A Mayo Clinic study showed that adults fear dementia more than death.  If you tell your patients that Alzheimer’s can be prevented in 70 percent of patients and delayed up to 10-15 years in people who are genetically predisposed, you’ll get their attention (source: The Anti-Alzheimer’s Prescription by Vincent Fortanasce, M.D., Gotham Books, 2008).

Super Noggin is a comprehensive brain fitness program designed to promote lifestyle choices that contribute to good general health, including good cognitive health.  Our program educates, motivates, and tracks the progress of participants as they engage in:

• cognitive challenges
• physical exercise
• good nutrition
• stress reduction
• social interaction
• personal reflection

Using what we know about neuroplasticity and neurogenesis, we have designed the Super Noggin program to help participants LEARN how to become proactive in their health and to follow a
year-long series of fun, engaging activities to PRACTICE components of a healthy lifestyle while they TRACK their improvement and progress.

Published results of studies over the past decade in journals like Neurology, Nutrition Journal, Archives of Internal Medicine, Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, Lancet, New England Journal of Medicine, American Journal of Epidemiology, JAMA and others confirm the effects of lifestyle choices on the aging process.  And sometimes interventions bring surprisingly rapid improvements!  If you are interested in a bibliography of references on this topic, contact us. 

Super Noggin was developed by LEAF Ltd., a private foundation and 501(c)3 nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting intellectual wellness.
