010. Master Your Mind With Neurofeedback - Angela Martinucci

At the end of the day, there’s nothing that more impacts your life more profoundly than your state of mind On this week’s episode, I talk to none other than Angela Martinucci. Angela is a Human Potential Coach and a Theta Healer, but is mostly known as being a Neuroptimal Neurofeedback Practitioner. I first met Angela at the 2017 Bulletproof Biohacking Conference, where she hooked me up to a Neuroptimal neurofeedback device. Angela didn’t discover neurofeedback because she was someone trying to “biohack” her life. Angela was diagnosed with breast cancer over seven years ago. Angela felt her world crumbling. As a nutrition coach, and someone who lived a healthy lifestyle, the diagnosis of breast cancer shattered her confidence and mental edge. Angela tells the story of how neurofeedback helped regulate her emotions and bounce her back to recovery after her cancer diagnosis. Angela knew something was working, as when she met with other cancer survivors, she noticed they were all taking their Xanax and sleeping pills to help regulate their stresses. However, with the help of neurofeedback, Angela was able to emotionally self-regulate without pills and fall asleep without any harsh medications. Brain training is amazing for stress. People start reporting “oh I’m sleeping better,” “I’m just bouncing back from stressors,” “I just feel more calm…” - everybody needs that. We talk about the root of disease, and stress is the leading cause of that so if we can help to manage that, that can be pretty powerfulAngela has amazing stories of how neurofeedback has helped her children with anxiety, learning disorders, and just overall emotional regulation (especially when it comes to competitive sports). Many of Angela’s clients come to her for issues with sleep, anxiety, and PTSD, which have disappeared after just 10 sessions. Angela has worked with professional athletes, high level Crossfit competitors, jiu jitsu champions, who have all told her that neurofeedback put them in flow states during competitions. After working with many professional athletes, Angela has began to focus her efforts with professional sports teams such as the Oakland A’s, who have noticed a tremendous shift in their players.
