Rachel Lambert 0:00
You actually reversed your bipolar completely naturally. You can teach the brain how to correct that activity. Then you have the opportunity to reallocate where that energy is put in the brain.
Angie Noack 0:10
I honestly can tell you, I don't even remember what anxiety feels like, truly, that I haven't had a panic attack since I did neurofeedback 10 years ago.
Alex Clark 0:18
Why is brain mapping or neurofeedback ideal for somebody trying to get off a medication?
Rachel Lambert 0:22
You're essentially teaching the brain to do what the medication is doing synthetically, organically from a learning perspective.

Millions of people have spent years believing that they are anxious, depressed, burned out, have ADHD, are bipolar, they're just emotional, maybe lazy, unfocused, or even broken. Meanwhile, the real story may be sitting right between our ears. The brain is the most powerful organ in the human body, and yet most of us have never actually looked into it. Today we're talking about brain mapping, neurofeedback, and what happens when you stop treating symptoms and start looking at the source. Joining me is Rachel Lambert, founder of Brain Code Centers, licensed psychotherapist, and board-certified neurofeedback practitioner. After neurofeedback transformed her own mental health as a teenager, she dedicated her career to helping others better understand and optimize their brains.
Alex Clark 1:35
And then there's Angie Nowak, senior vice president of Brain Code Center's licensed professional counselor, neuroscience educator, and brain optimization expert. Following a life-altering traumatic brain injury, Angie turned her recovery journey into a mission to help others unlock the brain's ability to heal and perform at its best.

Alex Clark 2:13
Take it or leave it. This is how my brain operates. There's nothing I can do. I'm just stuck with it. I have a messed up, broken brain. Is that really true?
Rachel Lambert 2:20
Everybody has different patterns, right? From an intellectual standpoint. This is why there's CEOs of companies. This is why there's people that are engineers. And this is why there's creatives. So it's not that our brains are messed up, but oftentimes our brains lack the ability to state shift exceptionally well. And so our brain will get stuck in different physiological states, right? And this is then when people have blind spots where they can't focus or they're feeling anxious or they can't fall asleep at night. So we are under the belief that your brain is never broken. Your brain is always neuroplastic. It's always willing to change and it's capable of change, but you just have to give it that catalyst in which to do so.
Alex Clark 2:57
If I showed you a brain scan, could you tell me if somebody was depressed or anxious or addicted or headed for burnout?
Angie Noack 3:03
Absolutely, we can. Yes. So really nothing can hide from us in a brain scan. We're looking at all of the different brain waves that people are creating and what's overactive and underactive. And that tells us things, right? It's really like a tapestry of your life. You probably already know if you experience feelings of anxiety or experience feelings of depression, but it's more so as a culture, we're very hooked on diagnosis, right? That we are, everybody's diagnosed with everything and going to make sure that they're diagnosed with something. But really when it comes down to a diagnosis, all that is is symptoms, right? That's not actually looking at the underlying biology of what's happening. That's what we're doing.
Angie Noack 3:40
We're looking at the underlying biological force of what is pushing these symptoms out. And that's how we're able to determine that.
Alex Clark 3:47
How many people are walking around convinced that they're lazy, they're crazy, they've got ADHD, they're anxious, depressed, when the real issue is that their brain just isn't functioning properly?
