Hi Chris I know your question was about brain exercises, but the brain needs rest too and you mention insomnia. Insomnia is such a horrible thing. And I'm sure you've heard so many tips, techniques, home remedies, and sure-fire ways to get to sleep. I'm guessing you've researched it really thoroughl...

Hi Theresa You're in the right place for learning as much as you can about this. My only recommendation would be to find a Functional Medicine Practitioner and get some advice on how to improve your cholesterol with lifestyle or supplementation before going down a medications route.

There's a book here in the UK, I hope you can get it in the US too. It's called "The Ketotarian Diet", so it's (mainly) plant based keto. You could have a look at that to see if it suits you. Remember in the ketoflex 12/3 pyramid, meat is right at the top as a tiny addition, rather than th...
