Your brain is the foundation for everything you do: your thoughts, actions, reactions; it controls your body’s ability to receive nutrients, regulate blood pressure and circulation, healing, hormones, the brain guides it all. If our brain is not processing optimally, then all sorts of other areas will be affected, mentally, emotionally, physically and even spiritually.

What’s that saying? “We don’t know, until we know.” Well, “Now we know.” Through the discovery of neuroplasticity in the brain, we finally understand that we can maximize brain function, and thus our quality of life and health. Life stressors, aging, we’ve all seen it in those around us, and are even experiencing it ourselves. The trials and challenges of life have worn us down. We don’t feel as mentally sharp, our physical health, memory and focus start declining. The accumulation of life stressors causes us to be easily triggered and reactive. 

We know the value of eating healthy and training our bodies, and we also know that to only exercise every now and then or to eat healthy every now and then isn’t going to give us the health, healthy weight or physique that would give us optimum health. The same goes for our brain.  There’s also that saying, “If you don’t use it, you lose it.” Do you try to make healthy food choices and intend to get in regular exercise, or be patient with your kids and partner, and do that extra project that will help you get closer to your dreams, but find it difficult to be consistent and stay the course? We’ve been there.

That’s the amazing thing about brain training. To train our brain and give it the support it needs for optimal functioning has the ripple effect, in helping us experience more restful sleep, to have more energy and motivation to do the workout or just the walk, and we are emotionally stronger and more focused to make that healthy food grab instead of the emotional one that we regret later (not only for what it did to our body, but also for what it did to our finances), and we are automatically able to be more patient, calm and understanding with our families and in the workplace. And we can keep the focus that helps us pursue our dreams and stay the course. When our brain is functioning optimally, it can send the correct messages to the cells in our body, so that it can receive the nutrients from our foods or supplements, maximize our metabolism and increase muscle mass from our workouts, overcome illness, not to mention, enhance memory, focus, clarity, energy, and quality of sleep, the ability to handle stress and operate out of a space of clarity and centeredness.
