Our Focus

Here at The Cortex, our focus is to make science more easily digestible. In order to promote better physical and mental health, science must be accessible and easily understood. Currently, studies are often deemed as a difficult to approach. Further, they are often read and forgotten. We would like to offer an easy understanding of various studies and how we can incorporate their outcomes into daily practice.
