Change Your Body, Change Your Mind, Change Your Life.

Now more than ever it is important that we embrace wellness. Routine exercise is the first step. When we exercise we create new neurons (neurogenesis), create new, (and reorganize) connections (neuroplasticity), and release neurotransmitters that improve brain function (neurochemistry). According to Juliette Tocino-Smith, MSc.* ten neurological benefits of exercise are:

Decreased stress
Decreased social anxiety
Improved processing of emotions
Prevention of neurological conditions
Euphoria (short-term)
Increased energy, focus and attention
Hinderance to the aging process
Improved memory
Improved blood circulation
Decreased ‘brain fog’
