Become A Brain Warrior and Master Your Brain Health
Every day, we are fighting a war for our health. We are constantly being bombarded by persuasive advertisements, tempted by dangerous habits, and surrounded by “sheep” making it too easy to follow the herd into an unhealthy lifestyle. That is why we have to be Brain Warriors for ourselves, and the ones we love. Our very lives depend on it.
What Exactly is a Brain Warrior?
A Brain Warrior is someone who has M.A.S.T.E.R.Y over the health of their brain, their attitude and their body because they know what’s really at stake. Everything.
M.A.S.T.E.R.Y starts with an M for Mindset
If you don’t know your why you’ll never do your what. Before you can start on the way to becoming a brain warrior, you must first determine exactly why you want to start on this path – what is your short-term goal? Do you have long-term or preventive health goals?
M – Mindset
Fostering willpower and honing your mental concentration is a great place to begin mastering the Brain Warrior’s philosophies. When you begin to consistently think more clearly, nothing can distract you from your goals.
A – Assessment
You can’t change what you don’t know. You have to make an honest, practical self-assessment of your health; no matter how bad things are now, if you aren’t honest with yourself, they will only get worse.
S – Sustenance
To start acting like a warrior, you have to start eating like a warrior. Food is medicine. What you put into your body is fueling how you feel and respond, to external stressors. When you eat nutrient-rich foods, and make smarter meal choices, you will feel the benefits in record time.
T – Training
To be a warrior, you have to train like a warrior. This war for your health is no joke, which is why you have to physically exercise, sweat regularly, get strong, stretch, train, eat right, and prepare every day for the battles ahead. Soon, you will be more prepared for any obstacle you face on your way toward total well-being. (Maintaining a stronger body helps make you feel more equipped, potentially better at handling crisis or health problems that crop up.) And they always do, after all.
E – Essence
What is a warrior made of? All of us have felt pain, weakness or discomfort. With time and education and professional help, real warriors can turn their pain into purpose. And because of those convictions, you will push yourself to be stronger, clearer and more vital every day.
R- Responsibility
It’s not just about you; it’s about generations of you and your family. Your actions on the way to becoming a warrior are not simply for your benefit. Good habits affect your offspring and your family tree over generations. Your health and wellness efforts will rub off on those around you, and have positive effects you could never have predicted.
Y – Years
The Brain Warrior’s Way is not a fad diet or a 2-week program, this is a way of living so that you can learn to start each day better than the last. A warrior is rational and focused. Learning to have M.A.S.T.E.R.Y. over your brain, emotions and also your body will benefit you not just for the next few weeks, but for the remainder of your life. (Remember those long-term goals?!)

After the VA repaired my umbilical hernia just over a year ago, I weighed 45 pounds more than I do now. By logging food, and details of my life, really paying attention, my weight came down. Going on living, walking more freely, even tho I have a way to go, I’m so much happier — not waiting until a certain size or weight to finally be happy. Somewhat depressed and at risk for Alzheimer’s, I take nothing from anybody! I go home and make tea when things out in the world become too much. It seems we have to make our own “Golden Years.” Without Prozac, listening to or making music is so rich! Also literature. I am low income, not budgeted for the supplements, and probably will not get a scan unless the Veterans Administration gets on the band wagon. You really do care! I know because Amy called after I filled out the questionnaire. I got the book at the library and then Amy said you’re sending me a copy. Wow! Thank you! I went to a Christmas dinner where I live, sat with interesting people, and told them about this new version of the book, how brains really can heal after people follow the recommendations — and this scan shows the improvement! The lady took notes! Again, thank you!
Glad to hear you are taking charge of your health and that you found the book helpful. Keep up the good work!
