Ingredients to boost energy
Food plays an important role in aligning your brain and body, and when you’re feeling tired and without motivation eating to improve your energy levels can be the kickstart you need. While we know that food provides essential energy, making choices to eat specific nutrients can give you the energy boost you crave. Incorporate ingredients with vitamin B complex, vitamin C, protein, healthy fats, fiber, iron, manganese and potassium into your daily diet to encourage more energy and less tired, sluggish feelings.
Dark Leafy Greens
These nutrient-dense greens boast many health benefits, including energy production. Filled with B vitamins plus chlorophyll, they are low in calories, high in raw energy and can help fight illness. Look for Kale and Spinach.
Maca
Clinical trials have shown that maca may positively impact energy and stamina. Maintaining positive energy levels can also help improve mood, and some early studies have even found that maca may reduce symptoms of depression.

Ingredients to boost happiness
Eating good for you food can have a positive impact on your mood – and we could all use a little more happiness in our lives. Certain foods you eat can boost serotonin and dopamine in your brain, increasing your feelings of an uplifted mood. If you’re looking for a smile-booster, try incorporating ingredients that contain B vitamins, Omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, healthy fats, probiotics and adaptogens into your daily diet. Our nutrient-dense menu gives you plenty of options to eat for increased positivity.
Fatty Fish
Fatty fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids (healthy fats), which are essentially food for your brain cells. Since our bodies can’t make fatty acids we have to get these mental-health boosters from our diet or supplements. Look for Salmon and Albacore Tuna.
Turmeric
Curcumin, turmeric’s active ingredient, has been shownto cross the blood-brain barrier, meaning it can directly enter the brain and benefit the cells at the source. Turmeric also boosts serotonin and dopamine, which are essential for an upbeat mood.
Garbanzo Beans
Also known as chickpeas, these small but mighty beans contain 71% of our daily folate, a B vitamin that can help lower stress hormones. Plus, they’re filled with tryptophan, which the body turns into serotonin; the key to happy brain cells.

“The foods and herbs we choose to eat have a direct impact on long-term health and creating a life in balance.”
Ingredients to boost balance
The feeling of stress is familiar – from to do lists that never end to juggling responsibilities with barely enough time to think about what you’re eating. Stress has many negative impacts on mental and physical wellness, so promoting calm feelings is an important part of how a well-balanced daily diet can help reduce stress and increase wellness. Look for ingredients that contain melatonin, adaptogens, tryptophan, vitamin C, magnesium and Omega-3s in both alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) and fatty fish to provide improved feelings of internal peace and quiet.
Avocado
Avocados are an anti-anxiety superfood. They’re a great source of magnesium, and are rich in folate and stress-relieving B vitamins. Unlike most fruits, they’re high in monounsaturated fat that helps you feel calm while your brain cells are still moving.
Ashwagandha
One of the most well-known ashwagandha benefits is its ability to work as a natural remedy for anxiety. In a 2009 study published in PLOS One, ashwagandha proved to be comparable to common pharmaceutical drugs lorazepam and imipramine but without the adverse effects.
Cacao
Superfood cacao is excellent at helping induce relaxation thanks to being one of nature’s most potent sources of magnesium. Magnesium is a powerful mineral that’s instrumental in sleep, and is a natural relaxant that helps deactivate adrenaline.

“The foods you eat play a role in keeping your brain healthy, and can improve mental tasks such as focus and concentration.”
Ingredients to focus on
Banish brain fog and find your focus. When you need to perform with peak mental clarity, whether it’s in physical competition or in the office, what you eat can drive your ability to focus. Incorporate foods that help you stay switched on so you can perform at your optimum level with boosted clarity. Ingredients you’ll want to try will be packed with monounsaturated fat, Omega-3s including ALAs, Vitamin E, choline, sulforaphane, potassium and functional mushrooms like Lion’s Mane. Blood sugar stabilizing foods can help reduce cravings and keep you focused on what’s important.
Acai
Inflammation and oxidative stress are two major underlying causes of cognitive problems, including loss of memory, dementia and other age-
related mental disorders. Through a process of suppressing biological activity that degrades cellular integrity, acai pulp fractions seem to have protective effects over brain cells, which could have implications for improved cognitive and motor functions.
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Eating a diet rich in EVOO is a great way to feel more satisfied after meals, prevent sugar cravings and overeating, along with brain fog. New research suggests EVOO can protect the brain against memory loss and Alzheimer’s disease as well.
Black Garlic
Much like regular garlic, black garlic can have a powerful effect on brain health. Because it’s rich in antioxidants, it can alleviate inflammation and may aid in the prevention of cognitive conditions like dementia, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
A recent animal model published in Nutrients showed that aged garlic extract improved memory in cognitively impaired rats, plus helped decrease inflammation in the brain as well.
