Brain Issues
Everything we do affects the brain: the inflammatory foods that we eat, how we think, how much we exercise, what environmental toxins we are exposed to, and even how we maintain our gut health. Many brain issues are systemic disorders where the body affects the brain.
Today, more than ever, our brain health has been compromised. Current data from the Centers for Disease Control reveals a 41% increase in rates of ADHD diagnosis over the past decade and a forty-fold spike in bipolar disorder diagnosis. Similarly, diagnoses of various autism spectrum disorders, once considered rare, have increased by 78% since 2002.

Every 3 seconds, someone in the world develops dementia.
