Frequently Asked Questions
Neuro – short for neuroplasticity “brain change” – is for everyone. The importance of neuroplasticity can’t be overstated: It means that it is possible to change dysfunctional patterns of thinking and behaving and to develop new mindsets, new memories, new skills, and new abilities.
Combining neuro-centric applications and safe, effective exercise provides enhanced results and lasting benefits. We are brain derived - everything we remember, feel, experience, and act on. Combining neuroscience and movement allows for the most accurate, efficient, and effective use of time to resolve issues or improve performance, productivity, and mood.
I’m glad you asked because—as opposed to what many people, including many professionals, think—the answer is a resounding YES! When we first begin working with our clients, we often find a mental resignation regarding their eyes: they believe that deterioration of their vision over time is inevitable.
Thankfully, both science and our experiences are proving that to be incorrect!For over six years, we’ve been helping our clients improve their vision, and we have seen things that would boggle your mind—from lifelong glasses wearers throwing their corrective lenses away to world-class athletes setting new personal records—all from the exercises in this program. I personally have had my vision improve every other year at the optometrist. So, not only is it possible to improve your vision—it’s expected.
Because our goal for most clients is ultimately to discard their glasses or contacts, it is generally best to do the drills without them. One thing that comes up for some of our clients, though, is that without their lenses they really cannot see ANYTHING clearly. In most cases, that’s perfectly OK. Simply doing the exercises, even if the targets are blurry, will begin to make a difference.
However, if the blurriness is really bothersome to you and you’re having a difficult time seeing with clarity, wear your glasses for the first two weeks of training. After your second week of exercises, begin weaning yourself off them as you do the drills. You may find you use your contacts or glasses for some drills and not for others. Over time, as your visual system improves, your ultimate goal is to perform all the drills without any corrective lenses because you no longer need them.
With contact lenses, this does become a hassle and more tedious, so schedule your visual drills for a few minutes before putting them in and after removing them at night!
100% YES! Tens of thousands of studies conclusively demonstrated that you can improve your balance and reap the tremendous benefits that come with enhanced stability, including and definitely not limited to pain reduction! Here are a few:
- Vastly Improved Muscle Tone, Movement Skill, and Posture
- Decreased Daily Muscle Tension and Improved Resistance to Stress
- Major Improvements in Strength, Speed, Mobility, and Flexibility
- Breakthroughs in Sports Performance
- Significant Decreases or Total Elimination of Chronic Joint and Muscle Pain
- Improved Visual Skills and Decreased Eye Strain
- Massive Improvements in Daily Energy
- And of course, Better Balance!
You’ll notice in the video that we are training in our socks. When you do your baseline assessments and your balance training, it is very important that you take your
shoes off. Shoes often provide additional artificial information to your feet and ankles that make performing the drills easier. While this is OK in the short term (or if
you are required to wear them because of your location),you will gain far larger benefits from the training program over time by working barefoot.
We want your brain to wake up and care about what you are doing? We want to remind it that this is important to you! In order to this, short session throughout the day 3-5x/day is better than one hour session a week! Doing a drill between bathroom breaks or getting water. Setting an alarm every hour and training for 30 seconds, helps the brain build roadmaps for faster change!
Please review our “Before We begin” section on “intensity, speed, load, position, and reps”! There are many ways to adjust and exercise based on your current needs. Remember novelty is key for the brain to keep learning and engaging, so you should become proficient in all the options and not assume one is more challenging than the other.
Doing something is still better than doing nothing and every step is a step closer to your goal. This program is built to fit your lifestyle. It is understandable that you will miss days. Work at your speed! You will still see improvements and steps closer to your goals in participating in this program as much as possible.
Of course, start with a course that focuses on a specific goal and then consider joining the membership. Life happens, and often there is seemingly never a perfect time to start. The perfect time to start is to START! And remember, if your life improves because of the work you are putting in, you will make time!
