:31Speaker 3: There's the new turmeric or whatever.
- 1:33Speaker 2: Exactly is there really no magic bullet?
- 1:36Speaker 3: Well, that's what's so interesting is that all three of
- 1:38Speaker 3: the sources that we're looking at, they all emphasize the
- 1:40Speaker 3: power of like a balanced diet okay, over any single food.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Right.
- 1:46Speaker 3: So the Health Partner's piece, for example, it makes a
- 1:48Speaker 3: really strong connection between heart health and brain health.
- 1:51Speaker 2: That makes sense, you know, Yeah, what's good for the
- 1:53Speaker 2: heart is good for the brain.
- 1:55Speaker 3: Exactly. It's all connected.
- 1:56Speaker 2: So we're not even just talking about like sharper thinking here,
- 1:59Speaker 2: We're talking about like overall well being.
- 2:02Speaker 3: Absolutely. Yeah.
- 2:03Speaker 2: I love that.
- 2:03Speaker 3: It's a holistic thing.
- 2:04Speaker 2: Yeah, that holistic approach. Okay, So let's talk about some
- 2:08Speaker 2: of the things that might be hindering our brain power. Okay,
- 2:11Speaker 2: two of the sources that we're looking at today they
- 2:14Speaker 2: call out added sugar as a major culprit when it
- 2:18Speaker 2: comes to things like brain fog, yes and focus issues.
- 2:22Speaker 2: And I'll be honest, I have a little bit of
- 2:24Speaker 2: a sweet tooth. Oh yeah, me too, but I'm ready
- 2:27Speaker 2: to hear the hard truths.
- 2:28Speaker 3: Okay. Well, the truth is that sugar can be pretty sneaky. Okay,
- 2:33Speaker 3: doctor and I do the Harvard nutritionists she really like
- 2:35Speaker 3: breaks down the science of it. Okay, it's not just
- 2:38Speaker 3: about avoiding the obvious sugar retreats. Ok It's also about
- 2:41Speaker 3: being aware of all the hidden sugars that are in
- 2:44Speaker 3: so many processed foods.
- 2:46Speaker 2: So it's more than just like that mid afternoon energy.
- 2:48Speaker 3: Slump, way more. It's really about what's happening in your
- 2:52Speaker 3: brain on a chemical level. Okay, Like your brain needs
- 2:56Speaker 3: glucose for energy, but when you overload it with fine sugar,
- 3:01Speaker 3: it creates these like dramatic spikes and crashes in your
- 3:04Speaker 3: blood sugar levels. Ah, and those fluctuations they actually mess
- 3:07Speaker 3: with the balance of neurotransmitters in your brain wow, which
- 3:11Speaker 3: affects like everything from your mood to your focus to
- 3:14Speaker 3: your memory.
- 3:15Speaker 2: So it's not just about like willpower then, right, it's
- 3:18Speaker 2: about understanding like the chemical reactions that are happening when
- 3:21Speaker 2: I reach for that kookie.
- 3:22Speaker 3: Absolutely, and the textic Colado source actually digs even deeper
- 3:27Speaker 3: into that whole psychological aspect of it, okay, and explores
- 3:31Speaker 3: how our brains are wired for instant gratification, especially in
- 3:35Speaker 3: our cultural convenience.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:37Speaker 3: You know, like we're just surrounded by messages they tell
- 3:39Speaker 3: us to prioritize, like speed and ease over nourishments.
- 3:44Speaker 2: Like we're in this convenience strap where we sacrifice long
- 3:48Speaker 2: term clarity.
- 3:49Speaker 3: For that quick fix, that quick hit.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Okay, Speaking of things that might be hindering our brain power,
- 3:55Speaker 2: I'm also seeing that all three sources mention fried foods
- 3:58Speaker 2: as something to be mindful of.
- 4:00Speaker 3: For sure, and this one's stuff. Yeah, I love French fries.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Need too, But tell me, I know, why are they.
- 4:07Speaker 3: So bad for our brains? What's the science behind that?
- 4:11Speaker 2: Well, it's not like we need to demonize French fries
- 4:14Speaker 2: or anything. It's more about understanding how those kinds of
- 4:16Speaker 2: choices affect our bodies. Yeah, fried food they often have
- 4:20Speaker 2: a lot of trans fats in them, right, which trigger inflammation. Ah,
- 4:24Speaker 2: that inflammation, it's not just bad for your arteries, right,
- 4:28Speaker 2: It affects your brain too.
- 4:30Speaker 3: So it's not just about clogged arteries anymore. It's about inflammation, yes,
- 4:34Speaker 3: impacting our brain function exactly.
- 4:36Speaker 2: And remember those blood vessels we were talking about earlier, Yeah,
- 4:39Speaker 2: the ones that are delivering oxygen and nutrients to your brain.
- 4:42Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 4:42Speaker 2: Well, if you have chronic inflammation, it can actually damage
- 4:46Speaker 2: those vessels. Wow, and that makes it harder for your
- 4:50Speaker 2: brain to get what it needs to function properly.
- 4:53Speaker 3: Okay, I'm starting to see a pattern here.
- 4:55Speaker 2: Sugar, fried foods. It all seems to come back to inflammation.
- 4:59Speaker 3: It really does. Yeah, and it's not just those two culprits.
- 5:02Speaker 3: Refined carbs can also be a problem.
- 5:04Speaker 2: Oh yeah, like white bread, Yeah.
- 5:06Speaker 3: White bread, pasta, things like that. They contribute to inflammation too,
- 5:10Speaker 3: and they miss with your blood sugar.
- 5:12Speaker 2: Okay.
- 5:12Speaker 3: Dr Nido even mentions that a diet that's really high
- 5:15Speaker 3: in refined carbs, it can actually increase your risk of
- 5:19Speaker 3: developing depression.
- 5:20Speaker 2: Wow. I had no idea there was such a strong
- 5:22Speaker 2: connection between diet and mental health.
- 5:25Speaker 3: It was a huge connection. Wow, it's really powerful.
- 5:28Speaker 2: I guess we really are what we eat.
- 5:30Speaker 3: We really are your brain is built from what you
- 5:32Speaker 3: put into your body.
- 5:34Speaker 2: So we've talked about sugar, fried foods, refined carbs. It
- 5:39Speaker 2: seems like alcohol might be another thing that we want
- 5:41Speaker 2: to be mindful of. It can be Doctor Nid talks
- 5:44Speaker 2: about patients coming to her who use alcohol to unwine
- 5:48Speaker 2: after a long day, and I think a lot of
- 5:50Speaker 2: people can relate to that. Yeah, so is that nightly
- 5:53Speaker 2: glass of wine really doing that much damage?
- 5:55Speaker 3: Well, again, it all goes back to moderation and understanding
- 5:59Speaker 3: what even mod drinking can do.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Okay.
- 6:01Speaker 3: Alcohol disrupts your neurotransmitters, Okay, and as we've already talked about,
- 6:06Speaker 3: that can lead to problems with memory and focus, and
- 6:10Speaker 3: over time, if someone drinks a lot, it can actually
- 6:12Speaker 3: cause the brain to shrink.
- 6:14Speaker 2: Okay, So maybe that nightly glass of wine isn't such
- 6:16Speaker 2: a good idea after all.
- 6:18Speaker 3: Well, but then, on the other hand, Yeah, the study
- 6:20Speaker 3: that doctor and I do mentions in her article, Yeah,
- 6:23Speaker 3: it also said that people who stained completely from alcohol,
- 6:27Speaker 3: they actually had a higher risk of dementia compared to
- 6:32Speaker 3: people who drink moderately.
- 6:33Speaker 2: So it seems like finding that sweet spot is key.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Like with most things in.
- 6:37Speaker 3: Life, I think so I think balance is key. Balance Okay, yeah,
- 6:41Speaker 3: making informed choices, yeah, you know, not about deprivation, but
- 6:46Speaker 3: just being aware of how our choices affect us.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm ready to hear about the good stuff. Now,
- 6:52Speaker 2: what can we eat to boost our brain power?
- 6:55Speaker 3: Okay, let's get to the good stuff. Yeah, the health
- 6:58Speaker 3: partner's source actually has this awesome list of brain boosting foods.
- 7:02Speaker 2: I'm ready.
- 7:03Speaker 3: But before we jump into specifics, I think it's helpful
- 7:07Speaker 3: to understand the key nutrients that your brain really needs.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Okay, so what are we looking for?
- 7:12Speaker 3: Okay, think of it this way. Your brain thrives on antioxidants,
- 7:17Speaker 3: anti inflammatories, omega three, fatty acids, and a good supply
- 7:22Speaker 3: of B vitamins and amino acids. All of those nutrients
- 7:26Speaker 3: they help protect your brain cells, They support healthy blood flow,
- 7:31Speaker 3: and they make sure that the communication between your neurons
- 7:34Speaker 3: is working properly.
- 7:35Speaker 2: Okay.
- 7:36Speaker 3: So it's not just about calories, it's about giving your
- 7:38Speaker 3: brain the specific building blocks that it needs.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Okay, I'm right for that grocery list. Now, ye, what
- 7:43Speaker 2: are some of the top contenders for brain boosting foods?
- 7:47Speaker 3: Okay, Well, leafy green vegetables, they're always a great place
- 7:50Speaker 3: to start. They're full of antioxidants and all sorts of
- 7:53Speaker 3: other nutrients that are good for your brain.
- 7:55Speaker 2: I've always heard that berries are good for you, and
- 7:57Speaker 2: now I know they're good for my memory too.
- 7:59Speaker 3: They are. They're like these little powerhouses full of antioxidants
- 8:04Speaker 3: and anti inflammatory some which are so important for protecting
- 8:07Speaker 3: your brain cells from damage.
- 8:09Speaker 2: Greens, berries, What else?
- 8:10Speaker 3: Fish rich and omega threes, beans, ah, olive oil, avocados,
- 8:18Speaker 3: whole grains, nuts, Wow, even coffee and tea in moderation.
- 8:23Speaker 2: Okay, I love this list. It sounds delicious and satisfying.
- 8:27Speaker 2: It is I can nourish my brain and enjoy it exactly.
- 8:30Speaker 3: Eating for a healthier brain. It doesn't have to be
- 8:33Speaker 3: like restrictive or boring. It's about enjoying a variety of
- 8:37Speaker 3: foods that make you feel good.
- 8:39Speaker 2: Okay, so we've got our brain boosting shopping list. Yes,
- 8:43Speaker 2: we understand the dangers of the convenience truck, and we're
- 8:47Speaker 2: starting to see how sugar and inflammation aren't doing our
- 8:50Speaker 2: brains any favors. Is there anything else we need to
- 8:52Speaker 2: be aware of?
- 8:53Speaker 3: There's one more interesting point that doctor n I do
- 8:55Speaker 3: makes that I think you'll find surprising. It's about nitrates. Nitrates, Yeah,
- 9:00Speaker 3: you know those compounds that are found in a lot
- 9:02Speaker 3: of process meets.
- 9:03Speaker 2: Okay, I thought those were mainly a concern for like
- 9:06Speaker 2: heart health, That's.
- 9:07Speaker 3: What I thought too. Yeah, but there's some new research
- 9:10Speaker 3: suggesting that nitrates might also affect our mental well being.
- 9:13Speaker 2: Really yeah, okay, I'm intrigued. Tell me more.
- 9:16Speaker 3: It seems that nitrates can change our gut bacteria okay,
- 9:21Speaker 3: and those changes have been linked to a whole bunch
- 9:24Speaker 3: of different mental health issues. Yeah, there's even a possible
- 9:27Speaker 3: connection to bipolar disorder.
- 9:29Speaker 2: Wait, so it's not just about the nitrates themselves, it's
- 9:32Speaker 2: about how they're affecting the bacteria in our gut exactly. Okay.
- 9:35Speaker 3: It all comes back to this fascinating field of research
- 9:39Speaker 3: that's exploring the gut brain axis, right, you know that
- 9:42Speaker 3: connection between our digestive system and our central nervous system.
- 9:46Speaker 2: So what we eat isn't just affecting our physical health.
- 9:49Speaker 2: It's impacting our mental and emotional well being too through
- 9:53Speaker 2: this like complex relationship with our gut bacteria.
- 9:57Speaker 3: It's mind boggling, is it is.
- 9:58Speaker 2: I'm starting to see how how interconnected everything really is.
- 10:02Speaker 3: It's all connected, which is why it's so important to
- 10:05Speaker 3: take a holistic approach to nutrition. We're not just feeding ourselves,
- 10:09Speaker 3: feeding this whole ecosystem that lives inside of us.
- 10:12Speaker 2: Okay, So if I'm enjoying a turkey sandwich every now
- 10:15Speaker 2: and then, yeah, should I be worried about these nitrates?
- 10:18Speaker 3: Well, doctor Nido actually has a really practical tip for
- 10:20Speaker 3: people who enjoy those processed meats.
- 10:22Speaker 2: Okay.
- 10:23Speaker 3: She says to look for options that contain buckwheat flour Okay,
- 10:28Speaker 3: because buckwheat's a good source of antioxidants, and those antioxidants
- 10:33Speaker 3: they might help counteract some of the negative effects of
- 10:36Speaker 3: the nitrates.
- 10:37Speaker 2: So simple swap that could potentially make a big difference, exactly. Okay,
- 10:42Speaker 2: So we've covered a lot of ground here, we have.
- 10:44Speaker 2: We talked about the dangers of the convenience trap. We
- 10:47Speaker 2: learned about the sneaky saboteur that is sugar, and we
- 10:51Speaker 2: heard about the surprising impact that nitrates can have on
- 10:54Speaker 2: our gut health.
- 10:55Speaker 3: It's amazing.
- 10:56Speaker 2: And of course we explored that delicious list of brain boosting.
- 10:59Speaker 3: Food foods I'm getting hungry.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Me too, that provide all those essential nutrients that our
- 11:05Speaker 2: brains need to thrive.
- 11:06Speaker 3: It's exciting stuff, it is.
- 11:08Speaker 2: I can't wait to dive in deeper.
- 11:10Speaker 3: Me too, Let's keep going. Yeah, there's so much more
- 11:13Speaker 3: to learn about this.
- 11:14Speaker 2: I know, this connection between food and our brains.
- 11:17Speaker 3: Yeah, it's fascinating. That's amazing, it really is. There really
- 11:19Speaker 3: is so much to uncover, you know. And speaking of
- 11:23Speaker 3: uncovering things, yeah, I wanted to circle back to something
- 11:26Speaker 3: we talked about a little bit earlier. Okay, that convenience
- 11:29Speaker 3: trap idea, you know, the Texto Colado source makes this
- 11:33Speaker 3: really fascinating connection between that trap and how our brains
- 11:38Speaker 3: are wired for instant.
- 11:40Speaker 2: Gratification, right, Like, our brains are always looking for that
- 11:42Speaker 2: dopamine hit.
- 11:43Speaker 3: Yes, that quick reward.
- 11:45Speaker 2: But how does that tie into our cognitive function.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Well, when we're constantly like bombarded with all these hyperpalatable foods,
- 11:53Speaker 3: you know, really processed stuff, our brains start to prioritize
- 11:57Speaker 3: those immediate rewards the long term benefits of eating a
- 12:01Speaker 3: really nourishing diet.
- 12:03Speaker 2: So basically we're sacrificing long term clarity for that quick
- 12:07Speaker 2: sugar rush or that you know, salty crunchy snack exactly.
- 12:10Speaker 3: And it's not just about willpower. It's like our brains
- 12:13Speaker 3: are being hijacked by these foods that are designed to
- 12:16Speaker 3: be super addictive.
- 12:18Speaker 2: So what can we do about that?
- 12:20Speaker 3: Well, that's where mindful eating comes in. It's about retraining
- 12:24Speaker 3: your brain to appreciate the subtle flavors of food, to
- 12:28Speaker 3: savor each bite, okay, and to really like tune in
- 12:32Speaker 3: to your body's natural hunger and fullness cues.
- 12:36Speaker 2: It's almost like hitting the reset button on our relationship
- 12:39Speaker 2: with food.
- 12:39Speaker 3: I love that. Yeah, it really is. It's about shifting
- 12:42Speaker 3: from that instant gratification to long term nourishment for.
- 12:47Speaker 2: Both our bodies and our minds.
- 12:48Speaker 3: Exactly.
- 12:48Speaker 2: Okay, so mindful eating, got it. What else can we
- 12:52Speaker 2: do to kind of support these healthy habits and really
- 12:55Speaker 2: optimize our brain power?
- 12:57Speaker 3: Well, the Texto Colado piece makes another really interesting point.
- 13:00Speaker 2: Okay.
- 13:00Speaker 3: It encourages us to think about the diets of high
- 13:03Speaker 3: performers in all kinds of different fields, like athletes, CEOs, artists, entrepreneurs. Yeah,
- 13:09Speaker 3: so many of them. They have these really strict nutrition
- 13:12Speaker 3: plants where they eliminate any foods that they think could
- 13:16Speaker 3: be detrimental to their cognitive function.
- 13:18Speaker 2: Interesting, so they're not just disciplined in their training or
- 13:21Speaker 2: their work. They're also incredibly disciplined about what they eat exactly,
- 13:26Speaker 2: which kind of begs the question, do these high performers
- 13:30Speaker 2: know something that we don't.
- 13:31Speaker 3: That's a great question about this.
- 13:33Speaker 2: Link between food and like peak mental performance.
- 13:37Speaker 3: Yeah, what's their secret? Yeah, spill of beans.
- 13:39Speaker 2: I don't think it's necessarily about a secret formula or
- 13:43Speaker 2: one magic bullet. I think it's about recognizing that food
- 13:47Speaker 2: is information.
- 13:50Speaker 3: M I like that.
- 13:51Speaker 2: You know, it's the raw material that our bodies and
- 13:54Speaker 2: our minds use, Okay, to build and repair and function
- 13:58Speaker 2: at their best.
- 13:59Speaker 3: I love that food is information. It's not just about calories.
- 14:03Speaker 3: It's about providing our brains with the specific nutrients that
- 14:07Speaker 3: they need to thrive exactly.
- 14:10Speaker 2: And when we start seeing food that way, it changes everything.
- 14:14Speaker 3: It empowers us to make choices that support our long
- 14:17Speaker 3: term cognitive health and help us unlock our full potential.
- 14:21Speaker 2: Awesome. Okay, so we've debunked the myth of superfoods. Yes,
- 14:25Speaker 2: we've explored the dangers of the convenience trap, and we've
- 14:29Speaker 2: learned some pretty cool things from the world of high performers.
- 14:34Speaker 2: What are some key takeaways that you want our listener
- 14:36Speaker 2: to walk away with today.
- 14:39Speaker 3: Well, I think the biggest takeaway is that our diets
- 14:41Speaker 3: have a massive impact on our cognitive health. It's not
- 14:45Speaker 3: just about avoiding bad foods. It's about actively choosing foods
- 14:51Speaker 3: that nourish and support our brains.
- 14:53Speaker 2: And it's not just about what we eat, no, it's
- 14:55Speaker 2: about how we eat.
- 14:56Speaker 3: Yes, mindful eating is so important.
- 14:59Speaker 2: Absolutely. I think that's a great point.
- 15:01Speaker 3: It can make a huge difference.
- 15:02Speaker 2: Okay, anything else.
- 15:03Speaker 3: Yeah, I would also say that consistency is key.
- 15:06Speaker 2: Okay.
- 15:06Speaker 3: It's not about being perfect all the time. It's about
- 15:09Speaker 3: making sustainable changes that you can stick with.
- 15:11Speaker 2: Small changes add up they really do over time, over time. Absolutely,
- 15:15Speaker 2: It's a journey, not a destination exactly. Okay, And before
- 15:19Speaker 2: we wrap up this deep dive, I want to leave
- 15:21Speaker 2: our listener with a thought provoking question.
- 15:24Speaker 3: Ooh, I love it.
- 15:25Speaker 2: Kind of inspired by this point about high performers.
- 15:28Speaker 3: Okay, lay it on me.
- 15:29Speaker 2: If high performers are so meticulous about their diets, Yeah,
- 15:33Speaker 2: you know, because they understand how much food plays a
- 15:36Speaker 2: role in their ability to perform at their best.
- 15:38Speaker 3: M hmm.
- 15:40Speaker 2: What can we learn from their approach?
- 15:42Speaker 3: That's a great question.
- 15:44Speaker 2: What insights might they have that we can apply to
- 15:47Speaker 2: our own lives to unlock our cognitive potential.
- 15:50Speaker 3: I love that it really challenges us to think about Yeah,
- 15:53Speaker 3: not just our individual choices, but the bigger picture of
- 15:56Speaker 3: food and how it impacts us exactly.
- 15:58Speaker 2: What if we're all capable of it a greater mental
- 16:02Speaker 2: clarity and focus, if we just pay more attention to
- 16:04Speaker 2: what we're eating.
- 16:05Speaker 3: That's powerful tet for thought. It really is. Literally Yes,
- 16:09Speaker 3: And with that, I think we should wrap up this
- 16:11Speaker 3: deep dive. OK, thank you so much for joining me.
- 16:13Speaker 2: The pleasure was all mine.
- 16:15Speaker 3: It's been so fun exploring this topic with you.
- 16:17Speaker 2: I know this has been really interesting and to you,
- 16:19Speaker 2: our listener, thank you for joining us on this deep
- 16:22Speaker 2: dive into the fascinating world of food and its impact
- 16:25Speaker 2: on our brains.
- 16:26Speaker 3: Yes, thank you for listening.
- 16:28Speaker 2: Remember, small changes can make a big difference.
- 16:31Speaker 3: It can.
- 16:32Speaker 2: So start incorporating some of those brain boosting foods into
- 16:35Speaker 2: your diet today and see how you feel.
- 16:37Speaker 3: It's amazing what a difference it could make.
- 16:39Speaker 2: And keep that question in mind, what can we learn
- 16:42Speaker 2: from the dietary choices of high performers. It might just
