Omega-3 fatty acids (or Omega-3s) are fatty acids with key roles in brain health and function. Most people have suboptimal levels of circulating omega-3s, and this has been correlated with higher health risks. My take for @PreventionMag #diet #health prevention.com/health/a658992…


Curious why you feel, think and act the way you do? One of the major pathways linking your diet and environment with your brain function is the gut-brain axis. Within this system are key conduits of data like the vagus nerve and immune system. austinperlmutter.com/post/how-does-…


Cleaner air is a massively underutilized tool for better overall and brain health. But did you know incense is a potent source of air pollution? That many of our daily routines can actually harm brain health? #health #air austinperlmutter.com/cleanairguide


Air pollution poses a unique and significant threat to children's brain health. Some of the studied risks include: -Higher risks of ADHD -Lower IQ -More aggressive/violent behavior -Worse mood See the full discussion here: lichenair.com/blogs/news/wha…


Check out my most recent conversation with @onecommune where we discuss air quality, hidden risks to our health in our air, and what we can do about it today! #air #health onecommune.com/blog/podcast-d…


Air fresheners, scented candles and other fragranced products may seem innocuous. but a growing body of research suggests they may be problematic for our overall and brain health. Here's the latest: #health lichenair.com/blogs/news/the…


How fast your brain ages is in part a reflection of your nutrient intake. From creatine to magnesium to omega-3 fats, we're now learning that targeted dietary intake may help to slow the brain's rate of aging. For more, check out my video: youtu.be/0IpmF1EVDEs #creatine

We obsess over the "toxins" in our food. We spend billions on the latest superfoods and green powders. And yet the biggest missed opportunity we have for health is right is all around us: our air. This is why Lichen Air exists. Check us out! #air #health lichenair.com


Traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) can be a significant issue for health. Here's what it is and why it's something we need to take seriously (and what to do about it!). The latest blog I've written for lichenair.com/blogs/news/tra…


We breathe 20,000 times a day, and powerful research over the last decades has revealed that what’s in this air doesn’t just impact our lungs. Our air quality massively affects brain health, influencing mood, cognition, behavior and so much more. lichenair.com/blogs/news/how…


The drivers of the obesity and overweight epidemic around the world are more than just our food. We now know that multiple environmental variables contribute to the rewiring of our biology to promote excess weight gain. One newer addition to the list is the quality of our air.


Is creatine a nootropic? Recent research suggests supplementation may benefit brain energy and immunity. For more, check out the video! #creatine #health youtube.com/watch?v=WtknlS…
