Frequently Asked Questions

Which brain training is best for me?

There are several ways to begin your memory training.

Memory Tune™

Many people are using our premium online memory course, Memory Tune™. This validated and University-tested training gained outstanding results for people in the trials. It comes to you via email twice a week for seven weeks so you have the opportunity to complete the tasks in your own home and in your own time.Memory Tune™ covers all the vital memory types and gives you the tips and strategies you need as well as showing you clearly how memory works along with plenty of practice to help your memory improve.

John Burton Hunt“I think the Memory Tune course is brilliant.

The material has been carefully thought through providing a balance of information, stimulation and user friendliness. As I have learned and practiced what I can do to help me remember names, appointments etc., I have found myself with a new general feeling of alertness. ‘Memory Tunes’ is life-enriching!” John B-H.

 

Memory Tune™ is accompanied by ongoing newsletters, things to do to support good brain and memory health, and online help from Dr Allison Lamont and Gillian Eadie.

 

Brain Fit For Life™

Brainfit for Life classes  are face-to-face training in very convivial workshops where you are personally taught by an Accredited Brain Fit™ Coach. Sessions last for an hour and a half and are held over 4 weeks. This timing has proved very effective because there is time for practice and reflection between sessions.

Follow-up tasks and emails help with motivation. Again there is ongoing support through the newsletters which are always packed with information and memory activities.

There are several centres in New Zealand where Brainfit for Life classes are available and we look forward to these courses being available soon in international centres also.

“I am finding it all quite a challenge but wish to tell you that I am absolutely loving it.  Doing it together which makes it fun.  I feel that you have given me a new lease on life and am finding it hard to get to do much else. You haven’t only given me techniques – you’ve given me hope!” Margaret

Here is a quick guide:

Do you want a Real book or an eBook?
If you prefer a high-quality paperback book, two titles are available.

 

7 Day Brain Boost Plan - Physical Book

7-Day Brain Boost Plan is the latest glossy paperback and it covers the basic information you need about the brain and memory and practical tips for improving each type of memory. As the title suggests, 70+ pages are devoted to a day-by-day guide to the exercise, brain food and brain challenges you need to set yourself up for healthy brain habits. Each day spans from your wake-up stretches at 7 am (or when you usually arise) until supper and wind-down at 10 pm. This has been a very popular title because the larger print is easy to read, the plan is easy to follow and the entire focus is on creating a brain-healthy lifestyle.

What's the difference between Memory Tune and the 7-Day Brain Boost Plan?

The glossy paperback book, 7 Day Brain Boost Plan, provides a detailed, step-by-step plan to help readers develop a lifestyle that is conducive to brain health and a strong and healthy memory.

The 14-issue Memory Tune™, is the premium online memory course, not a book. Memory Tune™ is delivered via email and two issues are sent each week. Each takes about one hour to complete. These sessions are full of memory information and tips and strategies that will bring improvement and confidence to memory. This course has been tried and tested in university-based studies and people who have used it have found it very helpful indeed.

The 7-Day Brain Boost Plan and the Memory Tune™ course complement each other and many people use both to great effect.
