Episode 51: Conquer Anxiety, ADHD, Insomnia and More: How Neurofeedback Can Transform Your Brain Health with Angie Noack




Episode Highlights


In this episode of the Biohackerblondie podcast, Jenny Jones interviews Angie Noak, Vice President of Brain Code Centers, to explore how neurofeedback and brain mapping can help optimize brain health. Angie shares her personal journey into neurofeedback after experiencing a traumatic brain injury, discusses how Brain Code Centers operate, and explains the transformative impact of neurofeedback on conditions like anxiety, depression, and ADD/ADHD.


Key Topics Discussed:


Understanding Neurofeedback and Brain Mapping


  • What is neurofeedback? A non-invasive, operant conditioning training that uses reward-based methods to reprogram the brain.

  • Brain mapping (QEEG): Measures electrical activity in the brain to identify patterns related to anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, sleep issues, and more.

  • Individualized treatment plans: Protocols are tailored to each patient’s unique brain activity and neurological patterns.


Common Brain Health Challenges


  • Overproduction of high beta brain waves linked to anxiety, hypervigilance, and irritability.

  • Chronic pain cycles: Differentiating between physiological and perceived pain in the brain.

  • Gut-brain connection: The impact of brain health on gastrointestinal issues and overall health.


Success Rates and Benefits


  • Neurofeedback shows an 80-90% success rate for reducing anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.

  • Helps patients titrate off medications with support from prescribing doctors.

  • Promotes long-term brain plasticity, creating lasting neurological changes.


Practical Applications


  • Devices and equipment:

    • In-office sessions use electrodes to monitor brain activity.

    • Remote sessions use a headset and app for at-home training.


  • Session details:

    • Brain mapping takes 1 hour.

    • Neurofeedback typically requires 40–60 sessions (in-office) or a six-month remote program with 20-minute sessions, 3–4 times per week.


Neurofeedback for Specific Issues


  • Mental health: Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma.

  • Cognitive performance: Focus, motivation, and career optimization.

  • Addiction support: Helps address underlying neurological imbalances contributing to addiction.

  • Pain management: Effective for migraines, chronic pain, and breaking pain cycles.

  • Sleep optimization: Reduces insomnia and improves overall sleep quality.


Cost and Accessibility


  • In-person brain mapping: $750 per session.

  • In-person sessions: ~$90 per session.

  • Remote program: $499 for the headset, $499/month for sessions.

  • Free consultations offered by Brain Code Centers via their website or Instagram.


Additional Recommendations from Angie Noak


  • Lifestyle: Neurofeedback is most effective when combined with a healthy diet, regular sleep, and stress management practices.

    • Angie swears by raw garlic for immune support and general health.
