Google Tech Talk by Steven William Fowkes concerning how to better nourish your brain and improving how you think. A bit lacking on real, actionable advice at times, and the video seems to keep stalling, but overall quite good. Includes:

  1. Which nutrients promote optimal brain function?
  2. What nutrients are commonly deficient enough to impair mental performance?
  3. How can you get a better nights sleep without Ambien?
  4. What nutrients counteract aspects of aging?
  5. Is there an alternative to serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI) antidepressants?
  6. What modern nutrition myths lead us to consume products that sabotage healthy brain function?
  7. What tests can you get from your doctor?
  8. What nutrients affect appetite, alertness, and tension?
  9. What nutrient combo will prevent hangovers 90% of the time?
