DHA and Our Brains

Note: DHA and DHEA, despite being similar acronyms, are two different things entirely. This article discusses DHA or docosahexaenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid derived from food sources. DHEA is dehydroepiandrosterone, which is a synthetic hormone. While synthetic hormones may have beneficial uses in some cases, they are not discussed here a nutrition for optimal brain function and repair.

That being said, let's talk about the food derived omega-3 fatty acid known as DHA.

The Importance of Omega-3’s:

DHA is my go to nutrient for healing from any injury, (including TBI, concussion, stroke, etc…) and also likely THE most supportive and protective nutrient I have found to preserve and enhance brain health and brain plasticity. It is also the most potent nutrient for the developing eyes and brain as well. When we are repairing the brain after injury, we are rewiring the brain… rebuilding the brain… and reDEVELOPING the brain! This may be why DHA is the most powerful nutrient for brain injury.

DHA is one of the most important omega-3 fatty acids in our diet. First off, what is an omega-3 fatty acid? There are two essential fatty acids (EFA’s) which are alpha linoleic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid), and linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid).
They are called “essential” because our bodies cannot produce them so we must acquire them from food sources. When it comes to omega-3’s, there are three main players:

  • ALA (alpha linoleic acid)
  • EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid)
  • DHA (docosahexaenoic acid)

ALA must be acquired from food sources because we can’t create it. The other two Omega-3’s are often also considered to be essential by many experts, but they are “conditionally essential” because ALA can be converted into EPA and DHA.
The problem is that our bodies’ ability to convert ALA into EPA is typically only about 10% (depending on what study you look at), and our ability to convert  EPA into DHA is only about 1% of that initial 10%!

Love Your Liver

Additionally, this conversion occurs in the liver, and only works if your liver is functioning optimally.
Since we live in a world that we humans have filled with pollution, most people’s livers are dealing with a total crisis of contamination, so this conversion is likely even less!

DHA and Your Brain


As you will read, these fatty acids are very important for brain health, but because we technically can convert ALA into DHA and EPA, there is no officially set recommended daily intake.
In this article, we will talk about what these fatty acids do, how much to take, and some easy ways that we can supply these nutrients.

Why is DHA so special?

DHA is the rarest needed fat that we find in foods, and it is the final stage of the conversion process that Omega-3’s undergo in our bodies. If we can get an optimal amount from diet and/or supplementation, then it takes the pressure off our liver to convert other omega-3’s into DHA.
Much of the research on Omega-3’s show DHA specifically to have the most beneficial effects on memory, and brain health. In the Chicago study (1), a strong neuroprotective effect was observed with DHA that was not seen to the same degree with EPA.
Several studies have also shown that people with Alzheimer’s have severely low levels of DHA in key areas of the brain related to memory formation like the hippocampus (2)(3).

In another study at Rotterdam (4), it was discovered that eating even one meal per week that included fatty fish like salmon could reduce the incidence of cognitive decline and dementia by up to 60%!
DHA also helps improve cognitive abilities in aging rats who do not have a neurodegenerative disease (5). Other studies show DHA improving cognitive abilities, and learning in healthy young rats as well (6) which means that you do not have to be sick to get better from using DHA!
Many of these health benefits come from the antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory effects of DHA shown in the image below. However, many of the brain benefits, as you will soon see, come from the fact that it is a crucial structural component of the brain itself.

The next crucial piece of this omega-3 puzzle lies in fetal brain development and the first few years of our lives which are some of the most formative years for our brains and neurons.
I have often stated the importance of healthy fats because our brains are about 60% fat. I also like to remind everyone that our brains consume about 25% of our total energy and nutrition even though our brains make up only a small part of our body mass.
When we are in the womb, this energy consumption goes up to 70%! Almost all of our energy resources go to building our brain and nervous system when we are a fetus, and DHA is a crucial part of this building process.

Our Brain and Our Eyes

DHA makes up about 30% of our brain matter and approximately 50% of the retinal structure in our eyes. Adding DHA to your diet not only increases cognitive function, but it also increased visual acuity in developing humans and animals (7).
As if this were not enough of a reason to make sure you are getting enough DHA in your diet, another study found that babies born with neurological problems had low levels of DHA, and other important fatty acids, and had elevated levels of trans fats in their brains (8).

Avoid Trans Fats and Get DHA

Adults are basically just grown up babies which is why we recommend avoiding trans fats and other inflammatory fats, and adding in anti-inflammatory fats like DHA and EPA into your diet. DHA reduces inflammation by reducing the expression of Nf-kB (Nuclear factor kappa-beta) among many other anti-inflammatory actions shown in the image below.
Nf-kB is an inflammatory marker in our bodies that we can measure that can generally show us how much inflammation or oxidative stress is occurring in out bodies.

An Imbalance of Fatty Acids

What’s pretty scary is that we in the United States have an imbalance of fats in our diets that is reaching epidemiological proportions. It is recommended that we eat a 1:1 ratio or at most a 1:2 ratio of omega-3 fatty acid to Omega-6 fatty acid.

However, the average American eats between 1:16 and 1:36 ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6. Many of us are eating too many fried foods that are cooked in rancid (oxidized) Omega-6 oils like vegetable oil, canola oil, cottonseed oil, soybean oil, and other common polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA’s).
In order for our bodies to properly metabolize these fats, we need a balance of them in pretty even ratios.
Some oils like olive oil are naturally in a healthy balance of Omega-3 to Omega-6, while oils like vegetable oil (which are not actually made from vegetables, but from the seeds of grasses) are almost entirely Omega-6 fatty acids.

Ventresca Tuna Bellies from Vital Choice: 3550 mg total omega-3’s per 1/2 can: 
EPA 840 mg • DHA 2430 mg

How Much is Enough?

The American Heart Association says that we should eat two or more servings (3.5 oz.) of fatty fish like salmon, sardines, tuna, etc. in order to support cardiovascular health, but a dietary survey of shows that most Americans eat half that amount or less.
According to one dietary study (9), most Americans get a dose of combined EPA and DHA equalling 100-200mg per day while many experts recommend getting at least 650mg (combined EPA/DHA) per day, and I like my intake to be at least 500mg of DHA a day. More is even more beneficial as “Supplemental intakes of EPA and DHA combined at doses up to 5 g/day… do not raise safety concerns for adults.” CITE

Introducing Feed a Brain Protect & Restore High Monoglyceride DHA

Protect & Restore High DHA Omega-3s

Since my severe TBI, I needed to support and protect the brain and so I research like my life depended on it… because it did. In my research, DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is THE most powerful nutrient I have found to protect the brain from neurological damage and degeneration, as well as aiding in the restoration of brain function after neurological injury. This is why I have searched far and wide for the best supplements, and a concentrated DHA in monoglyeceride form is what I have found to be the cream of the crop!

Why Monoglyceride?

The production of fish oil concentrates requires converting the fish oil into a form that can be encapsulated. There are typically two different forms of fish oil supplements:

  • Ethyl Ester (EE): Using a chemical process called “molecular distillation”, the natural triglyceride form of a fish oil is broken apart and an ethanol molecule is attached to the free fatty acids created. This process allows for a “fish oil concentrate,” but these fish oils lack a glycerol backbone. Because of this the fatty acids are unstable and are looking for an available triglyceride backbone which they may take from an existing molecule in our brain or body. When this occurs, our cells are actually damaged. Additionally, studies have shown that ethyl esters are the least bio-available forms of omega-3’s.(8)
  • Triglyceride (TG): Fish naturally contain the omega-3 fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) as triglyceride esters. Evidence suggests that triglyceride (TG) fish oils are better absorbed in comparison to EEs. And because we can only use what we absorb, absorption is VERY important! So, because they are better absorbed (and because they aren’t creating a domino effect of unstable fatty acids in our bodies), TGs are better than EEs.

Monoglycerides are up to 3.5x better absorbed than triglyceride fish oils!

Our bodies enzymatically break down triglycerides into monoglycerides that we can then use, but Protect & Restore is already enzymatically broken down into its high potency monoglyceride form. This makes Protect & Restore up to 3.5x more absorbable than an equivalent dose of ethyl ester fish oil!

This technology means that the DHA, sourced from cold water fatty fish, has already been pre-digested so that up to 3.5 times the DHA and EPA is able to be readily absorbed by our cells.

Studies conducted by the manufacturer of MaxSimil provide promising results suggesting better absorption than other fish oils. An unpublished, double-blind, crossover, pharmacokinetic study was performed in healthy overnight-fasted male and female subjects (N = 20) ages 19 to 60. Each subject was administered a single dose of six softgels (containing ~2000 mg EPA and ~1500 mg DHA) of either ethyl ester (EE) fish oil or MaxSimil. Compared to the EE form, MaxSimil EPA and DHA reached a peak concentration more than three times higher than that reached by EE fish oil. Moreover, MaxSimil not only reached maximum concentration faster but also maintained plasma levels longer.*[11-13]

What About Vegan Sources?

ALA can be found in many vegetarian and vegan sources like flax, hemp, and chia seeds while EPA and DHA (the important conditionally essential fatty acids) are primarily found in animal foods like fatty fish and eggs.
If you are a vegan, then I highly recommend supplementing EPA and DHA. Luckily, there is one vegan source of EPA and DHA that is cold-pressed from algae. You can find our favorite vegan omega-3 supplement (including EPA and DHA) by clicking on the image below.

This is our favorite salmon supplier: Vital Choice

What If You Are Deficient in Omega-3’s?

Bear in mind that this recommendation is if you are healthy, and not deficient in Omega-3’s! You may require far more under certain circumstances. 
In addition to supporting a healthy brain, Omega-3’s have also been shown to have beneficial effects on obesity, metabolic syndrome, and cardiovascular health (10).

A National Health Crisis

When we combine all of this data, we can clearly see that EPA and DHA are much more essential than we once thought, and that most people in the U.S. are not getting enough which is leading to a lot of complications.
There was a study done at Harvard that was funded by the Center for Disease Control. It was estimated that approximately 96,000 deaths every year were caused by diseases related to omega-3 deficiency (mainly cardiovascular and neurodegenerative disease)!

Food First, Supplement Second

In our opinion getting these nutrients from your diet is the best option because there are other amazing nutrients found wrapped up in food sources of Omega-3’s that you will not get with a supplement.
However, if you live on the go like most of us, or cannot eat fatty fish, and/or eggs for some reason, then we highly recommend getting a supplement just to cover all of your bases. Below are some of the suppliers we love for fish, and fish oil.

Vital Choice and JJ Virgin

We have taken great care to select only the highest quality fish products from pristine fisheries with very low contamination from toxins that are all too common in your average store bought fish.
We also choose companies that fish sustainably in order protect our environment from further degradation. All of the fish oils we recommend are molecularly distilled to remove neurotoxins like mercury, and are held to international quality standards that are validated by third party laboratories

Feed a Brain Protect & Restore contains MaxSimil®, a natural enzymatically enhanced monoglyceride fish oil (DHA) that is up to three and a half times greater absorption rate than an equivalent dose of most available fish oils.

    Dr Perlmutter apparently had been looking through the data on the BlueZone cultures [ those people are not only more likely to pass 90 years old — over 30% likely — but they are vigorously healthy -vs- a dozen prescriptions and decrepit like in western medicine land] … Perlmutter commented that the average intake of olive oil [evo] was an astounding PINT PER WEEK PER PERSON… that’s about 1oz/meal x2meals per day… and that would amount to a LOT of omega 3… about 400mg/day [courtesy of wikipedia]…. the rest of their diet was lots of veggies and fish, [other meat varied by locale] whether they were mediteranean, central american, or far east… and to cap off the commonalities, i’ll point out — since no one else will — that they all lived in climates that were under 1000 heating degree days per year, even the 7th Day Adventists are predominately southern USA…. not like Ohio’s 5000 HDD per year.. so who knows how many oz/day you’d need in northern climates… more fuel needed in the cold, just ask any stray cat in our naturopathic rescue work, lol… ttyl

Heal Your Brain with Nutrition

“How to Feed a Brain is an important book. It’s the book I’ve been looking for since sustaining multiple concussions in the fall of 2013. I’ve dabbled in and out of gluten, dairy, and (processed) sugar free diets the past few years, but I have never eaten enough nutritious foods. This book has a simple-to-follow guide on daily consumption of produce, meat, and water.

I appreciate how Cavin writes about important concepts, such as leaky gut and glial cells, in a clear and concise manner.

There are a large number of people attempting to recover from brain injuries that are lacking the right information on nutrition. Thanks to Cavin and his team, we have this book now.

I look forward to eating my quality vegetables, proteins, and fats every day now as I know that they will help my brain to heal.

Cavin’s story is inspirational and worth a read on its own.”

But I do feel better in several ways that just might be related to…

“I cannot overstate how grateful I am to Cavin for having published this book (and launched his podcast) before I needed it. I am 3.5 months out from a concussion and struggling to recover that final 25% or so of my brain and function.

Gavin’s story is inspiring, and his book is well-researched and clearly written. I am a food geek and so innately understand a lot of his advice — I’m not intimidated by the thought of drastically changing my diet because I know well how to shop and cook for myself — but I so appreciate how his gentle approach and stories about his own struggles with a new diet might help people who would find it all daunting. I am in week 2 of following his advice (and also Dr. Titus Chiu’s BrainSave plan). It’s not an instantaneous miracle cure, but I do feel better in several ways that just might be related to this diet.”

We can take care of our brains

“I am nearly four years out from my traumatic brain injury and I have been through 100’s of hours of rehabilitation therapy. I have been surprised by how little attention is given to adequate nutrition for recovering from TBI. I’m always looking for further opportunities to recover and so this book fell into the right hands. Cavin outlines the science and reasoning behind the diet he suggests, but the real power in this book comes when he writes, “WE.” WE can give our brains proper nutrition. Now I’m excited to drink smoothies and eat breakfasts that look like dinners! I will recommend this book to my friends.

(I was given a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.)”

One of the best

“Cavin is a great man. A survivor… And a rock star.
I met him when I was 19, and re-met him later in life, after his accident. He still has this gorgeous understanding of the world that makes me believe in him, and always makes me listen to what he has to say.
When my mom had a stroke last year he was the first person I called. He had so much knowledge about what she was going though and totally understood what I was experiencing as well.
He was the first person I thought of, and hopefully the last I’ll need to.

You’re the best, Mr. B.”

Great Resource-brain injury not required

“Cavin Balaster knows brain injury as well as any specialist. He survived a horrific accident and came out on the other side stronger than ever. His book, “How To Feed A Brain” details how changing his diet helped him to recover further from the devastating symptoms of brain injury such as fatigue and brain fog. Cavin is able to thoroughly explain complex issues in a simplified manner so the reader does not need a medical degree to understand. The book also includes comprehensive charts to simplify what the body needs and how to provide the necessary foods. “How To Feed A Brain” is a great resource for anyone looking to improve their health through diet, brain injury not required.”

Fistfuls of exciting brain foods to launch you plus feeding tube powerful nutrition implementation…

“In the hospital and ICU struggles, this book and Cavin’s experience are golden, and if we’d have had this book’s special attention to feeding tube nutrition, my son would be alive today sitting right here along with me saying it was the cod liver oil, the fish oil, and other nutrients able to be fed to him instead of the junk in the pharmacy tubes, that got him past the liver-test results, past the internal bleeding, past the brain difficulties controlling so many response-obstacles back then. Back then, the ‘experts’ in rural hospitals were unwilling to listen, ignored my son’s unexpected turnaround when we used codliver oil transdermally on his sore skin, threatened instead to throw me out, but Cavin has his own proof and his accumulated experience in others’ journeys. Cavin’s boxed areas of notes throughout the book on applying the brain nutrient concepts in feeding tubes are powerful stuff, details to grab onto and run with… hammer them!

And in general his expertise in implementation is unparalleled. His dynamite measuring empowerment of the human in a wonderland of changing everything with ‘fistful’ simplifying potency is the difference between progress and stumbling on techy adjustments in habits.. With this book you are ready to go.”

An Enlightening Book For Anyone With A Brain

“In 183 pages, Cavin Balaster’s new book, How to Feed A Brain provides an outline and plan for how to maximize one’s brain performance. The “Citation Notes” provide all the scientific and academic documentation for further understanding. The “Additional Resources and Tips” listing takes you to Cavin’s website for more detail than could be covered in 183 pages. Cavin came to this knowledge through the need to recover from a severe traumatic brain injury and he did not keep his lessons learned to himself. This book is enlightening for anyone with a brain. We all want to function optimally, even to take exams, stay dynamic, and make positive contributions to our communities. Bravo Cavin for sharing your lessons learned!”

The very basic concept of good nutrition among all the conflicting advertisements and various “new”

“As a neuro-optometrist who cares for many brain-injured patients experiencing visual challenges that negatively impact the progress of many of their other therapies, Cavin’s book is a god-send! The very basic concept of good nutrition among all the conflicting advertisements and various “new” food plans and diets can be enough to put anyone into a brain fog much less a brain injured survivor! Cavin’s book is straightforward and written from not only personal experience but the validation of so many well-respected contemporary health care researchers and practitioners! I will certainly be recommending this book as a “Survival/Recovery 101” resource for all my patients including those without brain injuries because we all need optimum health and well-being and it starts with proper nourishment! Kudos to Cavin Balaster!”

When it comes to our brain health, we want to feed our brains, we want our digestion to be working optimally so that we get the brain building nutrition to our brains (if you fart, your digestion is not optimal), and we want to stimulate the brain to create the pathways we want through training, mindset, somatic integration, and more. 

When it comes to neuero-rehabilitation after a TBI, nutrition and digestion is especially important in conjunction with modalities like #functionalneurology, #neuro-optometry, #PT, #OT, #SLP, #NMDR etc. 

Functional neurology and neuro-optometry have been especially instrumental in my own recovery and I’m so honored to be speaking for #IAFNR2023 and continuing to bring these, and other synergistic modalities, together! 

I think of building connections in the brain like building a bridge. And to build a bridge, we need supplies (@feedabrain) and skilled workers (training/targeted therapy). We also need to get the supplies to the construction site (digestion). 

I’m honored to be supporting IAFNR in supplying patients with the resources I wish I had throughout my recovery. These resources focus on supplies (nutrition), and getting those supplies to the construction site (digestion) so that patients are able to empower by doing what they  can do to reach further in their recovery potential.

You can find these nutritional resources in my bio.

🧠 Attention, Brain Injury Survivors! 🌟

It’s me, Cavin, the Brain Guy, but today, I want to discuss something vital: digestion, leaky gut, and intestinal permeability. Trust me, it's all connected to your well-being and brain health.

I dove into the Leaky Gut 2.0 class I've been raving about, and let me tell you, it was eye-opening.

Here’s what I got right: Leaky gut is incredibly important. In fact, it's the first step in nearly every functional medicine protocol for any health condition. 

Why? The digestive system is our body's primary entry point for nutrients and a major source of inflammation.

Leaky gut, or intestinal permeability, occurs when undigested food particles enter the bloodstream, triggering an immune response and gut inflammation.

It creates a loop that looks like this:

👇An inflamed gut releases inflammatory chemical messengers called cytokines
👇These cytokines cross the blood-brain barrier, inflaming the brain 
👇The brain’s ability to communicate with the gut diminishes 
👇Impairing digestion and making the gut even leakier
👆This permeable gut is even more inflamed, sending us back to point 1

Do you see the loop here? It's a vicious cycle.

The key to breaking this inflammatory loop is to focus on healing the intestinal wall, aka the leaky gut.

And guess what? There are actionable protocols that empower us to optimize our health and function.

Steve shared these protocols and why they work in the class that went live on Saturday. 

If you haven’t checked out this class, now is the time. I’ve still got a 50% discount until July 22.

If you are ready to take control of your gut health and well-being, don't miss out on this incredible opportunity to learn from the Leaky Gut 2.0 class.
