Daily Brain Protocol for Optimal Cognitive Health

My Daily Brain Protocol" "(aka how I’m trying to keep my brain sharp while building companies, raising a toddler, and flying across continents)" "" "Over the years, I’ve tested dozens of tools and routines to support my brain. Not because I wanted to “optimize” for fun, but because I started noticing symptoms: brain fog, poor focus, mental fatigue." "" "And recently, my TruDiagnostic TruAge report confirmed it: signs of neuroinflammation." "" "So I decided to get back into my old daily brain protocol, which I had abandoned for a while, focused on lowering inflammation, boosting mitochondrial energy, and increasing cognitive resilience." "" "- Morning sunlight walk - 20–30 mins fasted. Light in my eyes + movement = circadian reset." "- Neurofeedback training - 20 mins every 2–3 days. Alpha/theta balance and focus calibration." "- Infrared sauna (or sauna blanket when traveling) - 30 mins post-work. Clears my mind instantly." "- Cold shower or plunge - 2–3 mins. Increases BDNF and resets nervous system." "" "Supplements" "- Creatine (5g) - brain energy + neuroprotection" "- Omega-3 (DHA-heavy) - anti-inflammatory, essential for cell membranes" "- Lion’s Mane - for NGF (nerve growth) and memory" "- Magnesium Threonate - crosses the blood-brain barrier" "- Saffron - natural mood and serotonin support" "- L-Theanine + GABA - taken at night, supports deep sleep" "" "And when I feel overwhelmed…" "" "I unplug. Breathwork. A walk without my phone." "No tech, no protocol, just space." "It’s the hardest part for someone who used to be plugged in non-stop." "But I force myself to do it." "" "Because sometimes, the most powerful protocol is less doing, more being." "" "Have you built a brain health routine that works for you?" "Curious to learn from others in this space." "" "Share your top tool or practice for brain health." "" "#BrainHealth #Neuroinflammation #HealthOptimization #Biohacking #Longevity
