Re: Brain HQ
Just curious when you do it? Circular--I usually do it in the evening. Probably not when my brain is at its sharpest, but it works best for me. I learned that you can't do it after taking the evening magnesium and progesterone doses though! Not good to be nodding off when birds and butterflies and ...

Re: Brain HQ
I've been practicing Brain HQ for 20 minutes a day, 5-6 days a week since May, and my percentile has risen 11 points, but not sure what that translates into in real life. I have noticed that I have gotten a lot better at a couple of the 5 "exercises" that I have been rotating through. To b...

Re: Effect of Canola Oil on Brain
In this study they compared mice fed regular chow to mice fed regular chow plus 50 mg/kg canola oil (the equivalent of about 3.5 g oil for a 150lb person). The source of the canola oil added to the diet was “Mazola®” canola oil, which contains 21% total fat (1gr saturated fatty acids, 4gr polyunsat...

Trying to compile a list of recipes I can tweak that will be low SaFa and low carb. Anyone want to collaborate? Hi EpigeneticsGuy--We are collecting recipes in this ...

Re: 23andme and Ancestry - differing reports
Hi Denise, Welcome to the community! I agree with ru442--if the parent does not carry a copy of ApoE4, their biological offspring cannot inherit an ApoE4 allele from that parent. (Of course, there are two parents involved in creating offspring. So in order for the child to have no chance of carrying...
