Will Nitze: “Formulating and Democratizing Brain Fuel to Beat the Afternoon Slump” | Talks at Google

Will Nitze studied neuroscience at Harvard University and became fascinated with the human brain from a physiological standpoint. He later found that most people start having difficulty focusing at work around 2:30pm, whether that be brain fog or headaches. He could not find any grab-and-go food items that were geared towards brain function and that was his ‘aha’ moment that drove him to dive into the health bar industry and in 2017 IQ Bar was born! Will came in to Google to discuss his research on the Brain-Food Connection and why we chronically eat foods that harm our most valuable organ. For instance, when we think of food, we don’t think of the brain – we think of variables like emotion, cost, and bodily health. Conversely, when we think of modulators of acuity, we think of things like caffeine, pills, and sleep – not food. The reality, of course, is the food has a massive impact on brain function. These misaligned associations cause us to form misconceptions like 1) It’s “normal” to feel exhausted at 2:30pm 2) Cognitive impairment is just part of aging and 3) We’re genetically predisposed to a cognitive fate.

Set realistic goals: Decide what you want to achieve academically, professionally and personally, and write down the steps you need to realize your goals. Aim high, but be realistic and don’t over-schedule. You’ll enjoy a tremendous sense of accomplishment and self-worth as you progress toward your goal. Wellness Coaching, free to U-M students, can help you develop goals and stay on track. 8. Break up the monotony: Although our routines make us more efficient and enhance our feelings of security and safety, a little change of pace can perk up a tedious schedule. Alter your jogging route, plan a road-trip, take a walk in a different park, hang some new pictures or try a new restaurant. See Rejuvenation 101 for more ideas. 9. Avoid alcohol and other drugs: Keep alcohol use to a minimum and avoid other drugs. Sometimes people use alcohol and other drugs to “self-medicate” but in reality, alcohol and other drugs only aggravate problems. For more information, see Alcohol and Other Drugs. 10. Get help when you need it: Seeking help is a sign of strength — not a weakness. And it is important to remember that treatment is effective. People who get appropriate care can recover from mental illness and addiction and lead full, rewarding lives.

ADHD Does not Exist

In this groundbreaking and controversial book, behavioral neurologist Dr. Richard Saul draws on five decades of experience treating thousands of patients labeled with Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder—one of the fastest growing and widely diagnosed conditions today—to argue that ADHD is actually a cluster of symptoms stemming from over 20 other conditions and disorders. According to recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an estimated 6.4 million children between the ages of four and seventeen have been diagnosed with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. While many skeptics believe that ADHD is a fabrication of drug companies and the medical establishment, the symptoms of attention-deficit and hyperactivity are all too real for millions of individuals who often cannot function without treatment. If ADHD does not exist, then what is causing these debilitating symptoms? Over the course of half a century, physician Richard Saul has worked with thousands of patients demonstrating symptoms of ADHD. Based on his experience, he offers a shocking conclusion: ADHD is not a condition on its own, but rather a symptom complex caused by over twenty separate conditions—from poor eyesight and giftedness to bipolar disorder and depression—each requiring its own specific treatment. Drawing on in-depth scientific research and real-life stories from his numerous patients, ADHD Does not Exist synthesizes Dr. Saul’s findings, and offers and clear advice for everyone seeking answers.

Fine (Not Fine)

What happens when a new mother says she is “fine,” but really she is not? Postnatal depression, an illness which affects four in ten new mothers, is still stigmatized, and devastatingly misunderstood. In this book, author Bridget Hargreave charts her own experiences of depression following the birth of her sons, and she records the histories of a collection of mothers with a diverse range of perinatal mental health problems, such as anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and antenatal depression. The book includes the stories of: a mother who was hospitalized with severe depression, a mother who was so anxious she was physically sick every day, a mother whose birth trauma means just hearing the word “midwife” leaves her in a cold sweat, and a mother who bravely and honestly outlines the plans she made to end her own life. Brought together by a series of interviews with mental health professionals and charities campaigning for changes in perinatal care, Fine (Not Fine) tells the story of a hidden epidemic, and the remarkable people fighting it.

Evaluating the Pressor Effects of Drugs & Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring Studies

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is announcing a public workshop entitled “Evaluating the Pressor Effects of Drugs & Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring Studies.” This public workshop is convened by the Duke-Robert J. Margolis, MD, Center for Health Policy at Duke University and supported by a cooperative agreement with FDA. The purpose of this public workshop is to bring the stakeholder community together to discuss the premarketing assessment of a drug’s effect on blood pressure. Elevated blood pressure is known to increase the risk of stroke, heart attack, and death. The effect of a drug on blood pressure may therefore be an important consideration in benefit-risk assessment.
