Post

Today on the Muscle Intelligence Podcast we are very happy to welcome Dr. Tim Royer to talk to us about the mind and the nervous system! Dr. Royer works with all types of patients, from young children to high performing sports champions and has developed a method, using feedback loops and conscious effort to train the mind to navigate its own sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. Dr. Royer tells us how using the machine and data collected, displayed in the form of a data dashboard, allows a participant to start actively learning how to control their brainwave activity. Many of us have heard of the different kinds of brainwave frequency that occur in our minds. With the help of Dr. Royer and this treatment, an individual can better grasp and control which of these frequency states they are in. Our guest starts by explaining how we create and consume fuel for our body to run and then goes on to explain which of the inputs are most important to this process. We also discuss related issues, like PTSD and ADHD and how these can be understood through this paradigm. Dr. Royer shows how these cases are much more healthily and effectively dealt with through learning and practice rather than medication. For all of this and much more, from someone making a noticeable impact on the evolution of humanity, be sure to join us!
