We''ve been doing research and clinical studies on this crucial topic for decades, yet we have never published our findings for a general audience before.

Following our lectures and Julia''s TEDx Talk, we get asked questions all the time about our findings and why nutrients are so important for our brains. People want to know more. They''re desperate for answers. This is our solution.''
