Paperback – April 6, 2015
Description
Review “This is the most important book you’ll read this year, about the biggest discovery in neuroscience of the last century. With meticulous research Dr. Cortright has rescued new, paradigm-shifting findings about neurogenesis from being lost in neuroscience journals and brought them to the wider public to show the astounding number of ways all of us can expand our cognitive abilities and overall brain function.” -- Frank Echenhofer, Ph.D., Neuroscientist, Professor, CIIS “This is the best book to give anyone over 50! Dr. Cortright’s engaging and well researched book on how to generate new brain cells as we age offers practical information, inspiration, and hope for aging brilliantly.” -- Cathy Coleman, Ph.D., Conscious Aging Trainer, Institute of Noetic Sciences “For years, I’ve been waiting for the book that would show how the whole brain can be enhanced, not just one of its functions, not one of its certain skills, but the brain on the whole. And here it is. Written in a clear, convincing and energetic manner by seasoned researcher, clinician and life-long educator Brant Cortright, Ph.D., the groundbreaking Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle presents an indispensable set of scientifically grounded skills and strategies which lead to optimal brain health at any age and stage in life. In his truly holistic, original concept of “neurohealthy life”, Prof. Cortright teaches us how different modalities of life engage the central biological mechanism of neurogenesis, which underlies subjective well-being. This book is the first of its kind to show the reciprocity of health between the organ inside our heads and the rest of the body and mind. As a guide to retraining, attuning, enhancing and vivifying the brain and a manifesto of holistic health, this book will be of interest not only to the general public, psychologists, psychiatrists, and neuroscientists, but to everybody interested in the practical aspects of the mind-body problem.” -- Olga Louchakova-Schwartz, M.D., Ph.D., Neuroscientist, Professor and Director of Research, Sofia University About the Author Brant Cortright, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist and Professor of Psychology at California Institute of Integral Studies. His consulting practice specializes in cutting-edge brain health and neuroscience-informed depth therapy. He is the author of two previous books and lives in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Features & Highlights
- “#1 International Bestseller, The Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle has quickly become an international sensation. The book brings together the latest in neuroscience research to present a new and proven approach to brain health and aging.
- “The most important book you’ll read this year.”
- The Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle brings together the latest in neuroscience research to present a new and proven view of brain health and aging. Only recently has it been discovered that the brain produces new brain cells throughout our entire lives, a process called neurogenesis.
- The rate at which we form new brain cells has a profound influence upon every aspect of our life
- . When the rate of neurogenesis is low, we see cognitive deficits and memory problems, anxiety and stress, depression, and lowered immunity. Life is difficult. With high rates of neurogenesis we see the opposite:
- enhanced cognitive abilities, rapid learning, emotional resilience, protection from anxiety, stress and depression, heightened immunity and robust health
- . We flourish. Life is wonderful. Given the neurotoxic norms of society, it’s almost universally true that your brain is working
- far below its capacity
- . It is deteriorating much faster than it needs to. What good is living longer if your brain can’t go the distance? Recent discoveries in the emerging field of neurogenesis reveal the secrets to radically improve your brain’s health. You can operate at a higher level than you ever dreamed possible – at any age!
- "A revolutionary paradigm shift in brain health and brain aging."
- This scientifically validated, 4-point program of diet and lifestyle will: • Improve your
- memory
- and
- brain power
- • Inoculate you against
- stress
- and
- depression
- • Prevent or delay cognitive decline, dementia and
- Alzheimer’s
- • Enrich your relationships and
- sex life
- • Help you connect with your loving center of
- peace
- This book presents the latest neuroscience discoveries to increase brain power, enhance memory, increase brain fitness by seeing what kinds of brain exercises actually work, and build a better brain. It contains dietary recommendations for brain food, brain vitamins, brain supplements, memory vitamins and memory supplements.
- “This is the best book to give anyone over 50!”
- This book also spells out the symptoms of dementia, the stages of dementia, signs of cognitive decline and stages of Alzheimer’s. The plan presented in The Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle will help to ward off cognitive decline and avoid dementia stages. This lifestyle is the only lifestyle for which there is scientific evidence supporting it, based on a late 2014 research study by the Buck Foundation. The Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle is aimed at improving how your brain functions. Your rate of neurogenesis may be the most important factor in your brain health. And increasing your rate of neurogenesis by three to five times can result in powerfully improved memory, learning, cognitive enhancement, as well as improved immunity and protection against stress and depression.
- You can live and perform well beyond where you are now.
