AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

And there have been randomized control trials to show that when the brain is under stress, particularly in the sleep deprived state, that creatine seems to boost cognitive power, which is great.

AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

So that's definitely something that I would check out.

The Genius Life
AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

I'm a big fan of omega-3 fatty acids, omega-3 fats.

The Genius Life
AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

You know, we know that the brain relies on omega-3 fats.

The Genius Life
AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

About 90% of the global adult population under consumes omega-3 fatty acids.

The Genius Life
AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

I was looking at a paper co-authored by Bill Harris, who is a omega-3 researcher.

The Genius Life
AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

I think he's the founder, in fact, of OmegaQuant.

AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

They've pioneered the omega index.

The Genius Life
AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

And what this paper suggested is that most adults, by consuming just one to two grams of omega-3 fats, combined EPA and DHA every day, can meaningfully improve the omega-3 index of a substantial portion of the population.

The Genius Life
AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

So I try to get about one to two grams of omega-3s

The Genius Life

every day from high quality fish oil.

The Genius Life
AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

We work with a number of brands that produce fish oil.

The Genius Life
AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

So, you know, full disclosure, but I strongly believe that Peoria makes a fantastic fish oil product.

The Genius Life
AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

One of those.

The Genius Life
AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

And, uh, on top of that moment is also great, you know, omega-3 producer.

The Genius Life
AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

Generally, you just want to make sure that your omega-3s are IFO certified, that they're in their most bioavailable triglyceride form, that you're getting a, uh, you know, uh, an adequate high potency dose of fish oil, which is, um, you want to make sure that the label indicates how much DHA and EPA you're actually getting.

The Genius Life
AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

So that's crucially important.

The Genius Life
AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

Um,

The Genius Life
AMA 4: Non-Negotiables for Brain Health, Top Evidence-Based Supplements, and Early Decline Warning Signs

So we've got creatine, we've got omega-3s.
