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!

Mental Health vs. Mental Illness: What’s the Difference?

What is the state of your mental health?

Do you have a mental illness? Does someone you love?

We throw the words mental illness and mental health around a lot. The terms are often used interchangeably. But what do they really mean? And what’s the difference?

Keep listening to discover what constitutes a mental illness, the prevalence of mental illness today, and actionable steps you can take to improve your mental health.

Mental illness vs. Mental health
Most people have mental health concerns from time to time. If we experience loss or disappointment, we may feel down or in a funk for days, not motivated to do anything or see anyone. We may even stop eating or eat more than usual. This is normal and part of how we individually cope with the ups and downs of life. But it does not necessarily mean we have a mental illness.

So what is a mental illness, and what exactly is our mental health?

Let’s start with the latter. Our mental health basically refers to our mental well-being.

It impacts how we feel, think, and act, as well as how we relate to others, handle stress, and make choices in life. In other words, our mental health refers to our ability to navigate the world, solve problems, overcome life’s challenges, understand what’s happening around us, and remain socially connected.

Because our mental health is an integral part of our overall health, we must take good care of it.

May is Mental Health Awareness month - so now is as good a time as any to consider the state of your mental health.

Do you suffer from anxiety or depression?
If so, you’re not alone. Current rates are at an all-time high - in part due to the very stressful last year we have all been faced with.
Much like any other health issue, research into anxiety and depression all too often focuses on treatments and managing symptoms while ignoring the underlying problem.
In many cases, as with my husband following his TBI, this leads to people suffering unduly while they search fruitlessly for solutions - often feeling alone and let down by the allopathic medical system.

If you can relate, especially in terms of your mental health and wellbeing, please keep reading.
Currently, rates of depression and anxiety are at all-time highs.
Why have rates skyrocketed? In recent times, the main reasons are due to issues surrounding politics, civil unrest, and an ongoing pandemic. Any one of these issues would make it difficult to cope without assistance, let alone all of them at once!
In the summer of 2020, 40% of adults in the US reported struggling with issues related to substance abuse and overall mental health. The problems causing these issues aren’t going to evaporate, so it’s up to you to find solutions that work for you.
The following list provides natural steps you can take at home to bolster yourself against the world’s many troubles naturally and manage your depression or anxiety.

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!
