#177 The Taoist Map To Brain Health with...

Mason J. Taylor
About this episode

Today, in conversation with Sophia, Mason speaks to the subject of brain health, touching on the western perspective and expanding into the more holistic and conceptual Taoist lens- a perspective more geared towards long-term brain health. 

The modern mind certainly has to work for its peace and solitude. Pervasive technology, busy schedules, high-stress lifestyles and poor sleep habits put the average brain under substantial pressure. Which poses the question- What are you doing to protect and cultivate the health of your brain long-term? What are your desires and intentions for long-term brain health? 

In this episode, you will learn about nootropic herbs for brain health, how SuperFeast's potent neural nectar blend protects and upgrades mental acuity and why brain health is ultimately a result of full-body harmony and healthy flowing Qi through the organ systems.

 

Mason and Sophia discuss:

-The Dantiens.

-The Three Brains.

-What is a nootropic?

-The blood brain barrier.

-The six extraordinary organs.

-The function of The Sea of Marrow.

-What's your brain health intention?

-The Brain and the Kidney connection. 

-The best herbs for long-term brain health.

-The SuperFeast Brain Bundle-how to use it.

-How Jing herbs improve brain health and Intelligence.

-Neural Nectar contraindications and considerations. 

-Mason's personal story behind creating the Neural Nectar blend.

-Why the QI Blend and Neural Nectar Blend work so well together.
