Your brain runs on energy—and if it’s not getting enough, it simply can’t function at full capacity. In this video, Dr. Barry Sears explains how brain fog, ADHD, and even age-related cognitive decline all stem from one thing: an energy shortage in the brain.
Learn how the Zone Diet is scientifically designed to optimize that energy production by maximizing the conversion of food into ATP—the brain’s primary fuel source.
Dr. Sears breaks down the three core components of the Zone:
- ✔️ Calorie-restricted meals with the ideal protein-to-glycemic load ratio
- ✔️ High-dose omega-3 fatty acids
- ✔️ Polyphenols to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation
He also discusses groundbreaking studies showing how this nutritional strategy can help improve ADHD symptoms in children—especially when used alongside medication.
