• Quite the opposite, about 6 million cases per year! They are however less likely to speak about it and they tend to focus on the physical aspects of it like headaches or insomnia. It is not ‘’all in your head’’ and we can help with supplements and various brain optimization devices.

2. Men do need testosterone replacement therapy.

• Unless levels are truly low or severe symptoms, they should focus on lifestyle changes, replacing the vitamins deficiency, working on liver support for a whole-body detox and balancing cortisol and blood sugar should be the first steps! JOOVV infrared light has amazing studies showing increased testosterone levels as well. Our patients love it!

3. Hair loss is not caused by wearing hats!

• And by the way there are so many options available for treatment including exosomes therapy but always try to discover the real cause behind it: autoimmune diseases, poor nutrition status and even stress.

4. Erectile dysfunction or ED affects only older men

• In fact, obesity, diabetes, stress, and smoking can cause ED in younger men. The ED is defined as inability to get an erection or sustain it. Start addressing all the risk factors asap! Let’s look at the rest of the hormonal levels: insulin, cortisol and thyroid and let’s fix that balance.

5. Self-exams are not only for women!

• Testicular cancer affects young men, and it is curable if detected even at a later stage. Oh, and just to clarify this one too-men do get breast cancer as well! Pay attention to your body and report any change to your doctor.

6. Just because you exercise does not mean you can eat unhealthy foods or neglect your stress level.

• And long, strenuous exercise sessions are not necessarily better. Aim for variety: strength training, walking, running, stretching.

7. Elevated PSA does not always equal prostate cancer.

• Inflammation or minor trauma can cause a PSA leak as well (long bicycle ride anyone?). Monitor the trend rather than just one value.

So, with all the misinformation available on the internet how do you what path is right for you? Why guess when it is easy to test and design a treatment meant for your body needs?

Start looking for answers and we will be happy to help you!

Stay healthy and happy,

Looking forward to seeing you all!

Or simply put by other authors the neurofeedback for peak performance teaches an individual how ‘’to control attention, thought, feelings, thus performance’’

Neurofeedback training focuses on 5 brain waves: delta, theta, alpha, beta and gamma waves each with their own role in learning and performance.

For example, when alpha waves are slower than ideal an individual might feel sluggish and have trouble remembering facts because alpha are associated with the relaxed focus, calm attention, cognitive efficiency, intellectual performance. This could be a huge problem for a businessman or an athlete during an important game when major decisions are made within sometimes seconds.

Or imagine experiencing  daydreaming or some of the intrusive negative self-talk which can impact attention and concentration while you are trying to solve a problem or in the middle of a concert -the neurofeedback can not only detect that based on an abnormal ratio between another 2 types of waves( theta and beta) but also  help the brain reverse that pattern.

Neurofeedback measures the activity of brain waves and helps you make more or less of certain brain patterns by changing its activity or by fixing how different areas of the brain communicate with one another. This enables you to improve your attention and control your emotions and behavior.

How does it work?

First, we attach sensors on your head and record your EEG brain activity with a computerized system that gives you feedback with the help of a movie or a video game on a TV screen.

For instance, if your brain produces more of the beta brain waves, the movie images will be bright with loud music but when you are less vigilant and distracted the movie will fade out. By doing this, you soon discover how to keep the movie from fading out by deviating the brain activity that’s being trained. Your brain will figure out quickly how to get the bright pictures back on and how to keep the movie from being faded out.

What are the results?

• learn how to focus when needed or to relax and become calm during periods of stress.
• enhance the emotional intelligence, the confidence level and the control of emotions even under stressful situations.
• improve the depth and quality of sleep, which directly benefits the physical presence and performance of an athlete.
• bring out the creativity and inventiveness of your mind hence will bring new ideas to your business plans and strategies.

Who benefits from it?

Businessmen/women, musicians, athletes or any individuals who are required to function under constant levels of high stress.

C Milan football club has been using Neurofeeback training since 2006 and based on their World Cup win it was also adapted by Real Madrid. Chelsea began using it in 2009.

Neurofeedback is also used for peak performance brain training by:
