Brain-Boosting Basics

Boost Your Brain Health Naturally: Fuel Your Focus, Memory & Mood

At Harding Holistics, we believe true wellness starts with a healthy brain. Whether you're juggling work, parenting, learning new things, or simply trying to stay sharp as you age, your brain needs support just like the rest of your body. The great news? There’s a lot you can do—starting today.

🧠 Brain-Boosting Basics

1. Eat Smart for Mental Clarity
Your brain is hungry for nutrients—especially healthy fats, antioxidants, and quality protein.

Here are Dr. John's top brain foods:

• Wild-caught fish (especially salmon & sardines): Rich in omega-3s for brain cell flexibility

• Organic eggs: Packed with choline, which supports memory

• Leafy greens: High in folate and antioxidants

• Blueberries: Tiny, powerful brain protectors

• Walnuts & pumpkin seeds: Full of healthy fats, magnesium, and zinc

2. Move to Improve
Physical exercise doesn’t just tone your muscles—it actually increases blood flow to the brain and encourages the growth of new neurons.

Try:

• Brisk 20-minute walks outdoors

• Balance exercises like yoga or tai chi

• Cross-crawl patterns (great for integrating left-right brain communication)

3. Prioritize Sleep
During deep sleep, your brain flushes out toxins and consolidates memories.
Dr. John's Sleep Tips:

• Be asleep by 10 p.m. for optimal hormone regulation

• No screens after 9 p.m.

• Use blackout curtains or a sleep mask

• Magnesium-rich foods or a magnesium supplement can help support restful sleep

🌿 Supplementing Smarter with Standard Process

We use clinical nutrition to support the body where it needs it most. For brain health, these are some of our go-to products:

🧩 Neuroplex®
A comprehensive formula that nourishes the central nervous system, combining whole food ingredients and synergistic organ tissues to support memory, focus, and clarity.

🌿 Ginkgo
Supports circulation—especially to the brain—and can improve short-term memory and attention span. Ginkgo also acts as an antioxidant shield for brain cells.

🐟 Olprima® EPA/DHA
These concentrated omega-3 fatty acids are critical for cognitive function, mood regulation, and reducing inflammation in the brain and body.

⚡ EZ Mg™
This magnesium blend supports nerve transmission, muscle relaxation, and sleep quality—all essential for a high-functioning brain.

🌟 How Chiropractic Care Supports Brain Function

Chiropractic adjustments do more than relieve pain. At Harding Holistics, we focus on restoring balance to your nervous system. By removing interference along the spine, especially in the upper cervical area, we help your brain and body communicate more clearly and efficiently.

Patients often report:

• Improved focus

• Better sleep

• Calmer mood

• Reduced brain fog

When your nervous system is in alignment, your brain performs at its best.

🧠 Dr. John's Brain Health Recommendations

Here’s how to take action this week:

1. Add protein to every meal – your brain loves amino acids!

2. Hydrate often – even mild dehydration affects memory.

3. Take a tech break – unplugging daily gives your mind a reset.

4. Get adjusted – especially during times of high stress or mental fatigue.

5. Ask us about a personalized supplement plan to support your unique brain and body.
