This episode is all about technologies that help rewire the brain for optimization and recovery.
I'm joined by Dr. John Silva, DC. to discuss how he uses technologies like Quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) and neurofeedback to map and rewire the brain.
With this amazing technology, he has helped patients with a number of mental conditions including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and ADHD.
Dr. John also sees a lot of success using these tools with high performers such as professional athletes and CEO's.
