Thanks to a groundbreaking concept called neuroplasticity, we now know the brain isn’t fixed—it changes in response to inputs, including what weeat. While neurons don’t regenerate in the same way as skin or muscle cells, they adapt, rewire, and repair in response to signals from nutrients, hormones, and neurotransmitters.

Recent studies suggest that nutritional signals—especially thosethat influence inflammation, oxidative stress, mitochondrial function, and thegut microbiome—can impact the brain’s ability to recover after trauma ordegeneration (1).
