Your brain is only 2% of your body weight — but it demands 20% of your energy. When it doesn't get the right nutrients, the signs show up quietly: forgetfulness, brain fog, slower thinking.
Most people blame age. Often, it's nutrition.
Dr. Norm breaks down the 5 nutrients your brain cannot afford to run low on — and why so many of us are deficient without knowing it.
I'm Dr. Norm Dawson — a retired chiropractor and 29-year USANA Brand Partner based in Corrales, New Mexico. For most of my career I helped people connect daily choices to how to defend against dementia naturally. When I retired from clinical practice, I didn't slow down. I redirected everything I'd learned toward the question that matters most right now: how do we protect our brains before it's too late?
That question became personal. I navigated profound hearing loss and received cochlear implants — a journey that gave me something no textbook could: I know what it's like to fight for your own cognitive vitality.

29-Year USANA Brand Partner — Nutritional consulting since 1996
Cochlear Implant Recipient — I've lived this, not just studied it
The Lancet Commission on Dementia Prevention, Intervention, and Care — one of medicine's most trusted research bodies — has shown that up to 45% of dementia cases may be preventable or delayed by addressing 14 modifiable risk factors, including hearing loss, high LDL cholesterol, physical inactivity, and social isolation.
I translate that research into plain language and practical action. Through one-on-one conversations, I help people understand what they can do right now, how to defend against dementia naturally.

If you're a health-conscious adult who wants to share products you believe in and build supplemental income — I'd love to show you what that looks like. I've been doing it for 29 years.
What if your income came from helping people protect their brain health?
Twenty-nine years ago, I started using USANA products for my own health. Then I started sharing them with patients. Then with friends and family. At some point I realized: this isn't just supplementation. This is a business built on trust, relationships, and something genuinely worth doing.
This tends to resonate with people who:
Already care deeply about health — their own or others'
Are 35+ and thinking about what purpose-driven work looks like in this season of life
Want income that doesn't require trading hours for dollars
Like the idea of building a team and helping others do the same
You don't need a medical background. You need integrity, curiosity, and a willingness to have real conversations.
USANA is a direct-sales company with a 30+ year track record and products sold in over 25 countries. As a Brand Partner, you earn income two ways:
Retail commissions — from customers who purchase products through your referral
Team income — USANA pays ongoing commissions when your customers reorder and as you build and support a team of Brand Partners
