Ensure healthy neurotransmitter function

Instructions

  1. Fuel your brain with ketones.
    Ketones aren’t just fuel—they also act as a signaling molecules, modifying messages in the brain that have beneficial effects. Intermittent fasting, a low-carbohydrate diet, exercise, and coconut oil or MCT oil contribute to ketone production.

  2. Add anti-inflammatory compounds to your diet.
    Try beneficial curcumin, a component of the spice turmeric.

  3. Restore GABA and glutamate balance.
    Exercise, meditation, deep breathing exercises, probiotics, cold exposure, and avoiding MSG in processed food are great for optimum excitation and relaxation balance.

  4. Protect acetylcholine neurotransmitters.
    Avoid toxic anticholinergic drugs and ensure adequate dietary choline intake. Choline is the major dietary precursor to acetylcholine. Foods high in choline are eggs, beef liver, shrimp, scallops, beef, chicken, fish, Brussel sprouts, broccoli, and spinach.

  5. Enhance serotonin production.
    Maintain adequate omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA intake. Exercise often, as it sends tryptophan straight to the brain. Walk and talk for enhanced memory.

  6. Keep dopamine neurotransmitters well.
    Break from the “tranquility of repetition.” For example, begin a novel exercise routine, learn to play a new instrument, get out of your social comfort zone, etc.

  7. Increase norepinephrine in the brain.
    Reduce excessive stimulation. Avoid bright lights, loud noises, too much information, and flickering devices, and engage in short, frequent physical activity whenever long periods of focus are required.

  8. Avoid pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides.
    Exposure to pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides is linked to neurodegenerative disease risks. One potential factor is the consumption of toxic pesticide residues, which are found in the industrial processed food supply.
