Change the Way Your Brain Works
My research has helped redefine how we think about our bodies and how they interact with our environment. I’ve been fortunate to speak at conferences, publish articles, and consult with leading researchers on brain plasticity, neuroplasticity, and neurogenesis. My research has provided the public with a more comprehensive understanding of the brain, its capabilities, and the potential for new treatments for neurological disorders. I’ve also applied my findings to my life, helping me better understand and improve my mental health.
Our brains and bodies can adapt and change in response to new experiences. This knowledge has been compelling in helping me to understand my mental health and create a healthier and more balanced life.
I’m passionate about helping people recognize that our physiology is malleable and that we can use this to our advantage to reach our goals, increase our well-being, and create the lives we want.
Are you ready to take the plunge?
It means using your thoughts to create changes in your life that you never thought were possible. It means taking control of your physical and mental health and using your brain to unlock your limitless potential. Are you ready to be superhuman?
My research and experience have taught me that being supernatural is a realistic and achievable possibility. With the right mindset, anyone can take control of their lives and use their thoughts and brain to become superhuman. With the proper knowledge, dedication, and practice, we can all become the best version of ourselves.
In 1994, I had my own experience that forever changed my life. A serious incident forced me to meld together everything I knew from my scientific mind and training to a greater level of understanding about the nature of reality, what is possible, and how your brain is made up.
The first brain is the reptilian brain. It is the oldest part of the brain and is responsible for essential survival functions. This includes breathing, heart rate, digestion, and reflexes.
The second brain is the limbic brain. It is responsible for emotion, memory, and behavior. This is where we experience fear, anger, and pleasure.
The third brain is the neocortex. It is the newest part of the brain and is responsible for higher-level thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making.
By understanding the three brains and how they work together, we can tap into our full potential and create positive life changes. Once we know our unique brain and how it functions, we can rewire our brains to create new neural pathways and behaviors. With enough practice, we can be superhuman. I’m excited to show you how.

It’s divided into different regions and different areas. So, the front of the brain, called the forebrain, makes up 40% of your entire brain. It’s the largest in human beings and what separates us from all other species. The next closest species, gibbons and chimpanzees, their frontal lobe is about 14 to 17%. dogs about 7%, in cats about 3%.
The frontal lobe is known to be called the area of executive function. But think of the frontal lobe as the CEO of the brain or the symphony leader. The frontal lobe allows us to decide on an action, focus our concentration, invent, speculate, to have intention or attention. The area of our brain restrains our emotional reactions or begins to imagine new possibilities. So, think of your frontal lobe as the seat of your conscience or your creative center.
Now, the rest of the brain is divided into geography; for example, the back of your brain, called the occipital lobe or the visual cortex, is where you process sight or spatial orientation.
There are strips in areas of your brain that allow you to feel certain things with your body or to invoke or begin to initiate motor function or movement. Some areas of the brain will enable you to make long-term memories and start to distinguish between self and non-self. But the entire brain is mapped geographically, and think of that first brain as that part of the brain that allows you to learn new things and to have a new experiences. So then, every time you know something new, you make new connections in your brain.
Learning is forging new synaptic connections. In some of the latest research in neuroscience, one hour of focused concentration on one concept or idea doubles the number of links in your brain. It produces physical evidence from your interaction in the environment. So then, all of this philosophy, intellectual data, theory, and knowledge is stored in that neocortex called your thinking brain.
Now, the next step is to take that knowledge, that philosophy, and to begin to apply it, personalize it, demonstrate, and initiate that knowledge in some way. And if you do this properly and you can get your behaviors to match your intentions, you can get actions equal to your thoughts, get your mind and body working together, and have a new experience.
Now, when you’re in the midst of an experience, all of your five senses plug you into the environment. As all of that sensory information rushes back to your brain, jungles of neurons begin to organize themselves into patterns and networks. So then, experience enriches the philosophical circuits in your brain. When those neurons form into networks, the second brain, called the limbic brain, the emotional brain, the chemical brain, and the mammalian brain, start to make a chemical. That chemical is called a feeling or an emotion.
So the moments you feel unlimited, the moment you feel abundant, the moment you feel free from any experience, now you are teaching your body chemically to understand what your mind has intellectually understood.
Knowledge is for the mind, and experience is for the body. And at that moment, you are embodying the truth of that philosophy. And because there’s new information from the environment, you’re beginning to change your genetic destiny by signaling new genes in new ways. And it is the limbic brain or the chemical brain that begins to manufacture those chemicals, so your body becomes chemically instructed to understand what your mind has intellectually understood. Now, the limbic brain also has some other functions. It is the seat of your autonomic nervous system. And think of your autonomic nervous system as your automatic nervous system. This part of the brain subconsciously regulates blood sugar levels, hormone levels, temperature, respiration, and heart rate; this part of the brain gives us life automatically.
And then, when you begin to manufacture that chemical from experience, the emotional signature from that experience starts to change your body somehow. So if you’ve created that experience once, you should be able to recreate it again. And if you can play any experience repeatedly, you will begin to condition your mind and body to work as one neurochemically. And if you’ve done something so many times that your body now knows how to do it as well as your mind, now it’s innate in you, it’s second nature, it’s easy, it’s automatic, it’s familiar. You’ve done it so many times that you no longer have to think about it consciously, so it becomes a subconscious program.
