- Hi, I'm Dr. B.J. Hardick.
I'm a co-author of Maximized Living Nutrition Plans
and we're talking right now in Maximized Living
about how to maintain a healthy, fit, strong brain.
You know there's a number of things
that people can be doing through
the five essentials of Maximized Living
to make sure that your brain is healthy and strong.
And it has become so much more prevalent now
that we need to take care of our brain
because we see so much cognitive decline.
You know it's very very scary that I think
one in two people show some very serious signs
of decline over the age of 80 or 85.
That can include Alzheimer's disease.
We even start to see about one in eight people
start to experience things like memory loss
and difficulties even over the age of 60,
so it's very important that we wanna start
taking care of the brain at a young age.
But at the same time, if you've already started
to experience some symptoms of
you know, forgetfulness or
heaven forbid, signs of dementia, Alzheimer's,
any of these things, there are ways to
take care of yourself as best as possible
from a very natural perspective.
So we wanna talk about some of the vitamins
and supplements that we know can indeed play a
very very helpful role.
Ones that you can certainly consult
with you Maximized Living doctor that much further.
Couple things we would look at is you know,
I've always been a big proponent of getting in
the right ratio of omega three to omega six fatty acids.
And you know, nowadays people are typically
getting about a ratio of 50 to one
omega sixes to omega threes.
So you know, I think it's very important
that you're getting in enough omega threes
to balance that out.
Now, no one knows for sure but it is believed
that in our ancestral times that our ancestors
would have consumed more like a ratio of one to one.
Or maybe it might have been maybe three or four to one
omega six to omega threes.
But we do know that the brain thrives better
at those lower levels.
Unfortunately now with these ratios
excessively high with a lot of processed
vegetable oil in the diets and that type of thing,
it's very very key that you, you know,
build up the omega three intake into the body.
But it doesn't mean that omega sixes are bad.
I mean, omega sixes obviously are here for a reason.
They do play a role in your body.
You do need the role of omega sixes,
but they gotta be the good omega sixes.
They have to be non-denatured.
So certainly looking at a quality omega.
Obviously Maximized Living carries
an optimal omega which helps you get closer
to that ratio, and there may be some people
who may just need to boost exclusively
with omega threes if the ratios are too far off.
Or if you've had a history of you know,
depression or ADHD or some type of difficulty
where we'd like to see things function
and fire better in the brain.
So definitely looking at omega intakes, that's huge.
Next thing we're gonna talk about is CoQ10.
Vital for energy, and it has indeed been shown
that in studies, that CoQ10 does prevent some,
I shouldn't say that it prevents neurodegeneration,
but it has some guarded impact against neurodegeneration.
Obviously you've gotta look at the whole picture
when it comes to your health,
but taking CoQ10 is vital for energy.
Something we don't think about a whole heck of a lot,
sometimes you get CoQ10 in a multivitamin supplement.
If you don't, certainly it is very vital
for energy and brain function, can be taken on it's own.
The next thing I think is key to look at is B vitamins.
Again, often available, you can get enough B vitamins
through a quality multivitamin.
Or if necessary, you may find that you do better
by supplementing with additional B vitamins.
I can certainly say experientially as a chiropractor
I've worked with a number of clients who've had
a history of depression, and when they supplement
with more B vitamins, they find that they do a lot better.
They sleep better, their symptoms are greatly reduced.
There's also a lot of clinical studies
looking at the role of B vitamin depletion
and how that is connected with things
like depression and other associated disorders.
So, do look at B vitamins.
Not only as a preventative basis in say,
something like a multivitamin, and or your foods of course,
but perhaps even a boost if you've dealt with some issues.
Vitamin D three.
Vitamin D three is just vital for everyone.
I mean vitamin D three pretty much
when you look at it is the vitamin
that you should get from the sun.
And if you really wanna, really wanna break it down
it's not a vitamin you get from the sun,
but it's certainly activated when
those UV rays touch, you know get to your skin
and vitamin D three really is a pro-hormone
that is involved in just about every
immune process in your body.
And that's why it's so vital.
We've also seen some benefit with vitamin D three
with certain individuals who's had,
who've had difficulty with cognitive decline.
When you're taking vitamin D three
we do recognize that in the conventional world
the standards are quite low.
You know we'll often hear about people needing to take
you know, 400 units of vitamin D three on a daily basis.
Or a thousand units on a daily basis.
Most in the natural health world though
would recognize that in order to get your body's
own levels of maintained vitamin D three
to a level where you're doing much better,
people typically need to take between
five and 10,000 units a day.
Now it is individual, certainly people could
go get tested and find out you know,
what are my vitamin D levels that I'm taking in?
The test that somebody would get done
has to be very very specific.
It's actually called a 25 O-H-D three test.
But that's so you can find out just exactly
how much vitamin D three you need to take.
But at a bare minimum now days, natural health experts
would say at least be doing 5,000 units a day.
And in those winter months if you're not
getting as much sun exposure, people are probably
typically gonna do better with 10 to 15,000 units a day.
But it is certainly individualized.
You wanna maintain a good level in your body,
and that's not always just exclusively related
to how much you take in.
Some people can actually maintain a higher level.
One tip we would give you, there are co-factors
for all of these.
I mean certainly there's co-factors for vitamin D three.
People ask me about vitamin K two.
Well you know what?
There's vitamin K two, there's manganese, there's boron,
there's a number of co-factors that
contribute to the proper functioning of
vitamin D three in your body.
What I learned from a great mentor years ago
is that raw spinach has all of them.
You know, so I'd wanna be getting in vitamin D three
on a regular basis.
If you're getting it in any type of supplement form,
try to get it where there's no excipients, no additives.
Try to get in those 5 to 10,000 units all
in one supplement as well so you don't have
to take you know, handfuls of supplements.
But also raw spinach every day will benefit
the use of vitamin D three in your body.
And also we always come back to a perspective on detox.
You know, I certainly,
I dealt with severe mercury toxicity years ago
that was actually discovered by a lab.
You know, so my mercury levels were
10 times higher than what was considered acceptable.
So I started doing a lot of research into toxicity
and certainly in my own case, mercury poisoning.
You know there's studies out there that show
that you know, mercury does cause
brain neuron degeneration.
You know that one study was done actually by the
Department of Medicine at the University of Calgary.
You know so this is stuff that is not just
health food store conversation,
but it is known and respected at the university level
that toxicity can cause neurodegeneration
including the nerves in your brain.
So I'm a big fan of some level of perpetual detox.
Obviously Maximized Living has always placed
an emphasis on essential number five
of minimizing toxicity so you don't have
as many pollutants getting in the body.
And that's why it's so vital that vitamins
and supplements, they don't have a lot
of excipients and additives and
you know excess sugar and fillers and colorants
that you just don't need.
But I'd also say this too,
none of us are,
none of us probably led a life where
we didn't get any pollution in the body.
Even when we try very very hard.
We certainly know the air is polluted,
certainly water can contain chemicals.
One thing that's just very real and scary
is I've lately seen how a number of city
water supplies,
regardless of what your position is on consuming
chlorine or fluoride, but a lot of city water supplies
now have residues from medications that people
have flushed down the toilet.
Including birth control pills.
You know, so absolutely I want to take an approach
in addition to a multivitamin which gets the nutrients in,
I wanna do everything I possible can
to make sure that I'm getting waste out of my system.
And really detox is not a fad.
You're body has a liver, you have kidneys,
you have a gut, your body's always trying to detoxify.
I mean, clearly the body was designed
knowing that it would come in contact
with environmental pollutants
and that your body would have to get rid of those things.
But there are ways that we can benefit the body
and increase it's detoxification potential
by really doing two things.
Really working to increase your body's levels
of glutathione which is your body's number one antioxidant.
It recycles all the other antioxidants in the body.
And then the other part of the two step process
is making it so that you're clearing
any pollutants out of the body.
And that's, that's where a benefit of
these earthly elements like activated charcoal
or even sometimes we've seen people use
things like diatomaceous earth.
Or we've seen people use things like bentonite clay.
All of these things, they're magnetic,
essentially to environmental pollutants and waste
and they can help to pull those out of the body.
Obviously the ML detox system
addresses each of those areas.
And there could be other ways that you can
look at detoxing as well on a daily basis too.
I mean, I'm a big fan of all the things
that would, all the things that would boost
your glutathione levels.
So exercise and getting your glutathione
from raw vegetables as well.
When you cook vegetables you deplenish
your levels of glutathione, that's not good.
Certainly doesn't help with detoxification.
So good raw foods into every meal are wise as well.
So this isn't going to solve every person's
brain issue, but they are key ways
that you can look at preventing
degeneration long term.
If you have further questions,
check in with your Maximized Living doctor.
