Nutrients for Better Mental Performance
Google Tech Talk December 2, 2009 ABSTRACT Presented by Steven Wm. Fowkes. The talk will answer questions like: 1. Which nutrients promote optimal brain function? 2. What nutrients are commonly deficient enough to impair mental performance? 3. How can you get a better nights sleep without Ambien? 4. What nutrients counteract aspects of aging? 5. Is there an alternative to serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SRI) antidepressants? 6. What modern nutrition myths lead us to consume products that sabotage healthy brain function? 7. What tests can you get from your doctor? 8. What nutrients affect appetite, alertness, and tension? 9. What nutrient combo will prevent hangovers 90% of the time? About Steven Wm. Fowkes Steven Wm. Fowkes is the Director of the Cognitive Enhancement Research Institute and a co-author of the book Smart Drugs II. He has appeared on Larry King Live and in two anti-aging documentaries. Steve will explain how different nutritions can help people of all ages treat various physical and mental conditions, spanning from genetic disorders such as Down syndrome, to adolescent behavior problems and on to senility and Alzheimer’s disease in the elderly. He will also speak about using nutrients to address memory problems as well as verbal and multi-tasking challenges that the testosterone-poised homo sapiens (ie, men) are commonly known for. In the Q&A feel free to ask him how to use nutrients to improve ones sense of humor.

@bobstevefrank123 Thanks for the comment you made. Could you point me in the direction of a serious talk about nootropics (etc) if possible, thanks
@Goldernie
Thanks very much for that, that looks very interesting I must look in to this further.
@boundlesslife12 It’s used to test if your time perception changes.
awesome lecture!
Fascinating lecture, you mentioned using a metronome to test for allergies.
I understand the part about waiting for two weeks and then trying milk, I understand that the allergic reactions will show up better.
But how does the metronome help does this show up changes in pulse rate? I never heard this before. Is it connected to the body?
@ogrish84 Interesting trash though, nonetheless, eh? Incidentally I found citations on the Cognitive Enhancement Research Institute (CERI) website, alas this comment box appears not to support posting hyperlinks!
@bobstevefrank123 I’ve some sympathy with you there! Fowkes does need to provide citations, fortunately he does on the CERI website, though perhaps Fowkes needs to flag this page more often so researchers can look at it on CERI dot com On the “Reversing Alz.” title Fowkes should make it clearer he’s talking about reversing the collapse of the brains neuroprotective stages, not the damage, which tends to be permanent.
What a terrible lecture. If you wanted a serious talk on nootropics, you should look elsewhere. He has a cursory understanding of most processes in the body. He repeatedly makes unsourced, questionable (e.g., ignoring amyloid buildup in Alzheimer’s and claiming he knows how to “reverse Alzheimer’s”), borderline folk wisdom, and downright pseudoscience (e.g., at 0:12:14, his slide suggests that “vaccinations cause autism,” which was never a rigorously tested hypothesis and ended up being a hoax).
Capitalism is the Monetary bondage and serfdom of humanity in a politically manipulated , armed , tyrannical MARKET MECHANISM of alienation,exploitation and suffering. The Business as usual is the negation of our common humanity in cooperation and harmony to take care of our real needs and well being. Capitalism dominated by Corporate or STATE criminals is the abstract process of Capital accumulation and concentration. A DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY FOR A MONEYLESS,CLASSLESS,STATELESS COMMUNITIES
Hello there! Have you thought about intellectus 424 diet (google it)? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my friend lost crazy amounts of weight with it.
RAVE!
Dear , @ogrish84 , Look here Mr. “Smells Like B.S.” ,What an irony it is that you respond with such a subjective opinionated commentary. Critical thinking?At least post us a link with an intelligent rebuttal?You haven’t responded with any information falsifying ANY the claims! I’m here to learn! I find this subject fascinating.I will fact check it ! P.H.D’s can sell snake oil too..Where is your PHD guy?I find much of this information to resonate with my limited first hand experience.
herbs? herbs that work are called medicine
Lol read the comments before watching. Decided NOT to watch….
He clearly doesn’t know it all. He would like to position him self as an authoritativeness figure but he is not. What I can get over is, why so many of you take an defensive position to protect the current medical institutions, medical fraternities, that a lower down the food chain from Pharmaceutics companies that lobby and effectively control government medical regulator that dont do a good job of protecting you.
He admits he doesn’t have a P.H.D and he’s just making it up as he goes along. This guy is a con-artist. Don’t bother wasting your time watching this trash.
Read a book called “Bad Science” by Ben Goldacre.It might help some of you develop better critical thinking skills because by the looks of these comments, most of you are lacking in common sense.
How can people fall for this garbage. Google, what were you thinking when you invited this guy to talk to your people?
A lot of this smells like bullshit.
Totally compelling. Dead tired, but I still couldn’t switch this video off . Such valuable information. So gladI found it. Thank you.
Two things: He has a very unfit appearance for someone purporting to know what fitness entails. Additionally, while he seems to have a common sense grasp of a good diet, much of his research is presented as anecdotal and conjecture. I know many very fit mentally healthy people who eat bread and drink milk. Adaptation is something he skims in the end, but I feel that is the rule.
His point was not to give you the research, it was to explain what he has learned. As an organic chemist, you can trust him to understand good verses bad information, and to understand the interworkings of food constituents. He will likely leave references in his book, however.
Quite brilliant.
@Userlamez Why do you ask? You know and I know : the answer is Yes.
are there any nutritional benefits of marijuana? i.e. mental state etc..?
