How Omega 3 Fatty Acids Can Reduce Your Risk for Alzheimer’s
The Nutritional Nerd
04/27/22 • 16 min
Hi everyone! This is Kelly - your Nutrition Coach and Brain Health Professional on a mission to teach you how to get a better brain!
Has someone in your family been recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s? Have you been wondering how to reduce your risk? You’re not alone!
More than six million adults over 65 years old have Alzheimer’s dementia. As startling a statistic as this is, numbers are only expected to rise.
An Alzheimer’s diagnosis can seem daunting and frightening for many people. Your memory and ability to perform daily tasks slowly dwindle. You fear becoming a burden and forgetting who you are.
But it doesn’t have to end this way. There are steps you can start taking today that can reduce your risk for Alzheimer’s. As the saying goes - an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
You may have guessed that your diet plays a critical role in all of this - and you’d be right. However, it can be challenging to know where to start when implementing the fruits, vegetables, meat, and supplements that are part of a brain-healthy diet into your everyday meals.
One such strategy is Omega-3s because they have many health benefits including:
- Lowering triglyceride levels
- Reducing symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
- Reducing oxidative stress
- Lowering systemic inflammation
- Improving asthma symptoms
- Improving ADHD symptoms
- Stabilizing blood sugar levels
- Supporting brain and nervous system development
So, if you are interested in learning more about dietary changes that can reduce your risk for Alzheimer’s, be sure to watch my video or read this week’s post!

How To Deal With Neurofatigue
The Nutritional Nerd
08/16/22 • 18 min
Hi everyone! This is Kelly - your Nutrition Coach and Brain Health Professional on a mission to teach you how to get a better brain!
Do you experience brain fog or neurofatigue? Do your symptoms ever make you feel isolated or frustrated because others simply don’t understand? Perhaps you don’t understand what is happening yourself.
In this podcast, we dive into the topic of neurofatigue, including what it is, what it feels like, the causes of neurofatigue, and most importantly, what you can do about it!
Neurofatigue is often called brain fog or mental fatigue. Most cases of neurofatigue result from a TBI - including concussions, blows to the head, or strokes. Other causes include chronic Lyme disease, chronic migraines, malnourishment, and even hormonal imbalances or PCOS.
But how do you know if neurofatigue is affecting you?
Well, neurofatigue is also called cognitive fatigue or brain fog because it includes pronounced mental fatigue after any form of mental activity. This "mental activity" can include almost anything, from writing to doing paperwork, shopping in a big box store, watching a movie, or simply engaging in conversation.
People often describe neurofatigue as the feeling of being completely exhausted or depleted. They have no brain power or energy to focus, remember information, learn anything new, or perform daily activities. Concentration and focus can become so difficult after bursts of mental activity that even simple daily tasks can be debilitating.
Be sure to watch the entire video to learn more.

Hi everyone! This is Kelly, your Nutrition Coach and Brain Health Professional on a mission to teach you how to get a better brain!
In today’s video, I had the privilege of sitting down with none other than Udo Erasmus - pioneer of the healthy fats movement and advocate for improving people’s lives from the inside out.
After being poisoned by pesticides in 1980, Udo Erasmus turned his passion and attention to health. He created a method for making good oils with health in mind, developed the first ever flax seed oil, and authored several books about the effects of oils on health including Fats That Heal Fats That Kill, Choosing the Right Fats, and Omega 3 Cuisine.
He has also enthusiastically educated the public in about 40 countries on the effects of oils on health and disease. For 15 years, he has spent 6-9 months a year living out of a suitcase to spread the message of good oils and health.
So, you don’t want to miss this interview! In it, we talk about so much: the benefits of essential fatty acids, the problems with damaged oils, inner-peace, trauma and how to use the gifts contained within you to combat mental health disorders.

HeartMath & Simple Self Care to Improve Your Mental Health
The Nutritional Nerd
06/30/22 • 13 min
Hi everyone! This is Kelly, your Nutrition Coach and Brain Health Professional on a mission to teach you how to get a better brain!
Today’s podcast is all about self-care, why its important and how engaging in self-care can improve one’s mental health. As a bonus, I introduce you to HeartMath, one of the best forms of self-care in which you can engage!
What is HeartMath?
HeartMath is a scientifically-proven, evidence-based approach of tapping into the power of your heart to improve your mental conditioning. It allows you to take a moment, decompress, refocus, become revitalized, and switch into a parasympathetic nervous system state, and it’s much easier than you might think.
By using our heart’s natural rhythms and heart rate variability, we can bring all other bodily organs and systems into alignment - a state called coherence. When we are in this coherent state, we actually have the ability to change or restructure our nervous system and create positive mood states.
This allows us to:
- Better manage stress
- Improve our personal resilience
- Restore balance
- Reduce anxiety and depression
- Promote positive mood states
- Improve sleep, and
- Help us feel better overall
Listen to this week’s podcast to learn more about how the power of HeartMath can help you. Of course, feel free to contact me at [email protected] to learn more.

What Is the Grain Brain Diet? Everything You Need to Know
The Nutritional Nerd
07/28/21 • 16 min
Hi everyone! This is Kelly - your Brain Health Coach and Holistic Nutritionist on a mission to teach you how to get a better brain!
Have you heard about the grain brain diet? Wondering if carbs and grains really affect the brain? Our complete guide explains it all.
If you’re worried about your cognitive function as you age, if you struggle with a spotty memory or neurofatigue, or if you’re looking for a way to improve your brain health, you've come to the right place!
It was developed by Dr. Perlmutter in response to his research surrounding brain dysfunction and the effects of carbohydrates on the brain. He discovered that just like heart dysfunction, signs and symptoms of brain dysfunction build up over time as we engage in certain behaviours and adopt certain habits.
He discovered that people who eat high-carb, low-fat diets have greater levels of inflammation in their body and brain, cholesterol protects the brain, and that the gluten of today is dangerous. He also concluded that people who have a larger waist size have a smaller memory centre!
