Lifestyle Recommendations:
1. Avoid alcohol and any over the counter medications unless prescribed by your doctor.
2. Participate in a regular balanced exercise program that includes wearing a pedometer to ensure that
you collect steps and move more. High intensity short bursts (20-60 seconds) of activity during the
day is recommended to enhance growth hormone release. Also engage in resistance training that
works all major muscle groups (work each group at least 2 times a week).
3. Avoid exposure to chemicals including skincare and hair care products that contain lead, lipstick (contains aluminum), deodorant (aluminum), cleaning products and
artists paints.
4. Do mental exercises such as Brain Gym or crossword puzzles.
Dietary Recommendations:
1. Avoid or limit caffeine, alcohol and other potentially neurotoxic compounds like aspartame and MSG.
2. Avoid pesticides, herbicides and chemicals by eating organic fruits and vegetables.
3. Stabilize blood sugar by eating protein at every meal, 3 times per day. Hypoglycemia, lack of
glucose, can damage brain cells.
4. Drink purified water, at least 8 glasses per day.
5. Eat 5-9 servings of fresh fruits and vegetables daily OR add one heaping tablespoon of PaleoGreens
and PaleoReds to your favorite drink.
