BDNF

BDNF supports new neuron growth and strengthens neural connections. Adequate BDNF levels both prevent depression and support cognitive function. A 3-week ketogenic diet increases BDNF levels by 47%. BDNF protects neurons from degeneration. BDNF enhances learning capacity and working memory. A 16:8 intermittent fasting pattern significantly increases BDNF through metabolic adaptations. By Day 3, the brain runs almost exclusively on ketones, producing peak mental performance. BDNF supports neurogenesis, strengthens synaptic connections between neurons, and has been shown to slow brain aging. BDNF can increase by 40–400% at the 72-hour fasting mark depending on individual baseline and prior fasting experience. BDNF supports neurogenesis, strengthens synaptic connections, and has been shown to slow brain aging. By Day 3 of fasting the brain runs almost exclusively on ketones and mental performance including focus, recall, and creative output reaches a peak. BDNF is linked with the possibility of generating new brain cells under the right conditions. BDNF can increase by 40–400% at the 72-hour fasting mark. With adequate HGH and BDNF combined with appropriate nutrition, new brain tissu…
