Regardless of a high cognitive understanding, i believe that where people are living their lives to their values and enjoying it, they will be freed from over the top stress and left with that much more energy and enjoyment of whatever they do, which leads in itself to advancing brain health.

Tori: I don't find it that concerning, it is the nature of every emerging field, and the simplistic tendency to look for magic pills. I think demand will gradually grow more sophisticated, and we are doing our best to contribute to that end. The physical fitness analogy is the best we have found so far to explain what is happening, but feel free to offer others!

Mental Math? On a more serious note, thanks for the webinar yesterday. I have several pages of notes to review, and will exercise some mental muscles whilst doing that.
