Physical Factors Which Impact Brain Function
It is my opinion that there are four primary physical factors which impact brain function leading to superior or less than optimal cognitive health, memory, and focus. Memory support products can help with all of these. The four brain factors are:
- Brain Nourishment
- Cellular Energy for Cognitive Support
- Physical Brain Integrity
- Micro Contaminants in the Brain
Whether it is in the boardroom, classroom, or an athletic competition, brain support will enhance an individual’s natural abilities and facilitate optimal performance. Brain and memory support supplements can take your cognitive skills to a whole new level, ready to take command of any situation, and succeed and thrive within it.
As an executive, small business owner, parent, sports enthusiast, or biohacker, you seek great memory, high cognitive function, mental focus and stamina in what you spend so many hours per day doing.
Much has been published on brain function on the internet, but we seek to provide new information that is not so commonly known.
- The brain uses more energy than any other organ in the body. Thus, enhancing cellular energy production throughout your body will result better focus, cognitive health, and memory.
- It was recently discovered that the lymph system supports the Central Nervous System (CNS), including the brain. Scientists and doctors have studied the body for hundreds of years, yet a new pathway was discovered just eight years ago which explains how cellular waste products are removed from the brain.
- Newly named the Glymphatic System, it was established that the lymph system clears contaminants from the CNS, including the brain. And 90 percent of its function is done while you are sleeping. This suggests several ways to improve cognitive function and memory: get a good night’s sleep, support the clearance of waste products and microcontaminants from the brain, and protect the brain from entry of microcontaminants. We will discuss these strategies below.
- Now common knowledge, the brain and central nervous system (CNS) consist mostly of fats. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) – DHA and EPA, Choline, and cholesterol are the predominant ones. Twenty to 25% of your body’s cholesterol is in the brain. These fatty acids work synergistically with each other and many other micronutrients supporting brain function – focus, memory, and cognitive response time.
- Be sure that you want to reduce your brain capacity if you are considering cholesterol-reducing medications. While drug facts don’t directly call this out, the side effects such as headache, dizziness, fainting, tiredness, muscle weakness and pain, are suggestive of diminished brain and nerve function.
Brain Nourishment for Memory Support
The brain is made up of fats, neurons, blood vessels, and mitochondria. Phosphatidyl Choline (PC), Phosphatidylserine (PS), and DHA are the most common fats in the brain. Supplementing with Executive Edge™ Krill Oil (providing EPA, DHA naturally bound to choline molecules) and PS provide key brain memory focus supplements.
Nootropics are supplements that may improve cognitive function, particularly focus, executive function, support memory, creativity, or motivation in healthy individuals.
Nootroperall Focus!™ provides an excellent mix of nootropics – nutrients and polyphenols other than omega-3s: PS, Acetyl L-Carnitine, DMAE, Alpha GPC, vinpocetine, huperzine A, and others that the brain needs in addition to omega-3s. This formula along with phospholipid—bound omega-3s in krill oil has been especially beneficial for children and adults experiencing difficulty with attention and focus.

Cellular Energy for Cognitive Support
The human brain uses more energy than any other organ in the human body. Thus mitochondria are critical to brain function. Mitochondria are tiny organelles in every cell where local production of energy occurs. Support your mitochondria to support optimal brain function – cognitive, memory support, focus, and stamina.
NAD+ Boost! provides key energy support for every cell in the body. Niacin, Niacinamide, NMN and NMD are the four precursors of NAD+, meaning that any of these four naturally-occurring molecules are needed on a regular (every 2 hours) basis. NAD is a water-soluble molecule, so it is flushed from the blood stream within a couple of hours of entering. The great benefit of NAD+ Boost! is that it delivers adequate amounts of the precursor Niacinamide in a sustained release tablet – delivering 1,500 mg over a 6-hour period. This means that it saturates your blood stream with NAD+ for eight hours. As I mentioned above, a great amount of nutrient absorption, waste removal, and healing/recharging occurs while sleeping, so one NAD+ Boost! tablet taken at morning and evening meals and before bed provides 16 to 24 hours per day of brain energy support.
E=MC2 Endurance™ Formula supports multiple vectors of cellular energy in the brain and other organs. It is our best energy and endurance formula, which increases overall energy production, maximizes Nitric Oxide (NO) and endurance capacity, and enhances cognitive function. It is synergistic with NAD+ Boost! E=MC2 provides a mix of name brand ingredients, each with independent studies showing their performance, as well as a new study demonstrating how effective the formula works synergistically.
Energy Spark™ provides the unique, antioxidant form of Coenzyme Q10 called ubiquinol. It acts as the trigger for production of mitochondrial energy in the ATP energy production process. Energy is used for all brain functions including healing.
Clearer focus and thinking
Better decision making
Increased energy
Improved cognitive performance
Decreased irritability
Physical Brain Integrity
In a lecture on traumatic brain injury (TBI) at the Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine (AIHM) in San Diego, Michael Lewis MD, described his research at the VA with veterans suffering from TBI. He believes that high dose omega-3s provide the brain with basic building blocks for recovery from this trauma. His clinical research at the VA has shown the benefit.
After his lecture, we talked and I suggested that choline in Executive Edge™ Krill Oil provides the mortar in his analogy. You need both bricks and mortar to build a strong wall in the same way you need cellular structural integrity to support brain functions such as focus, cognitive health, and memory.
Don’t be misled that only one nutrient – DHA – is needed by the brain. All nutrients need a compliment of other cofactors to provide the best cognitive, focus, and memory support. In nature, DHA and other omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA exist in synergistic combination with omega-6, 7, 9, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidyl serine, in varying proportions in various fish and vegan sources. Nature creates these complimentary oil blends. Only pharmaceutical companies and physicians trained by them believe that a single nutrient will act as a silver bullet solution, absorb, circulate, and act independently of all other other nutrients in the body. Testing of fatty acids in Executive Edge Krill Oil identified 57 different choline bindings of the various polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in Biom3ga krill oil. This diversity of PUFA forms is a distinct benefit and should be celebrated by taking 1-2 softgels daily.
Micro-Contaminants in the Brain
So easy to accumulate, so difficult to remove. Whether young or old, susceptible people cannot function at full capacity if their brain is plagued by ubiquitous environmental contaminants such as heavy metals, hydrocarbon (plastic) molecules, herbicides, pesticides or any other micro-contaminant.
More and more kids are being diagnosed with brain development and behavioral issues. Understanding that they reflect vulnerability of the developing body to exposure to environmental contaminants and dietary gaps, sheds light on ways to avoid or deal with these societal issues.
Many adults fear reduced brain function as a result of aging. Understanding that lifelong exposure to environmental contaminants and poor sleep and diet are key contributors, also sheds light on ways to minimize the risk.
The solution is to strengthen your protective tissue barriers and remove accumulated micro-contaminants.
High dose, probiotics, scientifically found to degrade, bind and eliminate toxins, formulated in Detox Probiotics™, taken in conjunction with Gut Optimizer™ – Colostrum will strengthen your vascular microbiome, which acts as an intelligent microbiome barrier, lining the epithelial cells (surface) of your blood-brain barrier (BBB). This novel approach is described in my new book MMM Theory – A New Paradigm in Medicine, and international patent applications US 16/095,283, European EP17786578.9, and Australia 2017253087.
Omega-3 EPA and DHA conjugated (naturally bound) to Phospholipids in Executive Edge™ Krill Oil provide essential nutrients to strengthen the physical tissue barrier, while Detox Probiotics™ provide support for the vascular, gut, and sinus microbiome as well as degrading, binding and removing environmental contaminants.
A sophisticated formula such as Micro-Contaminant Detox will slowly remove contaminants which have accumulated in an adult or child’s body, based on protocols published by Garry Gordon, MD, DO. It also supports elimination of microcontaminants through the liver. This implicates liver function for memory support. Who would have thought?
