You are what you eat—and that goes for the mind as well as the body. Here’s how to pack your plate with foods full of brain-friendly nutrients to improve focus and memory and ditch brain fog.

Looking for a chill pill that won’t fog your brain? Try L-theanine. It's an amino acid that modulates the levels of neurotransmitters and increases alpha brain waves. This mechanism of action promotes relaxation, sharper focus, and mental clarity. Whether you’re battling stress, restless nights, or simply trying to clear the mental clutter, L-theanine might be the supplement your routine truly needs.
