Brain Fitness & Peak Performance
Improve brain fitness & maximize your cognitive potential for peak performance
You may want to train your brain like you train your body in the gym: to maximize your mental fitness You may want to rise to the ‘Mensa Challenge’, and aim for a high IQ of over 130. For more on Mensa requirements, click here.
Either way, you will benefit from our High IQ Pro® software. It trains what is the mental equivalent of our ‘core strength’ – our fluid intelligence.
Gyms and brain gyms
Athletes have known for a long time that athletic performance benefits from both overall fitness, and targeted training that has a scientific basis. Science has revolutionized sporting achievement. The same approach is now being applied to the mind as well as the body.
- Cognitive performance depends on brain function.
- The brain is a physical organ, and like other organs or muscles in the body it can be trained to be fitter, more efficient and more powerful.
- Your intelligence – measured by IQ tests – is not just your ability to solve complex problems: it is a measure of your overall brain fitness.
Tap into 80/20 efficiency
High levels of intelligence enable us to tap into the Pareto Principle, also known as the 80/20 rule. According to this principle around 80% of the effects come from 20% of causes. A higher intelligence enables you to identify the critical 20% of factors in any challenge or problem that produce 80% of the results. Put another way, 20% effort give 80% results.

Why High IQ Pro® works for brain fitness & peak performance
There are two ways the brain can increase functional efficiency and brain power:
- Brain plasticity – the ability of brain to reorganise itself by growing new brain cells or connections.
- Energy supply to the brain – particularly when it’s working hard.
High IQ Pro® IQ increasing software targets the brain’s inherent plasticity, and enables more cognitive work to be performed for less energy. In increasing your intelligence, our software literally re-engineers the IQ related neural circuitry in your brains. Evidence shows that regular training with our IQ increasing software results in brain plasticity effects in the pre-frontal cortex – a brain region at the core of intelligence. [related article]

Combine brain training with physical fitness & brain foods for peak performance
We recommend combining High IQ Pro® training with exercise and brain foods. Scientists have shown that brain foods and exercise work synergistically, tapping into common cellular pathways for brain plasticity, learning and memory.
Physical exercise
Regular physical exercise (walking, jogging, cycling, swimming) is known to be effective in:
- The prevention of hyper-tension, heart disease, cancer, type II diabetes, osteoporosis and depression.
- Stimulating brain plasticity and improving brain function & cognitive performance throughout the lifespan.
- Regular exercise on some measures results in 2-3 times as many new neurons being produced by the brain.
- A physically active lifestyle can also prevent or delay loss of cognitive efficiency with aging, and neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s.
Brain foods
Brain nutrition can also have a direct impact on brain plasticity and cognitive efficiency.
- Several natural brain foods and brain supplements [table] have been shown in laboratory tests to promote brain plasticity and improve brain function & cognitive efficiency.
- The supplement creatine has been shown to substantially improve fluid intelligence and IQ.
- A diet high in saturated fat and sugar (junk foods), not only increases risk of cardio-vascular disease and cancer, but sharply reduces brain cell growth and speeds up cognitive decline.
