When It Comes to Mental Health, It’s Not All in Your Head
Most of us tend to think of the brain as an isolated control centre for all our other organs. But the fact is, our inner workings are far more synergistic. According to Karen Jensen, naturopathic doctor and author of Three Brains: How the Heart, Brain, and Gut Influence Mental Health and Identity, there is a growing body of evidence to suggestwe actually have three “brains” and their interaction influences our overall health.She suggests, “nutrients from whole foods, exercise, and supplements are effective, non-invasive ways to support the ‘three brains’ interaction and optimize mental health and cognition.”
Head brain – Cognition, clarity of thought, and memory are key brain functions. Our brains have high oxygen and energy demands. So, when nutritional gaps, stress, or irregular sleep prevail – mental sharpness and concentration can suffer.
Heart brain –Recent discoveries* in neurocardiology have shown that the messages the heart sends the brainaffect our perceptions, mental processes, feelings, and performance in profoundways.
Gut brain –The gut brain contains approximately 100 million neurons and it can work both independently of, and in conjunction with, the head brain. Studies suggest* gut microbiota communicate with the head brain and may play a role in mood and cognition. This gut-brain connection is an exciting emerging field called neurogastroenterology.

We need brain-boosting nutrients for brain function; antioxidants to prevent free radical damage; and omega-3s to help support cognitive health and brain function. The 3 Brains line of supplements is designed to support the critical relationship between the heart brain, the gut brain, and the head brain.
