Unlimited Lifetime Access
This course and all its materials are yours for life when you enroll. No catches, caveats, or asterisks… come back anytime!
You are what you eat. Therefore, Your brain is what you feed it.
Get the tools you need to nourish your mind.
You really are what you eat, simply because food is where your body gets what it needs to maintain itself.
This is just as true for your brain as it is for any other part of your body:
It simply can’t function at its best unless it has everything it needs, and it won’t have everything it needs unless you provide it.
All of this probably seems like common sense. You probably already believe that you can—rather literally—eat your way to a healthier brain and sharper mind.
But let’s face it: nothing can keep someone stuck like confusion, and food is extremely confusing nowadays.
It’s easy to feel lost in the food space, even if we remember not to believe everything we hear (and that’s a big “if”). The human mind is wired to keep track of potential threats too, so misinformation can mess with anyone.
Even if you do manage to get your nutritional bearings, a healthy diet often seems like such a joyless enterprise. A lot of people think that the most nutritious diets are bland (if not downright unpleasant) and that sticking to them requires you to see eating as a mechanical chore. Food is no longer allowed to seem like a vivacious or even enjoyable part of life if you want to “eat healthy” — right?
So many people accept this (terribly sad and untrue) thought because they think that’s the “price of admission.” No wonder people are notoriously bad at sticking to healthy diets!
We want to change all of that. Starting right here.
By the end of this course, you won’t just be convinced of what’s possible for your healthy diet; you’ll also be equipped to go get it, and you will have already started. We will set you on a path where brain-healthy eating becomes your norm NOT because you force yourself to do it, but because you truly enjoy it.
Let us emphasize that this is NOT a diet plan or anything close to one. It is a nutrition and cooking class focused on brain health.
We’re not here to tell you what you can and can’t eat; we’re here to tell you what’s healthy for the brain (and body!) and teach you how to get it consistently, no matter your exact dietary preferences.
44%
Affected by Vitamin Deficiencies
In the United States, 41% of the elderly suffer from Vitamin D deficiency and 41% of people overall suffer from Vitamin B12 deficiency—just two of many examples of how we’re not giving our brains everything they need.
50%
Reduction in Risk of Alzheimer’s
By eating the right kinds of foods and sticking to a healthy dietary pattern, the average person can cut their risk of developing Alzheimer’s in half (and that’s just from diet!).
33%
Lower Risk of Cognitive Impairment
But for a moment, never mind Alzheimer’s in particular—because when you adopt a brain-healthy diet, you also slash your risk of developing cognitive impairments of any kind. Eat to stay sharp!
10%
Margin of Error (Cheat Meals!)
If you can eat well 90% of the time, that’s more than enough. Translation: you can “cheat” with two meals a week, every week, and still do your brain all the good you want to do for it!
What You’ll Learn in This Comprehensive Training
- How to distinguish between trustworthy science-backed nutrition info and the rest of the internet’s noise
- The foods (categories and specific items) that are best for the brain and why, plus how much you need for optimal health
- Options for incorporating more of these brain-healthy foods into your diet in easy, enjoyable, and (eventually) habitual ways
- Scientific, brain-focused bottom lines on controversial food items such as gluten, fish oil, and choline
- How to set yourself up for long-term dietary success—both the mental preparations and the hard-nosed planning
- The key kitchen tools for brain-healthy cooking (at least in this class) and why we recommend them
- Instruction and demonstration of core kitchen skills, including and especially knife skills (storing, sharpening, chopping and slicing techniques, etc.)
- Focused individual lessons on some of the best ingredients for brain health (such as berries, whole grains, and onions) and how to prepare them
- Lessons on how to make some of your own vegan substitute ingredients, like tempeh bacon
The Right Mindset
As Ayesha explains in the very first lesson, one of our key goals is for you to feel empowered as a result of what you learn here. Throughout the course, we coach you and try to frame the information in the most helpful, useful ways possible.
Brain-Healthy Foods
What nutrients does the brain need to thrive, and what options do we have for getting them? All of the specifics are here, and rest assured: there’s no shortage of “right ways” to nourish your brain to its best! All dietary preferences are welcome.
Nutrition Myths, Busted
Some food items are controversial (or at least misunderstood), so we’ll set the record straight with the truths behind foods like gluten, fish oil, and choline. Never mind what the internet’s peanut gallery says… what are the facts and science saying?
Planning and Preparation
Simply put, how do you set yourself up for success here? How should you approach certain dietary changes mentally? What kinds of practical preparations should you have ready? How do you even know what a “good” goal is? We have the answers.
Key Kitchen Tools & Techniques
We’ll take a look at each of the tools (we think) you need in your kitchen and why. Then we’ll teach you the skills you need to be a great chef in your own kitchen, starting with fundamentals like knife skills (both the knife maintenance and the actual cutting).
Single-Ingredient Lessons
Want to learn the lore of leafy greens, capture the key concepts of curry, or perhaps master the magic of mirepoix? The practical portion of the class includes a dozen-or-so lessons on the finer points of specific ingredients and how to make the most of them.
A Comprehensive Toolkit, Based on The Latest Research and Evidence-Based Practices.
In an era where cognitive health is of paramount importance and misinformation is at its highest, the Better Brain Nutrition & Cooking Course stands as a beacon, unique in its commitment to science-backed methods—and it will equip you to enhance your memory, concentration, and overall mental agility while fortifying your mind against the ravages of time (and enjoying some super-delicious food while you’re at it).
Together, we serve as the co-directors of The Brain Health and Alzheimer’s Prevention Program. We’ve worked with devastatingly disease-ridden populations; we’ve also worked with some of the healthiest people in the world, such as the Loma Linda Seventh-Day Adventist population which is a Blue Zone community (defined by living measurably longer and healthier lives due to optimal nutrition, exercise, stress management, and social support).
In short: we are scientists who rely on the evidence, the whole evidence, and nothing but the evidence.
You won’t find false promises or outlandish claims here. We will never tell you that ABC or XYZ will fix all your problems, and we refuse to make any sort of health recommendation without strong evidence behind it.
This course is a culmination of decades of work—years of research followed by years of clinical experience applying that research and its evidence-based methods. We know that our teachings will optimize, protect, and restore brain function because those are the results we’ve been getting for a long time now.
The Better Brain Nutrition & Cooking Course is kept updated according to evolving research in brain health, and it’s regularly expanded with new findings and other improvements. When you sign up for the course now, you’ll have access to any and all future content added to the course, which we’ll let you know about.
If you want a useful, practical understanding of the intricacies of brain nutrition (and how to make it easy and tasty), you’ve come to the right place. We want to help our students live the most fulfilling and intellectually active lives possible, and we won’t just show you how to do that; we’ll also show you how to believe in it and see it happening in your own home.

Better Brain Nutriton & Cooking Course FAQ
While we don’t offer 1:1 support in this course, our membership NEURO Academy offers live weekly group coaching where we answer ALL of your questions in a livestream within the member community. We often include other experts and chefs also!
We truly wish this is a promise we could make, but the truth is that brain disease can still occur, even if you do everything ‘right.’ However, we firmly stand in the belief (and have directly witnessed this in our clinic), that evidence-based lifestyle choices can prevent and restore brain health.
Your purchase of this course comes with lifetime, on-demand access to the content and all its supporting materials.
Absolutely not. We ourselves do not eat animal products, and our recipes are all plant-based and we teach you how to include more brain-healthy plant-based foods and meals into your diet. However, we welcome and respect all dietary philosophies and the fact that each person’s journey towards optimal health is unique.
There is no such thing as too old or too young to make positive cognitive changes! Younger students will learn how to protect their brains, and older members will learn how to protect and restore cognitive function. It is meant to help improve your brain health no matter what your age.
Purchase of this course does not make them your doctors. Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai are in no way offering direct medical advice to you or anyone else in this course.
Due to the digital nature of this product and the significant time and investment that went into creating it, we do not offer refunds. If you have a problem with the course, please reach out to our team at contact@teamsherzai.com and we’ll work to find a solution.
Absolutely. While we can never promise with 100% certainty that disease will never occur (this would be irresponsible as doctors and scientists, as well as blatantly untrue), we have experienced incredible results in patients with a family history of brain diseases. We ourselves have direct family members who suffered from dementia, and we certainly practice what we preach to protect our brains.
We’re happy to answer them! Email contact@teamsherzai.com with your question and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Meet Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai
Dr. Dean Sherzai
Dr. Ayesha Sherzai
We are practicing neurologists, scientists, authors, parents, and a husband-and-wife duo who know the value of healthy lifestyle choices.
We met as young physicians, and in our first conversation we learned that both of our grandparents had spent their last days on Earth suffering from dementia. It was then that we vowed to do whatever we could to help others avoid this fate by building healthy minds and bodies.
Our academic journey led us to conduct research, treat patients, and serve as professors at Georgetown University, Columbia University, the National Institutes of Health, Cedar-Sinai, and Loma Linda University, where we serve as the co-directors of The Brain Health and Alzheimer’s Prevention Program.
We’ve worked with devastatingly disease-ridden populations and we’ve worked with some of the healthiest people in the world; the Loma Linda Seventh Day Adventist population which is a Blue Zone community (defined by living measurably longer and healthier lives due to optimal nutrition, exercise, stress management, and social support).
[My interview with the Brain Docs is a] powerful and potentially life-altering conversation that provides everything you need to know about brain health, Alzheimer’s, and how to avoid the grip of this devastating illness.
The Sherzais are arguably the most scientifically-responsible brain health doctors in America.
No one approaches this topic with more expertise and understanding, nor does more to empower us to mind the best health of our brains, than Drs. Ayesha and Dean Sherzai.
