So, I love doing Taekwondo  and was once a national champion.

I went off to medical school,  became a physician.

And I developed a chronic disease  for which there is no cure.

In 2000 when I was diagnosed with  multiple sclerosis,

I turned to the best MS center I could find, the Cleveland clinic.

I saw the very best doctors,  received the best care possible.

Still by 2003, my disease had transitioned to secondary progressive MS.

I had one with a motor I could drive around.

but continued to become  more severely disabled.

I was afraid that I was going  to become bedridden.

I turned to reading the latest research  using podmed.gov

I knew that brains afflicted with MS,  overtime, shrank.

I therefore went, every night,  reading the latest medical research

about the diseases in which brains shrank.

These diseases were Huntington's,  Parkison's and Alzheimer's.

I saw that in all three conditions, the mitochondria do not work well,

I found studies in which mice's brains and their mytochondria had been protected.

Using fish oil, creatine and co-enzyme Q.

I translated those mouse sized doses  into human sized ones

and began my first round  of self experimentation.

The rapidity of my declined slowed  and I was very grateful.

Next I discovered the Institute for  Functional Medicine.

And through their continuing  medical education course, Neuroprotection,

a functional medicine approach to common and uncommon neurologic syndromes,

I learned more brain cell biology and what I could do to protect mine.

We have a billion cells in our brains,  with ten trillion connections.

All of that connective wiring must be  insulated with something called myelin.

In order to make healthier vast myelin,  your brain needs a lot of B vitamins.

In particular vitamin B1,  which is thiamine,

It also needs omega-3 fatty acids  and iodine.

Those beautiful golden drops are  the neurotransmitters.

For your brain to make neurotransmitters,

it needs a lot of sulfur and vitamin B6,  which is pyridoxine.

because it is the tiny mitochondria  in each of our cells

that will manage  the energy supply for that cell.

In medical school, I had to memorize  countless reactions

but I never learned which compounds  my cells could manufacture

and which I needed to consume in order for those reactions to happen properly.

I now know that I need a lot of B vitamins,

sulfur and antioxidants  for my mitochondria to thrive.

sulfur and antixidants  to my daily regimen.

that I should get my long list  of nutrients from food,

that science had yet to name and identify

but would be helpful to my brain  and my mitochondria.

But, I didn't know where  they were in the food supply

nor the food science text with whom I consulted.

specifically for my brain  and my mitochondria.

And now, before I tell you what that food plan is,

we are gonna check in to see what Americans are eating.

So, I want you to think back  to the last twenty four hours

add up all the fruits and vegetables that you've eaten.

Now, if you could cover a dinner plate heaped high, raise your hand.

Ok, now if you could cover  two dinner plates, keep your hands up.

Anyone can have eaten three dinner plates?

Look around, see how few hands are up. Ok?

Now, we are gonna check  with another family.

This is from Hungry Planet by Peter Wenzel.

It shows what this American family  will eat in the coming week.

Look closely and you are gonna see  a lot of processed foods in boxes

and this is how most societies eat  as they become more affluent.

And it's likely why as societies  become more affluent,
