Life Extension Scientists and Designer Food™ Formulators

Durk graduated from MIT in 1965 with a triple major in Physics, Biology, and Psychology, and a triple minor in electrical engineering, computer science, and chemistry. Durk has patents in the areas of oil shale recovery, laser, holography, and functional food.  He worked on all the manned aerospace programs from Gemini to the Shuttle and won numerous awards, including an award from the International Society for Testing and Failure Analysis (a professional organization), for his penetrating quality control and safety analyses.  He wrote much of the original safety manual for the Materials Processing Laboratory on the Shuttle.

Sandy Shaw received her B.S. degree in chemistry form U.C.L.A. in 1966 with a double major in chemistry and zoology and a minor in mathematics.  She has a patent on a functional food product.  Her work in the food industry has included supervision of quality control of all food production at a major canned food company.  In the late 1960s, she designed and implemented the first computerized quality control system to be used at the company, doing all the computer programming herself.

Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw – The Scientists Behind Life Priority

Durk Pearson & Sandy Shaw are independent experts in anti-aging research & brain biochemistry. They are pioneers in life extension. Pearson and Shaw have also been very politically-active over the years with regard to protecting people’s rights in America to access nutritional supplements, and to easily obtain available accurate information about the supplements which may benefit their health. To this effect, they wrote the book Freedom of Informed Choice: FDA Versus Nutritional Supplements (Common Sense Press, 1993), and won a landmark lawsuit against the FDA–Pearson v. Shalala–charging the government agency with unconstitutionally restricting manufacturers from distributing truthful health information (which was viewed as a violation of the constitution’s First Amendment guarantee of free speech) that could save many people’s lives. This was a landmark achievement for the dietary supplement industry and for the availability of truthful scientific information to consumers.

Together, the two design dietary supplements and functional foods and license them to select manufacturers. Pearson and Shaw have written three best-selling books on the aging process, health maintenance, weight loss, and nutrition, as well as a book on FDA public policy: Life Extension, a Practical Scientific Approach, The Life Extension Companion, The Life Extension Weight Loss Program, and Freedom of Informed Choice: FDA v. Nutrient Supplements. They are the proud recipients of many awards including the Award for Excellence in Health & Education from the Association for Holistic Health, and the American Aging Association’s Paul F. Glenn Award for “individuals who have made special contributions to biomedical aging research.”

When you use it consistently before workouts or at bedtime (on an empty stomach), you will experience why this could be your personal fountain of youth.

The enclosed interview will describe the value of using Muscle Memory. In 1991, I began using this formula to increase my strength and endurance, speed up my recovery time, and have less soreness after exercise. The use of Muscle Memory allows you to get the most from your exercise.

For optimum results, use 1-3 servings of Muscle Memory 1 hour before exercise on an empty stomach (avoid eating protein 2-3 hours before work outs) or 1 hour before bedtime. Read label instructions before using Muscle Memory.

Be Proactive With Your Cognitive Health, Before You Forget

What Our Customers are Saying About Our Brain Health Supplements

Don’t take our word for it, here are reviews from verified customers that love our products!


Shannon Ponce-Smith
Shannon Ponce-Smith Mind™ Supplement Review Read More

I’ve only tried Mind and Lift so far, but it is a real game changer. I have been taking 3 other supplements for a couple of ears now and haven’t experienced that same results that I was going for increased and stable energy throughout the day, ability to focus which would also lead to decreased depression and anxiety. When I was tired all the time, I wasn’t as focused on getting regular daily tasks done which lead to depression and anxiety after awhile. This happens when it goes on for years despite 8 hours of sleep and a clean diet.
Within a week, my husband was complimenting me on the noticeable changes and I was sharing the products (Lift & Mind) with him and a co-worker.

Mary Kay
Mary Kay Mind™ Supplement Review Read More

I have been using these products since at least 1992.
This morning I did an errand before taking product subsequently was 3 hours later than I usually take product.
I started out the morning with adequate energy, but when I got home it really started waning quickly.
I mixed up Lift and Mind in a 12 ounce glass, drank about a third of it and within a few minutes it was like flicking on the light switch and my usual zest that lasts all day returned!
I can’t imagine life without Lift and Mind or how people who don’t know about it or don’t use it get along! They are missing out!
It is so important to my life’s vitality and daily good living!
Thank you so much Michelle for your work at Life Priority!!

My sister told me about the Mind product from Life Priority because she was using it to help her kids focus in school. I have been thrilled by the results my children have been getting.

It also plays a vital role by increasing hydrochloric acid in the stomach because this type completely ionized allowing it to increase gastric acids for proper digestion.

  1. Cognitive Support: Certain supplements, like omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins, and antioxidants, can support cognitive function, memory, and mental clarity. They provide the essential nutrients required for optimal brain health.
  2. Mood Regulation: Some supplements, such as omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D, have been linked to mood regulation and may help manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress.
  3. Neuroprotection: Antioxidant supplements, like vitamin C and vitamin E, as well as anti-inflammatory compounds such as curcumin, may help protect brain cells from oxidative stress and inflammation, potentially reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
  4. Improved Concentration and Focus: Certain nootropics, caffeine, and L-Theanine can enhance alertness, focus, and attention, which can be especially beneficial for tasks that require mental clarity.
  5. Prevention of Cognitive Decline: While more research is needed, some supplements may play a role in reducing the risk of age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases when used as part of a comprehensive brain-healthy lifestyle.
  6. Enhanced Mental Energy: Supplements like acetyl-L-carnitine can help improve mental energy and reduce mental fatigue.
  7. Management of Brain Fog: For individuals with nutrient deficiencies contributing to brain fog, supplements can help alleviate cognitive symptoms and improve overall mental clarity.
  8. Optimal Brain Development: Certain supplements, like folate, are important during pregnancy and early childhood for proper brain development.

It’s important to emphasize that the effectiveness of these supplements can vary from person to person, and not all supplements are supported by robust scientific evidence. Additionally, supplements should be used with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare provider, as inappropriate or excessive use can be harmful.

A comprehensive approach to brain health should include a healthy diet, regular physical activity, mental stimulation, stress management, and adequate sleep. Supplements should complement these healthy lifestyle practices, not replace them. Before starting any supplement regimen for brain health, consult with a healthcare provider to assess your specific needs and ensure the supplements you are considering are safe and appropriate for you.

Who should take supplements for brain health?

The decision to take supplements for brain health should be made on an individual basis and in consultation with a healthcare provider. Not everyone needs or will benefit from brain health supplements, and their use depends on various factors, including one’s overall health, dietary habits, and specific cognitive concerns. Here are some considerations for individuals who might benefit from brain health supplements:

  1. Cognitive Concerns: If you are experiencing cognitive symptoms such as memory problems, brain fog, difficulty concentrating, or mood issues, you may consider supplements after consulting with a healthcare provider. These symptoms can sometimes be linked to nutrient deficiencies or other underlying health issues.
  2. Dietary Restrictions: Individuals with dietary restrictions, such as vegetarians or vegans, may benefit from supplements to ensure they receive essential nutrients like vitamin B12 and omega-3 fatty acids that are typically found in animal products.
  3. Specific Health Conditions: Certain medical conditions, like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, or multiple sclerosis, may warrant supplements as part of a broader treatment plan. In these cases, healthcare providers may recommend specific supplements to address cognitive symptoms.
  4. Nutrient Deficiencies: Individuals with known nutrient deficiencies, such as low vitamin D levels or anemia (iron deficiency), may require supplementation to address these deficiencies, which can impact cognitive health.
  5. Pregnant and Nursing Women: Pregnant and nursing women may need supplements, such as folic acid and prenatal vitamins, to support the developing brain of the fetus and the cognitive health of the mother.
  6. Elderly Individuals: Older adults may benefit from supplements that support cognitive function, as age-related changes can impact brain health. This includes nutrients like B vitamins, vitamin D, and omega-3 fatty acids.
  7. Individuals with Specific Medications: Some medications can deplete certain nutrients or interact with them, necessitating supplementation. For example, certain medications can affect the absorption of vitamin B12 or folate.
  8. Genetic Factors: Some individuals may have genetic variations that affect their ability to metabolize certain nutrients, such as folate. In such cases, healthcare providers may recommend specific forms of nutrients, like L-methylfolate.

It’s important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any supplement regimen for brain health. They can assess your specific health needs, monitor your progress, and ensure that the supplements you are considering are safe and appropriate for you. Additionally, the use of supplements should be guided by a healthcare provider to avoid potential interactions with medications and ensure that they do not exceed recommended dosages. A balanced diet, regular physical activity, mental stimulation, stress management, and adequate sleep are fundamental aspects of brain health and should not be overlooked. Supplements should complement these healthy lifestyle practices, not replace them.

When should you take supplements for brain health?

The timing for taking supplements for brain health can vary depending on the specific supplement, your individual health needs, and your healthcare provider’s recommendations. Here are some general guidelines for when and how to take supplements for brain health:

  1. Follow Healthcare Provider’s Advice: The most crucial step is to consult with a healthcare provider. They can assess your individual health status, recommend specific supplements if necessary, and provide guidance on the timing, dosage, and duration of supplementation.
  2. Timing with Meals: Many supplements are better absorbed when taken with meals. Taking supplements with food can also help reduce the likelihood of stomach upset or digestive issues. For example, fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin D and some minerals are often better absorbed when consumed with a meal that contains some fat.
  3. Consistency: Take your supplements consistently as recommended. Consistency is key to achieving the potential benefits of supplementation.
  4. Split Doses: In some cases, it may be more effective to split the dose of a supplement throughout the day. For example, water-soluble vitamins like vitamin C are often taken in divided doses to maintain stable blood levels.
  5. Avoid Interactions: Be aware of potential interactions between supplements and medications. Some supplements may interfere with the absorption or effectiveness of certain medications. Discuss potential interactions with your healthcare provider to ensure they are taken at different times if needed.
  6. Time of Day: Some people may prefer to take supplements at a specific time of day that works best for their routine. As long as you follow the healthcare provider’s recommendations and any specific instructions on the supplement label, the exact time of day can be flexible.
  7. Regular Monitoring: If you are taking supplements for a specific brain condition or cognitive concern, your healthcare provider may recommend periodic monitoring of your health status, including blood tests to assess nutrient levels or the impact of the supplements.
  8. Do Not Exceed Recommended Dosages: Avoid taking more than the recommended dosages of supplements. Excessive intake of certain vitamins and minerals can be harmful and may have adverse effects on brain health.
  9. Adjust for Special Circumstances: If you have special circumstances, such as pregnancy, a medical condition, or specific dietary restrictions, your supplement needs may change. Discuss any changes in your health status with your healthcare provider to ensure your supplementation remains appropriate.

What is pregnenolone and is it good for brain health?

Pregnenolone is a hormone and a precursor to other hormones in the body, including progesterone, DHEA, and various steroids. It is produced in the adrenal glands and the brain and plays a role in several physiological processes.

  1. Mood Enhancement: Pregnenolone may have mood-regulating properties and could potentially help with mood disorders like depression or anxiety.
  2. Cognition and Memory: Some research has suggested that pregnenolone may play a role in cognitive function and memory. It may enhance memory and cognitive performance.
  3. Stress Reduction: Pregnenolone may have a role in the body’s stress response, potentially helping to manage stress and its effects on cognitive function.
