What Causes Brain Dysfunction?

Almost all brain dysfunction can be summarized into one of three categories that I call the three Ts , "TRAUMA ,TOXICITY and THOUGHTS". You may have seen some of my previous videos when I told the story about how my wife Jeanine and I were in a horrific helicopter crash. She suffered a traumatic brain injury and it is the main reason I created the Better Brain Academy.

The synthesis of what  I learned in 30 years of practice along with the worldwide search to find the best doctors, the best research, best treatments and remedies to create a healthy brain and nervous system was the main reason for my wife's recovery

 Any time there is a trauma to the brain and body it can short-circuit the nervous system. It is very important to always make sure that you do something to start to reset the nervous system and restore proper function. Any stress can trigger the fight or fight response that needs to stop within a short period of time. There's a feedback loop that takes place from the brain to our body and then back the brain. Healthy responses have to send messages to the cells from the brain 100 % of the time for proper communication

It is critical to look at what energy and information is being received  to support the health and healing for the best amount of communication from the brain. The brain can actually affect the messages down the spinal tracks so your posture is very important in the recovery after a trauma. Many of us have toxins that have been accumulating in the body .A critical step in healing is to make sure that you are taking steps to start to reduce that and eliminate toxins as much as possible .I will go into the steps more in depth in future videos on how to reduce toxicity

 It is also important to really be aware of what we're thinking because it could be firing off this feedback loop with negative feedback reducing your overall health. I want you to have 100% of your brains message to bring 100% of expression of life energy flowing to the body 100% of the time. So start to THINK a little bit better and reduce TOXINS now to achieve a much healthier life.

Better Brain Academy and The 3 Powers

We all have the ability to transform our lives by understanding how to use our "Three Powers." In the Better Brain Academy we take you through a three week process to tap into each of your powers. It takes 21 days to create a new habit pattern so we address all the three powers starting first with your Elective power, then your connective power and finishing the last week addressing your Reflective power.

Your Elective Power is the "power of you". Your ability to find what truly drives you and link this with your values for more fulfillment in life. Your Connective Power is how you create stronger lifelong connections using your emotional brain. Your Reflective Power is tapping into your Innate purpose and defining your highest mission in life.

Balancing the Brain with Our Innate Senses

This week the focus is about getting in touch with our own innate senses. The word innate means inborn or natural. We all have innate skills, innate dreams and desires that makes us each unique. Our five senses are how we interact with the external world and actually create the quality of our life. These senses also direct our internal drives and motivation. We can all create an internal feeling that is enough to compel us to travel great distances for our favorite food, to see something that is majestic as a ocean sunset, or listen our favorite musician.

I would like to take a closer look at how to reduce the stresses of daily life by using the sense of smell. Different smells can actually alter brainwave patterns because it is the only sense that bypasses the gatekeeper of the brain( thalamus). The universal smell for calming the brain is lavender .It has a direct effect on the brain and nervous system reducing anxiety. If you have kids that are more hyperactive and they have a hard time sleeping, use lavender on their pillow. When my grandkids come over my wife will put it a little bit of lavender oil on their pillow and it's amazing how they sleep much better.

We begin the digestive process with smelling our food first. With our fast food society it is so easy to overeat because the sense of smell is not stimulated. The brain triggers the digestive process with smell and begins stimulating the release of digestive enzymes. Many times a meal has already been devoured before the body can catch up so indigestion occurs. I challenge to consciously tap into your senses this week at a greater level of mindful awareness.

Better Brain Tip

Close your eyes for an entire meal and truly listen to sounds around you and taste your food at a higher level. We all need to use our five senses on a daily basis however many times we can be on auto pilot and don't allow the body to digest the energy and information our food and environment is providing. Slow down today and it will be easier get the brain in better balance and reduce stresses on your nervous system.
