Fueling Your Brain: The Power of a High-Protein, High-Fat Diet for Cognitive Health



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.

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