Biohack Your Brain audiobook

The older I get, the more interested I am in ways to protect my brain from the terrifying effects of aging. This book is written in a friendly, chatty way that made it easy to read. I loved that the author gives easy to follow practical advice to slow and even reverse brain damage. Some of the tips I started using immediately after reading and I do think I feel better. I've read other books on this subject that bored me so much I couldn't finish. This one is written for ordinary people, not for academics.

A quick and easy read about research-driven daily behaviors to optimize brain health. The author does an excellent job of describing the brain in easy to digest language. Her recommendations are simple and straightforward (such as exercise, a nutritious diet, and staying hydrated). What I found most helpful was the detail on WHY these things are critical for brain function with specific examples. She also includes stories about how her clients, including many NFL players, successfully used these strategies in their own lives.My main critique is that some of the recommendations could get pricy. I support investing in health, but an extensive list of supplements and a juicer are not affordable to everyone. She also is somewhat contradictory in the dietary recommendations, I think in an effort to be inclusive. She strongly encourages a plant-based diet, then pushes seafood several times.

Well researched and written with excellent doable advice. Still not going to shop at Whole Food though.

Now more than ever, we need to use our brains. Being the main control center, the central processing unit, it is a must that we take care of the brain - for the rest of the body to work optimal. I had a head trauma at an early age of 6, and I was shutdown. In less than a year, with my very supportive parents, I was blessed to have recovered from it. Coming from that experience, I know how it feels to have a brain that is efficiently working, and a brain that is working otherwise. Having read Biohack Your Brain by Kristen Willeumier made me more excited about two things: First, I had the epiphany that the brain has so much more to give, and a person's greatest potential depends on how one uses this organ (that is only 2% of our total body weight). Second, I was inspired to make simple, life changing tweaks, to improve my overall cognitive health, and in effect to my way of thinking, behavior, and how I handle life moving forward. I appreciate how the author created the book, because she took something complicated and made it simple. She explained the subject of brain health in real simple terms. With real stories to stress the point and to inspire readers. I can say that this book is for anyone. Whether 6 or 80 years old (or more). Whether you are recovering from an injury or you are in good health. Because throughout life, we all need an efficiently working brain that we carry between our ears.
