About Us
The Cognercise Foundation has been established to source, distribute and support important health and wellbeing promoting content that adheres to the principles of Cognercise and that has been proven to improve quality of life and reduce the potential of illness and suffering in the community.
Our Strategy
Our work is particularly inspired by UNESCO’s Kazan Action Plan Plan arising from the MINEPS VI Conference held in Kazan in July 2017. The Foundation supports the overarching policy consensus of the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda / Sustainable Development Goals recognized in that Plan.
Economic Burden
Billions of dollars are devoted annually to acute and chronic medical study and treatments, but there is little coordinated effort to alleviate the need for such effort and expense by teaching people how to be functionally healthy.
The global rise in preventable disease caused by ‘lifestyle’ issues such as inactivity, poor eating habits and stress have reached epidemic proportions causing more long-term disability and death than all other causes combined. “Unless serious action is taken, the burden of lifestyle disease will reach levels that are beyond the capacity of all stakeholders to manage” – WHO (2017).
Values – Ethics and Independence
The cornerstone of the Foundation will be the integrity of the information resented in-line with the pledge of the True Health Initiative.
We see the Foundation being a primary community resource for individuals to get trustworthy advice of a practical nature informed by the best knowledge sources available. Our focus will be on lifestyle practices that enhance Personal Health Literacy, providing all people with the practical means to achieve and maintain independent, healthy and productive lives.
We will focus on prevention first then cure and we will aim to practically reduce the need for medical intervention or pharmaceutical dependence.
The Foundation recognises that, like climate change, most informed people know what the health problems are and basically what is needed for change, but they consider that the problems belong to somebody else and, or, they can’t do anything about it.
The Foundation also believes that, although tailored and practical education can dramatically improve health outcomes, particularly in disadvantaged communities, the messages are often not being delivered effectively. This provision of honest and reliable information to educate the community will be a primary goal.
