How To Stay On Top Of Your Game And Boost Your Mental Performance

If you’ve noticed a dip in your work/life balance, you’re not alone. Busy schedules, aging, weight gain, and even andropause can make you feel like you’ve lost your touch.

That’s where performance rejuvenation comes into the picture. Performance rejuvenation isn’t just limited to athletes — busy professionals, including entrepreneurs, executives, and those working in tech, military, special forces, and government spaces can also benefit from it.

Read on as the Performance Rejuvenation Center shares tips to boost your mental performance and how anti-aging treatments can help you get on top of your game.

What is sabotaging your mental performance?

There are many reasons why you might not feel quite like yourself. Common culprits include:

Chronic stress
Hormonal imbalances, including low testosterone
Andropause
Intense physical labor
Poor sleep
Anxiety and depression
Poor diet

Once you’ve identified the source of your mental and physical exhaustion, you can start to make a plan to get back to feeling like yourself. You may even find that several factors combined zap your energy.

How to boost your mental performance

Boosting your mental performance requires a multi-faceted approach. The following strategies can help you stay on top of your game:

Stress management

All professions carry some stress, but certain roles are more intense than others, including military, special forces, government, and first responders. It's even more important to do what you can to manage stress after work if you’re in a high-stress career. Recovery activities can help you relax after work.

Set aside time to engage in your recovery activity after each shift. Stress-relieving activities include physical activities like jogging, lifting weights, going for a walk, or playing tennis. Reading, listening to calming music, and deep breathing can also help reduce cortisol. Scheduling these activities after work can help you decompress after a long day at the office.

Practice good sleep hygiene

Sleep isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity, and if you’re low on sleep, your mental capacity might suffer. Strive for at least seven to nine hours of quality sleep each night.

Eat nutrient-dense foods

What you eat also plays a role in your performance. Fuel your brain with foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, phytochemicals, and antioxidants.

Brain-healthy foods include:

Fatty fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as sardines, salmon, and mackerel
Leafy green vegetables like spinach, kale, and broccoli
Berries
Nuts and seeds
100% whole grains
Avocados
Dark chocolate
Eggs
Turmeric
Green tea

Not only do these foods nourish your brain, but they’re good for your overall health.

Balance your hormones

If hormone imbalances are contributing to brain fog and poor mental performance, Performance Rejuvenation Center may recommend hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or testosterone therapy. HRT can help reduce symptoms of low testosterone, such as brain fog and fatigue.

Consider anti-aging therapies

Peptides are short chains of amino acids, and peptide therapy uses various peptides to help combat decreased energy levels.
