Findings from Our Work with Clients January 6, 2008
By Susan Hardwicke, Ph.D.

At the center, we learn as much from our clients as they do from us. Over the years, we've built a substantial compendium of knowledge about making positive change for better performance of the mind and brain. Here are our top five lessons learned:

1. The Number 1 way to improve your brain (memory, speed, quality of thought) is to improve your diet and add the right supplements for your individual needs. This means eliminating harmful foods and chemicals and adding more protein and healthy fats.

2. Everyone's brain can improve, despite whatever information to the contrary appears in the media. (This week's Parade magazine had an article on the "natural" decline in memory and the "natural" shrinkage of the brain-- I can site numerous research to refute this.) The brain is like a muscle that can grow and change throughout life.

3. Today's environment and the demands of school and work are taxing the brain even as less nourishment is being supplied by our food sources.

4. The electrical activity measured in specific areas of the brain provides valuable information about problems and how to improve.

5. Training specific mental skills can improve anyone's brain (and often, behavior) substantially.

Use these lessons learned for your benefit!
