Brain and Cognitive Health

Nourish Your Brain with the Building-Blocks It Requires

Brain and Cognitive Health

Your brain is effectively the central processor of your entire body. Brain health building is not just about memory. It encompasses all of your bodily functions. Just the prospect of managing that can be overwhelming. Think of it like growing a garden or completing a complex project. It’s a one step at a time proposition.
We review your nutrition, find alternatives for the things that might not be serving your goals. The supplementation profile is straightforward, but tailored to your specific needs. Better regulation of your sleep cycles and endocrine function are very important. Mindfulness meditation and breathing exercises are critical, so we work on simple routines to build better habits.

Acupuncture with the addition of NearInfraRed light (NIR) is an important part of re-balancing and re-regulating your system as well. It is a comprehensive plan that is more focused on a maintenance approach (visits 1-2x per month) for your ‘marathon’ ahead.

Brain Health = Longevity
The quality of your longevity is largely dependent on your brain function.
Brain health is heavily impacted by alcohol and drug use, especially over time. Cutting back makes a difference. Look for alternative drinks that actually benefit your brain, like those made with adaptogens or medicinal mushrooms.
Brain health is systems health. Taking steps at first signs of cognitive changes will help retain better brain and systems health over the long run.
Brain health is maintained through constant, intentional challenge. Try new things (puzzles, foods, places). Your brain thrives on adaptive challenges.
Natural medicine that encourages your cellular rebuilding and renewal processes will typically help support your brain health. There are many substances that are nutritive for the brain, but your underlying health conditions and medications must be considered.
Your routine lab work can reveal hidden factors that impact your long-term brain health. Some common medications can negatively impact your cognitive health.
Brain health is heavily dependent on nutrition. The quality and types of foods you eat day-in day-out make a long-term impact.

Your GI health and any medications impact your brain more than you may realize. Any positive change NOW can have long term benefits. It’s never too late.
