THE NEUROGENESIS
DIET & LIFESTYLE!
Upgrade Your Brain, Upgrade Your Life
By Brant Cortright, Ph.D.

Only recently has it been discovered that the brain produces new brain cells throughout our entire lives, a
process called neurogenesis. The rate at which we form new brain cells has a profound influence upon every
aspect of our life. When the rate of neurogenesis is low, we see cognitive deficits and memory problems, anxiety
and stress, depression, and lowered immunity. Life is difficult. 
!
With high rates of neurogenesis we see the opposite: enhanced cognitive abilities, rapid learning, emotional
resilience, protection from anxiety, stress and depression, heightened immunity and robust health. We flourish.
Life is wonderful. 
!
Given the neurotoxic norms of society, it’s almost universally true that your brain is working far below its
capacity. It is deteriorating much faster than it needs to. What good is living longer if your brain can’t go the
distance? 
!
Recent discoveries in the emerging field of neurogenesis reveal the secrets to radically improve your brain’s
health, and this is the first book to bring together research to show how. You can operate at a higher level than
you ever dreamed possible – at any age! 
!
This scientifically validated, 4-point program of diet and lifestyle will: 
• Improve your memory and brain power 
• Inoculate you against stress and depression 
• Prevent or delay cognitive decline, dementia and Alzheimer’s 
• Enrich your relationships and sex life 
• Help you connect with your loving center of peace 
This book presents the latest neuroscience discoveries to increase brain power, enhance memory, increase brain
fitness by seeing what kinds of brain exercises actually work, and build a better brain. It contains dietary
recommendations for brain food, brain vitamins, brain supplements, memory vitamins and memory
supplements. 
!
This book also spells out the symptoms of dementia, the stages of dementia, signs of cognitive decline and
stages of Alzheimer’s. The plan presented in The Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle will help to ward off
cognitive decline and avoid dementia stages. This lifestyle is the only lifestyle for which there is scientific
evidence supporting it, based on a late 2014 research study by the Buck Foundation. 
!
The Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle is aimed at improving how your brain functions. Your rate of
neurogenesis may be the most important factor in your brain health. And increasing your rate of neurogenesis
by three to five times can result in powerfully improved memory, learning, cognitive enhancement, as well as
improved immunity and protection against stress and depression. 
!
You can live and perform well beyond where you are now.
