From mood to memory, protein keeps the brain sharp and resilient with age.
When Colin Cooper, a 45-year-old business expert, started experiencing brain fog and low energy in his 30s, he brushed it off as stress or just part of getting older. He felt moody for no clear reason, often forgot where he’d placed things, and sometimes noticed a strange tingling in his hands that made him feel uneasy.
With a background in neuroscience and human behavior, Cooper eventually decided to look into what might be going on. That’s when he discovered he was consistently falling short on protein, and things began to make sense.
