The doctor who takes his own formulas
A note from David, Customer Care
He wrote the book on brain longevity in 1997. Then he made the formulas he takes every morning. Three minutes, the plain facts, and two honest ways to start.
Dharma Singh Khalsa, M.D.
Author of Brain Longevity. He has taken his own formulas every day since 2002.
I'm David. I answer the phone at Dr. Dharma, and I read every reply to my letters. People who find us from an ad usually ask me the same three things: who is this doctor, what is actually in the bottles, and what does it cost to find out. Here are the answers, with nothing left out.
Who he is
A physician who learned it first in his own life
After his residency in anesthesiology, he walked into a yoga class in New Mexico on a stranger's recommendation. He had struggled with focus his whole life. Within weeks of a daily practice his own mind felt sharper and steadier than it ever had. He spent the rest of his career on one idea: how you live shapes how well your mind holds up.
- 1978Begins the daily practice that changed his own focus
- 1993Founds a nonprofit foundation for brain research
- 1997Warner Books publishes Brain Longevity, later translated into a dozen languages
- 2001Publishes Meditation as Medicine
- 2002Releases Brain Caps and Memory Caps, and starts taking them every morning
- 2003Testifies before the United States Congress on how the way we live shapes the aging mind
Why he made them
Patients arrived with bags of bottles. He made the opposite.
A dozen brands, no plan, and labels that hid the amounts behind a "proprietary blend." He made five formulas, and on every one of them each ingredient is printed with its amount. Nothing is hidden. You can hand the label to your own doctor.
He takes all five every day. The two he starts people on are Brain Caps and Memory Caps.
Brain Caps
His focus and clarity formula. Phosphatidylserine (100 mg), a building block of brain cell membranes. Ginkgo biloba (80 mg), known for supporting healthy circulation. Vegan DHA from algae, the omega-3 the brain is partly built from.
Two capsules a day. One bottle is a 30-day supply.
Memory Caps
His everyday recall formula. Huperzine A (50 mcg), vinpocetine (2.5 mg) and blueberry (195 mg), with ashwagandha (100 mg) and rhodiola (5 mg), two adaptogens traditionally used to help the body handle everyday stress.
Two capsules a day. One bottle is a 30-day supply.
Together they are the Core Regimen: daily support for memory, focus and mental clarity, taken with meals.
