Lutein and zeaxanthin may improve cognition, even in younger adults Found in dark leafy greens like kale and Swiss chard, these carotenoids are best known for eye health They accumulate in the retina, where they help neutralize light-driven oxidative damage linked to macular degeneration risk More surprisingly, they also accumulate in the brain, where higher blood levels are associated with better fluid and crystallized intelligence

Kale is one of the highest-ROI vegetables you can put in a smoothie Its standout compound is lutein, a carotenoid that builds up in the retina and brain, where it helps protect against macular degeneration Emerging research also links higher lutein levels to faster cognitive processing and better fluid intelligence On top of that, a few cups deliver magnesium, calcium, and vitamin K (micronutrients many diets fall short on)

A daily multivitamin may be one of the lowest-effort ways to make an older brain functionally younger In large randomized trials of older adults (65+), those taking a basic multivitamin (Centrum Silver) showed better overall cognition, about a 2-year reduction in global brain aging, and ~4.8 years' improvement in episodic memory (the ability to remember events and experiences) Given that ~60% of Americans are low in vitamin E, ~45–50% in magnesium, ~35% in vitamin C, and 80–90% in omega-3s (with additional gaps in vitamin K and calcium), it’s clear many brains are running on suboptimal micronutrient status For many, a basic multivitamin is a practical way to close these gaps and protect cognitive function with age

Rhonda Patrick dropped this on Mayim Bialik’s podcast:“As simple as a cheap daily multivitamin… it reversed brain aging by five years.” Three large randomized controlled trials showed that older adults taking a basic affordable multivitamin for a couple of years slowed cognitive aging by about 3 years and reversed episodic memory aging by roughly 5 years. The COSMOS trial and related studies found daily multivitamin use improved memory, executive function, and slowed brain aging in older adults, likely by filling common micronutrient gaps. It’s a reminder that sometimes the simplest things still pack a real punch. In our rush for fancy biohacks and expensive protocols, we often overlook basic, affordable interventions that actually have strong evidence behind them. What about you — do you take a daily multivitamin, or do you rely purely on food?

$"Eating More Eggs Can Prevent Vision Loss, Age Related Macular Degeneration & Blindness." Dr William Li, MD "The Lutein, Zeaxanthin & Vitamin A In Eggs Prevents The Risk Of Developing Cataracts." "People Who Are Eating Eggs Have Good Healthy Cholesterol & Beneficial High HDL." Crucial Nutrients Found In Eggs That Protect Vision: 1⃣ Lutein & Zeaxanthin...Powerful antioxidants that assure eye health. These nutrients neutralize oxidative damage & filter harmful daily exposure to blue light. Free radicals damage the photoreceptors of the retina producing a disability in the pigment epithelium, which leads to irreversible vision loss from Macular Degeneration, Cataracts & Glaucoma. Lutein & Zeaxanthin are abundant pigments in the macula & have antioxidant & anti-inflammatory action, as well as a role as blue light filter. These carotenoids cannot be synthesized in the body & must be ingested with the diet. Eggs are the main source, because of bioavailability & absorption. 2⃣ Zinc...is essential for maintaining a healthy retina & crucial for vitamin A absorption. Zinc is a cofactor for Vitamin A. Zinc must be present in order for Vitamin A Retinol to be converted to Retinal for eye health & night vision. Retinal synthesizes into Rhodopsin, a protein in the eye that plays a crucial role in night vision. Zinc deficiency will lead to Vitamin A deficiency & result in night blindness. 3⃣ Vitamin A...Preserves the structural integrity of the cornea. The cornea is responsible for retracting light, allowing the eyes to see images clearly. The cornea's thickness must remain constant to prevent vision loss. Vitamin A maintains this integrity by promoting collagen cross-linking & hydration of the cornea, ensuring its refractive qualities remain intact. 4⃣ Choline...is essential for the development of stem cells that form retinal cells. Choline deficiency causes retinal diseases, glaucoma & dry eye syndrome. Choline is a precursor to acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in the parasympathetic nervous system, which is relevant to the function of lacrimal glands (tear production) & visual pathways. 5⃣ Omega-3 Fatty Acids...EPA & DHA, only found in animal sourced foods have potent anti-inflammatory effects. Chronic inflammation plays a significant role in dry eye disease & omega-3s in eggs prevent inflammation. A healthy tear film is crucial for keeping the eyes lubricated & comfortable. Omega-3 fatty acids improve the quality of this tear film, promote tear production & prevent the tear film from evaporating. ✳️Whenever possible, choose eggs that have these nutrients in their highest amounts, which will be found in pastured eggs. Find a local farmer or farmer's market that has pastured chickens who are fed soy-free & vegetarian-free diets, because chickens are not vegetarians. The most nutritious eggs will come from chickens who are outdoors for most of their life foraging for worms & bugs & whose owners even feed them meat scraps regularly. 👇Eggs Protect Against Macular Degeneration👇 👇Lutein & Zeaxanthin In Eggs Protects Eyes👇 👇Lutein In Eggs Protects The Eyes & The Heart👇 Speaker: Dr William Li, MD Video: goldenstevia$

Avocados are one of the most brain-healthy foods you can eat. They’re rich in monounsaturated fat, which supports cardiovascular health, and what’s good for your heart is generally good for your brain. They’re also packed with fiber, potassium (more than a banana, gram for gram), folate, and lutein, a carotenoid that accumulates in the brain and has been linked to better cognitive function.

I don't add bananas to my smoothies. Why? Not because bananas are bad (I love bananas). They contain polyphenol oxidase, an enzyme that can break down polyphenols. And studies suggest that when you add banana to a blueberry smoothie, you may absorb fewer of the beneficial polyphenols from the berries! So instead, I use avocado. It gives the smoothie the same creamy texture with the bonus of monounsaturated fat in avocado, which can increase absorption of carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin from kale - nutrients important for eye and brain health. I talked about this recently on my appearance on The Mel Robbins Podcast.

New longevity therapy started: cerebrolysin What is cerebrolysin Cerebrolysin is a mixture of peptides to enhance cognitive function. It fosters neuronal growth and repair which may improve memory. To date, cerebrolysin has been used to treat brain fog, brain injury, and slow down the process of dementia. Because a prior measurement indicated that I have swelling in my brain from my internal jugular vein stenosis (IJVS), we are examining the effectiveness of cerebrolysin in mitigating inflammation as well as any cognitive improvements. Baseline measurements After seeing my brain swelling via MRI from IJVS, we chose to proceed with cerebrolysin. We will be measuring the efficacy by monitoring brain MRI markers, sleeping HRV (3 month average at least, measured using WHOOP) and cognitive testing. Strength of evidence We find that the data on cerebrolysin in human clinical trials is promising. Most trials examine the effects of cerebrolysin on neurodegenerative diseases and the outcomes show consistent benefits in cognition and global clinical function. There is a considerable amount of research suggesting that cerebrolysin can be beneficial in treating neurodegenerative diseases, stroke, and brain injuries. We cannot recommend that anyone else participates until more extensive clinical trials have been performed. Protocol Ten, 5 mL intramuscular injections over 20 days. Cost: $160 What we expect to happen We will be investigating several brain biomarkers to document the effects of cerebrolysin. To measure the effects, we will specifically look at neurotrophic factors and markers of neural damage. MRI can be implemented to measure brain markers.

These are the supplements I give my aging parents: • A daily multivitamin • Vitamin D • High-DHA omega-3s • Ubiquinol (the reduced form of CoQ10) • Sulforaphane Why these? Large RCTs show improved cognition in older adults taking a standard multivitamin, with benefits equivalent to a brain that's 2-5 years younger. For vitamin D, more than 70% of older U.S. adults are insufficient, and aging skin produces far less vitamin D from sunlight (a 70-year-old makes roughly 4x less than their 20-year-old self). DHA is a key structural fat in the brain and supports cognitive function, especially important with aging and neurodegenerative risk, while CoQ10 supports mitochondrial energy production as levels drop with age. Finally, sulforaphane is a powerful activator of Nrf2, the body's master stress-response pathway, up-regulating glutathione and phase II detox enzymes.

Boron may play a supportive role for optimizing testosterone. Supplementing with 6-12 mg per day can increase free testosterone (not total testosterone) by suppressing SHBG. It's not something typically consumed in the diet, but you can find a multivitamin that has it. Note that most studies to date are in animals or mechanistic and your results may vary.

Three "superfoods" that I think everyone should eat weekly, if not daily: Dark leafy greens—they're a great source of magnesium, which most people are deficient in, plus folate and vitamin K. Blueberries—they're rich in polyphenols, which benefit brain health and improve cardiovascular disease risk factors. Just 1 cup per day can improve cognition. Salmon—it's one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids. Just make sure to opt for wild Atlantic salmon due to its high omega-3 and low mercury content. Eating salmon 2–3 times per week should get you the recommended amount of dietary omega-3.

A daily multivitamin can reduce brain aging and modestly slow down epigenetic aging clocks. In the COSMOS trial, older adults who took a standard Centrum Silver multivitamin daily for about 4 years performed better on cognitive tests and showed the equivalent of ~2 years less brain aging compared with those taking a placebo. The multivitamin also slowed epigenetic aging clocks, with an effect equivalent to about 2.7 to 5 months of slowed biological aging. That may sound modest, but I don’t think it’s trivial, and Prof Steve Horvath says that effects from safe, low-cost interventions can matter if they’re sustained over years to decades—2 months of slower biological aging could translate to 2.5 years if a good habit is maintained. These data push back on the idea that multivitamins are “completely useless.” If you’re filling nutritional gaps consistently over time, even a small benefit to cognition and biological aging could become meaningful. From the latest episode of the FoundMyFitness podcast.

Everyone should take a multivitamin. It's a simple, effective way to support long-term cognitive health, especially for middle-aged and older adults. About a decade ago, multivitamins were deemed useless or harmful. Recent large, randomized controlled studies provide irrefutable evidence to the contrary. Adults taking a standard multivitamin for 2 years improved cognition and episodic memory, equivalent to a 2-year reduction in cognitive aging. Multivitamins provide micronutrients missing from our diets—those important for metabolism, neurotransmission, and most importantly, reducing DNA damage and oxidative stress that contribute to aging. Think of it as nutritional insurance for your body and brain. And don't let anyone tell you it's just making "expensive urine."

World-renowned physician Dr. William Li explains how cacao can stimulate stem cells to migrate to various sites of repair and regeneration throughout the body. Cacao is the core ingredient in chocolate and is produced from the beans of cacao tree through a process of fermentation, drying and roasting. Clinical studies have shown that men in their sixties with heart disease, who drank 2 cups of dark hot cocoa per day for a month, doubled their stem cells and significantly improved their circulation. The COSMOS (COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study) is a large-scale clinical trial that recently showed that consuming high flavanol cocoa decreases the risk of cardiovascular death. What are your thoughts on this?

It’s becoming increasingly clear that more than 50% of dementia and late-onset Alzheimer’s cases are preventable. One of the best ways to reduce your risk is to keep your senses strong. In this clip, Dr. Tommy Wood (Tommy Wood MD, PhD) and I dive into how sensory loss—whether it’s vision, hearing, or smell—can increase your risk of dementia. But here’s the good news: Getting treatment for sensory issues like cataracts or hearing loss can reverse that risk. If you’re starting to notice any decline in your senses, don’t wait—address it immediately. Hearing aids, cataract surgery, and other treatments can help maintain crucial brain connections and protect against cognitive decline. Beyond that, train your balance and other sensory systems. Run outside (trail run!), ride a bike, play ball sports, and find other ways to challenge your senses. These activities offer benefits in a way the gym simply cannot. Take action to keep your senses sharp now, and your brain will thank you later.

Joe Rogan ditched his reading glasses completely. He was battling declining eyesight and macular degeneration, needed them nonstop for his phone. Started red light therapy (plus a supplement) and now? It stopped deteriorating and even improved slightly. Gary Brecka said the same thing happened to him. Multiple studies (including UCL research on 670nm deep red light) show morning red/near-infrared exposure can boost mitochondrial function in retinal cells, improving color contrast and vision in aging eyes. FDA even authorized a photobiomodulation device for early dry AMD. Simple, non-invasive tools might actually help push back against age-related vision loss. What’s one thing that’s surprisingly improved your health or performance lately?

This story is about a brilliant, hardworking, and intelligent Nigerian Harvard University graduate. On her graduation day, her mother's fellow market women and close community members showed up in full force to celebrate her achievement and demonstrate their love and support. Many of them traveled all the way from Nigeria, and their presence was a powerful reminder that genuine love, loyalty, and community know no distance. Their joy, pride, and energy filled the occasion and made the celebration even more meaningful. This is yet another reminder that our markets are much more than places of buying and selling. They are communities built on trust, kindness, shared experiences, and friendships that can last a lifetime. The relationships formed there often extend far beyond business, becoming a source of unwavering support through life's most important milestones. May this inspire us all to build meaningful relationships, nurture genuine connections, show kindness freely, and always be willing to support others whenever we can. The seeds of love and generosity we sow today often return to us in the most beautiful and unexpected ways.
