Dr Brant Cortright, author of The Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle, shares how you can use different lifestyle factors to increase your brain's rate of Neurogenesis, the ability of your brain to produce new brain cells! It's important to note that many new brain stem cells once they are formed NEVER actually make it to mature brain cells. The brain actually prunes them and it's actually a very important and healthy process, but Dr Brant explains that there are easy methods to increase the rate in which your brain is making new cells and also explains how you can preserve them. In this episode we discuss: - Which foods to eat and which to avoid at all costs! - What is the best type of exercise to stimulate neurogenesis - What are different mindset and devotional practices (meditation, gratitude, theistic practices) to increase neurogenesis - Why travel can actually boost your brain power - How neurogenesis can make you handle emotions better - How to make your brain better with time rather than age with time!

Dr Dan Pompa is the founder of True Cellular Detox and Revelation Health. After going through a dramatic and intense recovery from mercury toxicity, he has since developed a protocol for detoxification that does more than just rid your body of toxins, it truly detoxifies the brain. Dr Dan explains some of the big problems surrounding many detoxes today, as well as what are the big toxins that we are chronically exposed to on a daily basis. These toxins accumulate in the body as well as the brain, terrorizing on our brain health and performance. Dr Pompa explains a critical physiological process that makes many detoxifications and cleanses virtually useless. This process actually reabsorbs toxins and heavy metals back into your blood after you just got them out! He'll discuss an important piece that could be a big difference: True Binders. We also discuss common misconceptions of detoxes and cleanses, as well as answer some common questions: - How long should it take? - Which detox is right for me? - Is it a one time process or life-long? - What are we missing?
