But then beyond that, so those rules and the rules that you have to follow to get there are not commonly known. But then beyond that, there's the personalization. Because we are all different. We're not different in what our cells need, but we're different in what we can tolerate. We're different in our metabolic health.

We're not different in what our cells need, but we're different in what we can tolerate. We're different in our metabolic health.

We're different in how old we are, how active we are, what conditions we already have, what conditions we're most at risk for, what our goals are, what our preferences are. whether we have food sensitivities, for example. And so all of those pieces, you know, food intolerances and different goals and different aspects of our lives, that's where the personalization comes in.

And I teach people in the book how to take these fundamental principles. So I teach them what the fundamental principles are, which are very simple. Nutrition is not rocket science. and then show them how to personalize it to their metabolism, to their preferences, to their goals.

So the fundamental principles are nourish, protect, energize. So nourish, what does a brain healthy diet look like? And by brain healthy, we are talking about what's healthy for all cells because it wouldn't make any sense to... for the human body to require a different diet for every organ you possess. So a brain healthy diet is a diet that's healthy for every organ in the body.

So it's good for the brain, it's good for the heart, it's good for the liver, etc. So what is a brain healthy diet? It needs to nourish, protect, and energize. Nourish. It must contain and be able to safely deliver all essential nutrients to your cells. So you have to know where those nutrients are.

You cannot, using whole food principles and not including supplements or specially fortified processed foods, you cannot meet that goal without including some animal foods in your diet. That's just the truth of our biology. Protect. Protect the brain from damaging ingredients. So what damages the brain? Inflammation, which you can't see or feel. It's not so the brain is red or swollen or sore.

The brain doesn't have nerve endings. But many, many people have brain inflammation without being aware of it. That's a main driver of depression and all kinds of other brain conditions. So you need to exclude. Protection is not about addition. It's about subtraction.

You need to subtract the foods from your diet that cause inflammation, that cause something called oxidative stress, which is why we're always told to eat more antioxidants. What we really need to be told is what's causing all that oxidative stress in the first place and remove those things because the antioxidant strategy really doesn't work. And energize. Nourish, protect, energize.

The third principle is energize, which means the brain, which is a very high energy electrical organ, it needs a constant supply of high quality, clean burning energy. And if you're eating the wrong way, your brain will gradually lose its ability over time to generate energy. That's primarily about getting your glucose and insulin levels into a healthy range.

Not just your glucose, although getting your glucose levels in a healthy range is extremely important. You have to go one step further because underneath that glucose, you need to know what's happening with insulin. And that's a really empowering strategy. It's sort of next level, right?
