People who exercise do better on memory tests. And it’s also true that, when you exercise, you experience an endorphin high and feel great. Moreover, you increase your brain’s blood supply and create a compound called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, that induces nerve cells to grow, branch out, and make connections with one another — all signs of an ageless brain. 1

This groundbreaking study, however, explains specifically what exercise does within the brain. Exercise, it was revealed, targets a region of the brain within your memory center known as the dendate gyrus, which underlies age-related memory decline. Exercise increases blood flow to this all-important anatomical area and grows new brain cells. Exercise transforms stem cells into fully-grown, functional neurons right where they’re needed most. 2 (continue reading…)

As mothers of young boys, Eleni Prokopeas and Stacey Stultz knew they had the power to help their sons with challenges related to Autism.

It made sense to (continue reading…)
