If Stephen Colbert tried it… Why wouldn't YOU?!

TV host Stephen Colbert demonstrates EEG data collection on an episode of the Colbert Report. Colbert is wearing the elastic electrode cap which uses individual electrodes (inside the white circles) to detect brainwave activity of different areas of the brain.

This is what we use at East Village NeuroFitness to develop a 360 brain map of our clients' brainwave activity. Book your appointment with us today! (Free Consultation!)

Happy MythBuster Friday! We hope this fun fact helps all you braniacs out there enjoying your post-Thanksgiving Day food coma!

"What probably makes people sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner is…DESSERT!… Eating carbohydrates increases brain serotonin in spite of the fact that there is no tryptophan in carbohydrates. So… Don't blame the turkey for your postprandial lethargy, instead give thanks for the abundance of drink and carbohydrate-rich, albeit slumber-inducing fare!"

Don't forget to book your appointment at East Village NeuroFitness this week & learn more about how your brain functions!

Your brain activity is as unique & identifying as a fingerprint! At East Village Neurofitness, we create individualized training programs because we believe that each and every one of our clients is unique.


Research published in the journal Nature Science discovered that "the ebb and flow of brain activity is like a fingerprint: each person has their own signature pattern… unique, with our own strengths, weaknesses and idiosyncrasies"
"Ultimately, we hope these profiles could someday be used in personalized medicine, a way to customize interventions and therapies for people based on their individual biology."

Check out the article on "Brain activity is as unique and identifying as a fingerprint"

Typically, researchers pool a bunch of brain scans to figure out the average way brains handle certain tasks. Instead, could they pick out individual brain profiles from a stack of 126 people's scans?

Chocolate, Pumpkin Seeds & Avocado?!… Check out these delicious food options to support your brain health!

1.) Oily Fish… Salmon, Mackerel, Herrings & Sardines are rich in Omega 3, an essential nutrient for the development and maintenance of brain tissue.

2.) Blueberries… High in Antioxidants and a rich source of Viitamin C, blueberries help guard against short term memory loss and can help aid co-ordination and balance. So don't forget to add some blueberries to your morning yogurt!

3.) Pumpkin Seeds… A rich source of Omega 3 oils and Zinc, pumpkin seeds help maintain the part of the brain that keeps sensory function intact. Who needs a better excuse then brain health to carve a pumpkin this halloween?!

4.) Avocado… Help facilitate blood flow to the brain and essential for keeping the mind alert and focused to concentrate on the stresses of the day. Avocados also help reduce overall blood pressure. Guacamole anyone?

5.) Chocolates… Yes, we saved the best for last! Eating a few squares of good quality dark chocolate everyday will improve memory and antioxidants. Try some quality milk chocolate to improve motor functions and reaction times.

"How do you know unless you look?…"

Cardiologists look at the heart, Neurologists look at the brain, and Chiropractors look at bone & joint health… "Psychiatrists are the only medical specialists who rarely [have the opportunity to] look at the brain." -Daniel Amen.

The video below recognizes that ADHD, Anxiety & Depression are NOT single or symptoms disorders of the brain, rather they all have multiple types. This means that two individuals that have BOTH been diagnosed with Depression may show completely different brain activity. At East Village NeuroFitness we look at an individual's brain activity using qEEG equipment. The information we gather will indicate whether the brain's activity is balanced, too little, or too much.

At East Village NeuroFitness, we treat the neurophysiological aspect of brain dysregulation and our treatments are tailored to the individual.
