The Surprising Link Between Leg Strength and Brain Health
For decades, modern wellness culture has separated the body and mind into two distinct arenas, as if muscles belonged to the gym and intelligence belonged to the library.

The Science Behind Training Your Brain to See the Positive
Human beings are natural storytellers, meaning-makers, pattern seekers. Yet for generations we were told that our brains were largely fixed by adulthood, that our personality, habits, emotional tendencies and even our worldview were essentially set in stone. Today, neuroscience is showing us something radically different. Our brains remain malleable, adaptive and incredibly responsive throughout life.…
How Happy Music Helps You Recover From Motion Sickness

Breakfast tables hold a simple secret that might protect aging brains. Scientists spent nearly seven years tracking over 1,000 older adults, recording what they ate and watching who developed dementia. Results revealed something remarkable about a common food most people already keep in their refrigerators. One egg per week. Such a small dietary change. Yet…
Study Confirms That Adults Can Grow New Brain Cells and They Found the Source
What if the brain were less like a fixed circuit board and more like a lush garden capable of sprouting new growth, even in the later seasons of life? For generations, scientists believed that we entered adulthood with all the brain cells we’d ever have. Like a clock that ticks only toward decline, the adult…
