The Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle: Upgrade Your Brain, Upgrade Your Life

When neurogenesis is high, you are alive, engaged, expansive, fulfilling your potential. Your mind’s abilities are enhanced and your emotional vitality is strong. You are protected from stress and depression. You feel good and life

is fulfilling. Immunity is robust. Your spirits are high and your outlook is positive.

With a low rate of neurogenesis, your brain shrinks, your life contracts, and you move toward memory

loss, cognitive deficits, dementia, stress and anxiety, depression, reduced executive function, immunity, and myriad health problems. When neurogenesis is low your whole quality of life suffers. Having a high level of neurogenesis may be the most important thing you can do to cultivate a high quality of life.

You will never be “over the hill” because there is no hill and never was, only a constant, steady progression. But with this book you can even increase your rate of neurogenesis—in your twenties, thirties, middle or old age—and consequently upgrade your brain and your life.

At any age, you can operate at a higher level than has ever before been possible.

high rates of neurogenesis are associated with:

• higher cognitive function

• better memory and faster learning

• emotional vitality and resilience

• protection from stress, anxiety, and depression

• elevated immunity

• enhanced overall brain function

Increasing neurogenesis dramatically improves everyday life at all stages and radically transforms what

aging looks and feels like.
