    Let Your Brain Breathe

    Your brain isn’t like the rest of your body.

    Without a constant fresh supply of oxygen to your brain cells, they die. Plain and simple.

    And the longer it goes on, the greater your chances are of suffering from forgetfulness and brain fog.

    When that happens, you’ll start to cover your refrigerator with sticky notes – because you can’t remember anything without writing it down. You’ll pick up the phone, like you have a thousand times, to dial your daughter and suddenly forget her phone number. You’ll talk to someone and lose your train of thought in mid-sentence.

    But there’s good news…..

    Three Nutrients Help Your Hearing

    Patients who come to me with unwanted noise filling their head non-stop are among the most frustrated. You can’t sleep. You can’t read. It’s tough to concentrate on anything.

    Is Your Memory Failing?

    Is Your Memory Failing?

    They say forgetfulness is a sign of old age. But when “old age” starts may be earlier than you ever thought.

    In fact, I just saw a study the other day that said, as a normal part of aging, memory starts to decline at 37 on average, and things like reasoning, speed of thought, and spatial visualization start to go even earlier – at age 27.
