We are the FIRST and ONLY Brain Restore Center in CT

Trilogy Health & Performance LLC

In acknowledgment of Brain Injury Awareness month, we are excited to announce the opening of our new clinic, the FIRST and ONLY Brain Restore Center in all of Connecticut. Brain Restore Centers is a nationwide initiative, lead by experts across every medical speciality to finally tackle the problem of concussion, brain injury and cognitive decline rapidly increasing across our country. While Brain Injury and Cognitive Decline is on the rise in our country, our clinic is offering Free Advanced FDA-approved RightEye Exam to all Connecticut residents in an attempt to help give people in our communities a detailed deep dive into understanding the “WHY” behind what they are experiencing. Many members of our communities silently struggle with lingering symptoms of head injuries, PTSD, brain fog, depression, anxiety, and memory loss, and we want to give back by providing hope and help through real, science-backed brain health solutions. This community is part of a nationwide initiative supported locally to raise awareness about the brain’s ability to heal through modern therapies such as neurofeedback EEG detailed functional brain scan, low-level laser therapy, Neuro-rehabilitation Exercises, and neuro-functional medicine. We have been optimizing this treatment system over the last 10 years and are so grateful to finally be able to share it with our communities and loved ones. https://brainrestorecenters.com/ 49 Randolph Rd, Middletown, Connecticut 860-365-9445 info@trilogyhnp.com

<a href="https://jr-ranger.org/2026/angira-30a1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Angira as a young Jr. Ranger Contestant raising funds for National Wildlife Federation</a>Dear readers,

Hi! My name is Angira Bhattacharya and I’m an 8-year-old from our community who is working on something really important to me, and I’d love to share my story with you.

I am participating in the Jr. Ranger 2026 competition, where I’m raising money for the National Wildlife Federation. Votes help me move forward, and when people choose the paid voting option, they are also donating to NWF and helping protect animals and nature.

I truly love nature . I think it’s full of wonder, beauty, and magic. This campaign is giving me a chance to do something real to help animals, learn more about the environment, and grow as a young changemaker. For me, it’s not just about winning a title , it’s about making a difference.

If I win, I will also receive $20,000, and I want to give back by sharing it with West District Elementary School, my town library , which helped me learn so much about animals, and the Farmington land trust for maintaining the beautiful trails and hikes in my area.

I also love dancing ballet and jazz, and playing soccer. It is fun scoring goals and being part of a team!

I hope my story can inspire others in our community to care about animals and nature. Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
