Let's talk about diet. Specifically brain foods.

Nearly from day one of my competitive memory career, I've been taking one specific supplement every single day, without fail.

That supplement is DHA Omega-3.

I first learned the benefits of DHA back in 2011 when a sponsor of the USA Memory Championship approached me to collaborate with them. At the time, I wasn't really thinking of how I could be feeding my brain better, but the more I learned, the more I realized I needed to be taking these supplements if I really wanted to strengthen my brain.

There are a number of ways to get DHA into your system, but one of the most common is through eating fish. I don't particularly eat a ton of fish, so the alternative was through a DHA supplement. Algal DHA was the way for me as I was suggested the brand, Brain Armor. The rest was history.

In 2012 I started religiously taking Brain Armor supplements daily. In 2013, I even brought bottles of it to Everest for my second attempt to keep my brain healthy throughout the expedition.


Fast forward to today and I'm still taking 1000mg of DHA daily, and still using Brain Armor. I love their mission statement, trying to impact and improve brain health across the globe.

I'm very picky and careful choosing any brand I choose to endorse, but this one is a no-brainer. I've been using it for years and plan on using it for a long time, so why not encourage you to do the same? It's done wonders for my brain, I'd be selfish not to share that with you.

Just a few of the health benefits of DHA Omega-3:

  • Fights inflammation

  • Supports muscle recovery after exercise

  • Improves brain health and may even prevent cognitive diseases later in life

  • Lowers blood pressure and supports circulation

I am officially announcing my partnership with Brain Armor and will be a brand ambassador for them over the next few months. What does that mean for you? First of all, awareness and knowledge of the brand and brain health as a whole. I'll be working on some contents that will help you understand more about DHA and how it affects your brain. Secondly, discounts. If you're interested in getting yourself some Brain Armor, you can head to their website and use the promo code NELSON at checkout for a 15% discount.

Your brain says THANK YOU!
