Swimming, cycling, walking, running, and anything that gets your breathing hard .It is the single most powerful thing you can do to increase the rate of Neurogenesis.
In the part starting at 21:51 he talked about aerobic exercise for neurogenesis; anything that gets your heart beating fast and gets you breathing quickly and hard. He then went on to say that interval training or high intensity training is not good and it needs to be a sustained 20, 30, 40 minute workout. You can make adjustments to your HIIT training to keep your breathing and heart rate high enough for long enough. When you stop moving (or ease up) it takes time for your heart rate and breathing to drop too much. Alter the timing of your ease up periods; don't ease up too much or rest for too long then your heart rate won't drop too much.
Obviously there is an extreme shortage of Neurogenesis out there. People not able to think things through. Astromical obesity, diabetes, strokes, and heart attacks - but let's just keep listening to the diet strategies being pushed on us by the food industry.
I like to use the Stamets stack and then add fermented turmeric rhizome and raw whole cacao beans to the mix, I find it supercharges the nootropic effects and cognitive/memory benefits
As a neurodivergent person I find the caffeine in coffee and matcha to be helpful to me, BUT in small doses not huge cup! So my coffee will consist of 3 tablespoons of micotoxin free bulletproof coffee, marine collagen, MCT, stevia. 3 tablespoons of coffee instead of a whole cup lol!
Super curious your thoughts on the developing brain, specifically the hippocampus, and stress response. Do you think leaving a baby to cry past the point of basic survival mode, like classic psychologist teaching on the "cry it out" methods (Ferber and the like,) have a negative impact on the developing hippocampus. Verses responding to a baby's cry quickly. There are few long term studies (past 5 years) on the effects of the "cry it out" method. There are studies to show that baby still wakes during the night if they have been responded to or left to cry it out as a form of extinction sleep training, so the fact that baby gets more sleep in the long run doesn't hold up. I am wondering if increased cortisol has more of an impact on the developing hippocampus and lead to more Alzheimer's cases than we know or think about. Do you have any thoughts on this?
sound is not his fault, the mic was not adjusted properly, the woman was leaning close to it, but he's a foot taller. They should have given him a clip-on mic
This is this is great information however if someone is going to give a lecture the last thing they should do is whisper if you're going to give a lecture put the microphone up to your mouth and talk louder
@@Doriesep6622 Yes if playing in person. I tried online and seemed rather addictive. In that way (online) I really doubt that could be good for your (my) brain
In the last several years giant strides have been made in ability to reverse and/or prevent Alzheimer’s. Books by Dr. Dale Bredesen and Dr. Wesley Youngberg and others are in the forefront of these developments. They recommend much that fosters neurogenesis and many other practices which get very impressive results. While there is still no drug that provides any major aid to dementia, there are many factors that play a huge role in changing the trajectory of dementia.
But surely the chemicals used to decaffeinate coffee/ green tea etc defeat the purpose? Although the levels of the solvents left in the product pass the level of regulatory concern I'm still not convinced for some reason.
I am always amazed how many Nutritional experts there are that comment on RUclips videos. Thank goodness we don't have to listen to the PHD's presenting the talks, all we have to do is listen to the commenters who have such insight as This is BS. Thanks
Becoming a nutritionist does not involve as much training as becoming a neuroscientist or dietitian. Be on the lookout for real dietitians - they are able to provide a lot of useful, scientifically valid information.
What about hyperbolic chambers? I'v heard they help build or lengthen Telomere length & shorten or lessen Senescent cells! What R your thoughts about this??
Hello Brant, thank you for this video. I am interested in the concept that you mentioned regarding a cafe that focuses on foods that enhance brain health. How would you recommend that I develop a menu that will meet the benefits to the brain
I'm wondering if the brain responds better and forms new neurons due to low entropy foods that basically act as highly useable jet fuel. Higher entropy agents such as denuded sugars disrupt the transmission of energy to the cells. Sunlight is low entropy, so of course it is beneficial. Also, foods lower on the food chain (with the Sun and plants being closer to the top) tend to degrade food value as nutrients pass from consumer to consumer (like an insect which eats a plant, then is eaten by a rat, which is eaten by a cat). The cat would have the most degraded or polluted form of energy, whose chain began with the plant the insect ate. Thus, the availability of the energy is the key in the formulation of neurogenesis. Super foods, with their high availability of energy and nutrients, would be the best choice to initiate neurogenesis. Low entropy energy allows the brain to metabolize the energy effectively, creating the opportunity for neuro stimulation. Raw food delivers unaltered chemicals directly to the body, so raw food is probably the way to go since it is low entropy. Efficiency is key, and anything that alters the original construction of the food, degrading it, makes the food higher entropy and thus more toxic. Cooking, processing, altering, all make food correspond to a higher level of entropy. Keeping food on a low entropy level is what makes it salubrious.
+Mace, thank you for taking the time to submit your wisdom. Fantastic reminder about eating food raw moreso than not. I will try to grow some sprouts on my window sil. Take care.
Can someone clarify this. He says to not eat polyunsaturated fats in vegetable oil but then goes on to say we should consume EPA and DHA both of which are polyunsaturated fats. Please explain this apparent contradiction
Humans evolved on the diet of Omega 6 to Omega 3 fat ratio of 1:1 ( means hunter gatherer diet eggs, white meat , red meat and very very low carb , carbs only for survival) today thanks to pathetic modern diet human Omega 6 to 3 Ratio is 20:1 . Which is extremely inflammatory . The fact is in 19th century vegetable oil consumption was practically zero even less than 5gm per day ...today in America it's more than 80gm per day of vegetable oil. We don't need Vegetable oils for Omega 6. The diet on which humans evolved had the perfect balance of Omega 6 and 3 fats.
Very informative for someone like me who understands the science. Sadly the resource speaker keeps on clearing his throat, trembling voice and NO visual presentation. And we ask why science fails, it has something to do in how it is being communicated.
Decent lecturer & video. Well worth your time..😁 Green tea has lots of estrogens, so too much will create a hormonal imbalance, so mint teas are my preferred choice/suggestion. Learning a new skill or language etc will help to create new neural pathways. Bluelight filters for your glasses & electronics to protect/control the types of light you take in. Stop using fluoride toothpastes & aluminium based deodrants. Also, whatever your watching or learning from, crosscheck & take the time to do your own research. Be more mindful of yourself, your environment & others. Do good things for the sake of doing good. Knowledge is power, yet only when applied! 😉 Namaskar✌🏼
4:27 - 5:03 explains part of the difference in IQs between groups of different socio-economic backgrounds, which in our society may have implications on the race question!
A few things he's not well informed on. A high carb diet can increase your insulin sensitivity (whole foods!). EPA and DHA are not really Omega-3's but derivatives. But a nice talk, thank you!

If you're feeling depressed,if you're feeling anxious,or if you're feeling stressed, you probably have a low rate of neurogenesis.
