Short, practical videos to help you understand how your brain works — and how you can support it. Each video is designed to give you simple, science‑based tools you can use in daily life to improve focus, emotional balance, and overall well‑being.
Understanding Your Brain
What Is Neurofeedback? A clear, informative presentation that explains what neurofeedback is, how it was developed, and how this brain‑based training works. You’ll learn the science behind neurofeedback, the history of its use, and the types of symptoms and conditions it can help improve — including anxiety, focus, emotional regulation, and overall brain health. Ideal for anyone wanting a solid understanding before beginning sessions.
How Sleep and Attention Are Connected Dr. Licata, founder of Vital Brain Health, explains the powerful relationship between sleep quality and attention — especially in individuals with ADHD. In this video, experts in neuroscience and neurofeedback discuss why poor sleep can worsen focus, emotional regulation, and executive functioning, and why improving sleep hygiene is essential for better brain performance. You’ll also learn about the different ADHD phenotypes and why attention problems are often a symptom, not the root issue. When we understand what’s driving the lack of attention, treatment becomes far more effective.
A Teen’s Experience With Neurofeedback for ADHD In this personal story, a teenager shares how neurofeedback training helped improve focus, emotional regulation, and daily functioning while living with ADHD. This honest account highlights what the process felt like, the changes they noticed over time, and how brain‑based training supported their confidence and attention in school and at home. A helpful video for parents, teens, and anyone looking for real‑life examples of how neurofeedback can make a meaningful difference.
How Vitamin D Supports Brain and Body Health In this expert discussion, you’ll learn how vitamin D plays a crucial role in both physical and brain health. The speaker explains how vitamin D affects mood, attention, immune function, and overall nervous system balance — and why deficiencies can contribute to fatigue, low mood, and cognitive difficulties. This video breaks down the science in a simple, accessible way, offering practical insights into why maintaining healthy vitamin D levels is essential for optimal brain function and emotional well‑being.
SPECT Brain Imaging Before and After Neurofeedback for PTSD In this powerful presentation, Dr. Siegfried Othmer shares SPECT scan images showing how neurofeedback can change brain function in veterans living with PTSD. The video walks through pre‑ and post‑training brain scans, highlighting improvements in areas related to emotional regulation, hypervigilance, and stress response. This expert explanation offers a clear look at the neurological impact of trauma — and how neurofeedback can support recovery by helping the brain return to healthier, more stable patterns.
NFL Players on Neurofeedback Former NFL athletes share how neurofeedback helped them recover from concussion symptoms, improve focus, and support long‑term brain health. A powerful look at how brain training can aid performance and healing.
Neurofeedback for Healing and Regulation In this video, a neurofeedback therapist shares how brain‑based training supports emotional balance and healthier nervous system patterns. Drawing on experience working with children in need in China, the therapist explains how neurofeedback helps the brain recover from stress and develop greater resilience.
Understanding the Brain–Gut Axis This video explores how the brain and gut communicate through the brain–body axis, shaping mood, stress levels, digestion, immunity, and overall well‑being. It offers a simple explanation of why this connection is essential for emotional balance and long‑term health.
How the Brain Changes Itself: Neuroplasticity This video explains neuroplasticity—the brain’s ability to reorganize and form new connections throughout life. It explores how experiences, learning, and repeated patterns can strengthen or weaken neural pathways, and why this capacity for change is key to healing, growth, and improving mood, attention, and resilience.
Dan Siegel’s Hand Model of the Brain This video explains Dr. Dan Siegel’s simple “hand model” that shows how the brain works during stress and emotional overwhelm. Using the hand as a visual metaphor, he illustrates how the prefrontal cortex, limbic system, and brainstem interact — and what happens when we “flip our lid.” It’s an easy, memorable way to understand emotional regulation and how the brain returns to balance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is neuroplasticity?
Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to change, reorganize, and form new pathways throughout life. It’s the foundation of learning, healing, and growth.
Why does stress affect my body so much?
The brain and body are deeply connected. When the nervous system is overwhelmed, it sends signals that influence digestion, sleep, mood, and energy.
What is the brain–gut axis? It’s the communication network between the brain and the digestive system. This connection plays a major role in mood, inflammation, and overall well‑being.
Why is understanding the brain helpful for parents?
When you understand what’s happening in the brain, your child’s behaviors make more sense — and you gain tools to respond with confidence and compassion.
