The brain, nutrition and breakfast: almost too basic. Herein resides a solution.
Protein…are you kidding me? I don’t eat breakfast, period!
Everyday I have this response from someone, actually from many someones. Amazing how little time we all have in the morning, from kids to adults. Lemme see…do they serve breakfast on the school bus? Could I grab a pop-tart on the way out the door? Is it OK if I eat a little later…about noon? I always eat supper well! Breakfast habits are terrible, and the problem is completely pandemic.

Using the right neurotransmitter building blocks [e.g. by adding protein] is like throwing real wood on the fire. More about the Power Breakfast in a later post. See this previous post.
- Correct Chronic Bowel and GI problems: If your GI tract from your stomach down is not working properly, little nutrients will come across for your use. Your bowel is the size of a singles tennis court. If your court has chunks of asphalt or weeds growing in the clay, good tennis will turn to bad. Balls will bounce out of bounds.
