Kwik Brain with Jim Kwik

How do you fix your food so you can fix your brain? The food we eat matters, especially to our gray matter. We covered this topic a few times because it's an important key to optimizing your brain. We're so excited to have Dr. Mark Hyman back in the studio today to go in-depth about your food and brain. He is an international leader in the functional medicine movement and author of best-selling books on diet and physical health. In this episode, Dr. Hyman is going to share with you how our systems of agriculture, policymaking, and science affect our access to good nutrition, and consequently, our mental performance.  He explains the key factors that might be preventing you from optimizing your food choices, and what needs to happen within our food system to ensure everyone has access to good nutrition. Mark will then take us through his daily nutrition routine, to give us an example of a day of healthy eating to boost brain performance. Don't forget to pick up Dr. Hyman’s latest book today, Food Fix: How to Save Our Health, Our Economy, Our Communities, and Our Planet—One Bite at a Time. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?
