(Em) Powering Minds
We believe that it's never too late to start a healthy brain approach.
Being proactive with intervention, preventative care and protection can often be overlooked or appear impossible, however this is not always the case. Although a patient typically presents when in the middle of a crisis - which can come at a great personal cost to the patient and their family - there is always hope for positive treatment.
Valuable herbs and nutrients along with dietary/lifestyle/attitudinal adjustments present a dual opportunity for brain support and protection.
For example, it is widely accepted that Bacopa, Ginkgo, Rhodiola and Vitamin D3 can enhance cognitive performance and reduce brain decline driven by the body's maladaptive stress responses.

These healthy lifestyle interventions cover acute mental performance demands, as well as changes at any life stage and can be utilised by assessing the following:
Clinical opportunities to prioritise brain health
- Mental and/or physical exhaustion and stress
- Mental performance, concentration and memory often presenting as 'brain fog'
- To help the body especially when under stress
- To increase general well-being and vitality
- Age related cognitive decline. Support the body's physiology during ageing by assisting endocrine function (insulin sensitivity and adrenal function), blood flow and mobility
- Cognitive and learning difficulties associated with:
- Epilepsy
- ADHD
- Autism
- Asperger's Syndrome
- Post-traumatic stress
- Exposure to environmental or chemical toxins including regularly taking prescribed medications or ingesting alcohol
The three key drivers of cognitive decline
- Stress
- Circulation
- Ageing
