Is Playtime Anti-Aging to the Brain?

As we age, many of us have a fatal flaw that can lead to a fatal fall -- we lose our balance, stability and coordination. Stephen Jepson says he can change that for everyone. And as a bonus, he believes it can help you build brain cells, develop neural pathways and prevent or delay Alzheimer's and dementia.

What is his prescription? Play!

Stephen believes the key to never losing your balance -- or your mind -- is in the games and activities of our youth. Wait until you see his incredible playground!

Rebuilding Sidney Crosby’s Brain

"It’s only been weeks ... and 249 days since Crosby sustained the first of two head shots that caused his concussion. That hit, which happened during the annual Winter Classic on New Year’s Day, was a blow unlike any the hockey world had ever experienced: the best player since Wayne Gretzky was suddenly knocked out of the game indefinitely because of an invisible injury: no blood on the ice, no cracks on any X-rays and no way to know how bad was the damage done."
