About Us

Unlike traditional medical approaches, which rarely look at images of the brain, at the Brain Enhancement Center, we use the most sophisticated technology to conduct a quantitative encephalography (qEEG) assessment. This is also known as a “brain map”, which specifically examines how the brain is functioning. This allows us to go beyond the guesswork to fully understand the root causes of an individual's symptoms. Evaluating the unique neural activity patterns and identifying areas that may benefit from targeted neurotherapeutic interventions gives us the opportunity to fix the source of the problems instead of covering up the symptoms. We utilize the world's best, non-invasive, drug free approaches to correct dysfunctions and help balance your brain and better your life.

Our Approach

Signature 3-Step Solution: BASELINE, BALANCE, BOOST Enhancing the BRAIN, MIND and BODY

Baseline

In our pursuit of providing the most effective treatment, we begin with a thorough baseline assessment that incorporates a comprehensive intake process. This initial step involves a detailed evaluation of your medical history, current symptoms, lifestyle factors, personal goals, a map of your brain function and potential functional medicine testing. Through a series of structured interviews, questionnaires, brain mapping (qEEG), we gather information to form a holistic understanding of your unique needs and circumstances. Additionally, we may utilize diagnostic tools such as psychological assessments, physical examinations, and functional medicine laboratory tests to further assess your condition. By establishing this comprehensive baseline, we can identify underlying factors contributing to your symptoms and tailor a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific needs and goals. Our goal is to ensure that your treatment approach is not only evidence-based but also aligned with your individual preferences and circumstances, setting the stage for optimal outcomes and long-term success.

Balance

We empower your brains neuroplasticity to reconfigure it’s structure, functioning and connections to respond more effectively to life’s demands. Balancing the brain through neurotherapy incorporates innovative techniques such as neurostimulation and neuromodulation, specifically utilizing non-invasive tools such as Transcranial Alternating Current Stimulation (tACS), Transcranial Random Noise Stimulation (tRNS), Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF), Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (TVNS) and Photo-Bimodulation (PBM). These methods involve the targeted application of electrical, light and frequency stimuli to specific brain areas, promoting optimal neuronal activity, connectivity and nervous system harmony.

Neurostimulation/Neuromodulation contributes to addressing imbalances associated with conditions such as; neurodegeneration, depression, chronic pain, or cognitive deficits. The dynamic nature of these techniques allows for a more personalized and adaptable approach, fostering resilience and optimizing cognitive function.

By utilizing these devices and techniques, we refine neural circuits to modulate brain activity and foster optimal functioning. The integration of these modalities into neurotherapy enhances the approach's effectiveness, enabling practitioners to tackle localized imbalances and broader network-level interactions within the brain. This customized and comprehensive path facilitates the attainment of a resilient and balanced brain.

Boost

During the balance phase we focus on maximizing the gains achieved and optimizing long-term outcomes to foster enhanced well-being and a better quality of life. Our techniques are scientifically proven to grow new brain cells, build new blood vessels, improve blood circulation, increase natural antioxidants in the brain, release brain healing hormones, reduce brain cell death, dramatically reduce harmful inflammation in the brain and powerfully increase the brain's cellular energy production.

Leveraging personalized interventions and the insights gained from neurofeedback, neurostimulation, and neuromodulation, we fine-tune the training regimen to further enhance specific cognitive functions.

The "Boost" phase aims to not only solidify the positive changes in brain activity and functionality but also to empower individuals towards an improved quality of life. Through targeted exercises and activities, participants integrate their newfound cognitive strategies into real-world scenarios, promoting sustained improvements in daily life. This consolidation process can involve reprogramming dysfunctional memories or thought patterns which can be crucial for ensuring that the benefits gained during neurotherapy sessions extend beyond the treatment environment.

Regular assessments and feedback sessions during the "Boost" phase allow practitioners to track progress, identify areas for continued focus, and refine the neurotherapy plan as needed. By actively involving individuals in the shaping of their cognitive outcomes, the "Boost" phase reinforces the principles of neuroplasticity, empowering them to maintain and build upon the positive changes achieved throughout the neurotherapeutic journey, ultimately leading to increased vitality and a better life.
