Pol Grek · popular brain science

Your brain isn’t the enemy. It’s a system. Learn to run it.

No mysticism. Books use evidence grades [A]–[D]: what actually works vs. supplement marketing.

Example: “drink 2 liters a day” is often marketing, not physiology. Sleep, light, and movement beat aquarium rituals.

Evidence grades in the books: A — strong data and reviews; B — solid studies; C — limited data; D — observation and expert practice. You always know how hard the claim is.
