inflamed the brain.

It was so interesting because when COVID first started, I mean, I have all these patients and they would get COVID and they get anxious or they get depressed or they get psychotic.

You could see it on their scans where their emotional brains became dramatically overactive.

And if you have long COVID, it's damaging.

Your brain.

You can actually see it on scans.

Why did COVID... I mean, I think that's true.

So, if you get COVID...

In the next six months, you have a 25% increased risk of having a new onset psychiatric illness.

And what our scans taught us, it caused inflammation that targeted your emotional brain.

And so the way to help that is

is omega-3 fatty acids decrease inflammation.

Curcumin decrease inflammation.

Quercetin, another supplement, decreases inflammation.

And then make sure you're on an anti-inflammatory diet where you're not eating processed foods, much sugar, or much simple carbohydrates.

There's a fascinating study from the Mayo Clinic where they looked at people who had a fat-based diet.

So think avocados, nuts and seeds, green leafy vegetables, salmon, healthy oils, 40% less risk of getting Alzheimer's disease.

People had a simple carbohydrate-based diet, bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, fruit, juice, sugar, a 400% increased risk of Alzheimer's disease.

The D in bright minds is diabesity.

You do not want that.
