		<description><![CDATA[We’re all amazed by those people who can quickly recall names, dates and events without blinking an eye.

It’s no accident... and it’s not just good genes, either. 

In fact, you can be one of those people.

Keep reading and I’ll show you, just like I’ve shown thousands of my patients, how to join that group and quickly repair, recharge and sharpen your brain.

Have you ever heard of methylcobalamin?

If you haven’t, it’s not surprising because 90% of the doctors out there treating patients for memory loss have never heard of this.

Methylcobalamin is a form of a vitamin that creates a protective layer around your neurons, the cells in your brain that process information. It enhances the speed at which messages travel so you can think faster.

Or how about apigenin? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Albert Einstein had only one thing different about his brain than the brain of everyday folks. I’m going to tell you what that is, and it has to do with the most common thing people worry about as they grow older.

In my experience with anti-aging medicine over the last 25 years, there have been plenty of things my patients worry about: looks, vision, strength, sexual potency, and so on.

But the hands down, number-one thing more people are concerned with over and above anything else is the decline of their brains.

The fogginess. Their loss of memory. The experience they’ve had with elders who can’t remember things. The struggle they’re having trying to keep the same level of mental energy and focus. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was introduced to a remarkable healing herb during my latest trek through the Amazon Rainforest.

The natives of the Amazon River Basin have been using this potent herb to prevent fatigue and increase endurance for centuries.

I was lucky enough to have the chance to experience this herb first-hand during a 15-mile hike through the jungle. I was expecting to feel drained and sore... but that wasn’t the case at all. I felt incredibly focus and energized. In fact, I felt like I could keep going for another 15 miles… no problem!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Oxygen is your most important healer. It’s your most effective detox agent, a crucial blood cleanser, your strongest antibiotic and the lead orchestrator of your immune system. 

The more oxygen you have, the better your lungs can breathe, the stronger your heart beats and the faster your brain thinks. It’s why you can digest and absorb nutrients from your food, and why you can move every muscle in your body.

Oxygen also plays a huge role in giving you energy. Every cell uses oxygen to make the energy that keeps you going and lets you do all the things you want to do every day.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Pop the cork on a bottle of champagne and you know it’s time for a celebration. “The Bubbly” makes you feel good right away because if you’re drinking it, you know times are good.

Did you know it’s good for you, too? Champagne is packed with polyphenols, which are antioxidants from the grapes. They help protect your brain and your heart, keep your blood pressure low, and increase the “feel-good” chemicals in your brain.

There are other plants that have some of the same compounds you can find in champagne. Cocoa has them, for example… but a cup of hot chocolate somehow doesn’t seem as fun as a glass of champagne.

You get champagne either by combining two kinds of black grapes, pinot noir and pinot meunier, or by using the white chardonnay grape, and letting them ferment. That just means you let the grapes sit there until their sugars turn into alcohol.

But with champagne, you let them ferment twice, instead of once like regular wine. That’s when the bubbles start to form. And that’s when the fun starts. Not just for celebrations, but for your body, too.

As it turns out, champagne is very healthy.]]></description>

But there’s one supplement I tell everybody about, and take myself every day.

It’s Coenzyme Q10.

CoQ10 has so many benefits; it’s surprising that foods aren’t fortified with it.

I call it “bio-power.” It’s your cells’ ability to do what they’re supposed to do.

The problem is, as you age, your body doesn’t generate as much as it did when you were in your 20s. And unless you do something about it, we all gradually feel the loss of this critical energy.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Deep brain stimulation” is what they’re calling it.

It almost sounds soothing and nice.

Did you hear about this? Scientists use electrodes to “stimulate” the brains of depressed people.

The whole thing works through surgically implanted probes in your brain that are connected to an electrical device sewn into your chest.

They say it’s like a pacemaker for your brain.

I call it the new shock therapy.

People with Parkinson’s disease use similar things to improve their mobility. But when the devices are turned on, the patients can’t talk. The flow of electricity interrupts other brain functions.

I don’t believe anything that invasive can be good for you. ]]></description>

When you get a little older, your mental functions decline … your thinking and reaction time slow. It’s probably natural. But is it unavoidable?

As it turns out, you don’t have to become one of those slow-lane drivers just because you’re “getting older.” In fact, despite what you may have heard, cognitive decline is not inevitable. ]]></description>
