Some of you with cognitive symptoms #brainfog have genetic differences that mean you cannot produce enough choline. 🧵(1/10)

If you have these genetics, to get enough choline, you would have to eat 8 eggs a day. And while some of you really love eggs and are into that, that won't work for many of us. So why is having these genetic differences a problem? (2/10)

Because choline is a precursor to acetylcholine. This is a major neurotransmitter that helps run the "rest and digest" part of your nervous system. It's used for sleep. (3/10)

It's used to keep your gut working properly and reduce inflammation there. And it plays a SUPER IMPORTANT role in a properly functioning brain. (4/10)

You should know that ADHD has been proposed to be an acetylcholine insufficiency. So how many of you are sporting an ADHD diagnosis that just has one of these genetic SNPs that needs to be corrected? I don't know. But I suspect it is a higher percentage than we think. (5/10)

Would you like a good memory and the ability to learn things? You better mind your acetylcholine levels. And you best learn how to do a nutrigenomics evaluation (it's actually pretty easy) to see if you need to supplement this important nutrient. (6/10)

Low acetylcholine, due to insufficient choline levels, can all by itself lead to brain fog and memory problems, less restful sleep with poor REM cycles, increased inflammation, and weak muscles. It will definitely get in the way of your weight-training goals! (7/10)

This is why my online Brain Fog Recovery Program includes learning how to do a nutrigenomics analysis and learn how to supplement choline. (8/10)

Because sometimes there are residual brain fog symptoms still hanging out after a ketogenic diet. A comprehensive approach is best. (9/10)

As always, I am very into you getting to know all the ways you can feel better. And this is definitely one of them! (10/10)
