Turning to Dr. Lawlis, Dr. Phil says, "This is really some powerful stuff that we're talking about in terms of increasing intellectual capacity and ability."

"It's very powerful and based strictly on scientific merit," Dr. Lawlis says.

"What are parents doing that is creating the biggest problem for kids in the morning before they go to school?" Dr. Phil inquires.

"One problem is they're feeding them sugar, and sugar is like poison to the brain," Dr. Lawlis responds. "They're feeding them these kinds of sugars that create a metabolic rollercoaster, and actually starve the brain."

"By the time they get to school, they're half in a coma," Dr. Phil observes. "What should they eat in the morning? What do you call 'brain food'?"

"We call brain food protein. That's what the brain uses. So, we recommend that you have at least half protein and half complex carbohydrates," Dr. Lawlis suggests. "Peanut butter, nuts, bacon, sausage."

Dr. Lawlis also recommends breathing exercises and rhythmic music. "The rhythm increases the brain frequencies we need to learn," he says. "For example, marching music ... that particular kind of music really excites the brain, gets somebody very excited and inspired. This does have a direct effect on the brain."
