9-page guide with Rhonda's protocols

This guide is the ultimate roadmap for reducing brain aging & improving cognitive function

Essential for neurogenesis & neuroplasticity, brain-derived-neurotrophic-factor (BDNF) production decreases as we age. The upshot: fewer neurons (and fewer the connections between them). This guide is your tactical checklist for better brain aging. Expect to learn specific exercise, omega-3, and heat stress protocols for boosting BDNF — all endorsed by Rhonda Patrick.

Learn how vigorous exercise increases lactate and why this is essential for improved cognition and delayed brain aging

Exercise is a powerful ally in enhancing aging, particularly for maintaining cognitive health. At the heart of this is brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a key player in numerous cognitive functions. BDNF impacts brain aging, functionality, behavior, memory, and metabolism by promoting neurogenesis and enhancing neuroplasticity.


BDNF and exerciseBDNF

In this guide, we’ll delve into the following:


Proven strategies extrapolated from robust scientific literature to amplify BDNF expression. As one example, for exercise, we provide a breakdown of specific durations, intensities, and types proven to stimulate BDNF — which acts as a compelling indicator highly suggestive of biological contributions to neuroprotection.


Various lifestyle interventions and protocols with a high potential to enhance cognitive function and slow brain aging. We’ll explore both those tied to BDNF and those effective through independent mechanisms.
