HIGH PERFORMANCE INDIVIDUALS

"The first thing you put in your mouth in the morning…provided it is food…dictates all neurotransmitters for the whole day.” - Charles Poliquin

What are Neurotransmitters?

Neurotransmitters are just chemicals that your nervous system uses to communicate with itself. They relay messages by traveling between cells and attaching to specific receptors on target cells. Each neurotransmitter attaches to a different receptor — for example, dopamine molecules attach to dopamine receptors. When they attach, this triggers action in the target cells. 

Why is this Important?

Dictating your Neurotransmitter makeup for the day is particularly important if attention span, and concentration are crucial for your performance. By understanding how the brain can influence your productivity you can hack your morning to enhance your success. If I told you that your breakfast of a muffin and loaded coffee will decrease your productivity by 10% for that day would you still eat that? What if I told you that has a compounding affect for the following days? I know competitive executives that would ensure that you will be working your final days soon.

Now, if I told you to substitute your muffin and loaded coffee with steak, eggs and black coffee and you would GAIN 10% productivity for the day coupled with the compounding affect would you do it? Imagine having the focus and energy to accomplish the work in 4 hours then most accomplish in 8 hours? That is the influence your food has on your overall physical and mental performance.
