We now have proof that sugar shrinks the human brain. So, the question is now: How do you regrow yours?The answer may be simpler than you think.New York Time bestselling author, brain health expert, and host of Freaky Eaters, Dr. Mike Dow, shows how sugar and bad fats shrink the brain--leaving people feeling blue, stuck, impulsive, and foggy. Dr. Mike coined the term "Sugar Brain" to describe this condition. Since most people in the modern world now eat sugar and bad fats at every meal, Sugar Brain is pervasive. The good news: Sugar Brain is reversible. The solution? Dr. Mike's 28-day Sugar Brain Fix. It uses his Kediterranean (TM) Diet template-- which combines mild ketosis with the Mediterranean diet. By combining brief periods of intermittent fasting with fasted workouts, you'll boost BDNF--a protein that's been called "Miracle-Gro for the brain." You'll also incorporate Mediterranean principles like omega-3 superfoods--the best overall diet for brain health. Dr. Mike will help you use two clinically proven principles to change your eating patterns: cognitive behavioral therapy and hypnosis. The Sugar Brain Fix also uses the secret of gradual detox to bypass withdrawal symptoms. Sugar and bad fats release serotonin and dopamine, respectively. Dr. Mike's program will show you how to manufacture these feel-good chemicals without addictive foods. In 28 days, your waistline will shrink as you grow your precious organ: your brain.
