How To Improve Your Brain
Through our interactions with our students, there's one question that keeps coming back: “How do I improve my brain?”
This course is our answer to that question.
Because as much as we'd have loved to reveal the one magical trick that significantly enhances your brain — it simply doesn't work that way. As you'll see, there's no scientific evidence behind brain games and similar programs, however loudly they claim otherwise.
So instead of a magic pill, I want to give you what actually works.
Five pillars, grounded in research, that put the quality of your brain back in your own hands.
One of my all-time favourite quotes about the brain comes from American scientist Emerson Pugh:
“If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't.”
I guess that says it all.
Here's what this course gives you instead of gimmicks:
- Real, research-backed lifestyle strategies that measurably affect your brain
- A clear framework — five pillars — so you know exactly where to focus
- Concrete next steps, including a 30-day plan to actually put it into practice
“This is not somebody's airy theory. This is all based on empirical research - I like that. The course doesn't offer a magic pill - “do this one thing and you'll be a genius in 7 days”. Instead it looks at all aspects that impact brain health and offers a variety of sound strategies for improving your own brain health - I like that too. And Gregory is an engaging and lucid speaker - All good”

The Neuroscience behind the course...
Two things drive the improvement of your brain: neurogenesis and neuroplasticity.
Neurogenesis is the creation of new brain cells. Neuroplasticity is about putting those new cells to good use.
And here's what's key to everything in this course. Depending on your lifestyle choices, we see an enormous variation in the rate of neurogenesis — we're talking 3 to 5 times more new brain cells being created. Or not.
And again, depending on those same choices, 60 to 70% of those new brain cells will die off. Or not.
Some choices boost the creation and wiring of brain cells. Others drastically reduce it. Which means:
How you live your life has a direct influence on the quality of your brain.
“Excellent content, very informative with lots of things I had no clue about. Fantastic, professional delivery in an entertaining format. Gregory Caremans is a true expert in the field and the course delivers a very fun and educational way to understand how to improve your brain. Definitely recommended!!!”

How To Grow New Brain Cells
The place where it all starts is the hippocampus.
We've known for a long time that the hippocampus is involved in forming new memories and recalling them. Damage there leads to cognitive deficits and memory problems — scientists have established this over and over, through research into injuries and illnesses. Alzheimer's, for example, massively attacks the hippocampus, with the unfortunate results we all know.
But the hippocampus does more than that.
It's one of only two places in the brain where you keep growing new brain cells throughout your entire life. Yes — your entire adult life. It doesn't stop in your early twenties, as was once believed. It just goes on, and on, and on.
Now, for most people the rate of neurogenesis starts dropping somewhere around age 30 to 35. Sometimes so dramatically that by 40 the first noticeable effects show up: memory loss, cognitive decline, anxiety and low mood, a loss of vitality.
But this is no fatality.

Whatever your age, whatever the current state of your brain — this can change.
Your brain can renew itself at any age. And depending on your lifestyle choices, you can raise that neurogenesis rate again.
And that is exactly what we aim to do with this program.
“I have been looking for information online about the brain age and how to improve memory, brain function and ways to reduce the potential for Alzheimers. This is one of the best sources of information I have found so far that isn't gimmicky or just trying to upsell other products. Very straight forward and well presented. Easy to digest the content and easy to implement next steps. Kudos!”

JOIN NOWScience... but fun
All this neuroscience could come across as complex, or even a little dry. But here's the thing — I'm more a communicator than a scientist. I'm a firm believer in edu-tainment, and that's exactly what you'll get here: solid research delivered in plain language, with humor, stories, and examples from my own life.
This course took me over three years to research and develop, and it has become one of the cornerstones of what we do here at the academy. That's how important it is.
But don't take my word for it. Head over to the reviews and see what other students had to say.
(And if for any reason you don't agree with them, there's always your 14-day money-back guarantee.)

“Excellent! I've already implemented the strategies and they really work!”

This course Is For You If...
- you want to protect your memory and mental sharpness as you age
- you're tired of gimmicks and want strategies that are actually evidence-based
- you help others grow and want brain-based tools you can trust
- you believe your brain can keep renewing itself — at any age
What's Included In The Course...
MODULE 1
Get Up
The single most reliable trigger for growing new brain cells — and it isn't a supplement, an app, or a puzzle.
- The one activity with the strongest evidence base behind it (and the surprisingly small dose that works)
- What an “enriched environment” does to a brain — and how to build one without moving house
- The everyday habit most people abandon in their thirties, at exactly the wrong moment
MODULE 2
Finding Balance
Why some brains stay sharp into their nineties while others fade at sixty — and what separates them.
- What makes something genuinely stimulating to a brain, versus merely busy
- The kind of novelty that counts (it's closer to home than you'd expect)
- What a study of 678 nuns revealed about cognitive reserve — one of the most striking findings in the field
MODULE 3
No (Wo)man Is An Island
The brain-health factor almost nobody takes seriously — and the one with some of the strongest data behind it.
- What isolation does to a brain, measurably
- Why this pillar works in both directions, and how to use that
- The relationships that protect you — and the ones quietly costing you
MODULE 4
Time Out
What your brain does while you're asleep, and why skimping on it undoes most of your other efforts.
- The hormone modern life disrupts without you noticing
- Why twenty minutes changes an entire afternoon
- The bedroom factors that matter — and the popular advice that doesn't
MODULE 5
Building Blocks For Your Brain
Your brain is built from what you eat. Here's what it's actually asking for.
- The nutrient your brain is largely made of — and why most diets fall short
- What colour on your plate has to do with protecting neurons
- The everyday item to go easy on, and where moderation genuinely matters
MODULE 6
Brain Boosters
Beyond the five pillars: a short list of free practices with a disproportionate return.
- How something you do 20,000 times a day can shift your brain state on demand
- Why one particular activity lights up more of the brain than almost anything else
- Small additions you can start today, at no cost
MODULE 7
Brain Killers
Just as important as what helps — what's quietly working against you.
- What chronic stress does to the exact brain region where new cells are born
- How overconsumption hijacks the system from the inside
- The everyday risk most people never think about — until it's too late
MODULE 8
Conclusion
Where it all comes together and becomes a plan you'll actually follow.
- The five pillars, in the order that matters most for you
- Your next 30 days, mapped out step by step
- A bonus talk with a simple way to remember the whole framework — plus the sixth pillar I didn't tell you about
"It will be a better world if every parent learns how to raise a child. oh my god this is an amazing class that every parents should take 100%."
