Over two years ago, Corey came to Aviv Clinics struggling with memory issues, brain fog, depression, and other cognitive challenges. At the time, he’d dropped out of law school, moved back in with his family, and was barely leaving the house.

Through in-depth medical assessments, our team discovered that Corey’s struggles were rooted in damage to his brain tissue, caused in part by multiple concussions he endured playing sports as a child. He spent 12 weeks in our holistic Aviv Medical Program, designed to support brain damage recovery and restore cognitive function.

Now, more than two years later, Corey is a new man. He’s happy, working again, engaged, and a homeowner—all dreams he once feared weren’t possible.

“I’m the best I’ve been in 10, 12 years,” Corey says. Concussion and TBI recovery is possible.

Did you know women have a higher risk of being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease? 🧠

Emerging research suggests a possible explanation: women with Alzheimer’s were found to have significantly lower blood levels of healthy unsaturated fats, particularly omega-3 fatty acids, compared to women without the disease. This difference was not seen in men.

Omega-3s are critical for brain cell structure, communication, and inflammation regulation — highlighting how nutrition can support long-term cognitive health.

While more research is needed, these findings offer hope for prevention and could be a helpful addition to your daily supplement intake for you or the women in your life. As always, make sure to consult your physician before starting any new supplement.

Last weekend, we had the pleasure of opening our doors to the community for our Fuel Your 2026 Open House. We were honored to host members of The Villages Mustang Club and Mopar Club, whose energy and passion added excitement and inspiration to the day. Thank you to everyone who joined us, connected with our clinicians and team, and took the time to learn more about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and the Aviv Medical Program. We’re grateful to be part of your journey toward a healthier year ahead!

If you haven’t had the chance to see our clinic in person yet, we’d love to invite you to join us on February 2 for an inside look at our Clinic Close-Up. Register here: https://aviv-clinics.com/event/clinic-close-up-2/

Heart and lung capacity can decline by up to 50% with age, but with the right training, it doesn’t have to.

Cardiorespiratory fitness is one of the strongest predictors of long-term health, independence, and longevity; and it’s something we can measure and improve at any stage of life.

At Aviv, we use Cardio-Pulmonary Exercise Testing (CPET) to understand how efficiently your body uses oxygen, from your heart and lungs to your muscles. One of the key metrics we assess is VO₂max, a powerful indicator of endurance, resilience, and overall performance.

What you can start doing right now:
• Move daily — even brisk walking improves oxygen delivery
• Add short bouts of higher intensity (when appropriate)
• Strength train — muscle supports oxygen utilization
• Prioritize recovery — progress happens when you rest

At Aviv, expert-guided physical training can be combined with our unique Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy protocol to create a truly comprehensive approach. Research shows that HBOT can support improvements in strength, endurance, and VO₂max by enhancing oxygen delivery, cellular energy production, and tissue recovery.

We’re proud to begin the year with this milestone and remain committed to delivering care that is comprehensive, science-driven, and held to the highest external standards.

Did you know that after age 30, we lose about 2% of our muscle every year? This gradual loss can impact not just strength and mobility, but also brain health and overall longevity.

Muscle plays a critical role in protecting overall health as we age. Maintaining muscle mass helps regulate blood sugar, reduces inflammation, and lowers the risk of chronic disease. Strong muscles also improve balance and stability, helping prevent falls and preserving independence.

Research shows that loss of muscle mass is one of the strongest predictors of early mortality, while regular physical activity is closely linked to better cognitive function and a lower risk of cognitive decline. In other words, muscle doesn’t just support movement — it supports the brain.

At Aviv Clinics, strength training is a key pillar of our comprehensive, personalized program. As we explore in our blog, exercise plays a direct role in brain health, neuroplasticity, and healthy aging.

Alcohol interferes with the brain’s signaling systems that support memory, focus, mood, and sleep. It can disrupt deep, restorative sleep and affect how efficiently the brain processes and stores information. Over time, regular alcohol use has been associated with changes in brain function, emotional regulation, and cognitive performance.

The encouraging part? Taking a break from alcohol can help reset many of these systems.

Research shows that even a short period without alcohol may lead to:

• Better sleep quality and more consistent energy
• Improved focus, clarity, and memory
• More stable mood and emotional regulation
• Reduced stress on the brain and body
• Improved gut health and digestion

That’s why many people choose Dry January, a science-backed opportunity to step away from alcohol, observe changes, and better support long-term brain and body health.

👉 Read our blog to explore the science behind Dry January and learn how a short break from alcohol can benefit your brain and body.

Healthy habits aren’t just about discipline — they’re about neuroscience.

Every time you repeat a behavior, your brain strengthens the neural pathways that support it. Over time, those pathways become more efficient, making healthy choices feel more automatic and less effortful.

At Aviv Clinics, we use advanced brain assessments and our comprehensive program to help support neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to adapt, rewire, and improve function at any age.

Because lasting habits start in the brain.

Happy New Year from all of us at Aviv Clinics. Here’s to a year of vitality and better brain and body health in 2026.

Let us know your intentions for the year in the comments! ⬇️
