Improve Sleep & Decrease Anxiety

Neurofeedback is a guided exercise for the brain that is holistic, all-natural, and 100% non-invasive. It teaches your brain how to make more of the perfect processing speed and less of the too fast-processing speed.

Those who struggle with anxiety make too much fast-processing speed called High Beta. When you live in high High Beta you can feel anxiousness, irritability, or overwhelm, you react instead of respond and need something to calm your brain.

Some turn to favorite game, a favorite show, a nap, or a drink to “release” those feelings of overwhelm. In overwhelm, your brain makes a slower processing speed which causes exhaustion, overwhelm, and boredom.

When this happens, our brains are using the 2 extreme speeds (too fast AND too slow.) Brains that use the extreme sides of processing speeds are fatigued, exhausted, burnt out and cannot get restorative sleep.

Through neurofeedback, we bring the extreme speeds down and we bump up the perfect processing speeds that promote calm and focus, giving the brain a better, healthier pattern to follow.

Anxiety and the Pandemic

This past year has been difficult in a lot of ways no matter your age. Our normalcy has been stolen from us and has profoundly affected the way we will live from here on out. The pandemic has squashed the entire concept of consistency and structure for everyone. And with the year we’ve just had, every one has experienced harm to their brain. Fear has caused harm to our brain in major ways.

What is right? What is wrong? What is real? Who do we believe?

Studies* show that anxiety is on the rise because of these unprecedented times and we want to reverse that harm! Our brains have experienced a strange time over the last year. And those who had the anxiety brain pattern before COVID-19 have been building on an already unhealthy pattern.

Patterns do not go away. They only get worse with time and added stress. The brain runs every thing psychologically. The fear and stress of the pandemic have increased the likelihood of anxiety brain patterns and caused a massive decline in our mental health.

Join us in promoting mental health and healthy brain patterns! We want to help you reverse the harm we have all experienced in the last year.

*A few studies mentioned above:

Hebb's Law

Hebb’s Law is the law that when neurons fire together, they wire together. In a less scientific example, birds of a feather, flock together.

Your brains creates neural pathways as it works throughout the day. When using the anxiety pattern, you are hardwiring that pattern in! The more you continue in that pattern, the more you hardwire it.

Think of it as a road. When the brain is using an anxiety pattern, it is off course, or "off-roading.” And according to Hebb’s Law, the brain is memorizing that off-road course.

But what can hurt you (Hebb’s Law) is also the key to success! You can create a new path that produces calm and focus! We have to get back to the main road and our brains can start to memorize the new way.

Our brain can actually FORGET the anxiety off-road pattern by getting back on the right road! Amazing!

So how do we get our brain to recognize the right road?

Neurofeedback!

Through our BrainCore software and custom protocols for each patient, the brain can teach itself! The computer aids the brain in reducing the excessive fast speeds and increasing the calm, focus speeds, therefore eliminating the anxiety pattern.

You can chart a whole new course for your life. There is truly nothing like this!

ADHD & Neurofeedback - What Does Medication Actually Fix?

The first “treatment” or “fix” for ADHD is stimulant medication. While many stimulants can be affective for all ages of those with ADHD, there are many potential side effects and considerably high remission rates when continuing or stopping the medication.

So what does medication actually fix?

According to a recent study by Applied Psychophysiology and Biofeedback, the efficacy, or success, of neurofeedback in individuals with ADHD is rated considerably higher than that of medications. The study also gives evidence of continued and sustainable change 6-12 months after the treatment in those who chose neurofeedback.

According to the APA’s finding, when going the traditional medical route, there is a 56-68% remission rate. All the while, the remission rates were as low as 32% for neurofeedback treatment of ADHD!

“Remission rates were clearly highest for the MTA medication arms (56–68%), albeit with decreasing effect sizes at follow-up whilst medication use was continued. The remission rates for neurofeedback (32–47%) in this context are reassuring, and there is the clear finding that effects of neurofeedback are sustained without further treatment. A further advantage of neurofeedback is its safety and non-invasiveness.”

The APA has established neurofeedback treatment to be well-established and line with their guidelines!
