In this episode, I discuss nutrition and supplementation to reduce
the risk of brain injury and enhance brain performance and
long-term health. Most brain injuries, including traumatic brain
injury (TBIs) and concussion, are not from sports and are actually
quite common in non-athletes. I explain what happens in the brain
when a TBI occurs and discuss science-supported nutrients to reduce
the risk of brain injury, minimize symptoms, and improve
recovery. Summarizing both research and clinical studies, I
explain the neuroprotective effects of specific nutrients,
including creatine monohydrate, fish oil (DHA and EPA), vitamin B2
(riboflavin), choline, branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs),
magnesium, and anthocyanins. I also describe the recommended
dosages, frequency, timing, and potential adverse effects and
provide options for supplementation and whole-food sources.
Listeners of all ages and backgrounds will benefit from
understanding which nutrients can support acute brain injury and
natural age-related cognitive decline. Access the full show notes
