Diet is huge. Eliminating inflammatory foods like sugar, refined carbs, and foods that you may be sensitive to can have a very large impact on your recovery. In my opinion, you can't go wrong by eating 'mostly' real foods... types that aren't packaged or processed. Following an 80/20 protocol is a smart move that allows flexibility.

Here is a list of "Brain Foods" published here: Kwik Brain 5: My 1 Favorite Brain Foods | Jim Kwik

1. Avocado.
Helps keep healthy blood flow
Good source of monounsaturated fats

2. Blueberries (or ‘brainberries!).
Protects your brain from oxidative stress
Reduces the effect of brain-aging conditions
Rats who ate blueberries had improved overall learning capacity and motor skills and were mentally younger

3. Broccoli.
Remarkable source of fiber
Rich in vitamin K, which is known to enhance cognitive function and improve brainpower

4. Coconut Oil.
Medium chain fatty acid, which ignites your body’s fat-burning furnaces to help create ketones

5. Eggs.
Full of memory-improving choline, Omega-3s, and vitamin E

6. Green Leafy Vegetables.
Spinach, kale, collard greens
Good sources of vitamin E and folate

7. Salmon.
Wild deepwater fish rich in Omega-3s and DHA
Sardines are also good.

8. Turmeric.
Reduces inflammation and helps boost antioxidant levels
Keeps your immune system healthy
Improves brain’s oxygen intake to you alert and able to process information
Recipe: I start my days with turmeric tea. I combine turmeric, pepper (to absorb the turmeric better), honey, coconut oil, and hot water.

9. Walnuts.
High levels of antioxidants and zinc
Rich in vitamin E, which protects your neurons
Wards off brain-aging conditions
Lots of magnesium, which improves your mood and thus your brain

10. Dark Chocolate.
Improves your focus, concentration, and mood
Stimulates endorphins
Generally, the darker the chocolate, the purer and better for your brain
