🎙️ Scope of Practice, Obesity Epidemic & QEEG Phenotypes | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Podcast

Join Dr. Mari Swingle, author of i-Minds, Joshua Moore, Anthony Moore, John Mekrut, and host Pete Jansons for an intimate, small-group discussion on neurofeedback scope challenges, the brain science behind obesity, and revolutionary QEEG phenotyping.✅ Scope of Practice Explained: Neurofeedback providers and neurologists often clash over EEG interpretation—neurologists prioritize seizures while neurotherapists catch subtle patterns linked to mental health; the group calls for mutual respect, better cross-training, and stopping discipline-bashing.✅ Obesity Epidemic Deep Dive: Obesity is multifactorial with strong brain ties—frontal slowing on EEG (mirroring ADHD/addiction phenotypes), trauma (ACEs), sedentary behavior, and mindless eating; fidgeting burns 800–2000 extra calories daily, while drugs like Ozempic help weight but skip behavioral roots.✅ QEEG Phenotypes Insights: Joshua Moore breaks down personalizing neurofeedback and medication via individual EEG phenotypes—up to 85% mental health improvement when meds match brain patterns vs. symptom-only prescribing.✅ Additional Topics:🎯 Neurologists missing subclinical epileptic discharges🎯 Trauma as core driver of obesity and addiction🎯 Nature study linking obesity to frontal delta/theta slowing🎯 Fidgeting and subtle movement for calorie burn🎯 Ozempic/semaglutide impact on behavior modification🎯 Information overload, perfectionism, and “brain gluttony”🎯 Cell phone bans in schools—restriction vs. responsibility teachingKey Moments:[00:00] — Welcome + Patreon shoutout[00:54] — Banter: SpaceX, Elon/Twitter, baseball Ohtani hype[05:07] — Dr. Mari Swingle joins the discussion[05:30] — Scope of practice debate begins: neurologists vs. neurotherapists[07:44] — Call to stop criticizing other disciplines[10:51] — Real-world referral dilemmas with subtle EEG findings[44:09] — Fidgeting studies and calorie burn in thinner people[45:00] — Ozempic/semaglutide debate[47:48] — Obesity reframed as trauma epidemic (ACEs)[49:13] — Obesity correlated with frontal slowing (Nature paper)[51:52] — Neurofeedback as optimal long-term brain regulation[56:51] — “Brain gluttony” and handling information overload[58:08] — Joshua Moore teaser: QEEG phenotypes intro + 85% improvement stat✅ Event & App Updates:Dr. Mari Swingle's Apps & Info: https://swinglesonic.comJay Gunkelman's Events & Info: https://suisuncitysummit.com✅ Help us keep the NeuroNoodle Podcast going!Support us on Patreon 👉   / neuronoodle  ✅ Enjoy the show?

🎙️ Deep Brain Reorienting & Choosing Neurofeedback Pros | NeuroNoodle Neurofeedback Podcast

Join Jay Gunkelman, QEEGD (the man who has analyzed over 500,000 brain scans), Dr. Mari Swingle, Joshua Moore, John Mekrut, Anthony Ramos, and host Pete Jansons for a packed discussion on cutting-edge trauma approaches, avoiding neurofeedback pitfalls, and how to pick qualified practitioners.✅ Deep Brain Reorienting Explained: A new somatic approach pioneered by Dr. Frank Corrigan targets brainstem-level early childhood attachment trauma via visual orientation and superior colliculus, going deeper than EMDR or exposure therapy—exciting experts like Sebern Fisher for developmental trauma recovery.✅ Neuroinflammation Deep Dive: Inflammation causes brain ischemia and hypoxia; overtraining inflamed brains risks headaches, nausea, tics, or even cell death—clinicians stress gentle starts, short sessions, monitoring symptoms, and addressing diet/nutrition first.✅ Choosing Pros Insights: Beware cheap equipment and unqualified practitioners; seek BCIA-certified or licensed pros with medical-grade gear—experience, mentorship, and clear "what & why" explanations matter more than pretty images.✅ Additional Topics:🎯 Pupil dilation syncing with pulse & visual-EEG links🎯 Brain spotting for trauma via visual field resonance🎯 Overtraining signs: Stop at headaches/nausea/tics🎯 Infralow/slow cortical potentials delicacy🎯 Dry sensors limitations for slow-wave work🎯 QEEG phenotypes & personalized mental health💡 Biohackers & tDCS risks (1.5V max!)💪 Functional medicine for neuroinflammation📅 Suisun City Summit & ISNR eventsKey Moments:[00:00] — Welcome & Patreon support shoutout[00:55] — Anthony Ramos: Pupil dilation pulses & visual-EEG correlations[01:36] — Brain spotting for trauma via resonant visual field[02:07] — Sebern Fisher on Deep Brain Reorienting (DBR) by Frank Corrigan[03:09] — Brainstem trauma pathway: Superior colliculus → periaqueductal gray → amygdala[04:27] — DBR upcoming presentations in South Africa[04:50] — Joshua Moore on brain spotting, EMDR & neurofeedback for complex trauma[05:35] — Listener question: Neuroinflammation impact on neurofeedback[06:15] — Jay Gunkelman: Inflammation → swelling → ischemia → hypoxia risks[07:46] — Why induced comas post-head injury & avoiding overwork[08:24] — Work with functional medicine; cautious with Lyme/inflammation cases[09:57] — Gentle entry like physiotherapy—respect brain sensitivity[11:21] — Biohacker tDCS warnings (1.5V plenty, avoid 9V)[12:28] — Clinic protocols: Stop at tics/headaches/nausea; back off timing[14:19] — Start short sessions (5-10 min) to test tolerance[51:10] — Professional societies & finding qualified practitioners[52:17] — BCIA certification levels & equipment cost differences[58:24] — Complexity reminder: This isn't DIY—seek pros[59:37] — Neurofeedback as brain "tuneup" for peak performance[1:01:36] — Always ask providers: "What are you doing and why?"[1:06:22] — Joshua Moore teaser: Intro to QEEG phenotypes workshop✅ Event & App Updates:Dr. Mari Swingle's Apps & Info: https://swinglesonic.comJay Gunkelman's Events & Info: https://suisuncitysummit.com✅ Help us keep the NeuroNoodle Podcast going!Support us on Patreon 👉 https://www.patreon.com/NeuroNoodle✅ Enjoy the show?
