Boost Your BRAIN

We often hear patients say "I feel scattered, I can't concentrate, my memory just isn't what it used to be." As naturopaths, we encourage optimal health and brain function through healthy eating, exercise, colon cleansing and finding fulfillment in one's life through healthy relationships and joyful living. Creating joy and fulfillment may include going beyond one's comfort zone and joining an interest group, taking an art class at a local community college, or volunteering at a homeless shelter. Participating in new activities helps expand the mind and keeps our brains functioning well.

The website www.lumosity.com is worth checking out for their popular "brain training games." Lumosity's cognitive training exercises have been scientifically evaluated and shown to be effective. The website boasts that its users have clear and quicker thinking, improved memory, enhanced alertness and awareness, elevated mood and improved concentration at work. Professional neuroscientists have developed these brain games based on the notion of neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to learn and adapt to appropriate stimuli.

ALETRIS physicians offer so much more than just lab testing, diagnosis and treatment. We evaluate patients based on their physical, mental/emotional and spiritual health. At ALETRIS, we believe creating joy and optimizing brain function are equally as important as physical health.
