We all know we should eat more greens, but did you know that the plants you grow and how you prepare them can be your secret weapon for boosting brain health?
Today, I interview John Kohler, a pioneer in raw food, home gardening, and plant-based nutrition, to explore how growing and eating nutrient-dense plants can protect your brain and even help prevent Alzheimer’s.
John shares his journey of overcoming viral spinal meningitis in his 20s and turning adversity into a lifelong mission of health, wellness, and educating millions through his videos and podcasts. He takes us deep into the garden, sharing how growing your own greens from sprouts to microgreens can deliver far more nutrients than store-bought produce, and walks through his methods for maximizing plant nutrition.
Whether you have a backyard or just a windowsill, John explains actionable steps to make plants a daily brain-boosting habit. If you’re ready to take control of your brain health and learn how to harness the benefits of plants for cognitive vitality, this episode is packed with insights you can start applying today.
