The Brain is a Poet

Reuben, Oxygen Therapy Director at Oasis Family Medicine, recently attended the Learning & The Brain conference in San Francisco, where the topic was how brain health and cultivating creativity in brain function leads to innovations in society.

As if we did not already know, the latest neuroscience has shown that the brain biologically evolved to interpret sensory stimuli through story narratives. The better the story, the more we respond to the environment we are in and the people we come into contact with.

The Brain is a Poet, weaving stories of compassion and inspiration that transform sensory impulses into meaningful moments, becoming memories we cherish forever.

Join Reuben on Monday, March 5, 2018 at 6 pm as he shares how  NeuroFeedback Therapy can help give voice to your inner Poet.

Bugs help us Think Straight

First, let’s start off with an on-topic joke: 

Adult: You are getting on my last nerve!

Child: What happened to the other nerves?

How do bugs help us think straight? …

Research continues to explore the intimate relationship between the gastrointestinal tract and the brain.  Numerous studies have gone so far as to connect gut-friendly microbes or probiotics to improved mood and brain function.  This notion is true for diabetics, as their metabolic disturbances can negatively impact brain function, including memory and learning.  When used in animal models, probiotic supplementation was shown to actually reverse deterioration of brain function through the bacteria’s ability to improve synaptic function.  Of course, not all probiotics are created equal, so make sure to use a high quality source.
