So oleic acid, as the name implies, is something you would find in like extra virgin olive oil.

You find it in a lot of Mediterranean fats.

You find it in the diet of somebody who's not being like fat phobic, which is one of the worst things for your brain.

Then DHA you would get from, for example, fish oil, right?

So those are hexanoic acids.

It's different than DHEA, right?

A lot of people confuse it with that.

What's the difference?

Hormonal precursor, like night and day.

DHEA is an upstream metabolite for different hormones.

cortisol, progesterone, testosterone, and it's great if you need hormonal support.

DHA is a fatty acid that allows for those myelin Cs to have the fat composition along with oleic acid that they need.

So first thing you would do is eat a diet that's rich in Mediterranean-style fats.

You've probably seen research that a Mediterranean diet's good for staving off Alzheimer's and dementia and stuff like that, and there's actually something to the idea of that

being good specifically for nerve signal propagation.

You also need, in between those nerves, to cross a little cleft in between each nerve, neurotransmitters.

And neurotransmitters are primarily made up of amino acids and they're supported by vitamin B, B like boy.

So if you have adequate protein in your diet,

you're breaking down that protein which actually as you age you can use a little bit of better living through science for meaning like if you in my opinion if you're older than about 40 and you're consuming protein you should have digestive enzymes along with the protein to help break it down and get more amino acids which amongst other things like say helping out with muscle can help out with neurotransmitter formation

Collagen, essential amino acids, any of like the supplements that have these broken down proteins in them would also count.
