Your memory score confirms that you are experiencing some memory problems. These issues have begun to affect your life and may be having detrimental effects at work and at home, and also on your personal relationships and quality of life.
There are many factors that affect memory and the brain functions that create memories. These include nutritional deficiencies, sleep problems, family history, lack of exercise, diets that are high in animal proteins and fats, emotional issues, illness, certain medications, and stress — along with many others.
Memory-making is an intricate and delicate process and we suggest you speak to your healthcare provider to find answers to any specific questions about your personal health and memory.
You always have the opportunity to change most of the factors linked to forgetfulness, and taking action on any of them can improve your memory. Providing your brain with the support and raw materials it needs every day to make, store and recall memories is an important first step.
You can help improve your memory by using simple everyday tools, like diet, supplementation and lifestyle. Better Mind also offers lots of detailed tips to help you have a sharper memory now and as you get older. From challenging your brain, to reducing stress and avoiding the things known to harm memory, you can make a big difference in your memory function — naturally, and without drugs.
Science shows that several simple steps can supply your brain with the elements it needs every day in order to have good memory function indefinitely.
- The food you eat — choose brain-supporting foods by following a Mediterranean-style diet with lots of vegetables, moderate amounts of lean protein like fish, a few whole grains and olive oil in place of butter. Add fruit and nuts for snacks and reduce dairy foods and saturated fats.
- The right supplementation — follow research guidelines and supplement your diet with targeted nutrients shown in studies to support, and even improve, memory and brain function. Look specifically for high quality B vitamins, along with vitamin D, fish oil with DHA and a powerful antioxidant, like Curcumin.
- Physical activity — find exercise you love and fit it into your schedule 4-5 times a week. You can walk at lunchtime or in the evening, take yoga or Pilates classes, bike, run, swim, dance or play sports. Exercise is a scientifically-proven way to improve memory, and it makes you feel good too, which is good for your brain and your mind.
- Your lifestyle choices — from reducing stress to challenging your brain, the way you live your life has everything to do with your memory. Learn and practice deep breathing techniques, and try meditation. Learn to speak a new language or how to play a musical instrument. Join a local theatre club or try art lessons. The more you stretch your brain, the more opportunity you have to improve how well it functions, and that includes memory.

Your memory score indicates that you’re experiencing genuine issues with your memory. We suggest that you make an appointment to be evaluated by your healthcare provider.

Information is power, and your most important first step is to get to the root source of your memory issues. There are many factors that affect memory and the brain functions that create memories. A lot of these can be changed or improved, and you’ll know the best course of action once you understand what’s causing your forgetfulness.

This means that any memory issues you’re experiencing have an additional component related to your emotional health. Anxious feelings are often temporary but it’s good to be aware of them, and if they get worse, you should talk with your healthcare provider for guidance going forward.You may benefit from taking action to relieve your short-term anxiety, which may help improve both your memory and how you feel every day. Anxious feelings often stem from adrenal overproduction of the hormone, cortisol. Normalizing levels of this stress hormone can help you feel less anxious. Diet and supplementation are effective and efficient ways to rebalance cortisol.
Eating regular meals and choosing healthy snacks reduces stress on your body which can help with high cortisol levels. Supplementing with passionflower and phosphotidylserine also helps normalize cortisol levels naturally. The calming formula, Serinisol, is formulated to help with cortisol imbalances and contains both of these key plant-based nutrients.
