Understanding Brain Health
Brain health refers to how well a person’s brain functions across several areas. Aspects of brain health include:
Aspects of brain health
- Cognitive Health:
- How well you clearly think, learn, and remember. It is an important component of performing everyday activities.
- Motor Function:
- How well you make and control movements, including balance
- Emotional Function:
- How well you interpret and respond to emotions (pleasant and unpleasant)
- Tactile Function:
- How well you feel and respond to sensations of touch
Brain health can be affected by age-related changes in the brain, injuries such as stroke or traumatic brain injury, mood disorders such as depression, substance use disorder or addiction, and diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease. While some factors affecting brain health cannot be changed, there are many lifestyle changes that might make a difference.

Testimonials
What People Say
— Chris Vercelli, 5 out of 5 starsI’m a health practitioner who has worked with many of Dr. Harvey’s patients, and the feedback I’ve gotten from them about his care is wonderful. He is very well educated and very good at developing treatment plans for a variety of health problems. His approach to healthcare is SO needed in this world of cookie cutter “medicine”, and even if you only went to him for a second opinion, it’d be well worth it. Thanks for all you do Doc! God bless!
— Kenn R., 5 out of 5 starsDr. Harvey is head-and-shoulders above any other medical practitioner we have encountered. When we first came to Sarasota, he gave my wife and me the most thorough physical exams we had ever had, ordering very different sets of blood tests for each of us based on his extensive initial questioning. From the blood tests, he figured out right away what had baffled my previous family doctor, and a high-dollar hematologist, and corrected my problem using simple dietary changes. With his help, my wife got off medications she had needed for decades. …Dr. Harvey is just a delightful, open person and a pleasure to work with.
— Judith Harding, 5 out of 5 starsI’ve been a patient of Dr. Harvey’s for several years, something like seven years. He always has a very knowledgeable and supportive staff. Recently, I had a very quick and hard fall that changed my life drastically. Dr. Harvey and his staff, especially Haylee, Kerry, and Tracy have helped me through some dark days. I am so grateful for their support. I can see there is hope for me to have continued good health and quality of life.
— Susan Miller, 5 out of 5 starsBest people in the world! Sweetest people! Doing the best job anyone can do on the planet present or future. Everyone here is an angel
