"When I was in the military, we referred to ‘left of boom’ as staying ahead of a potentially catastrophic event. For the first time ever, we have a way to stay ‘left of boom’ when it comes to our brain’s health and fitness – and it’s backed by a body of science that is growing by leaps and bounds. Cognitive neuroscience is where some of the most exciting, transformative discoveries are happening today."

Dr. Geoff Ling - What is Left of Boom?

Left of boom is a military term to prevent and protect from explosions – making proactive decisions ahead of time. When it comes to brain health, most people don’t think about it until something goes wrong – boom! By strengthening the brain’s health and function NOW – getting “left of boom” – we are giving ourselves protection to mitigate, overcome or even avoid some of the tough challenges that may lie ahead.
