The Brain Fog Fix

Is stress preventing you from enjoying your daily life? Do you find that you’re becoming more distracted or forgetful? Are “the blues” sapping your spirits? Or do you simply feel not quite like yourself?

 “An eye-opening look at the way your diet can either promote or prevent brain fog.”

— J. J. Virgin, New York Times best-selling author

 If you want to reclaim your focus, memory, and joy, you’re not alone. There are millions of people fighting against the epidemic of brain fog that’s sweeping the nation. The good news: It’s not an irreparable condition; rather it’s a side effect of modern-day living.

 “Say good-bye to the toxic junk that gunks up your glorious brain. Thank you for this super simple program, Mike! It will leave folks feeling happier, healthier, and more luminous than ever.”

— Kris Carr, New York Times best-selling author of Crazy Sexy Kitchen

Many of the foods we eat and the habits we have do not support our brains. We no longer get what we need in order to produce essential brain chemicals that keep us energized, calm, focused, optimistic, and inspired. And even worse, our choices could lead to long-term problems, like dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, and anxiety. Sadly, if you look at the way most of us live, it seems almost as though we’ve chosen a lifestyle deliberately intended to undermine our brain chemistry and our health.

 "Sugar and inactivity don’t just lead to belly fat; they damage the brain.

Dr. Mike’s plan helps readers revitalize their lives.”

— Jorge Cruise, New York Times best-selling author of The Belly Fat CureTM

Fortunately, there is a solution. The Brain Fog Fix is an easy-to-follow three-week program designed to help naturally restore three of your brain’s most crucial hormones: serotonin, dopamine, and cortisol. Rebalancing these chemicals will in turn enable the rest of your brain’s chemistry to reach optimal levels.

Each week of the program focuses on a different element of your life:

• In week 1, you’ll improve your mood by modifying your diet and using cognitive strategies to overcome pitfall thought patterns.

• In week 2, you’ll increase your energy by focusing on sleep, exercise, and memory-boosting games.

• In week 3, you’ll enhance your spirit through practices that help you connect to something larger than yourself and enable you to rediscover your joy in life.

“As you work your way through this book, you’ll see that easy changes can create a profound difference in your life. You’ll learn that walnuts and grass-fed meats can improve your mood and that one inexpensive spice can drastically reduce your chance of dementia.

You’ll learn that relationships are more potent than any prescription mood booster and that our use of social media has the power to either improve or erode those relationships. You’ll discover how meditation and prayer work in the brain and why spiritual practice isn’t an optional extracurricular activity but, rather, a fundamental part of being human. At the end, you’ll find a simple 21-day program that will help you put these theories—and many others—into practice as part of your daily life.

My hope in writing this book is to teach you how to make all of these seemingly insignificant choices meaningful, which will then help you think and feel a little better tomorrow.  In good health,

Dr. Mike Dow”
