World Mental Health Day 2025: How Our Environment Shapes Brain Health
Reading Time: 14 minutes. Our surroundings are not neutral backdrops; they actively shape the way our brains grow and age. The constant assault of urban noise and polluted air inflames the nervous system, disrupts sleep, and drives up rates of anxiety and depression. On the other hand, when we raise children near parks and trees,…
Is ADHD a Disability?
Reading Time: 13 minutes. Nearly 4.4% of adults worldwide live with ADHD, yet confusion persists about its classification as a disability. You’ll find that ADHD meets legal disability criteria when it substantially limits major life activities and affects an individual’s abilities to perform everyday activities. This distinction significantly affects workplace accommodations, educational support, and legal…
Unlocking Brain Health: Strategies for Vitality and Growth
Reading Time: 6 minutes. Our brains possess remarkable neuroplasticity, enabling continuous growth and adaptation throughout life. We can enhance cognitive function through targeted strategies, including quality sleep, stress management, and mentally stimulating activities. Neuroimaging research confirms that lifestyle interventions strengthen neural pathways and support cognitive resilience. We will reveal our neural potential by prioritising brain health through evidence-based…
Navigating Brain Health: Insights on Emotion and Choice
Reading Time: 6 minutes. Our brain’s health depends on the complex interplay between seven sensory gateways, the prefrontal cortex, and the limbic system. We constantly process information through our eyes, ears, nose, and mouth, while our prefrontal cortex manages decisions and our limbic system handles emotions. Through proper nutrition, stress management, and emotional regulation, we…
Understanding Brain Health: Definitions and Implications
Reading Time: 7 minutes. Brain health is a complex, multi-dimensional concept that I’ve found extends far beyond the traditional “healthy vs diseased” binary model. It encompasses cognitive fitness, emotional regulation, and social connectedness across your lifespan. Modern research shows that up to 45% of cognitive decline is preventable through targeted interventions, while resilience mechanisms and…
Boosting Brain Health Through Purpose and Connection
Reading Time: 8 minutes. Your brain thrives on purposeful engagement and meaningful social connections. Research shows that maintaining strong relationships can reduce dementia risk by up to 48%, whilst purpose-driven activities stimulate neuroplasticity and create new neural pathways. You’ll boost cognitive resilience through community involvement, creative pursuits, and regular face-to-face interactions. When combined with proper…
No Moisture Treatment (NMT): The Controversial Yet Effective Approach to Skin Healing
Reading Time: 8 minutes. No Moisture Treatment (NMT) challenges traditional skincare by intentionally removing external moisture, triggering your skin’s intrinsic healing capabilities. Developed by Dr Kenji Sato, this approach proposes that constant moisturising disrupts natural barrier reconstruction. You’ll stimulate cellular metabolism and hormonal regulation, encouraging your body’s regenerative mechanisms through strategic interventions. Your skin can…
Hormones and The Brain: Achieving Balance For Optimal Health
Reading Time: 14 minutes. Hormones, the body’s chemical messengers, play a crucial role in maintaining physiological harmony and optimal health. They impact various biological processes, including metabolism, growth and development, mood regulation, sexual function, and cognition. Hormones have a profound influence on the body’s systems, so it is unsurprising that they also play a significant…
