Congratulations Dr. Korkor!
We are so proud of our Founder, Dr. Adel Korkor, for his first TEDx Talk as part of TEDxOcala at the College of Central Florida where he speaks on his personal journey with Mental Health. His experience is now supported by numerous scientific studies and research, hence supporting his view that “Motion Impacts Emotion”.
Brain Science & Physical Activity
Our newest initiative, Why Move? brings together brain science and physical activity, in the best possible ways. Why Move? is piloting a new approach that sees kids developing a habit of being more active while learning about their brain and emotions. Couple that knowledge with strategies for developing mindfulness, kindness, and compassion towards others, and you’ve forged a stronger foundation for a healthy life. We’re bringing the Why Move? initiative to 15 states in 2023, for a two-year pilot program. Our dream of bringing Why Move? to every school district in the nation is a long-term goal. One of our partners in Why Move? is Fit Kids.Â
