Fitness With Johnny Group

Who doesn't love a slice of pizza? Just know that the food you eat plays a crucial role in your brain’s performance, resilience, and recovery. Whether you’re optimizing cognitive function, healing from a brain injury, or simply looking to stay sharp as you age, nutrition can make all the difference. One dietary approach that’s gaining attention for its brain-boosting benefits is a high-protein, high-fat diet. Let’s explore why this combination works and how to implement it effectively.

Why Your Brain Loves Protein and Fat

Your brain is an energy-intensive organ, consuming about 20% of your body’s energy despite making up only 2% of your body weight. It thrives on high-quality nutrients that support neurotransmitter function, cellular repair, and overall cognitive performance.

1. Healthy Fats for Brain Function

Fat is not the enemy—especially when it comes to brain health. In fact, about 60% of the brain is made up of fat,…

Let’s get one thing out of the way—I’m not a nutritionist or dietitian. I’m just someone who has spent a lot of time learning about brain health and recovery, and along the way, I’ve found some things that seem to help. One of those is Lion’s Mane mushroom (Hericium erinaceus).

I won’t make wild claims, but I will share what I’ve learned about this fascinating fungus and why many people—myself included—incorporate it into their routine.

Lion’s Mane has been gaining attention for its potential cognitive and nerve-regenerating benefits. Some studies suggest it may support:

• Memory and focus – Research indicates it might help with cognitive function, particularly in aging brains.

• Nerve growth – It contains compounds that may stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF), which could aid brain repair and regeneration.

• Mood and anxiety – Some users report feeling calmer or more balanced when taking it regularly.
