Dr. Berg talks about nootropics. Nootropics are cognitive enhancers, improving memory, creativity, making you feel more awake, and works as a central nervous system stimulant. The problem with this compound is when you are taking it, it would make you feel great but you’re becoming more dependent on the pill to create its effects without really getting into the cause of the problem. 


Remedies for Cognitive Problems: 

• Take vitamin B1, B6, and B12 – Nutritional Yeast 

• DHA – Omega 3 Fatty Acids – Cod liver oil, wild-caught salmon oil 

• More Sleep 

• Intermittent Fasting

• Low Carb Diet 

• Exercise – specifically aerobic exercise, long walks
