Review for Change Your Brain Change Your Life Foundation, Costa Mesa, CA, USA
I'm a prior Army service member with multiple combat deployments in my recent past. I'm also a working father and husband, just trying to excel in both those roles.
Since leaving the military, and having experienced some serious trauma from prior deployments, I (well, mainly my wife) have noticed some significant changes in my concentration, sleep, and mood patterns.
Over the years we've tried almost everything to address these changes: medications for sleep/mood/focus; Diet and cleansing mechanisms; Therapy and communication /healing conventions, even self-help relationship books (ad nauseum). Then my wife reached out to the Amen Clinique, the creators of "Change Your Brain Change Your Life Foundation", and more specifically Tanya, the Foundation Director (doubling as our personal friend and cheerleader). Within two weeks of my initial assessment, having adhered to the prescribed medical/nutritional/brain stimulating treatment, I was able to sleep soundly for 8 plus hours a night on a regular basis. My wife began making regular comments about how calm I seemed. This was, and has been, a vast improvement to my quality - and enjoyment of - life! Since 2010, I averaged between 3-6 hours of interrupted sleep, when I was able TO sleep at all. Being able to rediscover a normal sleep pattern is a god-sent for me. Seeing the relief and hope in my wife's eyes has been an even greater gift.
I'm still only partially thru my treatment, but the immediate effects have been impactful and encouraging. Dr. Amen and his talented and nurturing staff know what they're doing. I'm a believer in the science behind his methods, and am living proof of the dynamic changes that are possible. I, like my wife, am hopeful and eagerly awaiting completion of this treatment: I'm excited to see where I will be, mentally and emotionally, 4,6, even 8 weeks from now.
My recommendation: If you feel uncharacteristically moody, are having trouble sleeping, and can't access your mind/intellect the way you once could, don't complacently accept that your current state is 'just who you are now'. Trauma, stress, diet, and life-in-general can negatively and prematurely reduce your cognitive function - and over-all enjoyment in life. Don't let that be your accepted narrative for how your life is going. Push back and take a look at this and other forms of health and mental regeneration.
I honestly feel that this treatment can reverse degraded brain function and aptitude. Well, that's been my experience, anyway. The next level benefits extend to dementia and Alzheimer's. Two of my grandparents, and my father, have suffered these degenerative brain diseases. If I continue to receive the results I've so far seen, I'll be introducing my Dad to this program in short order.
