00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:04.799
Welcome to the Factor podcast, where we talk about the
2
00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:07.599
stuff they didn't teach you in school, how to grow
3
00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:10.839
your practice, refine your clinical skills, and get better results
4
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:13.759
for your patients. We're here to help you navigate the
5
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.399
real world challenges of being a healthcare provider, from delivering
6
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.359
top notch patient care to running a business that doesn't
7
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.160
run you into the ground. Whether you're fresh out of
8
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.760
school or scaling your practice, we're diving into effective, cutting
9
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.800
edge treatments to get patients better, faster. We'll also talk
10
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.759
about business strategies and tactics to help you work smarter
11
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.759
and not harder, and the mindset shifts required to thrive
12
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.280
as a top performer in your field so you can
13
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.600
build a career you love without burning out. If you're
14
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.119
ready to learn what works and what doesn't from leading experts,
15
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:51.759
industry innovators, and respective clinicians across a wide range of specialties,
16
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.679
you're in the right place, my friend. Let's dive in.
17
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.640
When we think about improving athletic performance, most clinicians immediately
18
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.599
focus on movement quality, strength, mobility, recovery, and biomechanics. But
19
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.519
what if we've been overlooking the most important performance system
20
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.359
of all the brain. Welcome back to the Factor podcast,
21
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.159
where we explore the latest evidence, emerging technologies, and clinical
22
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.280
strategies to help healthcare providers deliver better outcomes for their patients.
23
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.000
I'm your host, Jessica Riddle, and today we're excited to
24
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.000
feature a special training from the Better Brains, Better Futures podcast,
25
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.239
hosted by Seth Kaylin. Better Brains, Better Futures is the
26
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.560
newest member of the Factor podcast network, where we bring
27
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.920
you conversations from trusted partners and thought leaders who are
28
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:05.920
advancing evidence informed healthcare. If doctor Kevin Butterfield's name sounds familiar,
29
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.120
well there's a good reason for that. He previously joined
30
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:13.120
us on our episodes one fifteen and one sixteen, where
31
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:17.680
we explore the science of neurofeedback and its clinical applications.
32
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.719
In this new two part conversation, set sits down with
33
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.879
doctor Butterfield to take that discussion even further, exploring how
34
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.800
quantitative EEG brain mapping and neurofeedback are changing the way
35
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:35.479
clinicians think about performance optimization, concussion recovery, and cognitive resilience.
36
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.840
From youth athletes to professional competitors. They make the case
37
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:44.319
that physical preparation alone isn't enough, and that understanding how
38
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:48.159
the brain functions may unlock an entirely new level of
39
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:53.080
human performance. Let's jump into part one of today's feature training.
40
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.919
Thank you all for joining doctor Kevin Butterfield here with
41
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:10.000
me Seth Klin with Hippocampus Labs, and we are talking
42
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.479
about the athletes hidden an advantage. There's no secret there.
43
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.759
We're going to be talking about brain mapping, peak performance,
44
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.560
and eg neurofeedback. So there's a lot of power that's
45
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:21.960
within your hands with this. And I will let doctor
46
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.680
Butterfield get started so we can kind of get so
47
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.560
without further ado, Doctor Butterfield, without.
48
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.240
Further ado, all right, yeah, so this we're going to
49
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.159
talk a lot about the brain mapping, like Seth said,
50
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.599
and EEG neuro feedback and brain mapping. If you're already
51
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.039
doing this in your practice, that's awesome. Maybe we can
52
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.000
help you expand a little bit on it. If you're
53
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:43.919
not doing it in your practice and you want to,
54
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:45.680
you'll find out why. This is probably a good idea
55
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:48.719
to do that, because we all in our practices we
56
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:53.719
see athletes from youth to middle school, high school, college,
57
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.120
and some of us see the pros. So the key
58
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.840
thing that all those people do is to do the
59
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.159
physical performance stuff and they leave the brain out of it,
60
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:04.240
which it should be the other way around. All right,
61
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.039
So again you guys can read this. We're not giving
62
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:12.120
you medical advice or diagnosing anything or any of your conditions.
63
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.840
You should seek all that information out from a licensed
64
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.639
medical professional for any health concerns. Okay, this is just
65
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:19.319
a disclaimer.
66
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.399
One more disclaimer on that. We have some professional athletes
67
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.199
that will be showing during this presentation and a couple
68
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.920
of quotes that you'll see. They are promoting and referring
69
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.519
to nourro feedback as the benefit and the major changes
70
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.959
that it's had in their lives. But we have not
71
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:38.759
contacted them or gone approval from them for hippocampus labs,
72
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.519
but in nor feedback in general. They are major proponents
73
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.480
in the industry and in the professional sports world. So
74
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:46.680
I just wanted to make a note of that.
75
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:52.600
Excellent, all right, the leadership team. I'm doctor Butterfield. I've
76
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.519
been a chiropractor for a long time. I've been doing
77
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.240
neuro feedback for twenty six years now and that's all
78
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:03.160
I do. The neuro feedback. I do anything from kids
79
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.480
with add kids in the spectrum depression, anxiety, all the way.
80
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.240
It's now more. I do some peak performance brain training
81
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:15.399
for professional athletes Indie car drivers, Nascard drivers, and NFL players.
82
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.879
That's what I do, and I'm trying to show or
83
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.399
help other practitioners across the country to employ this in
84
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:26.439
their office because it's such a valuable asset, valuable tool
85
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:27.319
in your toolbox.
86
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.959
So myself nutritional therapy practitioner, Board certified and holistic nutrition.
87
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.759
I've worked with doctor Butterfield since back in twenty sixteen
88
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:37.399
when I met him when I was working as a
89
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:42.079
manufacturer rep for a functional medicine supplement company. And there's
90
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:46.879
a core major correlation, direct correlation, bidirectional relationship between the
91
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:50.439
brain and the metabolics system obviously, so I've worked a
92
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:53.480
lot with the metabolic system as far as supplementation, diet changes,
93
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:58.199
lifestyle influences to impact the brain health. Never before haven't
94
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:01.199
been had enough power to be able to make changes
95
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.399
directly to the brain with a technology like this, So
96
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:07.399
now with combining them, we're able to actually have a
97
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.959
much faster impact on individuals lives and practices as well
98
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.800
because they're able to combine those things because many healthcare
99
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.360
practitioners and the ones that we're working with are in
100
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:21.560
the functional medicine or holistic space and they are applying
101
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:26.120
those methodologies already to support the natural function of the body.
102
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.079
And now with neuro feedback, we're actually directly influenced in
103
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.199
brain energy and the brain waves, so that way the
104
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.600
brain is in providing more brain energy to give more motivation,
105
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.759
more clarity, more focused to individuals, so they can actually
106
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:43.000
follow through with lifestyle recommendations for your patients, so when
107
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.120
they go home, they have that energy, that mindset, that
108
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.600
clarity to make a decision that's better for them rather
109
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:52.000
than grabbing a glass of wine that's the distressor of
110
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.199
the day. So that's my experience. I've been doing that
111
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.879
for quite a while. I was with that company for
112
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.519
over twelve years now. I've got a holistic health and
113
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.959
wellness space that I have twenty seven employees over seven
114
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.319
thousand square feet that I have with focusing on the
115
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:10.920
real world impact of self care and support for individuals
116
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.240
in my community and more feedback is a big part
117
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.879
of that. We've just been implementing that and getting some
118
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.600
great successes. Dan Court was one of my largest accounts
119
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.240
when I was with that supplement company, and he was
120
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.399
not only an amazing practitioner, an amazing human being to
121
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.480
helping as many people as he could at scale. He
122
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.319
had multiple successes prior to him actually getting into the
123
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:39.639
nutritional holistic realm of multiple businesses that he was able
124
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:43.639
to build from scratch and sell to multi billion dollar companies.
125
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:45.480
And the reason that's relevant and I bring that up
126
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.360
is because our purpose and our mission is be able
127
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.759
to take more feedback and make it a well known
128
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:55.879
modality in healthcare practices and support you to be able
129
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.079
to implement this and from a successful business manner so
130
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.439
you can get the best result that you can with
131
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.680
your practices. So we're combining all the best of both worlds,
132
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:08.079
the best of nor feedback with doctor Butterfield and his
133
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:11.920
success in clinical practice and business as well myself with
134
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:15.319
the holistic perspective of how to support the metabolic system
135
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.279
and Dan with bringing in that additional layer of business
136
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.639
support and clinical support. Just our team, as far as
137
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.399
the leadership team and all of our team that we
138
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.000
have in the background, are really here to support you
139
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:28.839
to be able to scale this in your office to
140
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:30.160
whatever degree that you would like to.
141
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.559
Okay, now there we go. Why the brain based training?
142
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:36.159
Like I said, a lot of the athletes out there,
143
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:38.399
and the top tier athletes, they work on their body
144
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.440
so much, which is good. They got the best oxygen
145
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.360
capacity and their long needs to last longer. They got
146
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.960
everything they can go going for them from the neck down.
147
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.840
But some athletes are a lot of athletes probably use
148
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.919
neuro feedback as well. I mean, it's the mental fatigue
149
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:57.320
accumulates faster than muscular fatigue. Obviously, you're gonna get burned
150
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:58.879
out in your brain. If we're gonna lose your focus,
151
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.480
you're gonna get straight your thought process, which will slow
152
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.039
you down. But if you focus on the brain while
153
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.559
you do the body, that's the comprehensive approach that you
154
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:10.559
should do. Again, the cost of not doing it is
155
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:12.720
whether you finish on the podium or your team wins
156
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.480
or it doesn't win. All the brains are working, firing
157
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:19.600
the best they could. That's an unstoppable force. So to
158
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:24.159
add in the neural feedback or the neurological precision training,
159
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:27.360
that's the missing piece that most of these teams don't
160
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.559
have and should have. Okay, yeah, the brain is your
161
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.279
performances that controls everything else in your whole body, So
162
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.120
you have to have the proper firing of the signals.
163
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:38.679
The brain wave's got to be in a certain range,
164
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.639
which is normal for them to be able to communicate
165
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.360
in the brain better to send all that information down
166
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.519
to your body. It increases your reaction speed, your tension,
167
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:51.320
and focus obviously your emotional stability, so you don't have
168
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.559
these meltdowns, and it helps to recover quicker because you
169
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:56.960
don't burn yourself up or burn your muscles up.
170
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.759
Or so we've all heard the phrase before. It's not
171
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.759
in a game, they were making mistakes, and we've seen
172
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:05.519
it on the big screen. You've probably seen it in
173
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.879
youth sports. That there is when somebody is making mistakes
174
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.679
and it's having a major impact and they're just not
175
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.120
the right mindset. Their performance breakdowns and so they're not
176
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:19.080
physically not in the game, but they're mentally not in
177
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.399
the game, which is affecting their physical performance. So when
178
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.240
your brain's under competitive stress, it's just regulated and it's
179
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.600
not able to respond appropriately. It's misfiring. So that's a
180
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:34.720
major bottleneck for a lot of these youth athletes and
181
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:39.279
professional athletes to actually being at their at their peak performance.
182
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.200
So cognitive drift, that's one of those things where when
183
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:45.159
there's a stress or that they're receiving or they're having
184
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.639
in the game and it's and they are not able
185
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:51.720
to react as quickly as they as they should because
186
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.240
their brain is not is not able to is not
187
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.840
trained in order to be able to respond appropriately. Or
188
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.799
they've had a certain amount of stress that that they've
189
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.200
been under that they've been not able to adapt or recover,
190
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:06.240
so they're fatigued, they're not able to respond, So they're
191
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:10.200
having some neuro inefficiency. Their brain is consuming more power
192
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:12.720
and it produces more to take more power than it
193
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:17.559
actually is producing. So that's a major inefficiency for individuals
194
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:19.440
when they're trying to be at their top of their game.
195
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.120
And a lot of that also has to correlation. Again,
196
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.240
like I talked about before, with a metabolic system, we
197
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.720
have to support the lifestyle, we have to support the
198
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:30.600
fuel for the brain so that way you can respond appropriately.
199
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.159
But if the brain waves are out of sync, or
200
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.360
whether it's been through damage of concussion or through stress,
201
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:40.279
or through anxiety and other things, maybe it's a chemical
202
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:44.240
nature of things that they're eating poorly. That inefficiency is
203
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.919
going to impact their brain waves, which is going to
204
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.200
take them out of the game. Their head's not going
205
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:50.639
to be where it should be to be able to
206
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.639
be able to firing at all cylinders, and when it's
207
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:57.200
just regulated, when it's not performing at its best, there
208
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.639
are times where that's increasing injury risk. Whether it's and
209
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.480
the way that the athlete is moving around its opponent,
210
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.080
it's not placing their feet where it's supposed to be.
211
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.639
Maybe that's an ankle injury, or maybe it's a racer
212
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.039
that has a split second decision that they have to
213
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:15.600
make and that is the difference between getting into a
214
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.519
crash or hitting the wall or not. So it's a
215
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:21.200
major impact of that brain's not firing on all cylinders.
216
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:22.840
So got to get the head in the game. And
217
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.759
that's where more feedback actually compliments and helps people be
218
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:30.440
able to be at their most heightened capability and most
219
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.440
focused and relaxed. So it's not just where they're just
220
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:36.600
going to be on steady alert. They're also able to
221
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:40.440
become relaxed and be able to have emotional regulation when
222
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.279
it's appropriate for the different sports.
223
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:44.240
And we'll talk I would jump in and see the
224
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:47.399
classic example of that one. It's Simone Biles. Remember in
225
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:49.720
the Olympics, she did the twisties or whatever. She couldn't jump.
226
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.720
Her brain wasn't in it. So she just withdrew from
227
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:54.840
the Olympics because she didn't want to hurt herself because
228
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.799
her brain wasn't there. That's the prime example of that. Okay, yeah,
229
00:12:58.879 --> 00:12:59.600
very good point.
230
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.919
Patients have their blood tested, their heart checked, their vision measured.
231
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:06.799
So when was the last time anyone actually looked at
232
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:11.720
their brain. Hippocampus Labs helps practices add qEEG, brain mapping
233
00:13:11.840 --> 00:13:16.240

239
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:36.879
So there's more than one way you can utilize NOR
240
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:40.080
feedback to impact and help with athletes. So one is
241
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:44.240
obviously concussion recovery we're talking about now an athlete wellness.
242
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:48.440
NOR feedback is a powerful tool where that individual had
243
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:51.639
a concussion, whether it was mild or it was severe,
244
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.840
there's going to be an inflammatory process that the brain
245
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:56.919
has to go through, a healing process that they have
246
00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.759
to go through. But after they go through that, sometimes
247
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.240
people are still feeling they're having headaches on a regular basis,
248
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:06.200
They're not able to sleep, grades can be slipping. The
249
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.840
mood of the individual can be changed quite a bit
250
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:13.000
after a concussion, and that's after they've been released to
251
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.080
play and say you're recovered from your concussion, you're able
252
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:17.919
to go back in the game, but they're still having
253
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:22.240
these symptoms, so something is still not right, and a
254
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.960
lot of players, both in youth sports, it really just
255
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.720
goes under the radar and in professional sports they don't
256
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:30.559
have an answer. And NOR feedback can be one of
257
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.200
those things that provides an answer. And there's some the
258
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.480
high level athletes that have gone through this and it's
259
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.679
just lightened like night and day. They've got quotes and
260
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:41.120
case studies out there and research out there that will
261
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.480
share with you to show the amount of impact that
262
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:48.679
this NOR feedback can have for concussion recovery and just
263
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:53.120
improving the athlete wellness overall, for symptom relief, and we
264
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:56.360
say at the bottom of the slide there especially impactful
265
00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:59.120
for youth athletes. And one of the reasons that is
266
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.559
is because we think about and we see all these
267
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:04.559
things and studies have been done with professional athletes, but
268
00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:08.399
really it's the youth athletes that want to support everyone.
269
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:12.559
But youth athletes go under the radar and they most
270
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.480
of them, they never have access to normal feedback because
271
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.120
they don't have a practitioner that's local to them, that's
272
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.240
well versed in this, that can help them with this
273
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.919
type of support. Professional athletes they can afford anything, but
274
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:26.399
they don't have that local practitioner that's around them that
275
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.600
can educate the parents and educate the teams to help
276
00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:33.120
them with this. And just as I've noticed that I'm
277
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.159
in my I'm in forties, I've noticed that recovery time
278
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:40.240
from a physical activity, an exercise takes a little bit longer. Unfortunately,
279
00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:42.840
I don't like to admit that, but it's the same
280
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.960
thing with the brain. For the brain, as you age,
281
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.039
it does take longer to recover from things. When you
282
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.600
become fatigued or you have lack of sleep, you need
283
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:53.960
more time to recover. For kids, we've heard those types
284
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.600
of things where they bounce back really quickly. So for
285
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:59.879
youth athletes that have issues that they've had problems with
286
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:02.919
to be concussion or other things, with neuro feedback, they
287
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:05.679
can bounce back very quickly and have a major impact
288
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:06.759
in a short period of time.
289
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:09.759
Yeah, I've I've had a lot of students that will
290
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:13.799
go to college to play sports, got concussions, the grades dropped,
291
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:16.480
they dropped out of school. I mean, I can. I
292
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:18.440
had a lot of cases like that. And the way
293
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.440
that post concussion syndrome is a real thing where the
294
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.919
concussion symtoms last a long time is because the medical
295
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.519
approach is let's do an MRI or cat scan, which
296
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:31.279
is a golden standard, and let's look at the slices
297
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.480
of the brain. That's all they look for. It's not
298
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:36.159
a fractured skullar a bleeder. They'll come back as normal.
299
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:39.960
Neuro feedback and the brain mapping takes electronic slices of
300
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.720
your brain and seat and we can see where the
301
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:45.480
brain is misfiring. That's why we can go ahead and
302
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.840
address the concussion quote scrub it out so it doesn't
303
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:51.039
be a problem down in the future. Is that that's
304
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.360
the reason why NEU feedback is powerful that way.
305
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:59.720
Yeah, great point. So for performance optimization in future of training,
306
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:03.200
we see this with the trend of professional and high
307
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.160
level athletes adopting this and entire teams across the world
308
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:11.319
adopting this as using this to elevate their team's performance
309
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:14.039
and entire team to help make sure that they're more focused,
310
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.519
they have more emotional control, reaction speed which they're all measuring,
311
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:21.920
and it is the gym for the brain. You're working
312
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:26.000
out the brain to make it stronger, more adaptable, more resilient,
313
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:31.079
creating more neuroplasticity so that they can learn new techniques
314
00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:35.200
and new processes faster, handle things at a greater level
315
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:39.519
of pressure. So, performance optimization and the amount of money
316
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:43.279
that's being spent now in youth sports for trying to
317
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:47.880
get their athlete college scholarship or even anil up money,
318
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:50.759
now that most of you are aware of the just
319
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:54.039
having that one thing that puts them above all the
320
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:56.960
others and giving them a mental edge is going to
321
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.920
give them the best opportunity to be able to their
322
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.359
own personal best and be able to have opportunities to
323
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:08.480
be able to excel further than their classmates or other
324
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:11.279
schools that are not utilizing this, or other teams that
325
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:13.880
are not utilizing this. So this is a major thing
326
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:16.160
that can actually elevate an entire team if you're working
327
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:18.920
with an entire team, but you can definitely want to
328
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:22.400
have those individuals that you're helping move.
329
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:23.000
To the next level.
330
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:26.559
And it aligns with modern science this day and age.
331
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.279
Obviously we're all aware we want more data. The more
332
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:32.559
data we have, then the more powerful you are as
333
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:36.960
a practitioner and as a sports coach or an organization
334
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.799
if you have data that you can make meaningful decisions with.
335
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.880
And that's where Hippocampus Labs comes in. The data that
336
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:50.079
we get from utilizing QEG brain mapping which doctor Kevin's
337
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:52.960
going to get into, and mouro feedback, we have the
338
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:57.359
opportunity to make major changes in these youth athletes and
339
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:03.920
semipro college athletes, professionals alike with science driven sports innovation.
340
00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:07.079
Okay, so what we do as far as the brain map,
341
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:09.119
I mean, we put a cap on your head and
342
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:12.799
we actually with all the data from the nineteenth centuries,
343
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:16.319
we get a three D model of your brain with
344
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:20.559
sixty eight hundred voxels, which is a volumetric electrical data box,
345
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:24.480
and we compare that box of information with somebody who's
346
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:27.839
your their age and their gender and their left right handedness,
347
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:30.880
So we can see what a normal brain looks like,
348
00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:33.440
and we know what brain we're looking at. If they're
349
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.880
struggling in either the frequencies or the networks, we know
350
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:39.960
where the struggle is and we can target that area.
351
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:42.799
It's so much information. We get like two hundred and
352
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:46.480
eighty pages of reports, but it identifies where the brain struggles,
353
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:50.160
and it identifies where the brain can improve on the
354
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:54.240
field and off the field. Each brainwave tells a specific
355
00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:58.839
performance story, like the nerve feedback providers like we Apple
356
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:02.200
Campus Lab every page of that report, and it's kind
357
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:05.279
of like a coach reading a game film, identifying patterns
358
00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:09.400
and predict and explain performance outcomes. We can address everything.
359
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.680
As far as the beta frequency I it is too high,
360
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.480
that leads to performance anxiety. We've got the theta frequency
361
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:19.200
bursting in there. You get lases and focused and cognitive fatigue,
362
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:23.960
alpha suppression over focused and rigid. You need alpha frequency
363
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:28.279
actually higher than the normal brain should be to make
364
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:30.000
it to clear out all the static in the brain
365
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:32.839
and focus better. And the asymmetries are also important. You
366
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:34.759
can catch those on the brain map that the left
367
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:36.759
or right imbalances. That means your brains are not firing
368
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:39.680
in all cylinders correctly. It means the timing's off. And
369
00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:42.839
we can see all that with QEG brain met You
370
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:44.759
can't see that with MRI or CASK and or anything
371
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:45.920
else like that. And you can't see it if you
372
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:48.359
just look at somebody to know if they're got their
373
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:51.119
game going, whether a game is on. Okay, what the
374
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.880
brain what EG neeral feedback actually does? This isn't a
375
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:56.359
brain map part. The brain map tells us where to
376
00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:58.640
go where. It targets the areas of the brain that
377
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:02.519
need work. So the neuro feedback, it actually is the
378
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.119
sound that you hear when you're putting your the sensors
379
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:09.279
on the head and the headphones on. We train your
380
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:12.079
brain to get in this optimal performance state and level,
381
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.359
and again we identify it through the brain map. You
382
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.799
do the brain training sessions to get them either before event,
383
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.039
before a sporting event or a youth event, we get
384
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:27.880
the brain firing on all cylinders. Elite athletes don't just
385
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:32.839
train herder, they think more efficiently. So neuroimaging shows us
386
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:36.799
who the high performers are. They use less energy in
387
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:39.240
the brain. I learned to do more with less. This
388
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:43.880
is the phenomenon is called cortical efficiency. It's trainable with
389
00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:47.960
neuro feedback, and neuro feedback promotes faster neural activation. And
390
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:49.599
there's a lot of studies out there the show.
391
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.759
That so just on that note, everyone here and if
392
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.720
you're listening to a recording and if you joined late,
393
00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:59.200
we are going to provide a document that actually has
394
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:03.400
an outlines seventy seven different research studies that have all
395
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:06.920
been done on athletes and the effects. So you'll have
396
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:08.920
that the pub meta articles that you can go through
397
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:12.039
and scour and read into that. The amount of data
398
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:16.000
that's available just specifically with athletes and athletes from different sports.
399
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.799
That will give you a lot of confidence to be
400
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.079
able to work with your patients and work with sports
401
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:25.119
teams that are in your local area or in weekend
402
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:28.279
warriors that just want to just push themselves to the
403
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:31.440
next level this nore feedback and really have a big impact,
404
00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:36.480
and we have the research behind it. So this Tobias
405
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:40.200
from the Sixers. This is Tobias Harris. I'm a Sixers fans.
406
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:42.319
I'm from the Philly area, so we had to find
407
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:44.960
a Sixers player to put on here. But the quote
408
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:46.880
from him is, I've got to be able to function
409
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:49.160
the next day at the top level. And he was
410
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:53.720
referring to the eighty two game season schedule and the
411
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:57.279
rigorous nature of them having to travel so much. Sleep
412
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:02.599
and recovery is obviously essential. So he used neuro feedback
413
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:05.880
and it really just helped him maintain that peak performance
414
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:07.720
that he needed to be able to sleep better, to
415
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:10.680
recover and to really have the impact that he was
416
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:14.359
when he was as a professional player. So there's no
417
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:17.240
one size fits all brain protocols that we work with
418
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.960
with Hippocampus Labs, like doctor Kevin mentions is, like we
419
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:22.079
go over over two hundred and eighty pages of reports
420
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:25.000
and we look at what is the specific thing that
421
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:28.640
we're going to do with that individual player. But outside
422
00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:30.480
of that, so we're looking at if there's damage, if
423
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:35.279
there's hyper or there's hypoactivity from a brainwave perspective. But
424
00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:38.559
if we want to get into a specific protocol, we
425
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:41.680
have the ability to also focus in on what's been
426
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:46.160
researched to show of like precision sports. So alpha and
427
00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:49.200
SMR regulation is as far as central brain to help
428
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:52.799
with composure, rhythm, motor consistency under high stakes. If we
429
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:55.279
want somebody, if they're in a type of sport that
430
00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:57.920
they have to be more explosive and reactive, that sensor
431
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:01.440
motor beta modulation for faster react like a race car
432
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:03.839
driver that we can focus on to make sure that
433
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:06.559
they are able to be at there at the highest
434
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:11.119
level possible. Endurance training for the individuals that have to
435
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:13.720
sustain for long terms and they have to have that
436
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:17.640
mental resilience to have that output over long durations where
437
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:21.240
you can work with midline data training to auto regulation
438
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:25.359
for combat sports. If we want some combat sports and
439
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:27.880
may I'm sure some of you may have seen they
440
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:30.599
get explosive, they may overreact, and that's kind of like
441
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.759
the showbiz part of it, but essentially a lot of
442
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.319
them have they do that on purpose because of their
443
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:40.039
getting their fans engaged, but they do have to have
444
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:44.680
that emotional regulation to be able to keep themselves composed
445
00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:48.640
under extreme stress when they're in combat sports. MMA. So
446
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:53.160
the human dimension, this is something that's like psychosocial skills.
447
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:57.240
It's beyond brain waves. We're building better competitors. The four
448
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:00.200
areas that you see here, this is dor pheb It's
449
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.880
not just sharpening reflexes. It helps to reshape the psychological
450
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:06.880
scaffolding of a high performer. So the four things, like
451
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:11.079
to say, working with another company with some of the
452
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:13.359
most elite and I've been so blessed to work with
453
00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:18.039
some of the most elite talent identification professionals in the world,
454
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:25.000
and they're identifying these four things as essential. They're critical
455
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:30.359
to be a professional athlete. And if they don't have
456
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:32.720
all these four things that they're working on and at
457
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:36.200
their highest level, then they may become a professional athlete
458
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:39.279
because their physical skill, but it's going to be like
459
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:40.920
they're going to stay at the top for a couple
460
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:43.599
of coffee and they fizzle out. They've got to have
461
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:46.880
all of these things at the highest level to be
462
00:25:46.920 --> 00:25:52.240
able to become a professional athlete and maintain that professional performance.
463
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:57.519
So normal feedback helps support individuals with neuroplasticity and how
464
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:00.720
it supports that to help an individual become more coachable.
465
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:03.680
If you're working with a youth athlete as you're doing
466
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.240
nor feedback, that's going to increase their ability to actually
467
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.319
be more coachable because they're able to learn faster failure recovery.
468
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:14.440
They're able to actually have better stress resilience. They're a
469
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.680
stress response, so they can actually overcome losses or overcome
470
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:21.599
in a game when they may have lost a couple
471
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:24.160
times to an opponent and they need to recover faster
472
00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:25.759
and they got to get their head back in the game.
473
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:28.079
NOR feedback is going to help them have that resilience
474
00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:29.799
to be able to come back and be able to
475
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:32.839
perform at their elite level and just remove that past
476
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:36.079
performance from their mind. So they got to have that leadership,
477
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:38.960
got to have that focus, got to have that sustainable competitiveness,
478
00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:42.720
and NOR feedback can help provide that to athletes to
479
00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:45.039
be at their highest level. When you train the brain
480
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:47.400
in the lab, as an athlete who shows up in
481
00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:49.960
the locker room, they're in the huddle, they're in a comeback.
482
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:54.599
They're individuals. We're not just obviously dealing with a statistic here.
483
00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:56.680
We're dealing with the human being and we're able to
484
00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:59.359
help them really be at their best. So giving them
485
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:02.200
an edge is really powerful that you can all have.
486
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:07.920
So it's providing that support as practitioners, as hippop campus slabs.
487
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.039
We're focusing on the highest level protocols that we can
488
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:14.039
provide you that will give you the best results, so
489
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:15.640
you don't have to go back to school. You don't
490
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:18.440
have to be questioning is this the right direction to
491
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:20.480
be able to support this athlete. I really want to
492
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:23.079
make sure they get the results, and we really genuinely
493
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.559
that's what we're doing. Is we understand who we're dealing with.
494
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:28.279
We're dealing with humans on the other end. We want
495
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:30.680
to make sure that they get the best results possible. Yeah,
496
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:32.599
benefits for athletes. We've talked about this a little bit.
497
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:36.279
It just amplifies it. Sharper execution under pressure, consistent focus
498
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:39.480
and rhythm, shorter recovery windows, lower injury risk, all of it.
499
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:42.480
Like we are with more feedback, you're able to take
500
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:45.279
the individual and take them to the next level. They're
501
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:47.799
able to work on their physical performance. You're able to
502

511
00:28:28.519 --> 00:28:33.039
we explored the foundations of neurofeedback and its broader clinical applications.
512
00:28:33.960 --> 00:28:37.400
In our next episode, we'll shift from the foundational science
513
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:43.880
into real world implementation, looking at how elite athletes, sports organizations,
514
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:48.119
and healthcare providers are using brain mapping and neurofeedback to
515
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:53.400
optimize performance and support concussion recovery. Part two drops in
516

1
00:00:01.960 --> 00:00:04.799
Welcome to the Factor podcast, where we talk about the
2
00:00:04.839 --> 00:00:07.599
stuff they didn't teach you in school, how to grow
3
00:00:07.639 --> 00:00:10.839
your practice, refine your clinical skills, and get better results
4
00:00:10.839 --> 00:00:13.759
for your patients. We're here to help you navigate the
5
00:00:13.800 --> 00:00:17.399
real world challenges of being a healthcare provider, from delivering
6
00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:20.359
top notch patient care to running a business that doesn't
7
00:00:20.440 --> 00:00:23.160
run you into the ground. Whether you're fresh out of
8
00:00:23.199 --> 00:00:26.760
school or scaling your practice, we're diving into effective, cutting
9
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:30.800
edge treatments to get patients better, faster. We'll also talk
10
00:00:30.800 --> 00:00:33.759
about business strategies and tactics to help you work smarter
11
00:00:33.880 --> 00:00:37.759
and not harder, and the mindset shifts required to thrive
12
00:00:37.880 --> 00:00:40.280
as a top performer in your field so you can
13
00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:43.600
build a career you love without burning out. If you're
14
00:00:43.640 --> 00:00:47.119
ready to learn what works and what doesn't from leading experts,
15
00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:51.759
industry innovators, and respective clinicians across a wide range of specialties,
16
00:00:52.119 --> 00:00:54.679
you're in the right place, my friend. Let's dive in.
17
00:01:15.280 --> 00:01:19.640
When we think about improving athletic performance, most clinicians immediately
18
00:01:19.680 --> 00:01:25.599
focus on movement quality, strength, mobility, recovery, and biomechanics. But
19
00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:29.519
what if we've been overlooking the most important performance system
20
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:33.359
of all the brain. Welcome back to the Factor podcast,
21
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.159
where we explore the latest evidence, emerging technologies, and clinical
22
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.280
strategies to help healthcare providers deliver better outcomes for their patients.
23
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.000
I'm your host, Jessica Riddle, and today we're excited to
24
00:01:45.040 --> 00:01:49.000
feature a special training from the Better Brains, Better Futures podcast,
25
00:01:49.319 --> 00:01:53.239
hosted by Seth Kaylin. Better Brains, Better Futures is the
26
00:01:53.280 --> 00:01:56.560
newest member of the Factor podcast network, where we bring
27
00:01:56.640 --> 00:01:59.920
you conversations from trusted partners and thought leaders who are
28
00:02:00.040 --> 00:02:05.920
advancing evidence informed healthcare. If doctor Kevin Butterfield's name sounds familiar,
29
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:09.120
well there's a good reason for that. He previously joined
30
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:13.120
us on our episodes one fifteen and one sixteen, where
31
00:02:13.159 --> 00:02:17.680
we explore the science of neurofeedback and its clinical applications.
32
00:02:17.719 --> 00:02:20.719
In this new two part conversation, set sits down with
33
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:24.879
doctor Butterfield to take that discussion even further, exploring how
34
00:02:25.000 --> 00:02:29.800
quantitative EEG brain mapping and neurofeedback are changing the way
35
00:02:29.840 --> 00:02:35.479
clinicians think about performance optimization, concussion recovery, and cognitive resilience.
36
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:39.840
From youth athletes to professional competitors. They make the case
37
00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:44.319
that physical preparation alone isn't enough, and that understanding how
38
00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:48.159
the brain functions may unlock an entirely new level of
39
00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:53.080
human performance. Let's jump into part one of today's feature training.
40
00:03:03.199 --> 00:03:05.919
Thank you all for joining doctor Kevin Butterfield here with
41
00:03:06.039 --> 00:03:10.000
me Seth Klin with Hippocampus Labs, and we are talking
42
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:13.479
about the athletes hidden an advantage. There's no secret there.
43
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:15.759
We're going to be talking about brain mapping, peak performance,
44
00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.560
and eg neurofeedback. So there's a lot of power that's
45
00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:21.960
within your hands with this. And I will let doctor
46
00:03:21.960 --> 00:03:24.680
Butterfield get started so we can kind of get so
47
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:27.560
without further ado, Doctor Butterfield, without.
48
00:03:27.319 --> 00:03:30.240
Further ado, all right, yeah, so this we're going to
49
00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:32.159
talk a lot about the brain mapping, like Seth said,
50
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.599
and EEG neuro feedback and brain mapping. If you're already
51
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:40.039
doing this in your practice, that's awesome. Maybe we can
52
00:03:40.080 --> 00:03:42.000
help you expand a little bit on it. If you're
53
00:03:42.039 --> 00:03:43.919
not doing it in your practice and you want to,
54
00:03:43.960 --> 00:03:45.680
you'll find out why. This is probably a good idea
55
00:03:46.199 --> 00:03:48.719
to do that, because we all in our practices we
56
00:03:48.759 --> 00:03:53.719
see athletes from youth to middle school, high school, college,
57
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:56.120
and some of us see the pros. So the key
58
00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.840
thing that all those people do is to do the
59
00:03:58.879 --> 00:04:01.159
physical performance stuff and they leave the brain out of it,
60
00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:04.240
which it should be the other way around. All right,
61
00:04:04.319 --> 00:04:08.039
So again you guys can read this. We're not giving
62
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:12.120
you medical advice or diagnosing anything or any of your conditions.
63
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:14.840
You should seek all that information out from a licensed
64
00:04:14.879 --> 00:04:18.639
medical professional for any health concerns. Okay, this is just
65
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:19.319
a disclaimer.
66
00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:22.399
One more disclaimer on that. We have some professional athletes
67
00:04:22.439 --> 00:04:25.199
that will be showing during this presentation and a couple
68
00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.920
of quotes that you'll see. They are promoting and referring
69
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:32.519
to nourro feedback as the benefit and the major changes
70
00:04:32.519 --> 00:04:34.959
that it's had in their lives. But we have not
71
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:38.759
contacted them or gone approval from them for hippocampus labs,
72
00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:42.519
but in nor feedback in general. They are major proponents
73
00:04:42.560 --> 00:04:45.480
in the industry and in the professional sports world. So
74
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:46.680
I just wanted to make a note of that.
75
00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:52.600
Excellent, all right, the leadership team. I'm doctor Butterfield. I've
76
00:04:52.600 --> 00:04:55.519
been a chiropractor for a long time. I've been doing
77
00:04:55.560 --> 00:04:59.240
neuro feedback for twenty six years now and that's all
78
00:04:59.240 --> 00:05:03.160
I do. The neuro feedback. I do anything from kids
79
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:06.480
with add kids in the spectrum depression, anxiety, all the way.
80
00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:10.240
It's now more. I do some peak performance brain training
81
00:05:10.319 --> 00:05:15.399
for professional athletes Indie car drivers, Nascard drivers, and NFL players.
82
00:05:16.120 --> 00:05:18.879
That's what I do, and I'm trying to show or
83
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:22.399
help other practitioners across the country to employ this in
84
00:05:22.439 --> 00:05:26.439
their office because it's such a valuable asset, valuable tool
85
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:27.319
in your toolbox.
86
00:05:28.000 --> 00:05:31.959
So myself nutritional therapy practitioner, Board certified and holistic nutrition.
87
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:35.759
I've worked with doctor Butterfield since back in twenty sixteen
88
00:05:35.879 --> 00:05:37.399
when I met him when I was working as a
89
00:05:37.399 --> 00:05:42.079
manufacturer rep for a functional medicine supplement company. And there's
90
00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:46.879
a core major correlation, direct correlation, bidirectional relationship between the
91
00:05:46.879 --> 00:05:50.439
brain and the metabolics system obviously, so I've worked a
92
00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:53.480
lot with the metabolic system as far as supplementation, diet changes,
93
00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:58.199
lifestyle influences to impact the brain health. Never before haven't
94
00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:01.199
been had enough power to be able to make changes
95
00:06:01.240 --> 00:06:04.399
directly to the brain with a technology like this, So
96
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:07.399
now with combining them, we're able to actually have a
97
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:11.959
much faster impact on individuals lives and practices as well
98
00:06:11.959 --> 00:06:14.800
because they're able to combine those things because many healthcare
99
00:06:14.839 --> 00:06:17.360
practitioners and the ones that we're working with are in
100
00:06:17.399 --> 00:06:21.560
the functional medicine or holistic space and they are applying
101
00:06:21.600 --> 00:06:26.120
those methodologies already to support the natural function of the body.
102
00:06:26.199 --> 00:06:29.079
And now with neuro feedback, we're actually directly influenced in
103
00:06:29.199 --> 00:06:32.199
brain energy and the brain waves, so that way the
104
00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.600
brain is in providing more brain energy to give more motivation,
105
00:06:35.759 --> 00:06:38.759
more clarity, more focused to individuals, so they can actually
106
00:06:38.759 --> 00:06:43.000
follow through with lifestyle recommendations for your patients, so when
107
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:46.120
they go home, they have that energy, that mindset, that
108
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:48.600
clarity to make a decision that's better for them rather
109
00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:52.000
than grabbing a glass of wine that's the distressor of
110
00:06:52.040 --> 00:06:54.199
the day. So that's my experience. I've been doing that
111
00:06:54.319 --> 00:06:56.879
for quite a while. I was with that company for
112
00:06:56.959 --> 00:06:59.519
over twelve years now. I've got a holistic health and
113
00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:02.959
wellness space that I have twenty seven employees over seven
114
00:07:03.000 --> 00:07:06.319
thousand square feet that I have with focusing on the
115
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:10.920
real world impact of self care and support for individuals
116
00:07:10.959 --> 00:07:14.240
in my community and more feedback is a big part
117
00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:16.879
of that. We've just been implementing that and getting some
118
00:07:16.920 --> 00:07:20.600
great successes. Dan Court was one of my largest accounts
119
00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:24.240
when I was with that supplement company, and he was
120
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.399
not only an amazing practitioner, an amazing human being to
121
00:07:28.600 --> 00:07:31.480
helping as many people as he could at scale. He
122
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:35.319
had multiple successes prior to him actually getting into the
123
00:07:35.399 --> 00:07:39.639
nutritional holistic realm of multiple businesses that he was able
124
00:07:39.680 --> 00:07:43.639
to build from scratch and sell to multi billion dollar companies.
125
00:07:43.639 --> 00:07:45.480
And the reason that's relevant and I bring that up
126
00:07:45.519 --> 00:07:48.360
is because our purpose and our mission is be able
127
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.759
to take more feedback and make it a well known
128
00:07:51.959 --> 00:07:55.879
modality in healthcare practices and support you to be able
129
00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.079
to implement this and from a successful business manner so
130
00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:01.439
you can get the best result that you can with
131
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:04.680
your practices. So we're combining all the best of both worlds,
132
00:08:04.680 --> 00:08:08.079
the best of nor feedback with doctor Butterfield and his
133
00:08:08.199 --> 00:08:11.920
success in clinical practice and business as well myself with
134
00:08:12.040 --> 00:08:15.319
the holistic perspective of how to support the metabolic system
135
00:08:15.319 --> 00:08:18.279
and Dan with bringing in that additional layer of business
136
00:08:18.399 --> 00:08:22.639
support and clinical support. Just our team, as far as
137
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.399
the leadership team and all of our team that we
138
00:08:24.480 --> 00:08:27.000
have in the background, are really here to support you
139
00:08:27.120 --> 00:08:28.839
to be able to scale this in your office to
140
00:08:28.879 --> 00:08:30.160
whatever degree that you would like to.
141
00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:33.559
Okay, now there we go. Why the brain based training?
142
00:08:33.960 --> 00:08:36.159
Like I said, a lot of the athletes out there,
143
00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:38.399
and the top tier athletes, they work on their body
144
00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:41.440
so much, which is good. They got the best oxygen
145
00:08:41.440 --> 00:08:44.360
capacity and their long needs to last longer. They got
146
00:08:44.480 --> 00:08:46.960
everything they can go going for them from the neck down.
147
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:50.840
But some athletes are a lot of athletes probably use
148
00:08:51.120 --> 00:08:53.919
neuro feedback as well. I mean, it's the mental fatigue
149
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:57.320
accumulates faster than muscular fatigue. Obviously, you're gonna get burned
150
00:08:57.320 --> 00:08:58.879
out in your brain. If we're gonna lose your focus,
151
00:08:58.919 --> 00:09:01.480
you're gonna get straight your thought process, which will slow
152
00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:04.039
you down. But if you focus on the brain while
153
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:06.559
you do the body, that's the comprehensive approach that you
154
00:09:06.559 --> 00:09:10.559
should do. Again, the cost of not doing it is
155
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:12.720
whether you finish on the podium or your team wins
156
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:15.480
or it doesn't win. All the brains are working, firing
157
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:19.600
the best they could. That's an unstoppable force. So to
158
00:09:19.600 --> 00:09:24.159
add in the neural feedback or the neurological precision training,
159
00:09:24.879 --> 00:09:27.360
that's the missing piece that most of these teams don't
160
00:09:27.360 --> 00:09:30.559
have and should have. Okay, yeah, the brain is your
161
00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.279
performances that controls everything else in your whole body, So
162
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.120
you have to have the proper firing of the signals.
163
00:09:37.120 --> 00:09:38.679
The brain wave's got to be in a certain range,
164
00:09:38.720 --> 00:09:41.639
which is normal for them to be able to communicate
165
00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:44.360
in the brain better to send all that information down
166
00:09:44.399 --> 00:09:47.519
to your body. It increases your reaction speed, your tension,
167
00:09:47.519 --> 00:09:51.320
and focus obviously your emotional stability, so you don't have
168
00:09:51.399 --> 00:09:54.559
these meltdowns, and it helps to recover quicker because you
169
00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:56.960
don't burn yourself up or burn your muscles up.
170
00:09:56.919 --> 00:10:00.759
Or so we've all heard the phrase before. It's not
171
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:03.759
in a game, they were making mistakes, and we've seen
172
00:10:03.799 --> 00:10:05.519
it on the big screen. You've probably seen it in
173
00:10:05.559 --> 00:10:08.879
youth sports. That there is when somebody is making mistakes
174
00:10:09.360 --> 00:10:11.679
and it's having a major impact and they're just not
175
00:10:11.759 --> 00:10:15.120
the right mindset. Their performance breakdowns and so they're not
176
00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:19.080
physically not in the game, but they're mentally not in
177
00:10:19.120 --> 00:10:22.399
the game, which is affecting their physical performance. So when
178
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.240
your brain's under competitive stress, it's just regulated and it's
179
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:30.600
not able to respond appropriately. It's misfiring. So that's a
180
00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:34.720
major bottleneck for a lot of these youth athletes and
181
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:39.279
professional athletes to actually being at their at their peak performance.
182
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:42.200
So cognitive drift, that's one of those things where when
183
00:10:42.240 --> 00:10:45.159
there's a stress or that they're receiving or they're having
184
00:10:45.200 --> 00:10:47.639
in the game and it's and they are not able
185
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:51.720
to react as quickly as they as they should because
186
00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:54.240
their brain is not is not able to is not
187
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:56.840
trained in order to be able to respond appropriately. Or
188
00:10:56.879 --> 00:10:59.799
they've had a certain amount of stress that that they've
189
00:10:59.799 --> 00:11:03.200
been under that they've been not able to adapt or recover,
190
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:06.240
so they're fatigued, they're not able to respond, So they're
191
00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:10.200
having some neuro inefficiency. Their brain is consuming more power
192
00:11:10.559 --> 00:11:12.720
and it produces more to take more power than it
193
00:11:12.720 --> 00:11:17.559
actually is producing. So that's a major inefficiency for individuals
194
00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:19.440
when they're trying to be at their top of their game.
195
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.120
And a lot of that also has to correlation. Again,
196
00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:24.240
like I talked about before, with a metabolic system, we
197
00:11:24.279 --> 00:11:26.720
have to support the lifestyle, we have to support the
198
00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:30.600
fuel for the brain so that way you can respond appropriately.
199
00:11:30.639 --> 00:11:33.159
But if the brain waves are out of sync, or
200
00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:37.360
whether it's been through damage of concussion or through stress,
201
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:40.279
or through anxiety and other things, maybe it's a chemical
202
00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:44.240
nature of things that they're eating poorly. That inefficiency is
203
00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:46.919
going to impact their brain waves, which is going to
204
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.200
take them out of the game. Their head's not going
205
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:50.639
to be where it should be to be able to
206
00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.639
be able to firing at all cylinders, and when it's
207
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:57.200
just regulated, when it's not performing at its best, there
208
00:11:57.200 --> 00:12:00.639
are times where that's increasing injury risk. Whether it's and
209
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:03.480
the way that the athlete is moving around its opponent,
210
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:06.080
it's not placing their feet where it's supposed to be.
211
00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:09.639
Maybe that's an ankle injury, or maybe it's a racer
212
00:12:09.799 --> 00:12:12.039
that has a split second decision that they have to
213
00:12:12.080 --> 00:12:15.600
make and that is the difference between getting into a
214
00:12:15.639 --> 00:12:18.519
crash or hitting the wall or not. So it's a
215
00:12:18.519 --> 00:12:21.200
major impact of that brain's not firing on all cylinders.
216
00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:22.840
So got to get the head in the game. And
217
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.759
that's where more feedback actually compliments and helps people be
218
00:12:26.799 --> 00:12:30.440
able to be at their most heightened capability and most
219
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:33.440
focused and relaxed. So it's not just where they're just
220
00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:36.600
going to be on steady alert. They're also able to
221
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:40.440
become relaxed and be able to have emotional regulation when
222
00:12:40.480 --> 00:12:42.279
it's appropriate for the different sports.
223
00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:44.240
And we'll talk I would jump in and see the
224
00:12:44.240 --> 00:12:47.399
classic example of that one. It's Simone Biles. Remember in
225
00:12:47.480 --> 00:12:49.720
the Olympics, she did the twisties or whatever. She couldn't jump.
226
00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:52.720
Her brain wasn't in it. So she just withdrew from
227
00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:54.840
the Olympics because she didn't want to hurt herself because
228
00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:58.799
her brain wasn't there. That's the prime example of that. Okay, yeah,
229
00:12:58.879 --> 00:12:59.600
very good point.
230
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:03.919
Patients have their blood tested, their heart checked, their vision measured.
231
00:13:04.279 --> 00:13:06.799
So when was the last time anyone actually looked at
232
00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:11.720
their brain. Hippocampus Labs helps practices add qEEG, brain mapping
233

239
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:36.879
So there's more than one way you can utilize NOR
240
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:40.080
feedback to impact and help with athletes. So one is
241
00:13:40.080 --> 00:13:44.240
obviously concussion recovery we're talking about now an athlete wellness.
242
00:13:44.320 --> 00:13:48.440
NOR feedback is a powerful tool where that individual had
243
00:13:48.440 --> 00:13:51.639
a concussion, whether it was mild or it was severe,
244
00:13:52.000 --> 00:13:54.840
there's going to be an inflammatory process that the brain
245
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:56.919
has to go through, a healing process that they have
246
00:13:57.000 --> 00:13:59.759
to go through. But after they go through that, sometimes
247
00:14:00.279 --> 00:14:03.240
people are still feeling they're having headaches on a regular basis,
248
00:14:03.240 --> 00:14:06.200
They're not able to sleep, grades can be slipping. The
249
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:08.840
mood of the individual can be changed quite a bit
250
00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:13.000
after a concussion, and that's after they've been released to
251
00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:16.080
play and say you're recovered from your concussion, you're able
252
00:14:16.080 --> 00:14:17.919
to go back in the game, but they're still having
253
00:14:17.960 --> 00:14:22.240
these symptoms, so something is still not right, and a
254
00:14:22.279 --> 00:14:24.960
lot of players, both in youth sports, it really just
255
00:14:25.000 --> 00:14:27.720
goes under the radar and in professional sports they don't
256
00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:30.559
have an answer. And NOR feedback can be one of
257
00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.200
those things that provides an answer. And there's some the
258
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:35.480
high level athletes that have gone through this and it's
259
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:38.679
just lightened like night and day. They've got quotes and
260
00:14:38.799 --> 00:14:41.120
case studies out there and research out there that will
261
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.480
share with you to show the amount of impact that
262
00:14:44.519 --> 00:14:48.679
this NOR feedback can have for concussion recovery and just
263
00:14:48.759 --> 00:14:53.120
improving the athlete wellness overall, for symptom relief, and we
264
00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:56.360
say at the bottom of the slide there especially impactful
265
00:14:56.399 --> 00:14:59.120
for youth athletes. And one of the reasons that is
266
00:14:59.120 --> 00:15:01.559
is because we think about and we see all these
267
00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:04.559
things and studies have been done with professional athletes, but
268
00:15:04.759 --> 00:15:08.399
really it's the youth athletes that want to support everyone.
269
00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:12.559
But youth athletes go under the radar and they most
270
00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:15.480
of them, they never have access to normal feedback because
271
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:18.120
they don't have a practitioner that's local to them, that's
272
00:15:18.159 --> 00:15:20.240
well versed in this, that can help them with this
273
00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.919
type of support. Professional athletes they can afford anything, but
274
00:15:23.960 --> 00:15:26.399
they don't have that local practitioner that's around them that
275
00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:29.600
can educate the parents and educate the teams to help
276
00:15:29.639 --> 00:15:33.120
them with this. And just as I've noticed that I'm
277
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:36.159
in my I'm in forties, I've noticed that recovery time
278
00:15:36.200 --> 00:15:40.240
from a physical activity, an exercise takes a little bit longer. Unfortunately,
279
00:15:40.279 --> 00:15:42.840
I don't like to admit that, but it's the same
280
00:15:42.879 --> 00:15:45.960
thing with the brain. For the brain, as you age,
281
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:48.039
it does take longer to recover from things. When you
282
00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.600
become fatigued or you have lack of sleep, you need
283
00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:53.960
more time to recover. For kids, we've heard those types
284
00:15:54.000 --> 00:15:56.600
of things where they bounce back really quickly. So for
285
00:15:56.720 --> 00:15:59.879
youth athletes that have issues that they've had problems with
286
00:16:00.159 --> 00:16:02.919
to be concussion or other things, with neuro feedback, they
287
00:16:02.919 --> 00:16:05.679
can bounce back very quickly and have a major impact
288
00:16:05.720 --> 00:16:06.759
in a short period of time.
289
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:09.759
Yeah, I've I've had a lot of students that will
290
00:16:09.759 --> 00:16:13.799
go to college to play sports, got concussions, the grades dropped,
291
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:16.480
they dropped out of school. I mean, I can. I
292
00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:18.440
had a lot of cases like that. And the way
293
00:16:18.440 --> 00:16:22.440
that post concussion syndrome is a real thing where the
294
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.919
concussion symtoms last a long time is because the medical
295
00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.519
approach is let's do an MRI or cat scan, which
296
00:16:28.559 --> 00:16:31.279
is a golden standard, and let's look at the slices
297
00:16:31.320 --> 00:16:33.480
of the brain. That's all they look for. It's not
298
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:36.159
a fractured skullar a bleeder. They'll come back as normal.
299
00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:39.960
Neuro feedback and the brain mapping takes electronic slices of
300
00:16:40.000 --> 00:16:42.720
your brain and seat and we can see where the
301
00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:45.480
brain is misfiring. That's why we can go ahead and
302
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:48.840
address the concussion quote scrub it out so it doesn't
303
00:16:48.879 --> 00:16:51.039
be a problem down in the future. Is that that's
304
00:16:51.080 --> 00:16:54.360
the reason why NEU feedback is powerful that way.
305
00:16:54.600 --> 00:16:59.720
Yeah, great point. So for performance optimization in future of training,
306
00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:03.200
we see this with the trend of professional and high
307
00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:07.160
level athletes adopting this and entire teams across the world
308
00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:11.319
adopting this as using this to elevate their team's performance
309
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:14.039
and entire team to help make sure that they're more focused,
310
00:17:14.039 --> 00:17:17.519
they have more emotional control, reaction speed which they're all measuring,
311
00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:21.920
and it is the gym for the brain. You're working
312
00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:26.000
out the brain to make it stronger, more adaptable, more resilient,
313
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:31.079
creating more neuroplasticity so that they can learn new techniques
314
00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:35.200
and new processes faster, handle things at a greater level
315
00:17:35.200 --> 00:17:39.519
of pressure. So, performance optimization and the amount of money
316
00:17:39.519 --> 00:17:43.279
that's being spent now in youth sports for trying to
317
00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:47.880
get their athlete college scholarship or even anil up money,
318
00:17:47.920 --> 00:17:50.759
now that most of you are aware of the just
319
00:17:50.839 --> 00:17:54.039
having that one thing that puts them above all the
320
00:17:54.079 --> 00:17:56.960
others and giving them a mental edge is going to
321
00:17:56.960 --> 00:18:00.920
give them the best opportunity to be able to their
322
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.359
own personal best and be able to have opportunities to
323
00:18:04.400 --> 00:18:08.480
be able to excel further than their classmates or other
324
00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:11.279
schools that are not utilizing this, or other teams that
325
00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:13.880
are not utilizing this. So this is a major thing
326
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:16.160
that can actually elevate an entire team if you're working
327
00:18:16.160 --> 00:18:18.920
with an entire team, but you can definitely want to
328
00:18:19.359 --> 00:18:22.400
have those individuals that you're helping move.
329
00:18:22.200 --> 00:18:23.000
To the next level.
330
00:18:24.039 --> 00:18:26.559
And it aligns with modern science this day and age.
331
00:18:26.559 --> 00:18:29.279
Obviously we're all aware we want more data. The more
332
00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:32.559
data we have, then the more powerful you are as
333
00:18:32.599 --> 00:18:36.960
a practitioner and as a sports coach or an organization
334
00:18:37.400 --> 00:18:41.799
if you have data that you can make meaningful decisions with.
335
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:44.880
And that's where Hippocampus Labs comes in. The data that
336
00:18:44.920 --> 00:18:50.079
we get from utilizing QEG brain mapping which doctor Kevin's
337
00:18:50.079 --> 00:18:52.960
going to get into, and mouro feedback, we have the
338
00:18:53.079 --> 00:18:57.359
opportunity to make major changes in these youth athletes and
339
00:18:57.720 --> 00:19:03.920
semipro college athletes, professionals alike with science driven sports innovation.
340
00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:07.079
Okay, so what we do as far as the brain map,
341
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:09.119
I mean, we put a cap on your head and
342
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:12.799
we actually with all the data from the nineteenth centuries,
343
00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:16.319
we get a three D model of your brain with
344
00:19:16.440 --> 00:19:20.559
sixty eight hundred voxels, which is a volumetric electrical data box,
345
00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:24.480
and we compare that box of information with somebody who's
346
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:27.839
your their age and their gender and their left right handedness,
347
00:19:28.200 --> 00:19:30.880
So we can see what a normal brain looks like,
348
00:19:31.519 --> 00:19:33.440
and we know what brain we're looking at. If they're
349
00:19:33.440 --> 00:19:37.880
struggling in either the frequencies or the networks, we know
350
00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:39.960
where the struggle is and we can target that area.
351
00:19:40.559 --> 00:19:42.799
It's so much information. We get like two hundred and
352
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:46.480
eighty pages of reports, but it identifies where the brain struggles,
353
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:50.160
and it identifies where the brain can improve on the
354
00:19:50.559 --> 00:19:54.240
field and off the field. Each brainwave tells a specific
355
00:19:54.279 --> 00:19:58.839
performance story, like the nerve feedback providers like we Apple
356
00:19:58.880 --> 00:20:02.200
Campus Lab every page of that report, and it's kind
357
00:20:02.200 --> 00:20:05.279
of like a coach reading a game film, identifying patterns
358
00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:09.400
and predict and explain performance outcomes. We can address everything.
359
00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.680
As far as the beta frequency I it is too high,
360
00:20:12.279 --> 00:20:15.480
that leads to performance anxiety. We've got the theta frequency
361
00:20:15.519 --> 00:20:19.200
bursting in there. You get lases and focused and cognitive fatigue,
362
00:20:19.799 --> 00:20:23.960
alpha suppression over focused and rigid. You need alpha frequency
363
00:20:25.039 --> 00:20:28.279
actually higher than the normal brain should be to make
364
00:20:28.319 --> 00:20:30.000
it to clear out all the static in the brain
365
00:20:30.039 --> 00:20:32.839
and focus better. And the asymmetries are also important. You
366
00:20:32.839 --> 00:20:34.759
can catch those on the brain map that the left
367
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:36.759
or right imbalances. That means your brains are not firing
368
00:20:36.759 --> 00:20:39.680
in all cylinders correctly. It means the timing's off. And
369
00:20:39.720 --> 00:20:42.839
we can see all that with QEG brain met You
370
00:20:42.839 --> 00:20:44.759
can't see that with MRI or CASK and or anything
371
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:45.920
else like that. And you can't see it if you
372
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:48.359
just look at somebody to know if they're got their
373
00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:51.119
game going, whether a game is on. Okay, what the
374
00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:53.880
brain what EG neeral feedback actually does? This isn't a
375
00:20:53.880 --> 00:20:56.359
brain map part. The brain map tells us where to
376
00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:58.640
go where. It targets the areas of the brain that
377
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:02.519
need work. So the neuro feedback, it actually is the
378
00:21:02.559 --> 00:21:06.119
sound that you hear when you're putting your the sensors
379
00:21:06.119 --> 00:21:09.279
on the head and the headphones on. We train your
380
00:21:09.279 --> 00:21:12.079
brain to get in this optimal performance state and level,
381
00:21:12.680 --> 00:21:15.359
and again we identify it through the brain map. You
382
00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.799
do the brain training sessions to get them either before event,
383
00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:23.039
before a sporting event or a youth event, we get
384
00:21:23.039 --> 00:21:27.880
the brain firing on all cylinders. Elite athletes don't just
385
00:21:27.920 --> 00:21:32.839
train herder, they think more efficiently. So neuroimaging shows us
386
00:21:32.920 --> 00:21:36.799
who the high performers are. They use less energy in
387
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:39.240
the brain. I learned to do more with less. This
388
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:43.880
is the phenomenon is called cortical efficiency. It's trainable with
389
00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:47.960
neuro feedback, and neuro feedback promotes faster neural activation. And
390
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:49.599
there's a lot of studies out there the show.
391
00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:52.759
That so just on that note, everyone here and if
392
00:21:52.799 --> 00:21:55.720
you're listening to a recording and if you joined late,
393
00:21:56.039 --> 00:21:59.200
we are going to provide a document that actually has
394
00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:03.400
an outlines seventy seven different research studies that have all
395
00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:06.920
been done on athletes and the effects. So you'll have
396
00:22:06.960 --> 00:22:08.920
that the pub meta articles that you can go through
397
00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:12.039
and scour and read into that. The amount of data
398
00:22:12.079 --> 00:22:16.000
that's available just specifically with athletes and athletes from different sports.
399
00:22:16.480 --> 00:22:18.799
That will give you a lot of confidence to be
400
00:22:18.839 --> 00:22:22.079
able to work with your patients and work with sports
401
00:22:22.079 --> 00:22:25.119
teams that are in your local area or in weekend
402
00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:28.279
warriors that just want to just push themselves to the
403
00:22:28.279 --> 00:22:31.440
next level this nore feedback and really have a big impact,
404
00:22:31.519 --> 00:22:36.480
and we have the research behind it. So this Tobias
405
00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:40.200
from the Sixers. This is Tobias Harris. I'm a Sixers fans.
406
00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:42.319
I'm from the Philly area, so we had to find
407
00:22:42.319 --> 00:22:44.960
a Sixers player to put on here. But the quote
408
00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:46.880
from him is, I've got to be able to function
409
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:49.160
the next day at the top level. And he was
410
00:22:49.200 --> 00:22:53.720
referring to the eighty two game season schedule and the
411
00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:57.279
rigorous nature of them having to travel so much. Sleep
412
00:22:57.680 --> 00:23:02.599
and recovery is obviously essential. So he used neuro feedback
413
00:23:02.599 --> 00:23:05.880
and it really just helped him maintain that peak performance
414
00:23:05.920 --> 00:23:07.720
that he needed to be able to sleep better, to
415
00:23:07.799 --> 00:23:10.680
recover and to really have the impact that he was
416
00:23:10.720 --> 00:23:14.359
when he was as a professional player. So there's no
417
00:23:14.519 --> 00:23:17.240
one size fits all brain protocols that we work with
418
00:23:17.240 --> 00:23:19.960
with Hippocampus Labs, like doctor Kevin mentions is, like we
419
00:23:20.000 --> 00:23:22.079
go over over two hundred and eighty pages of reports
420
00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:25.000
and we look at what is the specific thing that
421
00:23:25.000 --> 00:23:28.640
we're going to do with that individual player. But outside
422
00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:30.480
of that, so we're looking at if there's damage, if
423
00:23:30.480 --> 00:23:35.279
there's hyper or there's hypoactivity from a brainwave perspective. But
424
00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:38.559
if we want to get into a specific protocol, we
425
00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:41.680
have the ability to also focus in on what's been
426
00:23:42.079 --> 00:23:46.160
researched to show of like precision sports. So alpha and
427
00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:49.200
SMR regulation is as far as central brain to help
428
00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:52.799
with composure, rhythm, motor consistency under high stakes. If we
429
00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:55.279
want somebody, if they're in a type of sport that
430
00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:57.920
they have to be more explosive and reactive, that sensor
431
00:23:58.000 --> 00:24:01.440
motor beta modulation for faster react like a race car
432
00:24:01.559 --> 00:24:03.839
driver that we can focus on to make sure that
433
00:24:03.880 --> 00:24:06.559
they are able to be at there at the highest
434
00:24:06.640 --> 00:24:11.119
level possible. Endurance training for the individuals that have to
435
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:13.720
sustain for long terms and they have to have that
436
00:24:13.799 --> 00:24:17.640
mental resilience to have that output over long durations where
437
00:24:17.640 --> 00:24:21.240
you can work with midline data training to auto regulation
438
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:25.359
for combat sports. If we want some combat sports and
439
00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:27.880
may I'm sure some of you may have seen they
440
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:30.599
get explosive, they may overreact, and that's kind of like
441
00:24:30.640 --> 00:24:33.759
the showbiz part of it, but essentially a lot of
442
00:24:33.759 --> 00:24:37.319
them have they do that on purpose because of their
443
00:24:37.440 --> 00:24:40.039
getting their fans engaged, but they do have to have
444
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:44.680
that emotional regulation to be able to keep themselves composed
445
00:24:44.839 --> 00:24:48.640
under extreme stress when they're in combat sports. MMA. So
446
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:53.160
the human dimension, this is something that's like psychosocial skills.
447
00:24:53.519 --> 00:24:57.240
It's beyond brain waves. We're building better competitors. The four
448
00:24:57.319 --> 00:25:00.200
areas that you see here, this is dor pheb It's
449
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.880
not just sharpening reflexes. It helps to reshape the psychological
450
00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:06.880
scaffolding of a high performer. So the four things, like
451
00:25:06.960 --> 00:25:11.079
to say, working with another company with some of the
452
00:25:11.119 --> 00:25:13.359
most elite and I've been so blessed to work with
453
00:25:13.400 --> 00:25:18.039
some of the most elite talent identification professionals in the world,
454
00:25:18.640 --> 00:25:25.000
and they're identifying these four things as essential. They're critical
455
00:25:26.000 --> 00:25:30.359
to be a professional athlete. And if they don't have
456
00:25:30.440 --> 00:25:32.720
all these four things that they're working on and at
457
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:36.200
their highest level, then they may become a professional athlete
458
00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:39.279
because their physical skill, but it's going to be like
459
00:25:39.400 --> 00:25:40.920
they're going to stay at the top for a couple
460
00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:43.599
of coffee and they fizzle out. They've got to have
461
00:25:43.759 --> 00:25:46.880
all of these things at the highest level to be
462
00:25:46.920 --> 00:25:52.240
able to become a professional athlete and maintain that professional performance.
463
00:25:52.759 --> 00:25:57.519
So normal feedback helps support individuals with neuroplasticity and how
464
00:25:57.519 --> 00:26:00.720
it supports that to help an individual become more coachable.
465
00:26:00.720 --> 00:26:03.680
If you're working with a youth athlete as you're doing
466
00:26:03.720 --> 00:26:07.240
nor feedback, that's going to increase their ability to actually
467
00:26:07.279 --> 00:26:11.319
be more coachable because they're able to learn faster failure recovery.
468
00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:14.440
They're able to actually have better stress resilience. They're a
469
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:18.680
stress response, so they can actually overcome losses or overcome
470
00:26:19.000 --> 00:26:21.599
in a game when they may have lost a couple
471
00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:24.160
times to an opponent and they need to recover faster
472
00:26:24.200 --> 00:26:25.759
and they got to get their head back in the game.
473
00:26:26.079 --> 00:26:28.079
NOR feedback is going to help them have that resilience
474
00:26:28.079 --> 00:26:29.799
to be able to come back and be able to
475
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:32.839
perform at their elite level and just remove that past
476
00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:36.079
performance from their mind. So they got to have that leadership,
477
00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:38.960
got to have that focus, got to have that sustainable competitiveness,
478
00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:42.720
and NOR feedback can help provide that to athletes to
479
00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:45.039
be at their highest level. When you train the brain
480
00:26:45.200 --> 00:26:47.400
in the lab, as an athlete who shows up in
481
00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:49.960
the locker room, they're in the huddle, they're in a comeback.
482
00:26:50.240 --> 00:26:54.599
They're individuals. We're not just obviously dealing with a statistic here.
483
00:26:54.799 --> 00:26:56.680
We're dealing with the human being and we're able to
484
00:26:56.720 --> 00:26:59.359
help them really be at their best. So giving them
485
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:02.200
an edge is really powerful that you can all have.
486
00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:07.920
So it's providing that support as practitioners, as hippop campus slabs.
487
00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:11.039
We're focusing on the highest level protocols that we can
488
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:14.039
provide you that will give you the best results, so
489
00:27:14.079 --> 00:27:15.640
you don't have to go back to school. You don't
490
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:18.440
have to be questioning is this the right direction to
491
00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:20.480
be able to support this athlete. I really want to
492
00:27:20.480 --> 00:27:23.079
make sure they get the results, and we really genuinely
493
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:26.559
that's what we're doing. Is we understand who we're dealing with.
494
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:28.279
We're dealing with humans on the other end. We want
495
00:27:28.319 --> 00:27:30.680
to make sure that they get the best results possible. Yeah,
496
00:27:30.680 --> 00:27:32.599
benefits for athletes. We've talked about this a little bit.
497
00:27:32.640 --> 00:27:36.279
It just amplifies it. Sharper execution under pressure, consistent focus
498
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:39.480
and rhythm, shorter recovery windows, lower injury risk, all of it.
499
00:27:39.519 --> 00:27:42.480
Like we are with more feedback, you're able to take
500
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:45.279
the individual and take them to the next level. They're
501
00:27:45.319 --> 00:27:47.799
able to work on their physical performance. You're able to
502
00:27:47.839 --> 00:27:50.519
as a practitioner working on the mental performance and helping
503
00:27:50.519 --> 00:27:52.319
them be the best athlete that can be.
504
00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:06.240

513
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:43.880
into real world implementation, looking at how elite athletes, sports organizations,
514
00:28:44.119 --> 00:28:48.119
and healthcare providers are using brain mapping and neurofeedback to
515
00:28:48.200 --> 00:28:53.400
optimize performance and support concussion recovery. Part two drops in
516
