There are over 100 million nerve cells in our gut called the enteric nervous system. It’s also referred to as the “second brain” because it communicates with the brain in our heads and directly affects digestion, mood and the way we think. That’s why what we eat is so critical to the health of our brains! 🧠🍒🍏🍯

Happy St. Patricks Day from our family to yours!!

We were incredibly 🍀LUCKY🍀 to have the one and only for our monthly Lunch and Learn today!

We spent time discussing our individual strengths, as well as how those strengths can be leveraged to continue to grow as a team! 💪🏻

✅ We walked away with a better understanding of our unique strengths and how to better impact our Brain Balance community through our individual roles.

It was an absolute blast! Thank you so much, ! 💚

Beyond medication, how do we support the whole child? One potential answer lies in addressing the root cause. Creating stronger pathways in the brain through integrating sensory stimulation, physical activities, and visual and auditory exercises combined with healthy nutrition can be a powerful tool for parents and kids who are looking to not only address ADHD symptoms but improve overall well-being.

Congratulations, Avett! It has been so amazing to watch your growth throughout your Brain Balance journey. Each day you spent in the center, you brightened all of our days. We are so proud of you, and YOU should be so proud of yourself. Keep up the great work!

Hear from Regina about her son's inspiring Brain Balance journey. Positive social development is essential for many reasons. Not only will your child's ability to interact with others be critical well into adulthood, but social development is also imperative in relation to your child's language skills, self-esteem, and ability to resolve conflict.

The definition of progress is forward or onward movement toward a destination! Since each BB participant we work with is unique, each individual's progress is unique as well and comes in many different forms and moments. Tolerating socks, trying new foods, completing a math homework assignment independently, or leading a project at work are all examples of the type of progress and breakthroughs we see every day at Brain Balance.

When new pathways in the brain are formed, the brain’s ability to perform cognitive and physical tasks is improved. The strength and integration of our cognitive and physical skills build our ability to have successful executive functions - impacting our attention, decision-making and comprehension. We can notice these positive changes in our mood, memory, focus, behavior, social skills and relationships. These breakthroughs can be felt in the way we live and experience our daily lives.

“I stumbled upon this center while searching for something that could help our 11 year old son who struggles with executive functioning disorder (We have tried everything and our son was feeling so defeated with middle school). This center was so knowledgeable and compassionate as they listened and designed a program that was specifically tailored to him. Their staff truly cares about helping these struggling kids and is always available if we ever need any special support. Most importantly our son loves going! They make skill building fun for him-he feels better and we can see changes in him.”
