“#1 International Bestseller, The Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle has quickly become an international sensation. The book brings together the latest in neuroscience research to present a new and proven approach to brain health and aging.

“The most important book you’ll read this year.”

The Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle brings together the latest in neuroscience research to present a new and proven view of brain health and aging.

Only recently has it been discovered that the brain produces new brain cells throughout our entire lives, a process called neurogenesis. The rate at which we form new brain cells has a profound influence upon every aspect of our life. When the rate of neurogenesis is low, we see cognitive deficits and memory problems, anxiety and stress, depression, and lowered immunity. Life is difficult.

With high rates of neurogenesis we see the opposite: enhanced cognitive abilities, rapid learning, emotional resilience, protection from anxiety, stress and depression, heightened immunity and robust health. We flourish. Life is wonderful.

Given the neurotoxic norms of society, it’s almost universally true that your brain is working far below its capacity. It is deteriorating much faster than it needs to. What good is living longer if your brain can’t go the distance?

Recent discoveries in the emerging field of neurogenesis reveal the secrets to radically improve your brain’s health. You can operate at a higher level than you ever dreamed possible – at any age!

"A revolutionary paradigm shift in brain health and brain aging."

This scientifically validated, 4-point program of diet and lifestyle will: • Improve your memory and brain power • Inoculate you against stress and depression • Prevent or delay cognitive decline, dementia and Alzheimer’s• Enrich your relationships and sex life • Help you connect with your loving center of peace

This book presents the latest neuroscience discoveries to increase brain power, enhance memory, increase brain fitness by seeing what kinds of brain exercises actually work, and build a better brain. It contains dietary recommendations for brain food, brain vitamins, brain supplements, memory vitamins and memory supplements.

“This is the best book to give anyone over 50!”

This book also spells out the symptoms of dementia, the stages of dementia, signs of cognitive decline and stages of Alzheimer’s. The plan presented in The Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle will help to ward off cognitive decline and avoid dementia stages. This lifestyle is the only lifestyle for which there is scientific evidence supporting it, based on a late 2014 research study by the Buck Foundation.

The Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle is aimed at improving how your brain functions. Your rate of neurogenesis may be the most important factor in your brain health. And increasing your rate of neurogenesis by three to five times can result in powerfully improved memory, learning, cognitive enhancement, as well as improved immunity and protection against stress and depression.

You can live and perform well beyond where you are now.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“This is the most important book you’ll read this year, about the biggest discovery in neuroscience of the last century. With meticulous research Dr. Cortright has rescued new, paradigm-shifting findings about neurogenesis from being lost in neuroscience journals and brought them to the wider public to show the astounding number of ways all of us can expand our cognitive abilities and overall brain function.” -- Frank Echenhofer, Ph.D., Neuroscientist, Professor, CIIS

“This is the best book to give anyone over 50! Dr. Cortright’s engaging and well researched book on how to generate new brain cells as we age offers practical information, inspiration, and hope for aging brilliantly.” -- Cathy Coleman, Ph.D., Conscious Aging Trainer, Institute of Noetic Sciences

“For years, I’ve been waiting for the book that would show how the whole brain can be enhanced, not just one of its functions, not one of its certain skills, but the brain on the whole. And here it is. Written in a clear, convincing and energetic manner by seasoned researcher, clinician and life-long educator Brant Cortright, Ph.D., the groundbreaking Neurogenesis Diet and Lifestyle presents an indispensable set of scientifically grounded skills and strategies which lead to optimal brain health at any age and stage in life.

In his truly holistic, original concept of “neurohealthy life”, Prof. Cortright teaches us how different modalities of life engage the central biological mechanism of neurogenesis, which underlies subjective well-being. This book is the first of its kind to show the reciprocity of health between the organ inside our heads and the rest of the body and mind. As a guide to retraining, attuning, enhancing and vivifying the brain and a manifesto of holistic health, this book will be of interest not only to the general public, psychologists, psychiatrists, and neuroscientists, but to everybody interested in the practical aspects of the mind-body problem.” -- Olga Louchakova-Schwartz, M.D., Ph.D., Neuroscientist, Professor and Director of Research, Sofia University

He is not 100 percent accurate. For example, cognitive games have been clinically proven to work, but he does not appear to agree with that data. He also does not mention Magnesium L-threonate, Taurine or Lithium (trace amounts). He seems out of date on some issues, but overall the book is helpful. I'd check with Life Extension to get the up-to-date information on supplements for cognitive issues.

An excellent summary of the state of neurogenic research

Reviewed in the United States on September 10, 2017

Verified Purchase

Brant Cortright's book is an excellent summary of published neurogenic science. He has assembled the results of most of the clinical trials and done a wonderful job for those of us that want a fast updating on the state of the science. I discovered Brant Cortright when a friend of mine send me a link to his Youtube talk at Google.

It has a good summary of healthy foods, but fails to connect the dots regarding lifestyle and how to integrate diet into a more comprehensive picture for maximal neurogenesis. The pieces are there, like a jigsaw puzzle, but you'll have to put them together to reinvent your lifestyle for yourself.

Just one item. The Finnish study on neurogenesis that showed cardio raised neurogenesis by up to 500% and resistance exercise made no difference is wonderful and yet fatally flawed. The study itself is very helpful in pointing the way towards further research. I contacted the authors and never heard back, so it looks like I'll have to design further experiments myself. Hint: these results are likely to be the result of fat-burning (or being in ketosis).

Game-Changer!

Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is a game-changer for the fields of psychology and psychiatry. Debunks the myth of SSRI's and NDRIs as an effective treatment for depression, with new science that reveals it is the rate of neurogenesis that is the central mechanism determining depression. What we believe to be "normal aging" is actually an artifact of a neurotoxic lifestyle and diet that slows the brain down much more and much faster than necessary. Hands down one of the most ground-breaking books on the latest neuroscience developments as they relate to aging and emotional disorders. Presented in an easily digestible style as well; science communication at its best! In terms of practical applications to increase the rate of neurogenesis in ourselves, the recommendations are a bit more limited, but that is simply because the science to validate this aspect is still evolving.

The author illustrates vividly the importance of appropriate supplementation and body, mind, spirit/meditation and heart practices for brain heath across your entire lifetime. Imagine being even sharper in your 70's than your 30's. Avoid depression, stave off Alzheimer's/dymentia, and maintain a sharp, joyful, clear mind through practical personal maintenance, balance and diet. Highly recommended.

It is written for a non-medical person with an easy to read language

Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

A must read for every health care practitioner. I felt that the recommendations were spot on, in line with the latest functional medicine researches out of the Cleveland Clinic and the integrated psychiatry guidelines. Being a mental health provider, I've seen first hand what heavily marketed psychotropic meds can do to patients with unwanted side effects and overall dwindling health with a long term tx. This is not an eye opener for me and the science behind the recommendations is rather basic but makes a compelling argument nevertheless. It is written for a non-medical person with an easy to read language, without medical jargons. I would definitely have it in my office for my patients.

Other than the inclusion of information on hespirdin methyl chalcone, the information as to nuerogenisis is very Basic, and could be found for free--if one does not find aversion to the requisite minimal amount of research which may be necessary.
Disappointment is a word here that is expressed with much respect ; although it is less than deserving of such generosity.

Amazing publication that will change your lifestyle by neorugenesis. This will help you to improve your mindset and will help you to achieve a higher cognitive function, a better memory, a better immunity and protection from stress and anxiety.The first chapter will teach you about the history of the Neorugenesis according to western studies.

In the following chapters will guide you in an appropiate aproach to stressful situations and a diet that will help you to improve your neurogenesis and your health. Also, the effects of a healthy mind in your body.

This book is a very complete guide of Neurogenesis and I recommended it!

Excellent Summary of Current Scientific Knowledge on Living Your Best Life

Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book does an excellent job of summarizing the current scientific knowledge about how we can sharpen our minds and maintain a healthy brain. Everyone could benefit from reading this book. Think about it: every aspect of your life from the way you feel to your job/academic performance to your relationships will be affected, positively or negatively, by the state of your brain. Much of the scientific knowledge Dr. Cortright shares is not widely known (i.e. Including the spice turmeric, blueberries, green tea, a healthy Omega 3/6 ratio, etc. for a super brain-healthy, neurogenic diet). And while some of his advice is well known (that exercise is a necessary health booster), Cortright gives us a new reason to do it: it grows new brain cells! Cortright recommends a low-sugar, healthy diet, and unlearning poor eating habits requires a bit more information than the book offers. Two healthy cook books I recommend are Eat to Live Quick and Easy Cookbook: 131 Delicious Recipes for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss, Reversing Disease, and Lifelong Health and The Fat Chance Cookbook: More Than 100 Recipes Ready in Under 30 Minutes to Help You Lose the Sugar and the Weight . I have written a fuller review on my blog (I put a link to it in the comments) that has some useful tips and lifestyle advice.

Too wordy. Science text book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

Not much use it’s a heavy text book and never seems to actually get around to the point. I read a lot but this was a waste of money. Don’t bother if you just want to know the diet , it seems to be just a few fruits and veg, some meat and fish. Very vague about the real items to eat but loads about science. You have been warned!

solid introduction to neurogenesis

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 11, 2016

Verified Purchase

Good read. I have begun to implement some of the things recommended and have noticed improvements. It is in need of editing however, as there are a few typos and grammatical errors in the book. Other than that, I would consider this a solid introduction to neurogenesis and a great addition to the bookshelf of any brain hacker.
