204: Eating Smarter for Your Brain with Shawn Stevenson

How do you eat smarter for your brain? Our brains are considered one of the most complex yet delicate systems in the universe, not to mention it’s the one organ that controls everything we do.  It makes sense then that we do all we can to protect it, right?  Today, I’m delighted to welcome back an exceptional guest, Shawn Stevenson, to discuss this topic. Shawn is the best-selling author of one of my favorite books, Sleep Smarter, and creator of the #1 Nutrition and Fitness podcast on iTunes, The Model Health Show.  In this episode, Shawn reveals some pretty daunting statistics about how much added sugar we consume each year and just how it’s affecting our brains in a phenomenon called hypothalamic inflammation.  He also shares about his new book, Eat Smarter, where he empowers us to understand that there are specific foods that we can eat and things we can do to make our brains work better. According to Shawn, if we can get our brains healthy, we can get our bodies healthy. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?
