Quick Overview: Key Issues that are Connected to Brain Function

Insulin Sensitivity vs Insulin Resistance

• Break addictions to sugar, starch (simple carbs), and processed foods.

• Adopt a common-sense diet centered on a whole food, more plant-based diet with organic veggies and fruit, healthy fats, and minimize red meat and animal saturated fat, and dairy. Mediterranean diet is a good example to follow.

• Fiber supports insulin sensitivity.

• Probiotics improve cognition, healthy gut … healthy brain. An unhealthy gut … can cause inflammation in the brain.

• Sugar causes inflammation in the brain – most any doctor will tell you that chronic or prolonged inflammation is at the root of disease, including brain issues.

Toxicity, Chemicals, Glyphosate, etc

• Eat a diet and live a lifestyle that supports a strong immune system, provide antioxidants, such as Glutathione (NAC supplement, selenium, sulfur foods, cruciferous veggies)

• Reduce, eliminate, and detoxify!

Hydration

• The older we get we drink less water – the body is 60-70% or more water, if you are properly hydrated.

• The brain and heart are composed of 70-75% water.

• Set phone notifications throughout the day to remind you to drink water.

Stress

• Manage toxic stress and trauma / the quality of your thought life affects brain function, DNA, and gene expression.

• Stress and what you eat impact your brain and blood flow.

• Stress can impair memory, reduce brain size in.

• Chronic stress creates inflammation.

• Good stress, driven by purpose and meaning does wonders for the brain.

 Sleep

• Sleep behavior disorders linked to brain disease.

• Maintain adequate vitamin D levels.

• Stem cell activation patch, has helped numerous people improve quality of sleep, including myself!

Brain Stimulation

• Mentally stimulating activities promote new neural connections – strengthens our cognitive reserves and protects our brain against the onset of the dementias.

• The more you use your ability to think – the stronger your brain gets!

• Must be deliberate and intentional about building memory.

• Take 30 to 60 minutes every day to learn something new – new activities, games, reading book or articles, or listening to podcasts, then discuss what you have read and heard – and teach others what you learn.

• Make your conversations matter – take the time to listen to people’s stories.

• Good, challenging brain stimulation, along with getting rid of a high intake of sugar are two of the best things you can do for your brain.

Just as faith without works is dead, health without works, or action, is dead.
Action begins with a fully persuaded change of mindset.
We can turn back the clock, reverse symptoms of aging …
We can feel, look and live younger, and have an amazing mind, as we grow older!

David Cooley
Certified Health Consultant
Author

David spent over 27 years in the mortgage/real estate business. But 33 years ago, God re-directed his life and placed in him a passion for natural health and the prevention of disease. Today, David is a certified health consultant, and for the last 33 years has lived a natural food lifestyle and discovered simple, key components for living a lifestyle of health and vitality. One of the early things David realized is that disease was NOT the result of a drug deficiency. And that everything we think, say, and consume or are exposed to in some manner or another either supports our cellular structures or causes them to age faster and break down.  

David believes there is nothing more important than to live within God’s blueprint for one’s life. Each of us has been given specific gifts, talents, and purpose that are to be lived out on a foundation of faith in Him and His Word.

“It saddens me to see people suffering, frustrated, or discouraged with life … and fall into the rut of living, unable to reach their full potential: spiritually, emotionally, physically, and financially. I think it’s also a travesty in this country people that are not educated in personal health care, nor in how to protect their privacy, assets, and often liberties. God has designed us to live amazing lives, and sometimes it just helps to find someone who will come alongside us and provide the hope and direction needed at that moment. It’s about bringing together your personal and business aspirations into a balanced vision for your life, aligned with His Word.” A balanced life includes being active in your Faith, Family, Business/Production, and Health.

“Bottom line, what part of the equation is out of balance? Often health is the one that is put on the back burner until unwanted health issues arise, then we are forced to pay attention. But how you approach those health issues determines whether you overcome them, accept and live with them, or die prematurely with them.”
